THE THREE P'S OF
SUCCESS
Terri Seymour
Starting and building an
Internet business is not an easy task. There is the never-ending
learning about promotion and marketing, website design, building
and HTML, CGI, java, technical problems; 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?
Despite all the "get
rich quick" ads you see, it 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! You must have Perseverance!
Passion
When you are choosing your
business, choose and build 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?
You cannot build a successful
business around something with which you have no passion or knowledge.
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 rude people with just
as much respect. Be firm, but courteous.
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 people can bring.
