The Three Patterns of Failure

Theodore Roosevelt once said "It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows achievement and who at the worst if he fails at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."

The following are not personality types, just “wrong ways of going about it.” Let’s cover them quickly, too...

 FIRE-Ready-Aim

Naw, no research or preparation work for me. My gut tells me what to do -- start running, don’t worry about direction.

... I’m excited. I have a great idea. Let’s go. Just give it a shot... even if it’s in the dark.

Welcome to FIRE-Ready-Aim.

A great idea is easy. But executing that idea can take a year of your life.

Site BuildIt! puts small business people on the straight and narrow path. Research first. You only actually name your domain on DAY 5 and start building your site on DAY 6 (of a 10-DAY process). That’s one of the big reasons that 51% of all SBI! websites end up in the Top 3% of all sites on the Net.

Visit this website to verify this for yourself.

Ready-Aim-Ready-Aim-Ready...

I am looking for that dead-bang, absolutely perfect, researched-to-death-and-into-the-afterlife idea.

Once I find it, I will research the planning for the preparation of its scheduling for a few more months (after I get my third PhD in this area) ... Obviously, this is the flip side of FIRE-Ready-Aim.

Site Build It! helps here, too...... Well, it is not quite that forceful!

But let us boil it down...

 

It is a simple, logical, powerful process.

Site Build It! gives you the tools to know when you have a winner, and then the tools to run with it and succeed, no matter what your business may be about...

No sooner do I fall in love with one idea, I fall in love with another. I hardly know where to start.

... Ideas are actually the easy part of the process. A couple of neurons connect and voila... an idea! Again, it’s executing the idea that takes time. And most people can only build and run one business at a time.

Once again, Site Build It! comes to the rescue. It shows you which of your ideas are in demand, which one will the most profitable. And from there, as I mentioned, it provides all the tools you need to build a roaring, successful business, just like these folks...

The Finale

There are a ton of books on success, but not “on failure.”

Think about this...

Success, if you keep trying, is merely the absence of failure. All you have to do is eliminate the reasons for failure.

Have you found yourself in this book? If so, you can indeed succeed by eliminating the shortcomings that cause you to fail.

If you do not see yourself here, then what is holding you back? There is a reason that each person fails. Most people won’t look inside for it, though.

At SiteSell.com, we love working with small business people who are determined to succeed. Why? Because with Site Build It!, determined small business people really do succeed.

SBI! really does make it as simple as possible to build a genuine, profitable business with equity. “Simple” means that it is “barrier-free” so you can focus on business.

 But that does not mean that success is easy.

Nothing REAL in the business world is easy, I am afraid, as much as some companies would like folks to believe it, and as much as some people do believe that there is a magic money-making answer.

We don't OVERpromise, just OVERdeliver. Yes, we could side with all the other hosting companies who help you “get it up” in a matter of minutes  and then let folks fail, all the while bleeding them for as much as possible, for as long as possible.

Even the biggest of companies toss out this “it's-so-easy” lure. At SiteSell, we don’t chase that kind of customer because we know those false promises can only end in disappointment. We don’t want to be part of that.

Instead...

We live for those people who have the drive to succeed. They have a willingness to work for it. They have the common sense to know that “get rich quick” does not exist.

We don't make any bones about it...

We go to the ends of the earth for those who try, for those who are honest, for those who put in the effort, for those who fail... and keep trying.

Fail? Does everyone succeed with SBI!?

Of course not. But if they're trying, we're there for them. Anyone who is trying is my hero. And anyone who keeps trying, must ultimately succeed.

Sooner or later... BOOM! They're off and running.

No one "wins” on the first try.

The key is to decide to be a winner, and simply keep doing everything until you're there. And that word “everything” includes self-improvement.

Nothing could be further from the truth, because any reasonable person knows that nothing is absolutely guaranteed in business, not even SBI!.

This article is my best effort to share what I have learned, to help you turn the corner. So, just to clear this up for the cynics...

You may be the most motivated, “trait-perfect” person in the world, and you might still fail with SBI!. If you do fail at your first attempt with SBI!, learn from your mistakes.

Persist.

The words of Calvin Coolidge remain as true today, as when he uttered them.

“There are determined folks in this world who simply won’t take “fail” for an answer.”

If that’s you, all you need is SBI!.

The others, those who have a lifetime pattern of “failure to progress”? If that is you, do not expect a different outcome if you keep doing the “same old things.” To change the pattern of failure, you must look inside and get past your own barriers.

This article is my attempt to help you help yourself.

Wishing you great success.
