Common Mistakes To Avoid

Some common mistakes to avoid when you’ve just found what appears to be a really great opportunity online, and you really would like to become involved. The product is unmatched, and you are completely mesmerized by the platform.

Your mind starts thinking about all the great things you could do with all of your new-found wealth. Wow, what a feeling! But, hold on.

You’ve never done anything like this before.

You don’t know the first thing about marketing, websites, or putting videos on YouTube.

You, as an affiliate, must bring others into your business as a team, and guide them to success. How do you do this?

Don’t worry, my friend, there is hope. There are answers. In this post, I will point out some common mistakes to avoid being done by new internet business owners, and how to avoid them.

Take these things to heart, put them into practice, and watch yourself thrive as an entrepreneur.

The first common mistake to avoid is thinking you have to know everything before you start. This is a big one, because this determines whether you even jump into your opportunity or not. You do NOT have to have all the answers first.

Knowing the basics is a great start.

Point people in the right direction with facebook live, webinars, etc., and give your team all the information you can. You can study and learn as you go along, and just embrace the process.

Another common mistake to avoid is waiting until everything is perfect before proceeding. Let’s face it, perfection is not reality. You do not have to wait until your website is perfect before putting on the web.

You don’t have to wait till your videos are perfect before putting them on YouTube. Your follow-up emails do not have to be perfect. You can always go back and change something later.

In fact, you should be consistently and constantly changing, getting better, and improving all the time, so if you wait till all is perfect, NOTHING WILL EVER HAPPEN.

Accept imperfections, and roll with it. Put your pride aside, and give yourself a break. Just do it!

Another common mistake to avoid is not implementing anything. As you learn, you MUST implement what you learn, as soon as you learn it. It’s like the pipe under your sink.

If things go down the pipe, and cannot escape the other end, what happens? It gets clogged. Same with you. If you fill yourself with knowledge and not implement it, you get clogged with knowledge, and nothing happens.

Not implementing what you learn comes from the fear of rejection, fear of failure, fear of not knowing what to do if someone calls you with questions.

Let that fear go. Gain your confidence and do not stop putting your newly learned skills out there.

Next, people often get frustrated over new technology or skills set and freeze. Be forewarned, hang-ups will happen! There will be some things that don’t work right, or problems you will encounter.

That’s ok!

There is always an answer. Don’t be embarrassed. Also, there is customer service for just about everything you would be doing, anyway, so you should NEVER be left on your own.

DON’T QUIT OR FREEZE! There is a benefit from having to troubleshoot. When you have an issue, and learn how to fix it, who gets to benefit from your knowledge besides you? YOUR NEW RECRUITS! Your experience is invaluable to them. Pass it on, and embrace the wisdom you are gaining.

The next common mistake to avoid is not focusing on the next step. Now, you don’t want to do 30 things at once, but you should always be aware of what you will do next.

Organizational skills play a big part in this one. When you first join an opportunity, hopefully you have picked one that has great leadership and will tell you what your first few steps should be.

Do not ignore these steps. Always have a “To-Do” list to keep you on track, and be ready for your tasks mentally and physically. It WILL seem a little overwhelming, no doubt, but that will pass.

Get in the game, and stay in the game. It’s a competitive world out there, so never neglect your plan of action.

And, last but certainly not least, don’t forget about PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT. This is crucial. Necessary. A MUST! Success begins with your thinking. Your goals, dreams and desires.

You cannot ignore your need to improve INSIDE YOURSELF. Make time for personal development every day. Start your day with it, if you want.

So, there you have it! Now jump in, with all your heart and soul, avoid these mistakes, and watch yourself evolve and prosper.
