When you start an online business, you quickly become aware of the challenges you need to overcome as a new business owner to enjoy any level of success. Despite your best efforts to resolve your challenges, your business is floundering. Perhaps things are so bad that you’re thinking of just getting a regular job and making someone else rich. You’re almost ready to give up your desire to create financial freedom.
Let’s assume, as an example, that you’ve set up a review website to sell other people’s products as an affiliate. Your challenge is that you aren’t selling enough products to earn a decent living. In fact, your costs far exceed your revenues. As far as you’re concerned, you’ve done everything you know to improve traffic and increase conversions.

While your metrics might give you some statistical information, the meaning of your numbers could be interpreted in many possible ways. Since you don’t know what’s holding you back, it’s difficult to correct it.
