The Three P's Of Success
by Terry
Starting and building an Internet business is not an
easy task. There is the never-ending learning about
promotion, marketing, website design and building,
technical problems, HTML, cgi, java; the list goes
on and on. There are a few things you should think
about when you are planning your online business.
These three things are some of the most basic yet most
important aspects that could make your business a
success!
These are Perseverance, Passion and People!
**Perseverance - Building a successful online business
can take months or even years. Examine your goals and
your life.
Will you have what it takes to not give up
when things are going bad?
Do you have the determination to work this business
for weeks or months without making any money?
Do you want to give up most of the small amount of
spare time that you now have?
Go over these questions in your mind and see what you
come up with. Despite all the "get rich quick" ads
you see, this most likely will not happen. Most people
will not even get rich slowly, however, you can make
a good income.
You might start making a small amount of money in a
few weeks or months, then you might not make any for
a few months. You must not let yourself give up, when
business is not all it's cracked up to be! You must
have Perseverance!
**Passion - When you are choosing your business,
build your business around something that interests
you, something that you are passionate about. This
will help you keep going when things get tough.
Will I want to work with this business everyday?
Does this business interest me enough to keep my
determination going?
Will my passion override any doubts that I will have
about becoming successful?
Ask yourself these questions and see what the answers
are. You cannot build a successful business around
something you have no passion or knowledge about. If
you are nuts about horses, build your business around
horses, not cats! You must have Passion!
**People - When you are working an online business,
you have to get involved with people. It may not be
face to face, but you will have to deal with people
from all over the world, everyday. Treat everyone
with respect and answer all questions in a timely
and courteous manner. You must also be able to deal
with rude people. Treat these people with respect
also. Be firm, but courteous. Rarely have I had
to deal with this problem, but it does come up.
Do I want to have to deal with all those people on
a day-to-day basis?
Can I handle all the different situations that can
arise when dealing with people?
Can I accept the fact that I cannot please everyone
and be able to handle the rejection?
You do not necessarily have to be "the life of the
party" but you must be able to handle the problems
that working with all kinds of people can bring.
You must be able to deal with people!
I must tell you that I have made so many friends
since starting Web Success. It is one of the
most enjoyable aspects of Internet marketing.
Web Success is the second business that I started
on the Internet. With the first business, I did
not take the three P's into consideration and it
failed within a year.
When I planned out Web Success, I really thought
about what I wanted to do and how I wanted to do it.
Because of that planning I have learned a few things
about myself.
I have learned that I have more perseverance than I
thought possible.
I have learned that I have a passion for helping
people get started with their business and that
I am good at it.
I have learned that working with people all over the
world has been a thoroughly enjoyable, rewarding and
interesting experience.
