Are You A Business Owner, OR Are You Just Chasing Fairies?

I think this is the case.

I wrote a thread about people trying to drive the car without an engine because I don't see anything about proper business talk in the forum.

It's all about chasing fairies like you say.

I guess that's what happens when you can just grab a link from somewhere like Clickbank and "theoretically" make money straight away.

I'm assuming most of these people are teenagers.

"Get back here and give me money!"

Great point!

Many people are setting the wrong kind of targets for their businesses, and so their potential success is limited.

Good you have started this thread - now you can save a lot of time copy pasting instead of rewriting everything.

This is a FAQ for newbies

As usual Bill, great post

I try and make a habit of reviewing what I have done in my business on a weekly basis. Did the activities I do that week help or hinder my end goal of building a sustainable business?

Too often the answer is 'hinder' because I get sidetracked by the detail instead of focussing on the bigger picture. Hopefully in a year's time I will be better at it

Yes, these are the newbie stuffs. Noobs asks these kinds of questions and buy as such products.

Everyone in this world need easy money. which is not possible in real. Who ever you are a business owner or something else don't think that Ginny will come and move its stick and your PayPal will be full of $$$. Stop thinking cock and bull stories. Just start working in the right path that will drag you to the $$$.

Well... wish to be a business owner but I feel that many people on this forum are dreams sellers throwing fairies dust

A Men Brother Ben. Great post even though your name isn't really Ben

I think this is rooted from the fact that in order for people to sell their products, they must oversell the need in order for clients to become hungry for more. Take a look at the usual sales letters and you'll see that common pattern.

I own a fairy chasing business..... does that count?

typical smug I've made it thread in my opinion

LOL.. Yea I've fallen for one of those "fairy" products on clickbank.. Logically it works but not like it said in the video..

The things that will always work across all niches & businesses is:

-Education (trial & error is a great teacher)
-Hard work
-Testing
-A bad memory (forget the failures)
-DEDICATION
-Focus

Great post my man..

Most people focus on being self employed rather than an entrepreneur or a real business owner. This alone is what I think separates "the worker" from "the business man."

A plumber I know touts "I'm a real entrepreneur" all of the time to the point its annoying. His statements are usually are directed towards me in a smug way because I employ people and he feels that because he doesn't, his business is more efficient and more profitable because it has less overhead. However, I can walk away from my business for weeks at a time and it will still run and I will still make money. As proof of my opinions, when he was sick during a cancer scare for two months, he had to struggle for months to make up for his loss of income.

This relates to people online as well who do not actually run a business but instead try to accomplish a task in hopes it will relate to bring in money down the road.
