One of the main reasons why business owners build unsuccessful websites is because of feeling overwhelmed. In this short video I share a quick solution.

Hello, Andrew Rondeau here from webuildyourblog.com.
Everything you need to know to build your own successful website can be found online.
And that’s the problem.
There are hundreds and hundreds if not thousands and thousands of websites that will show you how to build a successful website.
The issue though is that website owners go to those hundreds and hundreds of different websites and that’s where the problem lies.
They get overwhelmed.
And they take no action because they are overwhelmed.
Or if they do take some action – website A may say do ‘X’ and website B says do ‘Y’ and the information is in conflict with each other.
And you just don’t what to do. That’s how you feel and you give up.
You take no action and think “I cannot do it”.
So the solution is…ask.
Find someone who has built a successful website.
Find someone who you can trust.
Normally, a business colleague or business relationship and ask them how they built their successful website.
What plans do they have in place?
What actions did they take?
What websites did they follow?
Were they mentored by someone?
So the advice I have for you today is…go and ask someone and stop signing up for all these guides and emails that come into your email box and feeling overwhelmed and taking no action.
Take action…ask someone…find someone you can trust and that’s how you can have a successful website.
That’s it for this short piece of advice and I shall speak to you next time.
All the best. Bye, bye.
Awesome tip Andrew! Overwhelm is haunting the internet and bloggers fall prey to this predator quite easily. Its easy to get lost in the sea of information and that too conflicting information. As you say, a mentor is absolutely necessary – especially in the earlier days of blogging!

Did you have a mentor in the early days? Were they easy to find? How did you go about finding one?

Thank YOU for your kind words – they make a huge difference to me.
It’s a shame so many website owners just skip around, waste far too much time doing things themselves. They could be using their own strengths on building their business rather than trying to deal with everything.
Andrew
It’s about believing you can, and accepting nothing less.
Most people don’t want to live ordinary lives.
Always strive for the extraordinary.
We’ve had great success getting conversions on forums, something my partner Matt talks more about here: http://www.firepolemarketing.com/2013/05/03/forums-firestarter/
Would love your input on that post Andrew!
Just remember guys, keep your head up, if you want it bad enough, and you put in the work, you will get it!
Ryan
…and you’d get it much quicker if you are NOT overwhelmed!

Do you have a mentor?
How do you deal with being overwhelmed?
Andrew
At this moment, I learned all these blogging things from my friend who is blogging from past two years and we both studying in the same college.
Sudipto
Sounds like you have a good friendship!

Andrew
I totally understand your point. Running a business is overwhelming, not just the on-line side.
I tend to use my strengths and ask others to do the things I’m not so good at.

That’s a very sensible approach. I do similar!
Andrew
Thanks for those kind words, Corinne.
Many people think they are failures if they have to ask others for help.
I see it as a strength.
