My greatest dilemma when I first started doing my online business is that I have no idea where to start..or what I'm gonna do first..^^

I'm lucky I found lots of information in the web that helped me start my own online business faster and easier..^^

I think knowing what to believe is my biggest problem. I do not want to miss lead anyone so I spend so much time trying to find proof of what I am saying.
I also find that going against what some of the Guru's say can get people upset. Many people have read the books & articles written by guru's & if you want to try something different people think you are crazy.

I guess I don't believe that anyone reads the stuff. I know I don't. Who has the time?

I would like to sell products from the wholesaler for my herbal business, but have other things I offer also - coaching, and health programs - I do not want to get caught up taking orders and shipping products out and do not know how to hand this over to someone else or where to go to find this info.

You have my name over the last comment which says, " I don't believe people have the time to read this stuff. that is not my comment - mine is the one about herbs. it looks as though it is the one below that, doesn't it? Because of the line underneath. Just mentioning.

Who has time to read stuff on the Internet? Perhaps you don't. 1 billion people do, however. I don't have the latest figures of online purchases, but in January there will announcements of how much holiday shopping occurred online.

I think one of the Big Traps is that people see things through their own eyes, and don't realize that there is a huge world out there with people who will buy anything and that passions drive people to search and buy things over the Web.

Just because you don't have time or a web-purchasing habit, doesn't mean that the rest of the world is like you.

The reason one can pay attention to certain gurus and best practices when it comes to Internet marketing, is because some things work, and some things don't. If you have an idea that's different that nobody's tried yet, we'll call you crazy until you make a million and then we'll call you a guru...

My #1 trap is not 'Letting Go'. Always needing to know more, get it right, feeling empowered by spirit to work on something, then the inevitable crises, interruptions and distractions . . . and wondering why I'm suddenly overwhelmed by all I have to do. (Did I mention becoming whiney too??)

Run a low budget, low profit Goddess site and never feel like there are enough dollars coming in to hire the help or organize/train them. Am I the only short-sighted perfectionist out there?

My biggest thing is not knowing where to start. But I am getting there bit by bit.
