Internet Marketing Business Obstacles
It is a well-known
statistic that 50% of all businesses fail within the first two years.
Within five years, a total of 95% of small businesses fail. These are
daunting statistics that are coming from the Small Business
Administration (SBA) office, with study after study proving the
difficulty of establishing a successful business. These statistics are
equally true of online businesses where the same factors that affected
the failure of solid businesses correlates to e-commerce with too many
entrepreneurs who don't know the obstacles they face.
But What Are These Statistics Based On?
Despite these negative statistics, you have to take a look at these
statistics with a grain of salt. Even the SBA admits that many of the
statistics are affected by people who are in business part-time as
opposed to full-time and never had any intention of being in business
for themselves long-term. They may have filed the business with IRS to
make use of deductions or to claim income, but it doesn't really point
to the determination to stay in business long-term.
If you want to start a business part-time, odds are you too can get it
to survive for at least two years, and maybe five years top without
committing yourself to its growth.
However, if you want to stay in business long-term, the success will be
determined by how much effort and learning you have placed into the
business. Obviously, if you see this business as your livelihood, you
will be more motivated to grow the business rather than letting outside
situations make or break your potential for success.
One thing you need to understand from the start is that looking at
other people's failures is only helpful in instructing you on what not
to do. It is not going to tell you how to grow your business. For that,
you need to study successes. So, use everything to your advantage,
whether it is success or failure.
The key to growing a business is flexibility, know-how, and a drive to
succeed. Do learn from other people's mistakes, but don't let their
failures determine your own potential for success. If you can't believe
that you can succeed where others have failed, then you shouldn't be in
business for yourself to begin with.
By balancing what you should do with what to avoid, you can steer clear
of traps and make it to the highway of high earnings in less time and
with more confidence.
