Will eBay Work for Me? Will
This Business Plan Work for Me?
The answer is always the same:
"No, eBay (or business plan, or eBook, or training course, or
consultancy advice) will not work for you, not in a million years!"
It's you who makes a business work, not
someone else; not a book, not a business plan, not eBay or Amazon - only
you!
I
acknowledge it’s usually good to have help to start and run a new
business, but you are the one who does the 'work', not those other
products or people. If you don't follow another person's advice,
if you don't list your products correctly on eBay, if you read a book
about making money and you don't put the techniques into practice, you
will not make money. And it was all your fault, no other person or
product deserves any blame at all.
Taking books as our
example, I promise you a
book can never work for you; a book can give advice and tips, but it’s
you who does the work, it’s you who takes action based on ideas
contained in the book.
And what
distinguishes successful from unsuccessful people, on eBay and
elsewhere, is the fact the former are prepared to find free or otherwise
invest in new learning tools which they are also prepared to actually
use. The latter, the losers and also rans, don’t and won’t seek
out new ideas – the vast majority will never apply those new techniques
and they will constantly rant and rave and seek refunds on the basis
that 'the product did not work for me!'.
