How To Succeed

I can go on all day long about how great the internet and having your own online business is, but there is one part of it that just flat out sucks big time. What? Not knowing if what you're doing is working.

Here's what I mean . . . You can go out and do pay per click marketing and be getting 100 clicks and 50 leads a day and still be depressed if you don't know those are kick butt results. Often times I'll have a person describe for me their situation, and they'll describe it as if something is wrong, but . . . When I hear the numbers they convey to me, they're actually right on track but don't even know it.

I go through this too. Sometime I'll try something new that there is no guide book to and get results but not know how to interpret them because I have nothing to compare them against. This is the part experience plays in your business. You could be doing everything right, right now, but think you're not just because no one ever told you were. It's hard to find a good coach who's been through all this prior, and that's why they don't come cheap (at least they never have for me.)

So when looking for a sponsor ask them direct and pointed questions before joining like"What are you doing in your marketing?" or"Can you give me some of your marketing statistics" and if they don't have a real answer for you or can't pull some up find someone else to work with. If you don't know what's working and neither do they that's what I call the definition of home business insanity.

If you don't have to go through this confusion - don't. Find a good sponsor that has the right information, can set the right expectations, and you'll be golden.

And when the tables are reversed and you're in the position of leadership make sure you do the same. You'll save a lot of people a ton of unneeded heartache and frustration and your business will flourish for it.
