What are your biggest struggles?

21 replies
Hey fellow warriors,

Long time turker here, this is my first post and I've got some questions for you guys:

1) What are your biggest struggles/challenges in your (online) business?
2) What frustrates you?
3) What are your fears?

It also works for struggles you've had in the past and managed to overcome.

I'd like to understand better where most people struggle, what keeps them away from achieving their goals.

I'm pretty sure there are patterns at different levels, let's see what the answers are.

    I don't have these problems, but I can tell you from 14 years of experience it is not usually one thing for people having troubles.. It is more a lack of Internet marketing skills in general and that encompasses a lot.

    I'd have to say my biggest struggle is being around people who do not take their goals and desires serious enough and do not take themselves serious enough. And always view themselves as the victim

    I struggle to tolerant that nonsense

    My biggest struggle is staying focused even though I've gotten better over the years. Ignorant people frustrate me to no end. My biggest fear is boredom.

    I thought of one.....getting up in the middle of the night more than once to go to the bathroom. Not really an Internet marketing struggle, but a big one nonetheless I'll bet for many members here.

    Biggest struggles for the newer or even the experienced internet marketer:

    1. Not having the right mentor who really cares about their success.
    2. Not knowing where to market.
    3. Not having enough funds per month to explode their business.

    My biggest struggle?

    Figuring out why I should give a straight answer to an anonymous stranger who asks the same question as a bunch of other anonymous strangers every week, yet somehow expects to get different answers.

    As you can see, I'm still working on that one.

    1. Biggest challenges/struggles is to find a highly profitable niche. When it comes to web development, my biggest struggle is to find clients that needs my services. 2. My frustration is when I done so many mistakes in the past and wanted it to correct now. 3. Being the biggest loser is my fear.

    Juggling time.... not really a money making issue, just I would like to wake up earlier everyday to enjoy more of my day.

    People refunding for stupid reasons. Dealing with business owners who argue with my methods - even though I'm successful and they're the one's who are broke.

    I might marry a woman... then she takes half of my stuff. All this stuff that I've worked hard for (literal blood, sweat, and tears... and vomit) - and she has no idea of the plight. She just takes half and bounces.

    I think the biggest problem is information overload. Even if you know the basic's there is always something new to learn. That is where focus comes in. Also, when starting out you want the 4 hour week, but you need to put in the initial hours to get there. It's a business it takes time.

    Another one is the money to start, as businesses set up go it is cheap but you still need funds to invest in.

    My biggest struggle is not having enough financial source.

    Not having support from the people I am expecting to be always at my back.

    My biggest struggle has been myself.

    I have the irrational fear of trying new things and then when I do try something and it works I fail to expand upon it, for whatever reason.

    Time management and productivity, for sure.

    If I don't watch myself, it's easy to spend all day doing things that feel productive but really aren't.

    If I'm not creating new content, reaching out for links, or directly improving user experience, I'm wasting my time.

    Reading blogs and posting on forums can be useful, but it's not directly productive work.

    I've overcome this somewhat by scheduling my weeks. Monday mornings are spent planning my week. By doing this, I can assign myself deadlines for sub-tasks and really make sure I'm pushing out the most I can.

    Still, it's hard not to drift off or to think I need to do more research. Learning to trust the decisions I made on Monday has been a big struggle, but I'm improving little-by-little.
