Malcolm S. Forbes spoke directly to the entrepreneurial heart when he stated, “The biggest mistake people make in life is not
making a living at doing what they most enjoy.” A passionate commitment to pursue one’s interests builds the foundation of so many small businesses. No matter how resolute business owners are in achieving success, Forbes and many entrepreneurs have failed to realize that passion alone will not produce a thriving company. Many have turned to the Internet and e-businesses as their first step towards independence.
The Internet has matured since the 1990’s. It has grown and evolved into a mecca of self-employment possibilities for anyone willing to add a little elbow grease. Along with all the positives of this new Internet era came a boat load of new business hopefuls. These newcomers wanted the opportunity to follow their passion with minimal financial risk. The downfall of most e-business entrepreneurs is, without a shadow of doubt, the infamous GRQ- Get Rich Quick scam.

The Worst Small Business Financing Strategy Ever? Depending on whose stats you pay attention to, approximately 80% of small businesses fail within their first 5 years of operation. In many cases, its not that a particular business could not succeed; there just wasn't sufficient time to figure out how to succeed. |
Successful e-business owners quickly realized that buying a domain and seasoning it with flashy banners and products did not guarantee anything except the likelihood of failure. These business leaders learned that to build a solid e-business, they would need the support of a company that could understand their fragile positions. They needed a company that would provide all the necessary technical tools for Internet success, but without all the technical headaches.
“I never would have believed that I could create the Internet business that I did. I wake up every morning and pinch myself. I pursued my passions and was rewarded with more than money,” states Lynn VanDyke, owner of strength-training-woman.com.
“I knew everything there was to know about my industry, but I was absolutely clueless about technology and building a net-business. I researched for years and finally decided to take the plunge with a company I felt could support my technical lack-of-experience.”
VanDyke found the same secret sauce of self-employment that so many others had discovered. It is renowned for its tagline- “e-commerce for the rest of us.”

| MoneyMoz recommended article: Is Six Sigma Right For Your Company? HERE ARE SOME KEY CRITERIA TO CONSIDER: WHAT IS YOUR OBJECTIVE?Do you have specific difficult quality issues that must be resolved? Do you have a pressing need for general overall company operating improvements? Or, are you just looking for a means to force improvement into the organization? Alternatives: Six Sigma is a powerful tool, specifically designed to resolve complex quality problems. It is NOT, however, designed to address overall operating performance issues. Lean Manufacturing, on the other hand, is an all-encompassing philosophy designed to address overall process improvement. It is a comprehensive philosophy and process with a cadre of underlying techniques. |

| MoneyMoz recommended article: Identifying Candidates for Leadership A critical task in the succession planning process of any organization is identifying candidates. Traditionally, candidates have been identified based on past performance. While this seems logical, it is problematic in practice. Past performance always measures success in a lower-level position. What is needed in succession planning is a system to identify potential for success in a future higher-level position. The best predictive model I have found is the Leadership Pipeline Model by Charan, Drotter, and Noel. Internet & Affiliate Marketing: The Eureka Effect If you are an internet or affiliate marketer, you might be missing out on big profits from techniques you already know. What do I mean by that? Simple. When most internet marketers start out they are all over the map in terms of the tools available to them and the channels they are marketing in. Spurred on by “gurus” they may try using every marketing trick at once: AdWords, AdSense, blogs, forums, ClickBank, mass emailings, ebooks, you name it. This leads to a lot of time and money spent and concerns about how to get it back. Suddenly, a few sales trickle in, and there is light at the end of the tunnel. Immediately the marketing method or affiliate program that made the sale is identified. Then, naturally, that method is focused on to the exclusion of all others. If you made your first real dollar on AdWords, chances are you have since evolved into an “AdWords expert” and if email is where you found success I'll bet you have continued to spend most of your time on email. This is all a perfectly natural process for internet businesses, keep what works, toss what doesn't. Now that you have your feet under you, however, it's time to go back and revisit other affiliate programs and marketing methods. Re-read those ebooks you spent money on before you knew better. Dust off your blog. Re-write your sales letter. Pick up a few new affiliate programs. Very quickly you'll find that having a little experience puts everything into a new and more profitable context. Techniques that were total failures before will yield results when nourished by your hard earned marketing savvy.
