I spend so much time not trusting myself, and researching and researching and not doing enough action. Its very frustrating.

Good Stuff But where do I find good content to use to get subscribers not only to opt in but also buy? This is a lot who can I just pay a couple dollars to do it for me?

Great Post Derek – most businesses can learn from this

The reason most businesses fail is that they forget to innovate and get struck to the old business formula. Where as what people need to do is reinvent their business at regular intervals.

Derek,

The article is a offers a “reality check” for people like us who had just started out a small, barbeque business.

My wife had trouble focusing on what she has control over since a competition spouted near where we conduct our operation. So this will be of great help.

Thanks a lot!

It was good to read that what you don’t need or can’t control. I am sure that I keep this in mind in case I start a company. Suprising for me was the Facebook thing, when you think you do something that is good for the business but it goes the opposite direction.

Lately I’ve been spending too much time on busy work, like organizing files on my laptop or surfing on Facebook (when I should be adding value there!) instead of focusing on the big money tasks like networking and content creation.

We are constantly getting in our own way, letting resistance creep in and dictate what we should be doing INSTEAD of the 2 things you mentioned here that always get results. Such a great reminder, Derek, thank you! I’m about to copy and paste this link to share with a client of mine who I was talking to about this exact topic today!

Thanks Scott. I actually do get the point. All of us are here for different businesses. I am a web designer/front-end developer. My main thing would be to be able to hire people to do some simple stuff like basic site editing, admin stuff, etc. I have just “hired” a contract employee to do the basic editing stuff. But beyond that I don’t have the funds to hire others for “almost anything” else. That hiring was my ONE thing to do that would make a big change for my business. It’s the first time I’ve ever hired anyone (other than just for specific projects).

I spend too much trying trying to design my website, then breaking it, then trying to fix it, leads to php and then its been a week of nothing. I need to spend less time reading books and articles since I know all that i can from them and need to just write the dam copy and get the last few steps done required for customers to buy from me.
