for your blog will bring in more visitors, backlinks, pizza,
wine, money, blah, blah blah.
Of course you already know, I write these tips and tidbits to make you
think - the last thing you need is for me to start being some internet
geek.
This next bit comes from a post I made on that Wordpress blog (yeah,
that one!) for those holding back starting their own business because
of the economy. You can read it to help bolster your courage, or skip
it and just watch the video at the bottom - I'm learning to be
flexible.
Let's get to it -
Just when you think you have things figured out, Murphy pays a visit.
Hosting account? Check
Wordpress Theme? Check
Autoresponder? Check
Edited theme? No one told me that! Check
FTP program working? Uh, where is that registration
code!?! Check
View new blog? Aaack! It's not working!
Welcome to Murphy's! It doesn't matter how well you plan to get your
business moving forward or what skill set you have, unless you created
the universe, and I'm reasonably certain you didn't
there will be Murphy!
Murphy's Law loosely says:
"If it can go wrong, it will go wrong at the worst possible time, in
the worse possible way and take 3 times as long to correct!"
So should you become a solo entrepreneur in your own micro business?
Only you can answer that but I let me assure you - There are no guarantees.
The best you can do is expect the unexpected.
Things you plan to go right, may not. Plan as best you can, but get over the fear of going on your own.
And yes, you might get into the wrong business or no one may want what you're selling or any number of 'trials and tribulations' may befall you as a Solo Entrepreneur.
Ohh, poor you! You're not making the millions your sponsor, that new
course, that e-book or infomercial guy promised and nobody understands how
hard it is...boohoo.
Here's a tissue, blow your nose and....Cowboy Up! In the final results, it's up to you whether you succeed or not - no one else. Responsibility for yourself comes back to you.
That's it for today and I leave you with this (it's a video, so watch it on the blog!) Nick is what we should all aspire to be - grateful for what we have and
the journey along the way.
Cowboy Up!
