Help??

Lisa,

Your inability to remain focused (almost certainly the reason you're not making much headway) is probably a culmination of three things.

- General impatience: "I want/need it now, and I'm prepared to jump ship to pursue something that looks superficially more appealing and more guaranteed." People are often impatient anyway, but it seems something of an epidemic where online business goes because of the profileration of "instant/overnight success" stories that lead people to believe the myth that building an online business is necessarily much easier, much quicker, and much more guaranteeing of a positive outcome than building one offline, for anyone who gets involved. Not so.

- Lack of plan/clarity: This is pretty self-explanatory. Most people who become successful have followed a plan of/in some form or another. Not always a written one. They don't become successful by stumbling from crisis to crisis, "testing the waters" or "doing just a bit of this and that". Doing that may teach them what can't/won't work and give them a better idea of (or belief in) what's viable and where their strengths lie, but only when they've finally made a plan, and work toward it confidently and consistently, do they see real results ... in most cases.

- Lack of certainty / self-confidence problems: When you're new and have no idea how anything works - or indeed what works - it's common to be running round like a headless chicken in an attempt to find your footing. This isn't necessarily a bad thing: for some people it's the only way they'll learn. But there comes a time, eventually, when you reach a point where you should feel confident of a business model's viability and just make the conscious decision to stick to it. It can be hard, because as much as you know (or feel you know), there are still no guarantees. But hey, guess what? There are rarely any guarantees of anything in life. There's no guarantee that when you drive your car, you won't end up in a head-on collision that paralyzes or kills you. There's no guarantee that when you marry, it'll last forever 'as it's really supposed to'. There's no guarantee that pregnancy won't result in a heart-breaking miscarriage. There's no guarantee that by experimenting in the kitchen, you won't make a total hash and waste all your ingredients. There's no guarantee that you'll get top marks or even pass any examination you ever take in life. There's no guarantee you won't get fired from your job tomorrow. There are hardly any guarantees - period. But that shouldn't stop you from trying. Indeed, the surest guarantee is that if you don't try, you don't know. If you don't attempt, you don't succeed. How long can you put things off before realising that if you're waiting for all risk/uncertainty to be magically eliminated from the equation, you'll literally be waiting until you die?

Good luck.
