This isn't a "wanna be" zillionaire style email. It's a business philosophy that indicates what few people are bold enough to acknowledge. People can call themselves a business but that really doesn't make them a business.
Take a Look....
Running a profitable e-business can be hard work. Are you placing e-bandages on your biz-wounds, when surgery might be needed? What does this mean? Are you relying of hoards of people to guide you?
Do you believe that everyone you do business with on the internet, has an elementary theory of business? Is it safe to assume that they have some kind of understanding of the concepts and constant changes that we face? Of course not. We meet people from all walks of life and some of them have never been "in business," before we met them. Can you remember the first time you called yourself a business?
Some of us dare to trot boldly, to go where no man OR woman has ever tread before. Others struggle with expensive and un-qualified, "on-the-job" training. When we need and want a "reality check" reply,.... we might depend on personal instinct. For many of us, this "instinct" decision is based on education in our field, or on our past experiences. It's not the same thing as "pot luck."

solution? Should you find a reliable mentor? Do new ideas fuel you with motivation and inspiration, or do they leave you with an empty feeling of being lost? Test your instinct.
Instinct is that silent voice inside of you, that tells you whether to go with an idea, or prompts you to ditch it. What's behind this instinct feeling that seems to surface out of thin air? Fear? Yes, fear can ruin our chances of success. Fear of the unknown might be confusing. If you don't know enough about what you're doing, in many cases, "instinct" has a hard time giving your GUTS, the desired prompt! This is where the education or lack of it, pops in.
Confusion and fear stall action. Since some things remain a thorn in our sides, we might try different things and keep starting over. We might be working long and hard with no results so we change businesses.. Did the business fail us or did we fail it?
If this sounds like you, instead of patching up your business with bandages, find a trusted mentor to help you. A good mentor can spoon feed you through your e-education and really help you cut down your trial and error.
