Do You Have a Real Internet Business?

So what’s a real internet business?

Well I guess it’s like any business, the definition of which is “A profitable enterprise that works without me”!

How many of you really have profitable enterprise that works without you?

I would venture to say not many! Let’s face it… the internet is one place you can start a blog, throw up some Adsense and declare “I have an online business”

What a load of crap that is, that’s like my kids saying they have a real business because they have a paper round!

Sorry for the harsh reality check but let’s face it, a real business is what many people are after but are not willing to set up their internet venture with proper planning.

Imagine walking into the bank and handing them the current details of your internet business as a plan that you wish to loan against for growing the business etc…. huh … they’d laugh.

Now of course this is not everyone at all, but most so called internet business I see are like this.

There is hope and you can apply proper business practice and planning to create a real enterprise, and that doesn’t mean with a real enterprise you have to start hiring real people etc… not at all, all I mean is you conduct your business like a real enterprise.

It all starts with the PLAN… without it you may as well be in a dark room with a blindfold on, stumbling around from one task to the next…. hey I know it sounds familiar and that was me for 2 years online so I know what it’s all about, and how to go about changing it.

First step in any change is awareness, and then we can begin to form new habits… sound good?

Next installment we will begin the turn around process, it works very very well and it’s the exact method I used to transform a opportunity hopper like me into a focused productive business owner and the same things I used to help property investors turn around their investing results.
