Regrouping

I thought it would be a good idea to regroup and say what I am currently writing about in this blog. I have been attempting to describe my process of becoming an internet marketer in real-time in order to offer some insight into the process of being an entrepreneur in a new field. Having been an entrepreneur and management consultant for a number of years I will be describing these events without foregoing my business experience. So it is my hope that I will be able to communicate it in such a way that it is useful to someone else just getting started.

The beginning of any business has some similarities and some experiences that can potentially frustrate a budding entrepreneur. The thought being that, if it is understood that this is a normal"operating stage" then the probability of failure at this particular point will diminish. It is an experiment in simultaneous learning and mentoring. "If I can do it, then you can do it". I'm not sure if it will help anyone- but at the minimum I will be able to tell the truth about the process and eliminate a little stress for myself .

I've read many times that the beginning can be the hardest part for someone starting a new business. That is not usually the case for me. In the beginning everything is challenging and new- just what I love. Personally, I can get tripped up when things get boring. Usually after the newness has worn off and I'm in the middle of a project. But I'm getting ahead of myself with regard to this Internet Marketing project, since I am still in the beginning. A variation on the theme is having no or few results. Now this is something that I can relate to. I am a very patient person, but after pressing out, and pressing out harder, and still seeing no results, I can get lost very easily. It is painful to have no results after so much work. This would be the ideal time for me to get a mentor to keep me on track.
