It is extremely important that we are always aware about who may seem to be giving us “good business advice.” Your personal assessment of good business advice is still very essential.
Real professional advice from those with a proven record of
sustainable success is not easy to receive. It may appear in this age
of internet business, that almost everyone is telling us they have the
“best” and “only” or 'ultimate" way for fast money, profit and success.
Their method or business tools work, they will say, while others do
not. But this is often not this case. The experts with a proven
record of success are not easy to find, in many cases, with the
exception of those large multi-national businesses that dominate the
Internet and Search Engines. The smaller successful business or person
is there, but to find him/her is not easy. While as we search, we
are often being enticed by dishonest persons who really make their
money from those among us who are not aware that their services and
products are not suitable for our business needs. They are often
not concerned about this, but merely to persuade us to pay for the
service they are offering. So they and not us, will really benefit. We
therefore have to be careful.
The legality of some the offers that are presented to us is also questionable.
While those who are trying to sell us products and services may not be
too concerned about this, we who are intended to accept must be
concerned about this issue. So be careful. Likewise, our personal
assessment of the true costs and benefits to us must be done.
Will we get the benefits we desire from this particular product or
service? Does it cost too much for us to pay, and potentially will not
deliver enough desired return, money or profit for us to be
pleased with the product or service? Will we get immediate desired
results at the lowest cost, or will we have to wait six months, a year,
two years and so on? So the true costs and benefits assessment is too critical and essential to ignored by anyone.
The long-term benefit of the product or service is also a matter
general concern. If we will need to acquire the same service/product
after just one month to three months, then we need to decide on the
necessity of this for the long-term. Do we really have the suitable
patience to accept this offer? Many people in internet business are not
concerned about waiting too long for results. They desire immediate
results. So, if we choose the wrong product or service base on our
business and personal desire, we can become disappointed and
frustrated.
Therefore, accepting business advice is still very much a part of good business management. But being prudent about who you take the advice from and the kind of advice being offered, are also very essential. Above all, we
must ensure that the advice is legal and the costs-benefits of the
product or service really suits our immediate and/or long-term
needs.
The best of real business success to you!
