Did You Check Your Statistics Today?

by Leave a Comment

Chances are…you did. If you didn’t check them already, you’re probably going to check them later today. There are more statistics for us to check such as blog traffic or number of Twitter followers. Checking the statistics is just as bad as checking the inbox: we can’t get out of it.

I check statistics 10 times every day. When I think I am done for the day, I check the statistics of something I ignored or didn’t even know I had. I check the statistics more than I check my email.

There is no way that I am alone. Statistics are used by a lot of people to track the growth of their business, blog, product, and so on. Statistics store information years back, and we can easily access it.

Statistics are valuable to our business, but looking at statistics for too long can stunt business growth.

The Movement

by Leave a Comment

When I was looking through my email recently, I noticed an opportunity for entrepreneurs to share their tips. I knew that this opportunity was for me. I knew how to explain the answer to the question very well. The question involved pricing products and services, and with multiple books, I knew I would be good at explaining it.

Then the problem came up. The age restriction, again. Entrepreneurs aged 18-40 were the only ones who could submit responses. I got other opportunities which I was able to answer, but the age limit bothered and restricted me.

Denial comes in many shapes and forms. There will always be that one person or group of people who deny you no matter how good you are. Choose yourself and create your own movement. Your movement will have the potential to impact the lives of millions of people.

The movement that I am creating is Teenager Entrepreneur which is a program that I will be launching very soon with my brother. Teenager Entrepreneur will show teenagers how they can start their own thriving business.

Everyone Is Unique

It is true. Everyone is unique in their own way. However, no one knows that these people are unique. People forget to mention their talents and why they are unique in their bio.

Many successful bloggers have a long bio. Those bios contain a lot of information about the blogger. These bios explain why the blogger is unique. A bio that expresses how unique the blogger is will allow that blogger to stand out from the crowd.

What makes you unique? What talent do you have that few people have? These are the questions that you have to answer in the bio of your blog, website, Twitter handle, or any other online presence that you have. Then you will be able to stand out from the crowd, and when you make yourself stand out from the crowd, you will get more visitors.

Do Or Don’t

You decide whether or not you get your goals accomplished. You are your own tool for success or your own tool for decline. It depends on how you use your talents and get them done. We all have unlimited potential, but showing off that potential is the challenging part.

Do what you want to do. Do your work. See the results. Make things happen.

Cows Are Business Models

by Leave a Comment

Cows are farm animals that produce milk. Cows are also a good business model for entrepreneurs to follow. It seems as if more people are teaching people good business models through stranger methods, but this one does apply.

I look at a lot of random facts, but there was one fact that caught my eye. You can lead a cow upstairs, but a cow will not go back down. Everyone wants to increase sales and never plummet, but that is not the message this fact should give.

Cows are lead by a person to walk up the stairs as we are led up the stairs by good mentors. Cows cannot go down the stairs, or back into the past. Cows can only continue from where they are.

There are too many people looking back into the past, or what should have happened. Cows can’t walk back down stairs, and when you are working on your business, neither should you.

Entrepreneurs Take Risks

by Leave a Comment

There will be a point when an entrepreneur will have to make a risk for his or her business. Does the risk pay off? Not always. Are risks good to take? It depends on the risk. All of the risks entrepreneurs take make them different from everyone else.

A week ago, I talked about how I would increase the frequency of blog posts from one post every day to two posts every day. True to my word, the first one comes at 9 a.m. like always, but the second one comes at 9 p.m.

I haven’t seen my traffic stats go from 100 visitors a day to over 1,000 visitors a day just yet, but I haven’t seen my traffic stats go from 100 visitors a day to 50 visitors a day either. Everything is remaining constant. By looking at my traffic stats months later, I will be able to judge whether or not I made the right decision.
