Why is success so hard to achieve?

Question

I've tried it all. I've tried selling on Ebay and Amazon. Tried opening my own online shop, I've tried affiliate marketing and blogging.

I've had somewhat success with Ebay and Amazon but they both RAPE me on the fees so it's like I'm set up to fail!

It's not in my nature to give up, but it just seems like there is no light at the end of the tunnel when it comes to entrepreneurial success.

I'm so sick of failing and I just can't stand working for other people. I hear stories of people starting business's and making fortunes and I'm stuck here saying WTF?

I know, nobody is going to give it me but why is it so hard? Why does God have to be a d**k?

Answer 1

If it was easy, everyone would do it. If everyone did it, it would be average.

Therefore, successful people do something above average.  

Colonel Sanders started Kentucky Fried Chicken when he was in his sixties.

Ray Croc, developed the McDonald's franchise when he was in his fifties.

Neither one of them used Amazon or ebay

Answer 2

You are trying in the wrong areas.

From what you have listed, there are hundreds or thousands of competitors doing the same thing. They are all trying to get rich selling the same stuff fromthe same places.

In order to truly suceed, you need to develop a business around an idea or service where there is not much competition. You must also keep an eye out for the future as once you start doing well, others will try to copy you.

Success is not easy and it has different meaning to different people.

My business has changed over the 18 years I have operated it. We have moved into different areas, then when it got too competitive or the internet killed our sales we looked at something that complemented what we were already doing.

It is alot of hard work. You just have to be willing to work hard and be creative.

The affliate marketing. blogging, etc only makes money for the people on top. Be prepared for lots of "answers" that have links to show you how to make easy money. As you already know, most are scams.
