One Thing Far Too Many Aspiring Entrepreneurs Do That They Really Shouldn’t!

So here’s a quick question for all serious aspiring entrepreneurs, (of the) following two choices, which do you think is easier. Seriously? Climbing Mount Everest or walking up the five flights of stairs at (either) a friend or relatives house? Huh? No, yours truly hasn’t gone off the deep end! Not yet anyway.

If you said the five flight of stairs. Very good. Or what about this one. Which is easier; to jog (rather slowly) around the block where you live or participate in a local ten K (that’s ten mile) run? Again, if you answered jog (rather slowly) around the block where you live. I’m definitely inclined to agree with you. In fact, you might refer to this little litmus test as the aspiring entrepreneurs “common sense” indicator.

Alright, so where is all this so called “common sense” litmus test stuff heading? Very simply, when asked virtually simple questions, (of a non techie nature) typically 110% of the aspiring entrepreneurs seem to possess the all important common sense thinking processes, needed to arrive at the correct answer.

However, when it comes to the practical application of this very simple principle, something rather odd starts to happen to (both) their immediate way of thinking and “how” they ultimately go about doing things!

Don’t believe it! Hang on and see for yourself!

So Why Do So Many Aspiring Entrepreneurs Consistently Do This One Thing That They Really Shouldn’t?

Okay, seriously here’s the deal. And you tell me if this scenario sounds all too familiar. A while back a local mastermind member and myself (this particular guy) currently owns three local Mom & Pop type of computer repair shops.

And he’s just barely in his early thirties! Yea he’s a real go getter! Anyway, after introducing him (and a couple of his key staff members) to the upsell/add on sell marketing strategy, he immediately started utilizing/testing it in each of his three stores.

And within three short weeks of inexpensively testing,tweaking and tracking, he reported back that he consistently added an additional $500 dollars in gross profit per week to his (all important) bottom line! Per store mind you!

Which means, he’s currently (on pace to) be grossing an additional $2,000 per month times three stores or an additional $72,000 dollars gross profit per year! ($2,000 per month x 3 stores x 12 months = an additional $72,000 dollars in gross profit!) For now. (If they continue to implement this proven marketing strategy.)

Pretty cool right? And I basically get free computer repairs and upgrades for sharing my battlefield tested marketing advice with him and some of  his key associates on the regular! A pretty sweet deal for both of us! Right?

Now then here’s where the otherwise, common sensed based entrepreneur strays off the farm. Ideally, I would love to have him shoot a video testimonial and upload it to good old youtube and simply embed it in this (and or) future post! (Or simply add it at some point to my homepages sidebar.)

But rather than wait around for him to do that or wait until we do another Mastermind group meet etc., I just simply went ahead and wrote and published this post!

If Climbing The Five Flights Of Stairs Is Far Easier Than Climbing Mount Everest Why Not Tackle The Simpler Project First?

Here’s what the all too typical aspiring entrepreneur does. They decide they have to wait (don’t you know!) until they not only purchase a state of the art $400 dollar James Bond type of camera!

But then, the lightening and audio along with everything else has to be just so! Otherwise it’s not right! And guess what ultimately whines up happening? You guessed it! It never gets done!

Or what about this; they’ve got the opportunity to put together a potential money making project, that can or should take all of two days or less, from start to finish and they could earn a nice front end gross profit!

What do they opt for instead. A potential money making project that’s far more involved, with rather sophisticated front and back end sales funnels etc., (plus) it’s also dependent on other individuals to play a semi important role and (at best) it will take the better part of three weeks or more! So they opt for that and ten days or so into it!

You guessed it, the entire project (for a ton of reasons) gets scrapped altogether! More irreplaceable time wasted! Or they prefer (for some odd reason) to jump (or at least attempt to) jump the ten foot fence, when the gate is wide open! Go figure!

So in the final analysis, far too many aspiring entrepreneurs simply have a tendency to over complicate things! Don’t you agree?

(Hint: At some point, I’ll get my video testimonial from my computer guy and when I do. Guess what? It will simply replace the video that’s in the post now!) That’s not too overly complicated,right?

But it doesn’t make sense to stop continually moving forward in the meantime! Would you not agree?
