Being in the throes of building my own sports shop online I have of course researched what already exists on line including the very best Sports retailer Sports Direct. Research is crucial if you intend building a successful business. It’s not just being able to find out who else is doing similar to you, but what they do well, what they do badly, and what they don’t do at all.
You can’t fail to find Sports retailer Sports Direct, after all they are the market leader both online and off.
Why my interest is even more aroused by them is by the fact who their owner is, namely Mike Ashley the most successful British entrepreneur in the sports retailing, as well as being the chairman of my local football team Newcastle United.
Sports Direct started in 1982 as a single store in Maidenhead trading under the name of Mike Ashley Sports. It has gone on to be
Sports retailer Sports Direct over time has gone on to being established as the market leader. being the UK’s leading sports retailer. They have something like 395 stores across the UK and own major leisure brands like Antigua, Campri, Carlton, Donnay, Dunlop, Golddigga, Lonsdale, Nevica, No Fear, Slazenger, Sondico and USA Pro. Undoubedly one of their incredibly successful strategies is the continued acquisition of desirable brands .
Sports retailer Sports Direct dot com’s online team has aligned the entire web business behind organic search and content, and SEO is a fundamental part of their strategy.
One has to complement them in that with a huge presence in bricks and mortar with hundreds of retail stores around the UK, , they translated this to the competitive online space, and increased the visibility of their business.
To me their greatest strategy has been being able to determine what the market requires and ensure they supply it cheaper than anyone else. They supply a wide range of competitively priced sports and leisure equipment, clothing, footwear and accessories.
Tough competition for a company like ours to follow, but we really do look forward to it.
Over 95% of all online small businesses are currently losing money. But it is very easy to earn a substantial income when you have the right model, you’re in the best industry and you have a passion for both what you’re doing and what you’re selling.
Hundreds of thousands and even millions of men and women over the years have achieved these goals, starting from nothing. Many successful people today started broke or deeply in debt. Often, they started later in life. What others have accomplished, so can you. No matter how strong the competition.
The only question you need to answer is this: How badly do you want it? Once you have decided exactly what you want, and you’ve determined that you’re willing to put it all in to achieve it, you will be well on the road to success.
You need to know that the road isn’t easy, but it’s worth it. It takes hard work, but it takes more than just that. It also takes a positive mindset. And without this special mindset you can’t succeed in building a profitable online business. In building an online business, there are a ton of nuances to learn and hurdles to overcome, and the mental roller coaster you’ll be on will challenge you to your limits.
The writer Dorothea Brande felt that this was the most important of all success principles. She said, “Whatever you sincerely desire, act as if it were impossible to fail, and it shall be!”
Like any business, the amount of hard work you put in at the front end, will be proportionate to the dividends it will pay later. You reap what you sow.
So Sports Retailer Sports Direct show me the way, and if I can build a business anything like there’s I’m going to be extremely happy.
