    Hi

    Small Business Threat # 1: Financial Forecasts, World Events. Listening to financial forecasts and other voices of doom is a serious threat to your equilibrium and momentum. With bad news it's too easy to make excuses. And, when boom times come, it's far too easy to let up and lose focus.

    The recent recession, if it ever happened, did not affect everyone equally. (The definition of a recession is two quarters of 'negative growth'. You never know until much later if it really was a recession.) Some people took it very seriously. Others did not.

    Small Business Threat# 2: A reactive mindset. If you take a 'wait and see' attitude, you'll find yourself in trouble so fast it will make your head spin. One of the first things I look at when assessing a company is their "reactive/proactive pulse". No amount of excellent marketing information or strategy can turn around a company if the key players do not have their heads screwed on straight.

    Small Business Threat # 3: Competitors with superior positioning. This is perhaps the most serious threat of all. If someone in your market has preemptively positioned their company, you are forced into a defensive position. If you think that's okay, just imagine that you are Heinz Ketchup's biggest (yet relatively unknown) competitor and repeat the following statement five times: "It's also not Hunts!"

    Keep sharing and reading

    Thanks

    Hello to all

    1) Target the Un-Targeted:Know your customers thoroughly and target those needs that are unseen by your competitors.eBay is a bright example. eBay was quick to recognize peoples' desire to earn economic profits by trading second-hand products. eBay realized the need for a platform where such buyers and sellers could meet and trade. ECommerce technologies helped eBay to create the required platform required and the rest is history.When you are new to online business- Start Small but Start Right.
    2) Strong Business Planning:Have complete knowledge of your revenue source, reak-even duration and other important strategic details from the beginning, and decide on the milestones that are to be achieved. You should know the right moment to expand your business and plan for future sources of revenue.The Internet business has a cruel history of bringing about disastrous changes at phenomenal speed. Be prepared to face such upheavals and have plans in place to manage such turbulent times.
    3) Business Friendly ECommerce Software: Always choose software that is easy to manage and allows you to focus on your core business activities.

    Have a nice day

    All very good points, and there are many more considerations during the process. Being creative(proactive), using the imagination are strong keys. Another good point mentioned above is knowing what the successful folks are doing and doing it better. While this method won't catapult your business, it enlightens you on things that work that you may not have thought of. Innovation and foresight are important. And I agree, if you listen to the media - the sky is falling - you destined for mediocrity at best. There are many, many thought provoking ideas avaiable that can certainly stiimulate your own creativity. Keep an open mind and keep searching.

    Knowledge is essential for every business. Consider whether you have adequate knowledge to conduct the new business. For example if you have chosen web designing as your business you must have knowledge in that niche. Or, you should be willing to acquire knowledge. Often it is better to start a new business in areas where you have substantial knowledge.
    3.Getting started
    Once you have identified the business for you and have the know-how in place, it is time to get started with your online business. The key ingredients to success are consistency, dedication, and patience. Understand that there are no overnight magics. You must put in quality work which is more of intelligent work rather than hard work. The internet world calls for less of hard work but more of intelligent work.
