Today, I'm going to help you see into yourself so you can take an honest look at why you're having trouble making transition into entrepreneurship.

As you grow yourself out of your current situation towards entrepreneurship, you will pass through three phases of development.

The first phase is DEPENDENCY PHASE. Physical dependence is same as if you were hooked on some sort of substance. Your mind has decided that it is completely reliant on something. It doesn't have to be a substance!! It could be a family location. It could be a physical impairment. It could be that you don't own type of clothing that your mind needs to see your body in before it can accept that you can be someone different.

The mental and emotional component of this dependence is most important part to understand. If you cannot get a handle on your dependencies in this area you will get stuck in this phase. That said, this is also most liberating door to walk through. You have to sit your self down and take an HONEST look at your life up to this point. Remind yourself about your dreams!! Accomplishment in absence of dreams is impossible!! Open yourself up to possible and focus your energy toward that goal!!

There is an alternative. Third-party credit card processing companies handle your credit card transactions for you in return for a cut of your profits. Setup is typically either free, or there's a small, one-time fee.

Here's here it works: once you've applied and/or been approved and paid any applicable setup fees, you create ordering links for your products. These ordering links lead to third-party processor's server, where they handle orders on your behalf. Credit cards and online checks are common ordering options provided by third-party processors. Some also offer a telephone ordering option.

After your customer places an order, that sale is automatically credited to you, minus company's commission. You are paid by third-party processor at regular intervals, according to their pay schedule.

So what's big deal? Why would third-party processors appeal to startup businesses? Aside from setup fee, you are only ever charged IF and WHEN you make a sale. If you don't sell anything, you're not charged anything.

Here are a few things to consider when researching third- party processors:

* How much is setup fee? Don't be put off if there is one; three of four processors I use charge a setup fee, and they've been well worth small cost.

* Transaction fees. After paying these fees, do you still make a reasonable profit? I've seen fees ranging from around 5% to about 30%, with average somewhere in middle.
