Logical Soul Talk: Business Failure Reason #2
Posted by: | Comments
Home Business Failure? Or Success?
Be sure to tune in to Logical Soul Talk on Tuesday, November 22, 2011 when I will reveal the #2 Reason for failure in your home or small business. You can listen online, or call (347) 843-4544 to listen on the phone, or press “1″ to raise your hand and join the conversation.
Previously (before I lost my voice, that is) I detailed the #1 Reason as being the failure of inner commitment, money acceptance, and self-worth. Without these things, you never develop a sufficient-enough “why” to overcome inner objections, and your home business will fail.
The #2 Reason is a little more traditional . . . but you’ll have to tune in to find out. See you there!!

Home Business Success: The Hidden Reality
Posted by: | CommentsThe job market sucks. That wouldn’t be so bad if not for the fact that it has been sucking for the past two years, and there appears to be no relief in sight. You know it. I know it. Let’s not kid ourselves. So what do you do before your unemployment benefits run out . . . assuming you still have some?
Home Business Success?
For a rising number of Americans this means start a small business or home business. They figure they will have little overhead, get to be their own boss, spend more time with the family, and hopefully soon be one of those financial success stories they often see on late-night infomercials.
While that may be true for some, the hidden reality is this: success in small business is never guaranteed. In fact, you will probably become a failure statistic within ten years, and most likely one during the biggest drop-off: within 5 years. This is when over half of all small businesses go OUT of business.
Below is data from the Bureau of the Census produced for the Office of Advocacy of the U.S. Small Business Administration.
While this data looks at new single-establishment businesses, the failure rate percentages are almost identical for all types of small businesses, including home businesses. These are pretty much the survival rates of new firms over ten years . . .
Ten-Year Small Business Survival
These failures, by the way, have causes. You want to know the #1 cause . . ?
Going into business for the wrong reasons!
Home businesses are particularly vulnerable to wishful thinking and illusions of grandeur. This is primarily because the new business owner or CEO has often only worked for a salary, and hasn’t a clue about what it really takes to be in business!
In Georgia, you can form a corporation for $100, get business cards printed up for $10 and hang up your shingle. But this doesn’t make you a smart business person. I know – I’ve had these illusions myself and formed several companies most of whom, by the way, did not survive over 5 years.
What I had to learn – as I assume most of you will need to learn as well – is that there are consequences for NOT knowing yourself, what motivates you, and what hidden decisions you have made that actually prevent you from seeing the truth.
I’ve come up with 7 different and fundamental ways you actually sabotage your home business success, and will cover these items over the next few weeks. Stay tuned.
Logical Soul Talk: Working Moms and Social Media

Jackie Tulos
Jackie Tulos is a working mom with over 21 years of experience in the dental industry. But there was a time when her challenges met an opportunity.
In 2006, Jackie’s mother had cancer, she had three kids, and needed more time to spend with both. So she looked to the Internet as a possible solution.
Ms. Tulos will talk about these and other challenges (and opportunities) as Michael’s guest tonight on Logical Soul Talk at 6 pm. Learn about some of the struggles she has overcome, and her continued efforts to balance two careers and a family. Ms. Tulos will also touch on her current passion: teaching small businesses how to brand themselves using social media.
Since 2006, Jackie has become one of the leading experts in small business-related Interent marketing. Through her own small company, Infinite Possibilities Marketing, LLC, she works with clients to help them build an effective online presence, raise their Google ranking, and increase traffic. She shows how this can be done from her own blog/website.
In the beginning, she admits, it was just about convenience. “It (Internet marketing) was a great business to start,” says Jackie. “I could do it any time of day, 3am or 1pm. This was great because I never knew when my mom was going to need me.”
Today, that business is growing enough to where Jackie soon hopes to quit her “day job” and devote full time to her passion. With help and support from her husband Joe and her three children, Madison, Taylor and Blake, she is getting there quickly.
So if you are a working mom looking for home business ideas, want to learn more about social media, or a business that just needs more customers, tune in tonight to learn how to turn your hassles into opportunities. The call-in hotline is (347) 843-4544.
