Overcoming Common Excuses for Not Building Your Online Business

March 4, 2008 by Kenton Newby 

Often times, people get in their own way when they set out to achieve a specific goal.  The goal could be to get in shape, find a partner, or anything else for that matter…in our case, building an online business.  The point is that no matter what the goal (if it's worth achieving), sometimes we just put a bunch of excuses and garbage in our way instead of just "getting on with it".

That's definitely true when it comes to building an online business.  With (seemingly) so much to learn and so many options available, it's easy to come up with excuses for not getting started, or for not keeping up the momentum once you're rolling along.  In fact, here are a few of the most common excuses for not starting an online business:

  1. I'm not an expert
  2. No one will buy that
  3. I'm not technical, don't know HTML and so on
  4. I'm not a good writer
  5. I'm not a good copywriter (which is different than the one above)
  6. I don't have money to spend on learning, web hosting or other basics
  7. I don't have a list (or a big enough list)
  8. I don't know how to choose a good market
  9. I need money now (with minimal work…where's the big red button because all of this sounds like it's gonna' take a long time)
  10. You can already find all that stuff online for free
  11. Someone already has something similar on the market
  12. I need to learn a little bit more before I get started

If you have one of these ideas in your head right now or you have in the past, keep an eye out for a series of future posts.  We're going to go over each of these excuses one by one and completely debunk them - not one after the other though, probably only one or two a week.  No sense in potentially holding yourself back because of things that completely don't matter.  When we're done, you'll see why all of these are complete nonsense.
