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.

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.

Gurus of information marketing maintain that you can become wealthy when you divide your efforts and capital into multiple areas. It may sound good at first. After all, don’t all of the financial experts recommend diversification of your portfolio? That’s pretty much the same concept, right? Wrong.

Many of these “get rich quick” programs recommend investing in real estate, stocks, and you own Internet company in order to “maximize” your earning potential.

Most people look at me funny when I tell them I haven’t had a job in over thirty years. I understand; who wouldn’t think thirty years is way too long for unemployment? Me, that’s who. Me and every successful business owner on the planet.

In fact, I really only had one job in my life, and that was for about one year during my teens.

A job could never give me the income, freedom, and control over my own life that I knew I couldn’t live without.

Although I don’t watch a lot of TV I did get caught up in a new show in Canada called Underdogs. The premise of the show is to help consumers who feel; they have been wronged get satisfaction by cameras rolling and TV host going to the vendor and rectifying the problem.

Sort of reminds me of an old joke that said you know your having a bad day when someone calling on you says “this is 60 Minutes.” There were 3 consumer stories on this hour long show I have to tell you I was riveted from a human consciousness standpoint.
