One Thing Far Too Many Aspiring Entrepreneurs Do That They Really Shouldn’t!Part Two

As you previously discover in part one of this ongoing series, about “how” unfortunately far too many otherwise extremely savvy aspiring entrepreneurs have a tendency to choose (at least when it comes to) practical application anyway, they’ll choose to try and climb Mount Everest, as opposed to simply climbing five flights of stairs.

Now just to translate that last passage into simple every day  layman’s terms, just in case you’re starting with part two of this series and not part one. Instead of choosing a really short term money making project of some kind, that could easily be accomplished (start to finish) within one or two days max.

Sadly, far too many aspiring entrepreneurs will choose instead a far more involved -potential money making- project of some kind that at best, will take (start to finish) anywhere from 3-4 weeks or more!

And of course,  more times than not,  about a week to ten days into this “brainstorm” reality starts to set in and they end up scrapping the entire project altogether! Who honestly, can’t say they at least have “been there and done that” on more than a few occasions! ( For sure!)

But one rather semi positive quality this particular aspiring entrepreneur seems to have in spades is this!

Yours truly is definitely of the “mindset” that says, let’s start with an $89 dollar – or less- flip cam and once (or after) things get rolling pretty good, then let’s invest the $500 dollars or more in one of the more advanced James Bond type of cameras and set up!

This way at least the videos will be uploaded – if nothing else- to good old youtube and hopefully other video sharing sites, and they can start (systematically) driving some semi targeted traffic to my  lead capture page.(No matter “how” little the semi targeted traffic is!)

So Why Do So Many Aspiring Entrepreneurs Fall Way Short Of Accomplishing Their Totally Achievable Goals?

The main reason and inspiration for this follow up sequel post, is because of a comment I received in part one, by the absolutely brilliant IT and SEO expert Sherman Smith! You can and should read this excellent post he did on “why you may not be consistently reaching your goals!”

In his excellent comments in part one, Sherman so eloquently pointed out, that one of the biggest factors that far too many aspiring entrepreneurs fail to consider, is the total time cost factor that will most certainly be involved, in order (to first) learn the basic skill(s) and then get competent – and or master- them!

That’s potentially freaking huge and it’s so true! And that’s probably the main reason why so many  aspiring entrepreneurs end up scrapping their “brainstorm” money making idea(s)/projects altogether! Because of the enormous “competency” time factor that’s involved in mastering (getting competent) enough to monetize the skill(s) their pursuing!

Case in point; a while back, yours truly had this totally brilliant idea for a marketing video! Basically I was going to slice together some screen capture footage of a Power Point slide presentation I had planned, but embed the classic scene of Jack Nicoholson’s character (Colonel Nathan Jessup)  telling Tom Cruise’s character ( Lt. Daniel Kaffee ) “you can’t handle the truth!”

Entrepreneur It’s More About Moving Off Center Than It Is Completely Nailing Your Very First Try!

Ladies & gentlemen, if I do say so myself, it was going to be absolutely brilliant! Spectacular I tell you! But you know what? When I inquired about the practically of it to my video marketing guru  Coach, Julie Weishaar, she quickly reminded me, that while my project was indeed noble and was certainly very doable by the right video marketing expert with the right set of skills, such as herself! (You so have to check her out, because she totally rocks!)

It was still just a little beyond my current pay rate set of abilities! And therefore maybe I should shelve the idea just for now. Until both my practical video making and marketing skills and capabilities matched my Atlantic sized ocean ambitions!!

(Of course I reluctantly agreed and temporarily canned the blockbuster video marketing idea for now!)

But here’s the real point! To date,I currently have 427 (rather boring) Power Point type of screen  capture videos, (which just means, I’m not physically in front of the camera.) Instead, they see what’s on my computer screen,and I simply narrate the videos, hence the name screen capture type of videos.

But believe it or not, those “C” level “how to” instructional videos still manage to consistently generate some semi targeted opt in leads 24/7. In spite of the fact they can’t even begin to compete with the likes of video marketing experts such as, my video marketing guruette Coach Julie Weishaar, Brandon Lucero and or James Wedmore etc!!

They don’t have to! You see, as long as I or you have our marketing fishing poles in the water and we’re targeting the right audience! Guess what? We’re gonna consistently generate some bankable results!

But hopefully, between these two installments you can appreciate why far too many aspiring entrepreneurs really need to stop over complicating things! Don’t you agree?
