It’s not your fault.
That might sound like a strange way to begin an article about failure, but hear me out.
Most people who try to build an online business aren’t lazy, and they’re not stupid. They’re following the wrong advice. They’ve been fed half-truths and shiny-object promises that set them up for disappointment before they even begin.
I know, because I was once in that cycle myself.
Back in 2010, I believed the same myths that still circulate today: “All you need is a funnel and traffic.” Or “You can copy-and-paste a system and get rich in 30 days.” None of it worked. Each time I failed, my confidence dropped, and I almost believed that maybe I wasn’t cut out for this.
But that wasn’t the truth.
The truth—and what I eventually learned—is that the business model and mentorship you choose determines your success far more than your “hustle.”
Why Most People Fail Online
Let’s get clear about the three biggest reasons people fail online:
1. They Pick the Wrong Business Model
Dropshipping, print-on-demand, crypto plays, “overnight Amazon riches”—all of these models promise fast success. But here’s what they don’t tell you: 90% of people fail in them because the margins are slim, competition is brutal, and platforms can change the rules overnight.
It’s not that they’re impossible—it’s that they’re unsustainable for beginners.
2. They Follow the Wrong Mentors
How many times have you seen a 20-year-old life coach on Instagram promising “financial freedom”? It’s laughable, but also dangerous. When you take advice from people who haven’t built anything real, you waste years chasing illusions.
3. They Expect Unrealistic Results
This is the killer. People quit too soon. Building a $10K/month business doesn’t happen in 30 days. It happens in 6–12 months with the right model and guidance. If you go in expecting instant results, you’ll quit right before the breakthrough.
The Business Models That Actually Work in 2025
Inside the MCS 7 Figure Webinar, Zach Crawford explains there are only two business models worth building right now if you want real wealth:
- Affiliate Marketing (High-Ticket)
- No product creation
- No customer service headaches
- Focus on promoting products that already sell and earn $500–$2000 commissions
- Your Own Digital Products (Back-End Offers)
- Once you’ve built momentum, you can scale with your own courses, coaching, or programs.
The beauty is, you don’t have to figure this out alone.
My Story: Breaking the Cycle of Failure
I’ll be honest: I spent years spinning my wheels.
I bought course after course. I launched sites that never made a dime.
The turning point? Learning from someone who had already done it.
When I stopped chasing shortcuts and started following proven systems, everything changed. That’s why I resonate with Zach Crawford’s story inside the 7 Figure Group Webinar.
He wasn’t born into wealth. He was broke, in debt, and working a regular job—until he discovered the exact strategy he now teaches. His students are living proof: regular people earning $1K, $5K, even $50K+ per month.
The Harsh Truth Most Won’t Tell You
The reason most gurus won’t say this is because it’s not sexy:
Success takes time.
It won’t happen in 30 days.
But it can happen in 6–12 months if you commit to the right path.
And that’s far better than wasting 5–10 years failing in broken models.
What You Can Do Right Now
Here’s what I recommend if you’re serious about avoiding failure online:
- Stop Chasing Shiny Objects – Unfollow the “gurus” promising overnight riches.
- Choose the Right Model – Focus on affiliate marketing or digital products.
- Find a Mentor With Proof – Don’t reinvent the wheel. Follow someone who’s walked the path.
- Commit to the Process – Give yourself 6–12 months. If you quit early, you guarantee failure.
The good news? You don’t have to figure this out alone.
