One of the main reasons a wholesale business fails locally or worldwide is because of the lack of reliable and profitable specialized sources. Hundreds, if not thousands, of online mini malls fail primarily because they mistakenly trust in middleman intermediaries, rather than depending on their own due diligence for finding products at the lowest possible price from trusted authorities.

So what can you start doing right now for starting a wholesale business correctly? Simple, the number one aspect of starting a successful wholesale business is focus. Once you have the ideas and your business action plan set up, you need to focus on taking the necessary action toward building such wholesale business niches into profitable ventures.

You need to set yourself daily goals, this is what you are going to achieve for each day. A necessary evil if you ask me for sure, but a fun one indeed. Now, there is a huge difference between having something written and not having anything written down.

Research and experience show that once a retail entrepreneur focuses on achieving his required written daily goals for his business, the chances of getting the job done are increased exponentially. If you do not write down what you need to do, the chances are not completing your task and evidently most of the time, staying stuck for days or for weeks. Keeping in mind that building a wholesale business, like any other business, is a long-term process.

If you do not see profits right away, do not blame the business. Look at what you are doing or are not doing. If you lose focus and jump from thing to thing, you will not be successful. My merchandising business and all my ebay businesses got stuck this way. Learn from people mistakes, more like recognized tests.

So, you have to focus on what you need to do each and every day and do it. Second, if you are starting a wholesale business to evidently become a retailer or sell wholesale either locally or on the Internet, you should buy at the lowest possible prices. This should be obvious, but amazingly, more than 95% of retail stores are not buying merchandise at the lowest prices available.

It is sad to see many websites pull out crappy sites and they go online and fail because they never had a great wholesale distributor or the perfect wholesale list to start with because they failed to do the proper research. Yes you can make good money without the greatest wholesaler or distributor, but is it smart if you do not have a popular image like many online giants or are not fully recognized as a perceived authority? Buy low, sell high- formula has been proved profitable for decades now.

Finally, don not spread your business product line to thin. Instead of attempting to sell anything and everything, choose a main niche and then build multiple sub-niches around it, it is smart for acquiring excellence no matter what business that is profitable you go into. This requires finding fewer wholesalers and distributors, and therefore reduces your chances of failure when starting a wholesale business today.
