Whether you are a new or experienced business owner, it may seem difficult to remain committed and keep your nose to the grindstone at times. Nonetheless, one of the most determining factors to your success is simply sticking with it, so here are a few simple tips to staying motivated in running your own business to get you started!
1. Evaluate your competition. This may seem like it could be incredibly discouraging if many of your competitors are doing better than you, but on the flipside, they may also be having a slow quarter with low sales. If you can look across your niche market and put into perspective how your competition is performing, you will have a better idea of where you are at. If for some reason your results are subpar, be gentle with yourself, and take that as an opportunity to learn and grow to measure up to your competitors.
2. Remember what you are there for. There is no better way to get motivated than to think of why you started your business in the first place! If you used to work as a waitress before branching out on your own online venture, you can thank your lucky stars that you have the opportunity to be your own boss and no longer have to serve burgers to customers. Even if you were top in your field in a corporation, starting your own business gives you the opportunity to be financially independent, make your own hours, and pursue your passions. That in itself is pure motivation.
3. Look for a mentor or advisor. This is fantastic help if you feel that you are hitting a wall in your business. There are always people out there that are farther along on their journey than you are, so be open to advice, encouragement, and guidance. Of course, make sure that the person that you go to truly knows what they are doing in your industry. If you have an affiliate marketing business that you are hoping to grow, you want your mentor to be specifically experienced with that to give you insider advice and tips.
The bottom line is to simply not give up. Starting your own business is the opportunity to pursue your dreams and have even more freedom, but it does take determination and drive. You can do it!

Is it Really Overwhelm?

Stop it with the Overwhelm!
Here’s the deal. Everyone is talking about how they are over whelmed by information, by duties, by the holidays- there are entire lists they go through.
For most people here is a new thought. Maybe you are not overwhelmed. Maybe you agreed to do things that you never wanted to do. Or you agreed to do things that you have since changed your mind about and no longer wish to do. But you won’t give yourself to permission to change or let people know. So you just flake out and say you are over whelmed.
Maybe you just don’t want to do what is required for a particular thing. There may have been requirements you didn’t know about when you agreed, or you just see the entire project and don’t want to be bothered doing it.
So we use over-whelm as a catchall.
In 2013, let’s just start saying no.

Here are some tips for those people who would like to start their new business: By Sean R Mize
1. Check on your competitors. It is not enough that you know the needs and demands of your potential clients. It’s not also enough that you are confident that you can meet these needs. If you want to increase your chances of making a sale, you need to understand what your competitors are doing. You will need to outplay these people so you can keep your potential buyers from purchasing from them.
2. Hard work and determination. Putting up a small business can be really overwhelming and at times, downright frustrating. You will need to work hard and you will need a truck load of determination to succeed in this field.
3. Hire the best people. Keep in mind that your employees are the secrets to your business’ success. So, hire only the best. Go with those individuals who are driven, result-oriented, and easy to work with. Its better if the people you are hire have in-depth knowledge about your products and about the business that you would like to put up.
4. Be willing to invest for your advertising cost. Spending your precious dimes on your advertising campaign is probably your wisest investment in growing your business. Through this, you’ll be able to promote product awareness and you can easily reach out to those people who are most likely to buy from you. This can lead to enormous sales leads and increased revenue.
5. Offer 100% satisfaction. Having a great reputation in your chosen niche is the key to attract more customers. Make sure that your clients have nothing but good things to say about you and your products. Do you want to learn more about how I do it? I have just completed a brand new free guide.
