BEAWARE OF "SUCIDE PITS"

It is understandable that millions of people have ambitions, desires and wishes to have their own business. Countless millions of people are in jobs, they do not really like, nor get any satisfaction from. Financially, what they get is enough only for month to month existence, but cannot build up real wealth. It is a constant struggle to make ends meet, frustrations are commonplace as people have little control over their own lives.



Don't we all deserve the freedom, the riches, that the owners of successful businesses enjoy?

What is easy to forget is that, usually, those business have been built with a lot of blood, sweat and tears. Running a business is very hard work; running a successful business is even harder. Those who have succeeded have usually had a vision, taken calculated risks, researched, worked long hours, and have learnt from inevitable setbacks and mistakes. They have learnt about their market sector, how to run a business, marketing, finance, and the law as it affects them in their business. Although what you may now see is a big business in glossy corporate offices, you can be sure it was originally built from hard graft.
Aah, you may be thinking, that was before the internet. Anyone can do it now!Sorry to disappoint you, but having a successful internet business requires hard work too; it involves an awful lot of learning, maybe years together.


Does all that put you off having your own business?

Does that all seem too much like hard work?

Do you want the benefits without the hassle?

If you answer "YES" to any of those questions, then you are prime fodder for the Get Rich Quick Schemes :

Welcome To The Internet Danger Zone

Once you start turning your attention to earning money online, you will soon be bombarded with hundreds, thousands, of "opportunities". You will see promises of millions of dollars, thousands of people paying you $20 into your Paypal account for the rest of your life; instant businesses with no physical work.

Now, stop and think about it. Be honest with yourself. How realistic are all of those claims? While each of them is possible, how sustainable are they really?

Many newcomers to the world of internet business should be aware of scams, which is good. There are scams around; many of them.

But the biggest danger is not these deliberate scams, but greed to make tons of money without really knowing the nitty gritty about it,coupled with bad management. The fact is,it is easy to set up a business online.It would be advisable for people to do so, who have idea, how to run a business, plan for business success, manage finances etc.
