Why Can’t Most People Build Their Business?

There is nothing more frustrating than wanting to build a business but getting nowhere. It seems like your dreams are rapidly fading before your very eyes. We know that building a business is challenging. However, we didn’t think it was this hard.

People have a hard time building their business for several reasons. I will go over some of the reasons that I have experienced. Building a business can seem like a daunting task. Friends and family offering ridicule etc.

So here are some of the reasons why people are having a hard time building their business:

No daily routine or lack of daily activity.

If you want to succeed in business, you need a plan of action. At the end of the day, how many people did you talk to, mail samples/business info to? How many calls did you make? How many samples did you give out? If you are not moving forward in your business, you are moving backwards by default.

Afraid to talk to strangers.

When we were young, we were told not to talk to strangers. It is no wonder why, as adults, we don’t like to talk to strangers! There are times when we just don’t want to talk to anyone, but big money is made dealing with people you don’t know. Of course, only talking to friends and family will cause you to have a hard time in business. There are hundreds, even thousands of people who possibly want what you have to offer. But you gotta talk to them.

Unable to offer samples of the company product.

One thing people love is the word free. People love trying new products for free. Unfortunately, many companies do not offer a free service or product that consumers can try before buying. This is not to say that you can’t do well if you don’t provide samples. If you have a product that’s in big demand and you can offer as a sample such as this product, you will really do well faster depending on your work ethic etc.

No self-belief or confidence.

Network marketing is a simple business. It’s not easy, but it’s simple. If you are going to have even a little bit of success, you must believe you can have it. The problem is most home business owners do not think so which is why their actions are a result of what they believe. You can read all of the books on confidence and belief, but the only way to gain confidence and dedication is to do that which you fear period.

5 Essential Techniques For Success In Business

Think they have to know it all.

Yet another reason why most people have a hard time building their business is because they think they need to know it all. Every company has a presentation, be it an online video or DVD that you can use to educate a prospective candidate. You never need to know everything. Utilize tools to answer your prospects questions.

No money to invest in own business and oneself.

In business, you need to invest and re-invest in your business. There is really no such thing as something for nothing, especially when you are thinking long term. It amazes me how so many people are looking for deals that require no initial investment on their part. You cannot have success with a real business unless you are willing to pay the price. The same goes for oneself. You should be reading books that motivate, educate and inspire you. Most companies offer a recommended reading list. The list is compiled with books that have influenced millions of men and women. You should be reading something regularly regarding business and personal development.

In conclusion, these are some of the reasons why most people have a hard time building their business. If you treat your business like a hobby, it will pay you like a hobby. We have a hard time because we make it hard. A few simple disciplines will go a long way.
