Do You Have Stinkin Thinkin?

If you are serious about succeeding at running your own home based on line business, you should considered all of the following un-realistic ways of thinking about your business:

Stinkin Thinkin: I'll be my own boss, so I can work as much as I do or don't want to.
Think about it: Until such time as you reach most of your primary goals and are profitable, you will have to work more hours every day in stead of less.

Stinkin Thinkin: I don't need a plan because I bought a course that says it will teach me everything I need to know to be a success on line including a plan as to how to be successful on line. (Several hundred thousand Internet Marketing Success wanna beez thought the same thing.)
Think about it: While I'm not saying there are not good courses out there, you will pay a pretty penny (Upwards of $1,000.00 +) for a complete course. The problem is the Internet is changing so fast and so many new technologies are coming along even faster, that by the time the people that write these courses get them completely researched and written, they are out of date.  Not to mention their PLAN is almost always intended as a guide line.  It's not a complete plan and it's not YOUR plan.

Stinkin Thinkin: I can start my on line business on a shoe string budget so if I fail I won't be out anything but my own time.
Think about it: Obviously you can start and run an on line business with far less start up capital than you can a traditional brick and mortar business or even a conventional service business out of your own home.  You are going to have software costs, domain registration costs (Believe me one domain wont be enough), monthly hosting fees, monthly autoresponder fees, Internet fees, server side software costs, monthly fees for services such as .PDF conversions and the list goes on.  A budget is a relative term depending on how much you are willing or able to spend to be successful how soon.

Stinkin Thinkin: I don't have the time to learn all that technical stuff.  I'll just pay somebody else to do it.
Think about it: That's  fine if you have the money but do you have the knowledge and experience to manage employees or worse yet independent contractors to do most of the technical work for you?  Think about it.

There are of course more things that can be added to this list but I think you get the idea.  At least in the beginning you will have to learn an amazing amount of information, work more hours than you ever did at your day job, and spend enough money to put you in a position to start making money. 

Thinking that starting and running an online business will require any less and you're kidding yourself.  And that is what I call Stinking Thinkin.  Basically lying to yourself about what it will take or believing someone else's lies about how you can become a successful on line business owner cheap and easy.

Thinking of your business as a REAL business and treating it as a REAL business from inception will go a long way toward heading off future business frustrations.
