We spend so much time trying to get the business up and running that we may end up becoming burned out and lose our motivation. There is so much to learn and
Today we live in a world of speed. Technological advancements havemade obtaining what we want as simple as pushing a button.We don't have to wait long to eat - just pop the food into themicrowave and click start. In minutes we have a full meal.We don't have to wait weeks for communication back and forth - justtype and click the send button in e-mail. In seconds, information issent and received.Because of this "instant" mentality we have grown accustomed to, we asa society have come to believe that if we can't get what we want in amatter of minutes, it's not worth having. Waiting is becoming a thingof the past.I have found this to be especially true when it comes to internetbusinesses. Because everything is available at the click of a mouse,slowly growing an internet business never enters our minds. We try tofind the quickest and easiest route to the automatic $5,000 per monthpromised to us at every turn.Without careful thought, we plunge into several affiliate programs(sometimes unrelated to each other), throw up some free websites, blastour "open for business" announcement to 4,000,000 people, and then sitback waiting for all 4,000,000 to beat a path to our electronicdoorway.We watch the calendar, and when, in 7 days, we haven't made our $1,500or we run into technological difficulties, we throw up our hands indisgust, claiming that the entire internet is a hoax, and walk away.Let's pause for a moment and take a look at the weed and the oak. Johnand Jim are young, newly married, and have just moved in next door toeach other. Both yards need work in order to gain the "GoodHousekeeping Seal of Approval." John runs out to the local nursery, buys a bunch of seeds, never reallypaying attention to the type of seeds or to their care requirements. He goes home, spreads his seeds all over his yard, and then sits backwaiting for the lush, beautiful lawn. It isn't long before his yard iscovered with weeds. The weeds quickly spring up and then die under theheat of the sun. His yard is full of dirt holes.Jim, on the other hands, talks to several landscaping experts. Hedraws out on paper what he wants his yard to look like, carefullygrouping plants to give year-round beauty. He goes to a couple ofdifferent nurseries and purchases the best plants and lawn careproducts. He buys an oak tree for his back yard. He plants hispurchases and follows the directions and advice he has been given tocare for his lawn. He works on it a little bit every day, and slowlybuilds it to a prize-winning yard.Year after year, John has an ugly lawn because he doesn't want to putin the time and effort it takes to build a well-kept yard. Thirty years later, Jim's yard is still the best looking yard on theblock, and his grandkids are building a tree house in the oak tree inthe back yard.What kind of a business are you building? Are you looking for the fastbuck? Are you joining everything and anything you can without anycareful planning as to how it all fits together? Are you sitting backjust waiting for everyone to come, buy your products, and make you amillionaire without any effort on your part?If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then all you're goingto get is a yard full of ugly weeds and dirt holes.Take some time and put together a business plan. Figure out where youwant to be in 30 years. Talk to experts to find out what works andwhat doesn't. Work a little bit every day taking care of yourbusiness.If you do these things, your business may grow slowly, but it will growsolidly. Your business will be able to withstand the storms that comealong. And in 30 years, you and your family will still be enjoyingwhat you've built.
