My Mother Said Ecommerce Won't Work
Many ecommerce enterpreneur-wanna-bes have to content with negative feedback and comments whenever they are standing right at the start off point. Just when we're convinced that ecommerce is the best way to achieve happiness - someone dumps a really chilly ice-cold bucket of water on us.
But that's the way the world works, business people. If you have a creative or unique selling point or idea, be ready to withstand cold wind, harsh weather, snow storms, tsunamis and a tornado or two. That's the way it is. Cause how creative can your idea be when others readily accepts your idea? It can't be very creative, can it? If you're really convinced about your ecommerce idea, then you'd better be ready for people to head butt you.
Why?
Ecommerce is Still Revolutionary
Yeah, the Internet age started a long time ago and ecommerce has been around for the longest time - but if you're dealing with loved ones who have more conventional ideas or thoughts about how to run a business, then you're in for strong arguments. You see, regardless of how wonderful the idea of an ecommerce idea can be, there are still many loopholes in the ecommerce business, the electronic scam and sham, cans of worms revealed one at a time scares people off.
Not many people BELIEVE, really believe, in ecommerce. That's the troubling part about the ecommerce business.
You've Got to Believe in Your Ecommerce Business
On top of being ready to work round the clock, you've also got to be ready to hear nasty words from your loved ones. One successful ecommerce business woman recalls how her mother threatened not to cook for her kids if she decided to quit her day job to become an ecommerce netpreneur! People from the previous generation may not understand how the new business world works, so, be patient. Explain it to them, one time, two time, three times....however many times it requires for them to accept the fact that you've decided on it.
To maintain the faith, you've got to keep yourself focused on your ecommerce business. Speak to and connect with people who are running ecommerce sites of their own. Exchange ideas and views, comment on each others' systems and be sure to help each other out whenever you can. That's one of the most powerful way to market your ecommerce business.
The Ecommerce Spouse
The lousiest thing about being in any business if when you don't have the support of your partner or spouse! You need support from everyone you know, and one of the more important people to get support from is your spouse. Along with ecommerce, comes uncertainty. Because your spouse loves you, he/she probably wants the best for you. And that is why you should remain patient and be consistent in your work. Don't give up on your dreams of running your own ecommerce store simply because you're head butting everyone. Keep on head butting till you win!
By the way, head butting with others makes you stronger.
