Learn how to run a business FIRST?

Ok boys and girls, I think it's high time for some clarity... It seems that a lot of people fail to see the bigger picture when it comes to making money and running a business.

In this forum we talk about MAKING MONEY - in order to make money we must either:

a) provide a service
b) provide a product

What we must NOT do, is flit from "scheme to scheme" hoping to hit a home run...

Schemes and tactics are "additional means" with which to grow your business - if ALL you have is a "scheme" or a "tactic", you don't have a business...

While we might get lucky and make a small amount of money in the short term - the money will be spent, and the wolves will still be at the door.

It is true, that a house built upon poor foundations will most likely fall down. While the same house built upon solid foundations will invariably stand for hundreds of years.

If you're making less than you hoped to be making - when you jumped in 'feet first' into internet marketing - here's my advice.

Find a good book or course on setting up and running a business (including business planning). And I'm not talking about an ebook. I'm talking about getting a hard copy from Amazon or your local bookstore.

While you're at it, get hold of "The Richest Man in Babylon" - that book caused a paradigm shift in my thinking about money, the accumulation of it and also the way in which I handle it.
