Look For Deals, Not More
Work
All
of us have been employees or followers at some to many
stages in our lives before we even thought of starting
our own Internet Business.
As
employees, we learn to work for other people. We are
paid more for more work done. However, the exact
opposite applies when we take the place of Internet
Entrepreneurs.
You Are Paid More for
Less Work Done
This
statement sound absurd and contradictory but please give
me a moment to explain. In fact, this very reason can be
the main factor why most Internet Businesses fail in the
first 120 days.
Consider the following:
You
work for some one else. Your employer pays you more for
more and more work done. If you work in an office, your
day-to-day job may range from picking up phone calls,
offering customer service and support, to paper work and
more. Your employer pays you to do all these.
If
you are not working for your employer, who else will pay
you for answering phone calls and doing paper work? No
one!
And
this applies even if you are an Internet Entrepreneur.
You are not paid to read E-mails, creating your first
business site (in fact you might be paying some one else
to do this if you are not HTML literate), and writing
articles.
As an
Internet Entrepreneur, you are paid only when someone is
happy to give you money. And that is none other than
your customers. This is why you have to offer top-notch
customer service alongside with being willing to work
for free until you start to profit from your Online
Business.
For
some peculiar reasons, most people just do not get the
concept. I do not know why but I can only guess they do
not read the same books on Entrepreneurship. If you are
thinking of engaging in a business of some kind, I
strongly suggest you read at least a book on
Entrepreneurship, Self-Help or Money.
Deals vs. Work
Work
such as creating and building a better business site,
fixing technical problems, setting things up, and
updating the blog are important tasks you cannot avoid
doing when starting an Internet Business of any niche.
But the bottom-line was that you are not getting paid to
do those.
If
you are really despaired about being in business for
some time but with little or no results in your sales,
this can be the ultimate mental block you are having,
consciously or unconsciously:
You
are not looking for enough deals. You are in fact,
looking for more work to do. Work that people do not pay
you for.
So, I
emphasize you look for deals. Look for opportunities. A
job will not make you rich. A lot of people who started
their Internet Business realize that but they still run
their business with the same mind-set: look for more
work to do.
I
often find that ironic as I believe the common goal
every person who start an Internet Business share is to
have more time and money. Why jump from a job into
another, which you call a business?
Look
for deals and not more work. Deals and opportunities
make you rich. You already know how much a job can give
you.
A Word on Jobs
Remember that I am not banging on a job. But if you are
serious about becoming a successful Internet
Entrepreneur, this is an education worth taking to
change your ounce of perception on looking for more
deals rather than looking for more work that will eat
most of your valuable time and not make you money.
Day-to-day work on your Internet Business operation is
important but it is successful deals you have pulled
that make you money.
