Internet Business Systemization [PDF ebook] 

The ability to do business on the World Wide Web has changed the way people think about companies, especially when it comes to the prospect of owning their own business. It seems as if the Internet is loaded with all sorts of potential, just waiting for the lucky entrepreneur to tap into those vast resources and begin making a fortune. Already millions of people have taken a shot at starting an online business and creating a whole new way of life for themselves.Unfortunately, very few of those millions have actually made it.While there are a number of reasons why an Internet business would never get off the ground, there is one that stands out above all others: the owner failed to learn how to systemize the business and make the best use of all the resources available. This applies to resources within the company as well as online support services that could have made all the difference in the success of the business enterprise.All too often, entrepreneurs have a wonderful idea that has unlimited potential to make money. The problem is that the idea is often all they have.There’s a tradition in the business world that tends to divide businesspeople into two categories. The first category is reserved for those who are known as visionaries. Purportedly, visionaries are the ones with the creative juices to come up with great ideas for products and services. Creativity is the name of the game for the visionary, who can foresee the product taking the world by storm and making a fortune for everyone involved.Unfortunately, the visionary is also considered to be completely devoid of any practical skills that can address all the nuts and bolts necessary to build the network, distribute the product, and generate the sales.The second category is generally known as the drone or traditionalist. Drones are directly concerned with how a business is organized, setting proper schedules for getting things done, and in general has the background and skill set to handle the everyday operation of any business. The drone knows how to market a little, advertise a little, handle the accounting, oversee employees, and basically keep the ship moving along.What the drone lacks is the vision to foresee changes in the industry and come up with creative ways to stay ahead of the competition.What the Internet has done is allow visionaries to explore their ideas to their heart’s content, unfettered by practical matters. While that sounds good, it simply doesn’t fly in the long run. The great idea founders because there is no network to market, sell, and deliver the wonderful brainchild of the entrepreneur.
