Found a cracking niche? Get a reality check now

Starting up any business online for the first time or not, the same principles or formulas always applies.

I recall the saying “Any great thing is 1 % inspiration and 99% perspiration.” If you’ve thought of your niche then that is the 1% inspiration done. Now what is left? That’s right folks the 99% perspiration.

Now let us break the perspiration down. What causes perspiration? The answer is easy …hard work. (Unless you are naturally perspired) This is where the real work starts so this is where our motivation, determination and all those other qualities that drive a person, needs to start assisting us. It is the balance that ensures that we are working at the level we need to.

How many times I have started on a business venture which was a potential goldmine, but as the hard work started, the glitz and the glamour of the potential goal that I had dreamed up seemed to fade into the far distance!

You might have been there or you might be there now. Like most of us we hear about a good opportunity we read how a certain individual has made it big through a similar venture. You imagine yourself in that position earning that money spending that cash free to go on holiday etc. That’s the initial dreamers phase that everybody enjoys.

But as you decide “yes that’s what I want and that’s what I am going to do. Not like the person on the top but even better.” Your ego, motivation, determination etc. goes into overdrive. Your emotions make you feel as if you have already achieved your dream. The initial stage you can say is like a sudden and storm of ideas that blow up dust everywhere you become a little blinded with the overwhelming thoughts of success.

We then start the project/venture with that high. As we start taking the initial steps we obviously come across obstacles that we did not apprehend. From basic things like… it is going to cost more than you thought or somebody else has already thought of the innovative idea you had planned, one of the biggest off putter the amount of competition etc.

The reality of the journey starts dawning on us and we say to ourselves “hold on, this isn’t going to be as easy as I thought.” Have you been there too? This is the first leg when you lose most of the people who didn’t really mean what they hoped for. This where the wise mans saying comes true. “My dear son, take the road of hardship as on that road there is very little competition”

So this is the point where you need to re-remind yourself the reason you have decided to take up this venture. The benefits, the perks, how this venture is going to let you live the life you want. Keep the dream alive and watch your motivation and emotions pick you up again.

This is your dream.You are a winner and you can do it………
