Don't pull down the shades to online success

"If a window of opportunity appears, don't pull down the shade." Written by the esteemed Tom Peters.

That is an insightful comment and one more "would be" online entrepreneurs need to internalize and not just read. When you consider that most people fail at online businesses I simply answer that it's the failures' own fault because for some odd reason people pull down the shade right when they have a good opportunity presented to them. Pulling down the shade is putting the blinders on so that you can justify failure because surely failure will come if you pull down the blinds of following the new plans instructions.

Put another way, for some odd reason people are unwilling to do what they are shown to do and still expect they will receive money from their new business. In many cases the new people won't even let the new business opportunity show them what to do. There is work to do when you join an online business and you're not going to get anything for nothing - so do the work they show you to do.

I think it's a crying shame that there are people who need to make money online but fail to do the things that will bring them success.

I have booming online business that I didn't pull the blinds down on and I attribute my success to that simple action of not pulling down the blinds. The business I am associated with is a highly successful venture with time and systems on their side and it is duplicable. And if you don't make money with it then you're not trying.

I am truely interested in the success of others and am amazed at the people who will join our program, buy our product, yet won't listen to the educational conference calls, won't take us up on our proven successful advertising methods, then end up doing what they want to do to advertise that has failed for them in the past and wonder why this plan doesn't work for them.

People! If you've researched, done your due diligence and are comfortable with the new plan you are starting (all this comes from finding an excellent opportunity), then jump in head first and do what the duplicable system tells you to do. You do this and you'll reap the rewards of online success and you don't do it and that simple act will doom you to failure.
