Why most businesses fail (and what you can do about it)

August 3rd, 2010

I just got done reading two articles that are apparently
in conflict with each other.

The first article said that over 85 percent of businesses
fail within the first five years of opening their doors.
And it gave a number of reasons that I’ll tell you about
in a minute.

The second article pointed out that despite the financial
crisis, the number of millionaires in the United States
rose a whopping 16 percent to 7.8 million in 2009.

So in the midst of a financial crisis, the number of
millionaires rose by millions of people.

Pretty interesting.  Here’s my take on it.

You have the power to choose which side you’re going to
be on.  And it starts by not making excuses about the
economy and the world around us.

Going down the road of excuse s never works, because
there are a lot of reasons why your business can fail.

Accountants and financial types will point out that most
businesses fail because they are undercapitalized.

Political types will blame over taxation or government
regulation for making small businesses fail.

Sales and marketing folks will point out that it’s
harder to get sales when everybody is so tight fisted.

The list goes on and on.  And the danger is that it’s
easy to roll over and decide that you want to make
excuses instead of being successful.

But you’re with me on this journey, and I know that
you’re not interested in rolling over and giving up.

So it’s time for some answers.

It’s important to build as many systems around yourself,
your message, and your business – so that you can reach
your customers 24/7, and ext end your reach as far as
possible.

You want to make sure that you’re always filling the
pipeline and delivering as much value to the
marketplace as you’re humanly capable of.

As Brian Tracy says, “If you give enough people what
they want, you can get anything that you want.”

Building a website sales system around a business is
just one of hundreds of ways I’ve helped people all
over the world deliver their unique value to countless
thousands of people.

P.S. – A lot of folks have been asking me about SEO
and the results you can get f rom being ranked high
on Google.  Let’s just say that it’s pretty much
the most important thing you can do after you have
a website.  See here for details.
