Top 2 Reasons for Self-defeat Online

With the birth of online marketing only a few years ago came an industry that has exploded beyond the expectations of even the most knowledgeable Internet experts. We learn almost daily of the newest Internet Millionaire who only a short time ago was eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches out of his/her small apartment, driving a beat-up car and wondering where next month's rent was coming from.

Yet, when we look at the statistics of online success and failure, we see a consistent pattern of 2% success and 98% failure, give or take a point, for those individuals who dare to venture into the virtual world of commerce. Why is this?

For starters, a large percentage of the risk-takers who make the decision to build a business online either have no product or business to start with, or they have no idea how to begin marketing whatever it is they've chosen to sell online.

Therein lies the two major problems facing most newbies who want to eventually give up the work-a-day world for a more leisurely life at home in their pajamas, perched in front of their computer screen, having a go at business from home. These
two obstacles ... no product/business in hand, coupled with no formal training in the aspects of online marketing, contribute to the downfall of untold thousands of upstarts on the Net.

Much can be said about the need for startup capital, but realistically, a home-based entrepreneur can begin with little or no money and build a fortune online. Another element entering into the picture is whether a person has the 'right stuff' to journey into this world of the unknown. But I'll leave that to the self-improvement experts ... the professionals who can help bring the hidden talents and self-motivation aspects from deep within most anyone willing to try.

If you're one of the brave souls contemplating or already giving it a go online, you'll want to do your due diligence in finding a suitable product or business that carries a high chance for success in the online world. Beyond this step it is then most important that you find proper and reliable online training that will get you off to the right start in marketing your new business. This is crucial to your achieving the goals you establish for yourself and to your continuing success.

Your personal self-growth and self-reliance in a home-based business of your own constitute one of the most exciting and fulfilling accomplishments you can ever imagine. You simply need to take the first step ... ACTION!
