Why Your Online Home Business Might Fail

This is straight talk about why your online home business might fail.

No sugar coating this time. Nope!

Your online home business will fail because of you.

Not the company, not the system, not the tools.

It’s you.

Now, that’s pretty rough talk for someone who has the passion and vision to help others succeed in this industry.

It comes straight from experience, from my heart and from the hundreds of conversations I’ve had coaching teammates and clients.

The coaching session is usually prompted by this statement:

“I’m not making any money. I need you to help me.”

And as the conversation continues, I begin asking questions that will give me clarity on where the issue lies … and it’s almost ALWAYS a matter of not being plugged in.

For example, here are the questions I ask:

1.  Have you been through the training in the back office?

2. Have you plugged into the private Facebook group for daily updates and new training?

3. Are you attending the free training webinar each week?

4. Have you invested time to see and understand the products/services/resources you are selling?

5. Are you consistently creating content?

The answers I receive to these questions are not a definitive YES.  The answers are, “No, I haven’t, not completely.”  “No, I don’t.” or “No, I haven’t gotten around to it yet.”

And the old familiar saying comes to mind immediately …

You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.

You can’t MAKE me! 🙂

 

The issue that surfaces so often in online marketing that causes you to skip the valuable training steps is the sense of urgency to make money.

It’s usually so urgent that people jump in and start sharing their link without investing time to study exactly what the products are and they do not take the time to go through the training – to learn how to effectively market online.

It’s the culture we live in – the push-button, lottery ticket mentality that makes people want it all NOW, or sooner.

But, an online home business is not a lottery ticket and unless you invest in the time to learn how to build your business the right way, you will be calling me with the familiar plea for coaching because you are not making any money.

You joined an opportunity probably because you saw or read that others were having great success, earning a great extra income … so you were eager to get going and get to that level also.

You probably jumped in so excited that you began to pitch your business on Facebook like you see so many others doing.

You skipped the training and went straight to the pitching.

And the results?   Zip! Zilch!    That translates to OUCH!

I certainly understand the urgency that most people feel to start earning some cash flow.

But, it’s not going to happen unless you truly plug in and invest the time to learn the steps … to learn marketing skills that work … to engage with teammates and develop skills from watching what the leaders are doing.

You can do it your way … and end up calling me… at which point I’ll take you back to the questions, back to the beginning.

Or, you can do it the right way so that you start building your online business step by step so that you are building something that stands on solid ground, not sifting sand.

You’ve been led to the water, to the fountain of training … but I can’t make you take one sip of the water.

This is the #1 reason why your online business might fail.

Plug in or peter out!

This is the #1 reason why your online home business might fail.
