Five Incredibly Simple Reasons Why Far Too Many Dedicated Entrepreneurs Still Struggle!Part Two

So as you previously discovered in part one, (at least hopefully you did!), even though on the surface anyway, it may seem like raising the corporate tax is a really good idea, most of the really sharp real world experts (translated) men & women that have actually owned and operated some form of business, realize that overall, it’s not really such a good idea.

But as we also previously  discussed local, state and federal Governmental policies, (as painfully inconvenient as they can sometimes be) isn’t  necessarily the real reason(s) that far too many otherwise extremely savvy entrepreneurs struggle either!

But just to (virtually) close the evergreen “Hatfield s vs The McCoy s debate about higher corporate taxes or not.

The main point of my little rant was this: if you (unfortunately) are still of the mind that somehow raising the corporate tax rate is a viable solution to whatever….

You definitely need to understand that ultimately (it’s) either the consumers, (through higher prices) or share holders ( through lower dividends) or employees of the corporation (through stagnant or lower wages) that ultimately pays, as a result of a higher corporate tax.

(But not the corporation itself.)

Now another similar situation that could happen whenever your local Mom & Pop business has a vendor that suddenly decides to become unionized.

(Nothing against unions per se! So please no hateful comments and or hateful emails! Thank you very much! Just saying!)

But should that be the case, therefore the cost of doing business with that particular vendor invariably goes up! But again, that’s not necessarily under your control. But the following three remaining reasons why far too many extremely savvy entrepreneurs struggle, these most certainly are!

So Why Do So Many Otherwise Extremely Savvy Entrepreneurs Constantly Struggle  To Make Ends Meet?

Now that we’ve covered some of the all too common reasons (some) entrepreneurs like to present as the reasons (or at least) partial factors as to why they constantly seem to struggle.

Even though they can’t control any of the previous situations presented. Let’s now shift gears and explore the remaining three reasons, over which they most certainly do have control.

3.) Reason extremely savvy entrepreneurs struggle reason # three: (this one is huge!) Failure to automate the right things already! For ex; often times (oh so) reluctant paying clients can obviously see the point of  at least having a website of some kind.

Even if it’s nothing more than of the gloried static brochure variety! But they’ll often as;(Mark!) why the heck  do I/they need a so called paid autoresponder service?

‘That’s just another expense that I really can’t afford right now!” Now granted; of course if they do decide to get a paid autoresponder service, yours truly fully expects them to purchase the service from the company I currently use, since I’m a paid affiliate!

And I readily disclose that fact up front! However, no matter many how different ways it’s pointed out, that they  don’t have to constantly spend money on ever increasing, outrageously expensive newspaper, local TV and or radio ads etc.

 Automate Whenever Doing So Strategically Increases Your Time And Productivity Leverage!

They pay one relatively low monthly fee until their  opt in list reaches (in this particular case) 500, then their price per month increases! But the money they save over postage and typesetting (each time) for periodically mailing post cards etc.

They can more than make up for it by ethically bribing their list into bringing others with them to their place of business for additional savings, cool prizes and other marketing goodies etc!

And you try (typically in vain) to point out, that they could just use their paid autoresponder for their best VIP customers and or clients and just send them periodic (non pre written) broadcast email messages!

(For those of you not necessarily familiar with that particular term just yet. A broadcast email simply refers to an email message that’s not part of your already pre written follow up email marketing message sequence.

In other words it’s an unscheduled email that you send on the fly!) So in the case of a clothing store, maybe their about to discontinue and or do a clearance sale on a ton of ladies accessories! Or they need to clear the summer ware and make room for the fall and winter clothing line etc.

Why not only send a couple broadcast emails to your best 57 (or X number of really big spending female customers), (or prominent local women executives and or managers etc.) to alert them of this once in a lifetime “fire sale!”

And reward (bribe) them with even more savings, for bringing a potential new customer, provided they’re over 21. But alas, they continue to resist economic reality! And don’t want to automate that much just yet! Go figure!

Basically You’re Continuously Struggling Because You’re Not Investing Enough In Product You Inc!

4.) Reason extremely savvy entrepreneurs struggle reason # four: Another reason far too many otherwise extremely savvy entrepreneurs struggle is because they are totally convinced that their business, product or service is X! Huh? And don’t totally understand and or truly appreciate that, while X may be what they do!

If they don’t quickly become at least semi proficient at marketing X! They are either (A.) going to continue to struggle mightily! Or (B.) they’re going out of business altogether!

5.) Reason extremely savvy entrepreneurs struggle reason # five: This last point piggybacks off point # four. Far too many otherwise extremely savvy entrepreneurs are marketing savvy adverse! Meaning; not only do they not readily embrace the fact that they’re not very good at applying basic (proven) marketing techniques, tactics and strategies! And they readily resist trying to learn them as well! Be they for on or offline marketing purposes.

Entrepreneur this is simply a long range recipe for eventual economic disaster! (Seen it happen over and over!) Rather than take (make that invest) 30-60 minutes per day.

After they’ve closed their doors of course! And learn “how to” craft laser beamed benefit laden power headlines, in order to attract 15 to 60% more prospects from the exact same overall ad copy!

They much (prefer) instead to invest an additional hour or two per day mindlessly posting pictures on FB!  (Or other social media platforms.) Or by participating in some can’t win argument on there as well!

Too bad! But in any event, as long they continue to write checks! It’s all good! But hopefully, you get and can appreciate the real point! Far too many otherwise extremely savvy entrepreneurs struggle, for those five main reasons given. Don’t you agree?
