For almost 1-month now we have featured a poll over at InfoMarketersZone asking visitors “What is standing in their way” of achieving great success with their goals for their own businesses.
The choices were – Job/Career, Family, Themselves, Lacking Knowledge, and Ability to Focus — any thoughts on which one(s) lead the pack?
Before asking the question, I would have guessed the vote would have been overwhelmingly that one’s job or career gets in the way of their business success.
Granted – it did get a 20% response, but there were two factors rated higher and they were…
Lack of knowledge
Ability to focus

In fact, the ability to focus led for most of the month, with lack of knowledge coming up just in the last few days.Â
It’s intersesting to see that people take responsibility for their own destiny and don’t blame their job or career for standing in their way. Understanding that you need to learn more or work on focusing is a good start toward achieving your goals.
Within Information Marketer’s Zone we share techniques that help identify markets and topics for your infoproduct marketing business that motivate you, help keep you focused and carry a project through to release.Â
What about you – what are your biggest obstacles standing in the way of achieving your online marketing business goals?
