I believe every entrepreneur at some point or the other has considered or had the thought cross their mind to pack it in and quit. I mean you didn't start your e-commerce business to be abused by customers over the phone or in an email. Neither did you start this business to suffer from low sale volumes or even zero sales!
There are so many reasons why you might want to give up on your drop shipping or ecommerce business. Well, I'm here today to tell you not throw in the towel for the following reasons.
Firstly, if you're at that point of desperation where you're looking to just get rid of your business but feel deep down that it possesses the potential to be success commercially, I would advise you to invest in some new material to educate you on marketing through a new channel.
As you make new discoveries into different ways you can market your website, you will feel a new sense of purpose and focus will seep back in as you look at your business in a different light. Perhaps there might be another way to monetise your website you never considered before.
Joining an online forum or membership site that allows you the opportunity to interact with like minded entrepreneurs will breathe new life into your business. You will find other people who are facing the exact challenges you are facing and have overcome them. If they could, so can you.
A brilliant way to overcome that desire to give up on your business is to find someone desiring to start a drop shipping or ecommerce business and teach them all you know. This has personally worked wonders for me. I had a friend who wanted to start a drop shipping business and I spent time sharing with him all the mistakes I had made plus what worked for me. Over a period of time as he came back to me for more advice, I realised that things weren't that bad and I had allowed some events with some customers dampen my enthusiasm towards my business. Well, I rolled my sleeves and got to work and today that drop shipping business is not only still standing but is growing.
You might have heard it said that a new business takes 2 years to get off the ground. Why quit after just 2 months? If you quit now, let me assure you that you'll quit with your next online venture. Please give your business some time to grow. Give yourself the freedom to make mistakes and then learn from them.
May I also remind you that the present state of your business is not an indication of where or what it can be. Don't give up now, your BIG break could be just right round the corner.
