Insight: Failure
and Success In Online Business
Article :
Insight: Failure and Success In
Online Business
by Jack Humphrey
http://power-linking-profits.com
Creativity
and Determination are the KEY ingredients in all online
success stories. So many times, as a moderator and
participant in the net's most active and lauded online
marketing forum, The Internet Marketing Warriors, I have
heard the same questions repeated by hopeful marketer
after hopeful marketer. And mostly they begin with "How
do I...?"
Similar questions, in a dead-heat in frequency, vary
around a theme such as "What tool should I use to...?"
Know-how and tools. Go to any forum on the net, on
almost any subject, and you will find hundreds or even
thousands of people exchanging information on know-how
and tools. "What is the best way to write copy?" "Which
autoresponder script is best for my business?" "What
hosting is the best for me?"
Very infrequently will you come upon a marketing
discussion that talks about creativity and
determination. Even more rare is a successful product
that shows people HOW to be creative and determined.
This is because tools and know-how are so much easier to
write about.
If this, then that. Such a small phrase, yet it is the
bulk of what internet marketing training is all about if
you have read even a small pile of ebooks geared toward
making you a better sales producer.
And the formula sells - bigtime.
But then, why are there so many people failing at
marketing their business online? What is IT that
separates the masses from the relatively few truly
successful online small businesses?
It is this: You cannot teach people creativity very
easily. Some would say it's impossible. Art classes are
simply tools to weed out people that don't have IT so
they can get busy pursuing another line of work!
And it is this: Determination (including work ethic,
stick-to-it-ivenss, seeing something through to the end)
is even harder to simply instill in a person with the
written word or teleseminar. You cannot reach through
your ebook to slap someone everyday to recapture their
focus for them and keep them on-task.
The problem is compounded when you have one of the above
and not the other. Creative people very often have no
business sense or the drive necessary to acquire it.
Determined people fail gloriously in a gallon of sweat
at five in the morning without creativity. Nothing is
probably more disheartening than having one or the
other. It must be like being able to see over the fence,
but not have what it takes to climb to the other side.
Tools are tools. We must use them in any profession to
the best of our ability. Henry Ford used tools to create
Model Ts. But did you ever read a story proclaiming that
Ford won the day with his tools? Of course not. The
stories are about determination and creativity and
that's it.
You can go out right now and get the best software, the
most expensive copywriter, the best programmer, and even
the best product since sliced bread. And you can fail.
It's been done more times than success by a long margin
throughout history.
This article is not about how to succeed at internet
marketing. It is not about tools that will help get you
over the fence where the grass is greener.
This article is an observation. An observation that is
seeded with clues that only creative and determined
people will pick up on. And, despite all the success
manuals and training you may have spent hard earned
money on, this article contains the answer to why many
people fail and some succeed at not only internet
marketing, but in anything in life.
Creativity in internet marketing is being able to think
beyond what others have accomplished to date. It's being
able to take the pulse of the internet and the human
condition and react by putting something together that
is needed and desired.
Determination is being able to go out on a limb and work
until you succeed despite obstacles and naysayers. It is
fueled by belief in yourself and your creative ideas.
Do you have these two key ingredients? Can you see what
is possible that thousands of other great minds have
overlooked? If so, can you then take that vision and
turn it into reality with dogged determination and
perhaps the hardest work you have ever done in your
life?
If you have "it," then you can go learn about our trade
from the technical (tools) standpoint and you can use
them to succeed with your creativity and determination.
The tools are worthless by themselves.
I hope one day to see a lot more questions about the
creative process as it relates to business and success
in forums in the future. I want to see questions (and
honest answers!) about how much work it takes to create
a profitable business online. Then I will know that a
lot more people are on track and are asking the RIGHT
questions. Most of all, I hope to see more training
materials from experts that deal with not only what
tools and systems to use, but with topics on how to
think freely, on your own, about how you could make
something better or make something new out of the
situation at hand.
Finally, when you hear that this business is not for
everyone, it means quite specifically that this business
is not for people who cannot think outside the norm and
work long hours. That's why businesses that people try
to sell you that "do all the work so you don't even have
to think" are so absurd.
No one has ever succeeded at anything without creativity
and determination. Unless they have entered a couch
potato contest. But even then the most successful people
are going to be the ones who think creatively about how
to sit on that couch longer than anyone else and watch
more TV than was formerly thought humanly possible.
Here is an example using the above: 99% of the people
who set out to be the #1 Couch Potato will simply start
out by sitting in front of the TV for as long as they
can. They think, "I will just out-potato everyone else
by doing it 24/7."
And they will all fail. Because one person is going to
think creatively and freely. They are going to buy 5 TVs
and plug them all in in front of the couch. They are
going to out-potato everyone else by being able to
compound the amount of TV they can watch by 5 times the
amount of everyone else while doing no more work than
the other 99%. Through creativity and determination, the
person who wins at anything is going to find ways to
succeed that most people never would have thought of.
In the end, if you want to succeed online, you must ask
yourself: Do I REALLY have the creativity and
determination to turn my current situation into a better
one through an online business? Don't worry about tools
and know-how. Those can be learned and used by anyone.
But there is no need to commit yourself to a big
learning curve if you don't have what it really takes to
succeed in the end.
