What are the biggest challenges faced by digital entrepreneurs?

by Bogdan Ivanov
10 replies
Or another way of asking this question would be what kind of challenges are you personally facing on a daily basis? I think it's save to assume that we all are more or less digital entrepreneurs in this forum.

My current challenges are:
1) Procrastination
2) Daily exercise
3) Creating free offer for building a list

Looking forward to your answer.

    My biggest problem at the moment is probably procrastination.. Sometimes I'll just take a short break for no reason... just because I feel like it. But then short 5 minute break suddenly turns into an hour. And that's costing me, because that's time I should be spending growing my online business.

    And, linked to procrastination is sticking to the task until it's completed.

    Here's an example of what I mean: let's say you're writing a blog post. But you need to confirm something, so you Google it. You find a post that catches your eye... so you read it. It's unrelated to what you want, but it's interesting so you read it anyway. Then you read another post. Still unrelated. And another... 30 minutes later and you've completely forgotten about your blog post.

      Thanks john01a for your reply. I definitely experience the same problem at my stage.

    My biggest challenge is time. I work full time and have a house to keep outside of that. I try and dedicate at least an hour in the evenings on week days and then several hours a day at the weekend. Sometimes this isn't always possible. My aim is to keep doing this until I am bringing in enough money to drop a day at work and then I can start to really scale things up!

    Mine is technology. I love to write, but the process of setting up a website or a blog is stressful.

    My biggest challenges are procrastination, time management lack of focus and motivation.

    I can't manage my time efficiently. I easily lost my concentration on what I'm doing. I don't have enough motivation to do it.

    That is why I ended up with procrastination.

    Not getting burnt out! I focus and work hard all week and by Thursday I get that burned out feeling at first, but then after a workout and some coffee I'm ready to roll again.

    I just get back to thinking of why I do what I do and it helps me to keep moving forward.

    Time is my biggest factor. I am a full-time student and I travel quite far in, I have an 18-month-old son, building a business and handling miscellaneous issues.

    Not to mention that I'm always trying to learn the next thing to implement and get things moving.

    Nice question ! Thanks.
    For me, it's to find the answers at questions that no one have found again, to find the good resources and to improve my organisation ;-)
