Here are a few things that could be the cause of your failures.

1. Mixing lots of strategies at a time

Nowadays, there are lots of strategies been launched every week, and the results they promise are always tempting, that sometimes it is nearly impossible to ignore them. Like how is it possible to just ignore strategies that offer you 10 times your traffic, profits, and subscribers.

Example of such offers are;

• Get 50,000 Instagram followers
• Get 20,000 email subscribers
• Build a six-figure online course

The list goes on

It’s normal to get scatterbrained at such offers. So, you now decided to try a bit of these powerful strategies and tactics from all these mentors, and then you blindly mix all these tactics together.

What you don’t know is that you are creating a monster that is capable of wreaking havoc and destroying your businesses and time.

As you work on how to grow your email, you took a shortcut and mix it up with a couple of quick Facebook ads, you also added some tactics you’ve learned about Instagram marketing. The mix now contains SEO hacks, social media hacks, list building hacks, Pinterest marketing, and few surveys.

What gives you more confidence is that you’ve seen online business gurus doing it and getting the result you’ve always dreamt of.

Mind you, every effective strategy is put together in a certain way for a reason. You can’t omit or change these steps without breaking it, else, it wouldn’t be called a strategy but a collection of ideas.

Those gurus you followed are experts at mixing stuff. They probably would have tried it the pure way at first, and then tweak it based on their result to make it work even much better.

Hey! This is my biz and I can do whatever I want with it.

That’s correct.

But bear it in mind that what you want with those strategies might stop you from getting what you want in your business.

My advice: Pick a mentor that has a doable strategy, and then stick to it. Give the strategy the chance to shine in its own way.

2. Doing everything by yourself.

We’ve all at one time do stuff like getting trained as an auto mechanic so you can service your car by yourself.

Maybe you haven’t, but many people take this approach to their online businesses.
