a basic principle in business and marketing that many forget is to take criticism as positive. Whatever criticism or complaint that you do, this contains a message telling that you can improve your business.

And it’s also not forgotten another basic principle in sales, selling is serving. When this is not taken into account, and when the ego is put in charge, the criticism is taken as a threat, and as such the person responds to the defensive and do not look beyond its navel.

The worst that can happen is that your client or your prospective customer to leave without saying anything. Rest assured that is not coming back but the worst is that you’re gone to stay with the problem which he has been, and which will be others.

Conversely, if your customer, prospect or contact you criticize or complain, but you’ll probably lose it in your hands very valuable information to improve your business. What is the reason for your complaint? Can you remove it? Is he showing something you can improve? …

Any criticism is coming from wherever it comes, will contain information useful for improving your business, understanding that we are focusing our business to where it should be focused, to your prospects and customers and not toward your navel.

And it’s not a question of doing anything you tell your clients or prospects, some criticisms can be free, if not stop seeing everything as personal or as the great work that your ego will leave humanity, and seeing our business as a service to others. Why not get paid anything?

It is possible to earn money online. This is one of the messages you convey this to people who start, but you have to know it’s not so easy, beautiful and wonderful as many suggest.

On the negative side of developing an online business stand out 3 things to avoid:

1. The Guru

Guru (mentor, expert, coach, etc) want to fuck you by the hand to lead you to success with your online business. These are people who are as great experts but actually know very little and have no respect for others.

It is very easy you can fall into the hands of one of these characters, because you want to learn and earn, and precisely that, of illusion and ignorance these gurus live. Will promise a successful career, you will get the money they can, you will be asked to surrender their allegiance … and worst of all, compromised by your creativity and your innate intelligence.

This type of characters will tell you to do a number of things, is only worth what they say, and there you’ll see in the worst case scenario: you’ll be doing what someone wants you to do, working for their interests … and then paying for it .

You can lose your money and your time, perhaps these losses are part of your learning, and insurance recoveries, but do not ever let loose your creativity, your imagination and intuition, those are your most precious treasures.

Identify this type of character is easy if you already have some experience in internet, but if you do not have the best thing is to walk carefully and think through who you give your money and your trust.

This is not to say that there is to learn from others, of course they do, but you have to do that really know and do it from a distance, no one will do the job for you and nobody has the magic formula Extio.

On the Internet there is much valuable information, free and paid, that can help you with your learning, information produced by people who, although of course dedicated to business, have the courtesy to share some of their knowledge without the desperation to enlarge their egos gurus.
