Input needed from people who have started their own online business & succeeded?

February 7, 2010 by admin  
Filed under Grow Your Online Business

I have a small but growing online business (wholesale/retail). I have no friends or family that understand the joys and the strife of owning an at-home business. Everyone I know believes ONLY in working for someone else. I had to listen to everyone around me scoff at my dreams and tell me how ridiculous it was. It only made me more determined to succeed. Now since I’m making as much at home as I would at a job (since starting in April), those same people are interested in being "business partners" with me. I need to hear from people that have done the same thing and succeeded. Maybe a suggestion of a forum where I can go to talk to others like myself. I live in a small town, have narrow-minded people all around me and feel like I’m really out of my element. Would love to exchange emails with others like me. What’s YOUR success story?

    Good for you, and go for it! Don’t let the narrow minded people control, dictate, or be part of you buz.

    Have faith in yourself,
    refuse to believe in the word impossible.

    If others can do it, so can you.

    Personally there is nothing worse than people who don’t believe in you, that’s why you need to believe in yourself and go for your dreams and goals.
    One way you can find out about other online success stories is to contact the people yourself/email the websites you are interested in and ask for general infomation about thier buz. Don’t get too personnel, just simple questions. That’s one way, but any way just be encouraged that I beileve in YOU!

    DO NOT ACCEPT A PARTNER. This is the best advice that I ever received. I did not listen to it and I should have. A partnership is a like having another wife who will resent every second that you do not work.
    Also, good luck with your business. You can email me if you would like some more advice. I own DesignerPlumbingOutlet.com which is one of the top grossing Yahoo stores on the net.
