Deciding When It's Time To Throw in the Towel and Close Your Online Business
Not all business plans are viable, and not all online businesses will succeed...
Quote:At some point, most e-commerce business owners face the pain of answering the question 'Should I continue on, or should I throw in the towel?' full article: http://www.ecommerce-guide.com/solutions...hp/3602086 |

Quote:Not all business plans are viable Attempting to do business with no business plan is even worse than having a nonviable business plan. |

Infomercials and eBay's own heavy marketing both bring lots of people without any plan to eBay who are convinced they'll automatically make money by signing up. It's common to hear someone say "I want to open a store. Should I open a basic or feature store?...oh, and by the way, what should I sell and where should I buy it?".

Time to throw in the towel when you are your own worse boss.
I threw in the towel over a year ago when I wasn't making what I wanted to be making and was busting my butt to try to make it work. I so desperately wanted to work from home and be home for my kids. Even when I was home, I was working and the kids were only getting my partial attention. I now am working for "da man" and I love it. I work set hours and I am compensated well. I get to be with grow ups during the day and my kids get a happy mom at night. I have an itch once and awhile to start it all up back again but then payday comes and that itch is scratched. |

Attempting to purchase from hardly any small business technique will be even worse compared to having a nonviable small business technique.
