Im a newbie looking for all the answers before I get started. I am the type that hates half information...I need to know what Im doing before i get started..so Im perplexed when I hear, "just get started" !! I will, but need to know a little more first..any thoughts or ideas about that? I get mixed input about it. Could use all the info I can get.

I DETEST these people who say "just get started". It ends up with hordes of people who make half-assed attempts at doing something, which inevitably results in failure! Instead of people taking due diligence with what they are doing, and making sure all the necessary steps have been taken... you end up with people who, while they may have "taken action", end up with: 1. poor research targeting the wrong niche 2. incomplete or inaccurate product 3. ineffective traffic generation 4. poor conversion 5. even worse follow up with leads and customers etc... As well as being sidetracked by the latest whiz bang gimmick instead of concentrating on getting the basics right. All in all... an almost total waste of time, effort and money! So maybe that's a post I should get back to work on - it's something I have been trying to do, which keeps getting delayed... and that's going back to the basics and starting from there! Cheers Stephen Marlene… I DETEST these people who say “just get started”. It ends up with hordes of people who make half-assed attempts at doing something, which inevitably results in failure!

Instead of people taking due diligence with what they are doing, and making sure all the necessary steps have been taken… you end up with people who, while they may have “taken action”, end up with:
1. poor research targeting the wrong niche
2. incomplete or inaccurate product
3. ineffective traffic generation
4. poor conversion
5. even worse follow up with leads and customers
etc…

As well as being sidetracked by the latest whiz bang gimmick instead of concentrating on getting the basics right.

All in all… an almost total waste of time, effort and money!

So maybe that’s a post I should get back to work on - it’s something I have been trying to do, which keeps getting delayed… and that’s going back to the basics and starting from there!

Cheers
Stephen
