Having an online business is, without a doubt, the ultimate business. Which other business operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, making you money while you sleep, has extremely low overheads and, can make sales all over the world. It can be operated with a computer from home, you can be dressed in your underwear, and work any hours you want to... who would have thought that the internet would have provided such awesome opportunities.

But why do only a very small percentage of people actually make a decent living online?

If it's so easy to set up, has a small start up cost with every bit of conceivable information available to do anything in your business, why do so many people fail?

The answer is the majority of people become ADHD entrepreneurs.

ADHD entrepreneurs... what the?

In an environment, like the small online business niche, the first temptation is for the newbie to gather every bit of free information they come across and in the process they subscribe to list after list to make sure they get every bit of follow up information.

The net result becomes information overload.

How many lists have you subscribed to? How many emails are you receiving every day and how long are you spending reading those emails and visiting all the links they suggest you look at. If this is you... STOP!

You will never make any money online by reading all that information, it just leads to being an ADHD entrepreneur. You will start a project, read an email about a better strategy and off you'll go with that project until the next convincing email comes in.

It is a no win situation and should be avoided if you don't want to waste months of your life and then realise that you are not making money.

The average person will have a full time job and decide they want to make some money online. Their time commitment is limited by their free hours after work and it certainly shouldn't be wasted reading emails and jumping from project to the next. This only leads to frustration and eventually you will give up.

So what's the solution?

Quite simple really. Pick one Guru that has made it big using a strategy that suits you. It's really easy to do some background checking online, to make sure they are really who they say they are. Visit a few forums and ask a few questions about them. Make sure their strategies suit you and the time and resources you have available.

When you have found that Guru, unsubscribe from every other list you are subscribed to. Don't listen to anyone other than the Guru you have decided to run with. Commit totally to that Guru, listen to their every word, read every bit of information they put out and buy their products. But make sure the Guru is not a 'one hit wonder' in other words they have produced one product, made a million dollars and nothing since.

Look for the Guru that is active and constantly earning more from their strategies. I guess it's the same as a personal fitness coach. You wouldn't consider having 10 coaches that you train with on a daily basis... Well your body certainly wouldn't! You would investigate and find the coach that suits you, the coach with the past results, the coach that walks the talk and then you would do what they say.

Sounds so very obvious, but newbies online always fall into the certain death trap of listening to as many Guru's online as they can.

If this is you, then today, choose one Guru, one strategy and get rid of the online ADHD forever!
