Make Money From Online Business - Plan to Succeed

Guest post by: Midge Hand

Article Overview: What is one of the traits that all successful people have in common - they are planners. They would never even dream of going on a journey without some making a plan. They would need to think about how to get to their destination, how long it would take, the best way for them to travel, luggage, insurance, time away from home and work, someone to mind the pets in their absence, etc. etc. etc. So they would have to make a plan. But even the best laid plans need need re-assessing and adjusting.

Make Money From Online Business - Plan to Succeed

If you were planning to go on a trip, somewhere you had never been before, what would be the first thing you would think of - how to get there? What would you need - a plan - very simple. Even the most intelligent, most experienced, most successful person cannot navigate an unknown journey with ease and comfort, without a plan.

And it's the same process if you want to make money online and succeed in a home based business - you will need a plan - a workable, practical plan. Thousands of people go through life without a plan for either their life or their home based business - no wonder they fail and become another statistic who fails to achieve success or make money online in a home based business.

Just think about this for a moment- the great car manufacturer Henry Ford - he produced a car that appeared at the Grosse Pointe Blue Ribbon track at Detroit, but ended in failure. In June 1903, he found more people willing to invest in another motor company and he began production of the Model A car and as we say, the rest is history. Even this famous man had temporary defeat, not only at the beginning of his career, but also when he was on his way to becoming the success we all know of today. What did he do when his plans failed? He created new plans and successfully went on to achieve great fame and fortune.

You will always hear success stories about those who have accumulated great fortunes, but often we only recognise and acknowledge the victory and overlook the temporary defeats which they had to overcome before they accomplished the supreme success. No one can expect to accumulate a fortune without at first experiencing 'temporary defeat'. It's just the way it happens - we learn along the way.

Planning is not only smart but it is considered essential for anyone wanting to carve a niche in the internet marketing industry and achieve success in making money online. It is even more significant for the home based business owner to have a plan as you will generally have some of the characteristics of an entrepreneur such as risk taking, visionary and acting on intuition. These are all great qualities to have and they are absolutely essential for an entrepreneur, but they need to be tempered with the practical applications of running a successful home based business like planning, organisation and discipline.

Just remember if your plan fails at first, don't despair -think about Henry Ford - this temporary defeat is not the end...it only means that your plan needs some fine-tuning and adjustment. Get your plan out - look at it in depth and consider any areas where you need to re-assess and modify to get you on the road to success.

In the words of the famous Napoleon Hill "when defeat comes, accept it as a signal that your plans are not sound, rebuild those plans, and set sail once more towards your coveted goal. If you give up before your goal has been reached, you are a quitter - a quitter never wins and a winner never quits."

Intelligent sound planning is the key to success in making money online in a home based business and indeed in any area of your life where you want to achieve.

Business Innovation - Hi Simon If you can finish off the Business Plan and think about your strategic direction or how you are going to use your product to convince people it's a great idea, it will set the foundation for your programming project. You see, when you are looking for funding you will need a Business Plan and Strategic Plan that will convince companies to invest into your new idea. Has anyone achieved this idea before using another industry besides health and fitness that you know of? You should also design some mockups as a "preview" for your programming project. This will also help reduce your programming costs as everyone will know exactly what you want if you have detailed mockups already completed including any functionality you require. Starting mockups for websites and software applications on paper is the best way if you're not a guru in graphic editing software.

Re: NEW VIDEO - How to improve your business plan - Ask Evan - Thanks Evan, great intro into how the VC's see business plan. I will take a look, but hope that this video as number 1 in a series. It is unfortunate that these types of errors, the most basic of errors as you point out here are common to too many business plans, having reviewed a few hundred myself from both a development and funding perspective. As a mentor and workshop facilitator for Business Plan development for a number of start-up IT and multimedia companies, your presentation help support and show how the VC's see and evaluate a plan Shameful, that too many don't take the time to learn how to properly prepare, present and defend their plans. Over the years, I have enjoyed Business Plan competitions, and help re-work some of the winning proposals
