Today I like to ask you a question that is very important if you care for your business future: “have you ever tried to run your own business it doesn’t matter if online or offline”? What is or was your result? Have you made any money out of it? If not, are you consistent enough to keep going with your business or you are a character who give up easily? Are you very easy to persuade about making money fast on the internet? If so have you ever seen an offline business which grows fast?
If you brainwash yourself you will notice that there is no concept of growing fast or within a few weeks to make a ton of money… Unless…
Imagine what is the easiest way to spread out the words to as many people as possible to know of your existence...?that’s right through business cards or pamphlets, you distribute to as many locations in your town with the consent of the owner of course and you tell them what are you offer or sell.
A few business cards are very inexpensive to make and put all the information on it with your phone no. and street address and so on. You can also go to book libraries and ask the administrator if he allows you to stick a pamphlet at the entrance or where ever it gets the most attention for visitors.
You also might go to expositions or shows and distribute your cards to as many people as possible asking them before, if they have an interest in what you are selling or offering if it is a service or something else, and then you hand them your business card.
Okay, it still might not deliver money right away to your door, but you have made a start at least you are a lot better than other people who start a business and do nothing, don’t move a finger they just relax and think the money will come all by itself…dead wrong, a business doesn’t work like that. You know from NOTHING comes nothing. You have to work at the beginning like hell more than you were working as an employee I can guarantee you that.
There is a famous quote by media mogul, Ted Turner: “Early to bed, early to rise… Work like Hell, and Advertise.”
I think this gives you a little bit of imagination about starting a business. Don’t believe al those lies which are everywhere… there is no way to get fast money without doing nothing…there isn’t. Don’t believe that crap out there, they spread the words of earning easy money to get rich by them, but understand that you won’t get rich with that concept. Get that in your head… You have to work.
You know as a child I had the imagination that in a country with nice climate, warm temperature and the whole year sunshine and rain, like in Mexico, you only stretch your hands out and pick up a fruit and that’s it and the population have not to work they have all year around everything without doing nothing. But later on when growing up I saw what a hell of work has to be done to harvest all the fruits and vegetables and so on and sell them as fast as possible that the product does not putrefy.
Yeah, life is not that easy and you should have noticed it yet by now. You have to work and you have to advertise. The same would be you walk in your local streets and see a business where you see nothing, no sign, no merchandize, no words of what they are selling or offering, do you think they will sell? You know there is a saying: “A Business without a sign is a sign of no Business.” I tell you this is dead true.
To your online success,
Talk to you soon
