The Number One Reason Why Most Online Ventures Fail

Views: 2

I said in the blog title that this would be about why most online businesses fail.  Well, that’s partially true.  Most online businesses never actually become businesses at all.  Most people only think and dream and wonder and research and procrastinate.  They never do anything to get started.

If you’re someone who fits that description you probably have not registered for The Click Funnels live events.  So, this blog post isn’t really for you.

If you have registered and are planning on coming, then this message is for you.  I want to encourage you to follow through and actually show up for the event.  This might sound strange to you: “of course I’m going to show up, I registered, didn’t I?”  The problem is that nearly 60% of the people who register for these free, live events, don’t show up.

This brings me to the number one reason why online businesses fail.  Failure to show up and failure to follow through.  Most people simply don’t have the persistence, drive and follow-through to make it all the way to their goals.  Minor setbacks shut them down completely.  Silly distractions derail them.  The “tyranny of the trivial” knocks them off course.  “Oh, I meant to do that but then…something…came up.”It’s the reason most people work at a job they hate for less money than they could be making because they don’t have what it takes to follow through and carve out a better way.  The Click Funnels team will be showing you a better way.  In fact, they’ll be showing you the only formula for making money online that actually works.  So, I highly encourage you to follow through, register and be there.

What’s Your Business Really Worth?

Views: 3

Maybe you’ve read the 4-Hour Work Week by Timothy Ferris, or maybe you’ve heard time management gurus talk about working the “80/20” way in order to work less and play more.  If you’ve been clicking on the links I’ve been sending you, you’ve probably seen Russel Brunson talking about how you need to outsource and delegate as much as you can to not only to free up your time but to make the kind of money you want to make.

If you’re working 8 hours a day on what someone else could do for $3 per hour, you’re never going to be free.  It’s just simple math.  Maybe you’ve read and seen all this work-less-make-more stuff and still think: “It sounds like laziness.  I like knowing that I put in a good 8 hours of work…or more…everyday.”

Here’s another way to think about the whole work 4 hours per week concept: How valuable is your business if you have to work in it 8 hours per day?  Most online entrepreneurs never think of their business in these terms but owners and CEOs of real businesses think about this all the time.  They know that if their business requires them to be in it all the time, 8 hours or more per day, then their business really isn’t worth anything without them.  It’s not worth anything to someone looking to buy a business.  It’s not worth anything to their children or heirs.
This is why Russel Brunson designed Click Funnels to be a business you do not have to work 8 hours a day in.  You really can make $1000 or $3000 or $5000 commissions monthly working just an hour or two each day.
If your online business requires you to be slaving away 8 hours a day, what’s it really worth?

How To Reinvent The Wheel and Waste All Your Time?

Views: 3

I’ve heard from a very wise man, Perry Marshall, who said that he felt like: “All the marketing problems have been solved…All the manufacturing problems have been solved…All the day to day tasks can be outsourced for $3 per hour…Almost any knowledge job can be done by an iPad.”

That blew me away.  What he was trying to say is that if you’re spending a lot of time trying to discover solutions to problems in those areas, you’re wasting your time.  You’re trying to solve problems that have already been solved.
So, what does this mean for your online business?  Well, think about any solutions that you’re trying to solve that already have a solution like:
  • Are you trying to solve manufacturing problems?
  • Product creation problems?
  • Conversion problems?
  • Shipping and delivery problems?

If you are, then you’re working on problems that have already been solved by Click Funnels  including:

  • They’ve created high-ticket products
  • Their offer converts at a high rate
  • You don’t have to worry about shipping, delivering or manufacturing anything

You just need to get traffic to that offer.  Click Funnels will even help you to do that.  You never have pick up the phone and you can earn $1000 – $4000 monthly commissions.

If you’re working on problems that already have a solution then,

A Strange Business Lesson From Mark Zuckerberg

Views: 2

You know who Mark Zuckerberg is, right?  He’s the guy who created Face book and he’s one of the richest guys in America.  Have you ever noticed what this uber-wealthy guy wears?  A grey t-shirt.  Every single day.  You noticed that right?  Kinda weird, wouldn’t you say?

Recently Mr Face book was asked about his lack of fashion sense and gave a pretty insightful answer: “I really want to clear my life so that I have to make as few decisions as possible about anything except how to better serve this community”.  He believes that research backs up his lack of fashion choices: “There’s actually a bunch of psychology theory that even making small decisions around what you wear or what you eat for breakfast or things like, kind of make you tired and consume your energy”.

So, what does this have to do with your online business?  Well, maybe deciding what you wear each morning doesn’t consume much of your energy, but what does?  What are the little and big decisions you make every day that you could eliminate and become more focused, productive and successful?

Click Funnels allows you to put the “Zuckerberg Method” to use in your business.  You don’t need to make decisions about:

  • Website design
  • Product creation
  • Phone sales
  • Customer support
  • Administration
  • Shipping
  • Warehousing

Just follow the simple.  It couldn’t be any simpler.  Why deplete your energy reserves making thousands of business decisions every day when you could plug into a system that has already made 90% of them for you.

Zuckerberg it.

How The Gurus Make Money On Your Shelf Help Addiction?

Views: 2

Do you know the big reason that the self help industry makes so much money?

  • According to Wikipedia, it’s an $11 billion industry
  • Approximately 2000 self help books are released each year
  • Then there are TV shows, YouTube videos, Seminars and Books on tape

So, how does this industry make so much money?  It’s mainly because self help books don’t work.  That may seem counter intuitive but stick with me.  People mistake reading for action.  They mistake reading for actual improvement.  Our brains get a little squirt of happy juice when we buy a book.  Then our brains get a bigger squirt when we read the book.  Then another squirt when we proudly display that book on our shelf or coffee table.  We kid ourselves that reading a book or even just buying a book is the same as doing something about the problem.  Of course, it’s not.  It’s just “shelf help”.  Books don’t work.  Only you can take action.

I’ve seen it happen in my own life.  I’ve seen it happen to friends.  I’ve seen it happen with people trying to start an online business.  They read books, watch videos or go to seminars.  Then they do nothing.  There’s even hard evidence that reading a book doesn’t work.  The purchaser of the self help book has quite likely purchased another book on the same topic in the last 18 months according to brainblogger.com, These are the Shelf Help Junkies.

The Internet Marketing world is full of them.  The gurus feed their addiction with more books, videos and seminars that also don’t work.  So, they need more books, videos and seminars.  On and on it goes.

So, what does all this have to do with your online business?  Rather than just selling you a book that you can read and display on your shelf, Click Funnels gives you simple, daily actions that will steadily and surely move you toward making $1000 – $4000 monthly commissions.

Action is built into the Click Funnels System.  Now, that probably means that Click Funnels won’t sell as many programs as some of our competitors because “action” sounds too much like “work” to some people.  Reading is easy as you can read in bed or on your couch.  Reading requires no work but reading doesn’t work.

The choice is yours.  You can either read a book, watch videos or go to another free seminar and pretend you’re taking action or you can take the simple step-by-step actions that will move you towards your money-making goals.  Never mistake reading for action.
