"Why Skepticism Is Vital To The Newbie Netreprenuer"Written by Karl Augustine
At least 90% of all online businesses fail...the netreprenuer's time and money simply run out!So, exactly how skeptical does a newbie need to be in order to really be sensible? Being presented countless offers and products as an Internet marketing newbie, this question is really a matter of common sense. Still, many newcomers react rather than evaluate, and fall into trap of falling for "the hook" of offer being presented. Rookie marketers get excited about most things that come across their desk...and for good reason. The Internet is most powerful non-human tool in history of marketing, and folks are making large sums of money using it. Newbies who are truly dead set on joining wave we call "Internet marketing" realize they have to purchase certain products and listen to certain people if they are going to learn what it takes to be successful. And, when a bullish newcomer makes his/her mind up to go for it, excitement can usually get better of them when reading web copy. They imagine themselves making x amount of money or driving x amount of traffic to their site or believing that "this is most amazing system...", just like they are being told to do by sales copy of web pages. Before they can really assess what is being presented, another senior level marketer makes another sale and one more rookie has used by far his/her most valuable resources; time and money. Rather than waste time and money, rookies should force themselves to be skeptical if they aren't inherently skeptical already. Skepticism is a good thing...it alleviates doubt and diminishes blame. Skepticism in these terms is merely taking a step back when evaluating anything and saying "Sounds good, but, am I letting emotion get in ay of my intellect? Did what I read, saw, or heard spark a specific feeling?". If answer is "yes" in any form, then true skeptic will actually realize that happened to them before they act on that feeling. At this moment, rookie knows he/she has reached a level where he/she can protect those 2 most valued resource; time and money.

5 surefire ways to compete in office cleaning businessYou have decided that office cleaning business is best for you, now you need to know who your competition is. Knowing this will help you to decide what your plan of action will be in dealing with them. You will want to know what their successes have been and what their pitfalls have been as well. You will want to avoid making same mistakes that they have, but it is always good to know what works as well if you plan to compete. In some cases, you may find that best way to compete with your competition is to not compete at all, especially if they have established a long and trusted reputation with their consumers. In this case, you will want to compete with them without competing with them at all. Below are some ways that you can do that. You do not want to alienate your competition or build feuds with them because they can be a source of great help to you if you know how to approach them. Here are some good examples of ways that you can create a good rapport with them. 1.Offer to be an affiliate of theirs. This way you can ensure that they will send business your way if they cannot meet present needs of a customer that you can supply. (This is also called sub-contracting) 2.Offer to not have certain extra cleaning services(for example waxing or steam carpet cleaning) that they offer and ask them to do same. This ensures that each business will not be in direct competition for certain cleaning services. Each gets their own special item that none other offers. It is a great way to promote one another without causing any problems. This is a nice way to cross advertise.
