My Biggest Business Mistake
Posted 5th May 2013 at 01:18 PM by Jeremy Barker
The biggest mistake that I have ever made in my business is summed up in one word: “Consistency.”
When starting my business it took me “x” amount of time to start getting results. This was partly because of my lack of presence and branding online and my lack of knowledge. Through a lot of learning and reading and practicing what I was learning, the results started coming in. I was ecstatic as my results started yielding profits and relationships. I kept this up for a good amount of time and then had some unexpected life happenings and when this happened my consistency in my business and the actions that I had been taking on a daily basis dropped off to a certain extent. Everyone has problems and issues that arise throughout life. The main point is how you deal with them. I honestly let these life issues get me to the point where I found myself not being consistent in my business. The results dropped off tremendously and I almost came to a standstill. You see, I was not established well enough to put my business on auto-pilot even for a few weeks. I needed to stay in the saddle and continue pounding at my business day in and day out to build the foundation for what I had going on. I learned a lot through this and have made it a point to stay consistent in my business no matter what comes my way. That is a true key to success. You don’t have to be the best at what you do but you must stay consistent and take action everyday in setting a solid foundation and building upon this foundation. I have sense prospered and maintained this success as I have created a “habit” of being consistent and that is the biggest mistake that I have made in my business.
