Why is it that 95% of businesses fail in the first five years? You would think with all the information and help available to any new business that their success would be virtually assured. How can it be that only a select few have all the success and the rest die slow painful entrepreneurial deaths?

The answer is a simple one and the solution is more complex. You see most new business owners won’t put the time into learning something new each day to help them in their business. Instead they keep doing they same thing each day and expecting different results. By the way is that not the definition of insanity?

One of the easiest and quickest ways to become the expert in your field is to write your own book. It is easier to write a book than most people realize. Not only is it easy, it can bring in more and better paying customers quickly and yet almost no business owners, sales people, consultants or coaches are doing it.

The reason many say they have not written a book is they come up with excuses such as they don’t have the time or that they are perfectionists. Both excuses are just a load of crap expressed by business owners who don’t know how easy it is to write and publish their own book.

Most small business owners don’t focus enough on marketing and struggle to make a profit. Many small business owners put 90% of their time into the day to day operations and only 10% of their time into marketing.

This can be a very costly and even risky mistake to run your business like this. You can delegate most all of the day to day business tasks to employees or subs leaving you with more time to develop a more consistent results producing marketing plan.

Marketing your small business should be the task you spend most of your time on. Most small business owners spend most of their time on activities that could easily by given to others and very little time on the most important activity which is marketing their small business.

Following are 3 secrets to use to make sure you are spending your time where it will bring the best results for your business.

1. Make sure that what you are doing is not a $25.00 per hour job that can be done by someone else because if you are you will be doomed to a financial life of making only $25.00 per hour.

Many of us have at one time or another had goals we wanted to achieve but unfortunately most of us don’t achieve them. Of course the leadership Guru’s preach you must have goals because if you don’t have a destination you won’t get there. They are right but unfortunately only partly right.

The reason most people don’t accomplish their goals is because their goals are not who they are. Let me explain. If you were an Olympic runner how would you ‘be’ or live your life? You would ‘be’ a person who trained many hours per day, had a very disciplined workout regiment and breathed and slept Olympic running. Your passion would be that of an Olympic runner.

Being an entrepreneur most of my life has meant I have learned a lot of great information. How has the great information helped me? Well first let me say that I love to learn but on the path to success some of the information has probably hurt me more than helped me. Let me explain.

Well along with the phenomenal success of the Secret and its skyrocketing sales spreading around the globe we of course are now getting the detractors. Last night on Larry King several of the Secret teachers from the movie were back to talk about the Law of Attraction. Included with the guests were some of the naysayer’s as well.

One naysayer went so far as to say that the Secret could be harmful and there is no proof that it works. This is a common theme that the naysayer’s bring up about the Secret, that there is no scientific evidence it works.

I have been a entrepreneur since I was 12 years old and have been running my current business for over 30 years. Article writing was not a big part of my day to day activities until I decided to help some other businesses with the information that has made my businesses successful.

I have to admit that I was a little reluctant and intimidated by the many good article writers I read on a daily basis but I have to tell you that you can not let that stop you. There will always be someone who is a better writer than you no matter what level you are at so you have to let it go and just decide that good enough is good enough.

Consider this! 95% of all new businesses go broke within 5 years and another 80% of those still left standing go under in the following 5 years. Now depending on how you look at life it could be a curse or a blessing if it happens to you.

You see once you go broke it makes you a little more focused on how you’re going to buy your next meal. Sad that it takes this kind of wakeup call to get our attention but at least after a bankruptcy we are more open to learning a new way of doing business I hope.
