3 Major Causes of Failure in Your Home Based Internet Business - Are They Holding You Back

By Rebecca Mitchell
There are many causes or reasons why we fail and some are simply acts of nature. But most, probably 90% or more, are completely and totally within our control. To succeed in today's world of Home Based Internet Business, or any other business for that matter, there are certain obstacles you must overcome if they stand in your way. The three most common causes for failure that we CAN control are procrastination, lack of purpose, and lack of persistence. Everyone of us has at least one, if not all of these, to conquer in one form or another.

The most common of all causes of failure, in my opinion, is procrastination. "Old Man Procrastination" lurks in the dark side of us all, just waiting to make us fall on our face and fail. Most of us wait around for the perfect time to start doing anything worthwhile. There is no perfect time. There will always be something standing in your way if you allow it. Don't wait. Start right now, right where you are, with whatever you have to work with. A good place to start is to set goals, as lack of purpose is another major reason for failure.

Before we attempt to start anything, we must have a clear and concise goal. We must know without a doubt what it is we want. We all need something to work towards, something that means so much to us that we keep it in the forefront of our thoughts at all times. Without a definite goal, we wander aimlessly around, starting one project after another and never finishing anything. Which brings us to another cause of failure, lack of persistence.

Most of us get started with no problem. We find something we are interested in, get all excited, and know that this is it without a doubt. Then, we hit a bump in the road, things get difficult and we throw up our hands and think, Okay maybe this wasn't right for me after all. Don't be afraid of set backs. With every small failure you are one step closer to success. You become a failure when you give up. DO NOT QUIT! Persistence and failure cannot coexist. Stick with it. You can do it! Whatever IT may be: home based business, Internet business, whatever you choose to do.

So, get started, NOW! Right where you are with whatever you have to work with. Don't let anything stand in your way or hold you back. Set a goal. Write it down and read it out loud several times a day. Plant it on your brain and in your heart. Stay focused and work diligently toward your goal. When you hit a bump or get off course or even fall completely on your face, get up, dust yourself off, and start again. YOU CAN DO IT! So, get started, NOW!
