Dear all the SME boss and business owner,
How you guys handled emotionally when missed a good opportunity in business?

Yes, we quite often heard words like" Life move on" , " God's will" , " what's has been passed, its history, move on to the next opportunity , "learn from it and dont repeat it " etc etc

But deep into the heart, we know that we are regret cz missed the golden boat in front of our eyes. So, would like to know how you guys handle these situations?

Thanks

There are two thoughts for you:

1. If you do really want that opportunity, put much more effort to create another opportunity for yourself.

2. Or, that opportunity does not belong to you, why feel upset for it?

Hope this helps nod.gif

Hey there I'm new in this thread but found this interesting regarding SME business discussions so thought I'd drop by.

Missing good opportunities in business is probably the best thing that could happen (depending how you take it) if you are a start up or in early part of your business.

From these "missed" opportunities, I think we can really learn how things can/could have been done differently to turn the miss into a hit. Without having these "missed" chances, we would never know what we are doing wrong or how we could have done things better. If you take this situation and prepare yourself for the future I'm sure another opportunity would come and you'd be ready to make a "hit".

Unfortunately alot of us just take it as a "what if" or "could have" situation and fall into the same trap over and over again and never progress from there.

But thats just my 2 cents smile.gif

I'm working in a SME-OEM contract manufacturing company for personal care and oral care products and I've seen many brand owners whom faced "missed" opportunities and just give up and never got back up. I've also seen some whom turned the "missed" opportunity into a hit and close the deal later even after being rejected. So i guess it's all up to the individual. Sometimes the "missed" opportunity could be a delayed opportunity for when you're ready smile.gif icon_idea.gif

Yes, there will be missed opportunities in life. but we missed it because of the decision we made not to pursue it.

taking responsibility for your success or failures is number 1 of successful business people.

so next time when an opportunity comes along, calculate the estimated ROI against the risk, and make your investments wisely.

This is due to a hard hit on the face.
Thats the reason I would like to know how you guys handled it emotionally so we wont fall into the same trap a.k.a repeating same mistakes again.

all in all, we are human.. and its always easier to say than done.

Anyone can share real life experience here =)) rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

Emotionally we usually feel like shit and all but one thing I learnt, dont keep everything in and try to man up by yourself. Share the issue with someone older/more experience in the business world. Their advice really means the world because they have most likely been through the same or worst things through their time in business. Their experience really counts when they are counselling you.

Well, I do agree with you as we are human and we have emotion as well. Learn from the past mistake and make sure don't repeat the same things again in the future.

As a entrepreneur, we must learn how to solve problem and deal with the problem, just like the song, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Your life no matter you won something or lost something doesn't mean that is your fate or destination, life is a journey that full of challenge, enjoy it and be part of it.

It's a fake site, designed to harvest your email address. So that they can spam you later.

My experience was like the previous guys. Registered. Activated. Got nothing. Maybe I'll try again later to day since you're so nice to explain it again.

The other reason I isaid fake was because your post said YOU made the ebook. When we go to that site, it looked like somebody else's book, and you just posted a link. Do you mean YOU are the one who created that convoluted way to harvest email addresses before they can get the ebook?

OK. I see it now. The problem is that the way you created the system, it works in a non-intuitive way that confuses stupid people like me.

1. we go to the website, it asks us to enter a name and email address to subscribe to some mailing lists.

What if we don't want our email address to fill up with this mailing list we don't want. The book isn't really free, if we have to give up our email address, be forced to receive marketing email we don't want. The price is not money, but it isn't free.

Well, nevermind. we'll use a disposable emaili address. smile.gif The site's maker have taken care to blacklist some well know disposable email services, but they didn't catch them all. smile.gif

2. we then get an activation email. A button says "click here". We click on it. Our account gets activated. A button on screen says "continue to our website".

3. We click that. We get back to the original website. Were's the ebook?

4. We see that the same form appears, asking for name and email. We click that, it asks us to register again.

5. We click here, we click there. We see no ebook. People gives up then. You're pissing off people you're trying to attract.

6. Later, we notice that a second email came in a short while after the activation email. This second email contains the link to the actual ebook.

The link is here: http://www.internetmarketerguide.com/wp-co...ess-Mastery.pdf

BTW: the ebook says "Copyright © 2014 Copyblogger Media, LLC". Are you the owner of Copyblogger Media LLC? You're Brian Clark? Picture here user posted image

Sorry but you are very wrong about this.
Traffic with no conversion is the same as no $$$
