Why do some people succeed in business?

I recently spoke to a guy who was seriously interested in joining YourNetBiz. He asked me a few questions that I am asked time and time again by prospective team members, will I succeed? Can you guarantee my success and that I’m going to make lots of money! And if the opportunity is so good why isn’t everyone joining up?

This is actually a very important question and one which I will try and answer, but obviously this is my own personal perception – everyone has their own thoughts on this matter!

Yournetbiz is a business and we all know that not everyone succeeds in business regardless of what type of business that is, online or offline. This is a Fact. No amount of training, resources, and money can guarantee that your business will succeed.

Let’s go back to the beginning. Not everyone chooses to set up their own business. Some people don’t like taking risks, others like the comfort blanket of a regular guaranteed income. Some people like to be employed; they enjoy knowing what tasks they will be doing every day, where they are going etc. Others don’t like taking orders and think that they could do a better job than their boss.

I could go on and on with the differences but the point I’m trying to get at is that whilst I love running my own business as the pro’s far outweigh the negatives (in my mind) some people don’t want to run their own business for whatever reason.

So why go into business? Do we suddenly wake up and say “there has to be another way”; are we forced into it through the present financial climate? Is it a lifetime goal? Personal circumstances change?

Regardless of how we get to setting up a business I think the key ingredient is having the right mindset.

Often we decide to start a business without really understanding what it actually involves.

So, let’s go back to the original question of whether you can succeed. I could give you the usual comment that there are no guarantees and I don’t know if you will succeed etc. but give me your money anyway lol!

But I won’t for the simple reason that isn’t actually true. I strongly believe that if you have the right mindset, are passionate about the product/services you are promoting, work hard (THERE ARE NO get rich quick schemes), are disciplined with your time and willing to learn then success can be achieved.

Is it really that easy? Don’t you need certain business skills? Be able to sell? Well people buy from those they like and trust. If the product is good, shouldn’t it sell it self?

Time and again I am inundated with people wanting to sign up to Your Net Biz, they think it’s easy, they think they can earn money and lots of it immediately. Why do they think that? Are they lead to believe it by the marketing and the hype? Is it the fault of us as mentors that is making them think this?

There will always be some people who will succeed in business regardless of what it is. I myself have run and sold a successful business and am now working with other opportunities like Your Net Biz. Does that guarantee me success?

If you look at the top business men, most of them have some kind of failure in the past, I know some big names who have even gone bankrupt but have built themselves up again and are now multi-millionaires.

Is business success determined by how much money you earn? Or by how much time you have to spend with your family?

When I used to carry out my training I was often asked by people, why are you training them and giving away all your secrets, they will then become your competitors. My answer was always simply that I believed that there was enough room in the market, that competition is healthy and more importantly, only a few will actually carry out what I have said to do.

The same principal applies with yournetbiz. As your mentor I can’t guarantee that you will succeed but what I do strongly believe is that if you do carry out my suggestions together with having the right mindset you will succeed.

Is it really that simple? Try it, I dare you to prove me wrong!
