How to Avoid Making eBusiness Mistakes

What's the best way to avoid making mistakes? Do nothing! Sit down, turn on the TV, and zone out. That's safe.

Fueled by fear of failure, many take the path above to avoid mistakes. While you'll never earn a huge wad of money from an internet business using that method, you won't lose your shirt either.

On the other side of the spectrum, some barrel ahead like bulls in a china shop and make mistakes that harm or destroy their businesses.

Is there a happy medium? Is it possible to go forward and avoid mistakes at the same time?

Well, back in what seems like another lifetime, I used to work as an air traffic controller. That's a line of work where mistakes make the front page of newspapers, perpetrators can go to jail and victims suffer more deadly fates.

Fortunately, such errors occur very infrequently.

How is it possible to avoid mistakes, when 'to err is human'? Although some of my old colleagues appear to believe they are above mere human status, the truth is more mundane.

Rigid rules, standards and procedures are followed to the letter. In the split-second before instructions are given, maneuvers are planned and followed mentally to their conclusion. Knowledge and ability is tested continuously to ensure rigorous safety standards are maintained. Planning and perfect performance results in beautifully choreographed aerial ballets time after time.

Planning aside, mistakes are made. The objective is to avoid repetition of the error. To accomplish this, even the most minor infractions are meticulously logged. Each is reviewed, dissected and studied to determine the best method to prevent a recurrence. Both the incident and its resulting procedures are taught and discussed at training sessions.

The best advice I ever heard about this method of learning came in one of the pilots' magazines I used to read. The accident reports were preceded each month by the same tag line: 'Learn from the mistakes of others, for you'll not live long enough to make them all yourself'.

The good news for those just starting an Internet is that the barnstorming, fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants days of eBusiness are over. True, many businesses crashed and burned. Many more worked to perfect the process and survived to fly circles around the smoking reckless.

Best of all, the mistakes made by those barnstorming eBusiness pioneers have been well-documented and made available through forums, ebooks and courses.

Save yourself time, money and heartache. Learn from them and watch your Internet business soar.
