Thousands of online businesses launch every day, yet most quietly fade into digital obscurity within months. Why? They've skipped the fundamental groundwork that separates sustainable ventures from fleeting experiments. The path to online success begins long before your first line of code or social media post - it starts with proper business foundations that many entrepreneurs rush past in their excitement to launch. Robin Waite transformed his web design agency during the 2007 recession into a sustainable operation with predictable monthly revenue by focusing on these fundamentals first. His approach has guided over 200 businesses to successful growth and become required reading at several business schools. The secret? Building a business that works as a system rather than relying on constant hustle and heroic effort. Let's explore how to create an online business that can thrive without your constant attention.
