Internet Business Opportunities

How To Spot New Internet Business Opportunities Without Losing Your Focus
by Tamara Esgoode

Anyone who has done business online will tell you, it can be
overwhelming! The rapid pace of change and the constant inflow
of new information and new business opportunities are both
exciting, AND can also be very distracting! If you have too
many "irons in the fire" then you dilute the effectiveness of
your time and your marketing.

Many internet business beginners make this mistake and then
wonder why they are not making money. How do you keep up with
what you're already doing AND keep up with new trends without
spending your entire life on the computer??!! :-)

Another dilemma faced by internet business owners is how do you
make use of beneficial timing of new opportunities?

Have you ever seen the movie "Defending Your Life?" In his
youth the hapless hero, played by Albert Brooks, is introduced
to an unexpected investment opportunity with a new company. The
young man is afraid and skeptical, and he passes up this
investment which turns out to be with Casio, which later
becomes a multi-million dollar company.

OUCH!!! None of us wants to be in that Unenviable position. Is
it really possible to catch the wave of new business ideas
while you are building your existing business? How do you
choose where to focus your precious time and attention? Here
are three tips to help you

1. Choose Great Mentors

One of the most important things you can do early on in your
online business is to find and work with good mentors, people
who can show you step by step how to build an online business,
how to spot new business opportunities, and how to keep your
expenses low and your profit margin, and your integrity high.
Integrity is key here, because businesses that lack integrity
eventually go out of business. Businesses of integrity contain
the basic ingredients that create a long-term income.

Finding good mentors will help shorten your learning curve so
you don't need to "re-invent the wheel". Find mentors that you
can trust, that share your values, and that can help you to
spot new business ideas and opportunities. A good mentor can
even help you to spot some of the emerging business trends on
the net!

This being said, remember that no matter how great your mentors
are. no one mentor can take the place of your own God given
intuition, also known as your inspiration and your "gut
feeling" or instincts. That's why our #2 recommendation is:

2. Listen Within

No matter how awesome your mentors are, it is crucial that you
always listen to your intuition about whatever new business
opportunity you are looking at. Some folks call this "gut
instincts" or "inner wisdom”... whatever you call it, we all
have it. I encourage you to listen to your instincts when
looking into any new business idea. Instinct and intuition are
VERY smart business partners.

- Does it excite you?
- Do I feel good about it?
- Do you feel good about the people involved?

I have found that my intuition has so far ALWAYS been
beneficial to me and to my business ... WHEN I listen to it!!
:-)

By the way, have you noticed that these first two tips that I
just shared are NOT fancy technologies? They both fall into the
category of the tried and the true:

Relationships!

A good relationship with yourself, relationships with mentors,
relationships with your colleagues, customers and business
partners form the very core foundation of your business!

3. Complimentary, Not Competing

On the internet opportunity abounds, in endlessly complex
niches, all combining with the emerging new technologies of
social bookmarking and Web 2.0. It's exciting, and can also be
overwhelming. You need a business that will work, and that will
provide you a solid long-term income, even in the shifting sands
of rapid change that constantly open up new business ideas.

How do you keep it all in perspective? The key is to choose a
niche, focus your content and information on that niche, and
then add multiple income streams gradually, always keeping the
focus on your niche. Choose well researched, complimentary
ventures that enhance your main business niche. Sometimes you
can plug into opportunities with little or no extra work,
simply by adding a new affiliate program or service to your
site.

Do not promote two competing products or companies that offer
basically the same service, and do not try to be all things to
all people. Multiple income streams can be smart business if
done sanely, with discernment and with your primary business
niche as the focus!

The other way to keep your focus is to budget your time,
spending 80% of your business time focusing on income producing
activities that bring new cash flow into your business. Do your
income producing activities early in the day when you have the
most energy. Leave the administrative tasks to later in the
day, after you've accomplished your daily goals.

By choosing great mentors, listening to your intuition, and
focusing your business tightly around a niche, even an
inexperienced internet business beginner can stay in touch with
new business opportunities, and grow a successful business that
will grow and expand with the times!
