And the third reason is that the product is not inline with what people need. When the product or service is something that people need, it will be easy to sell. But there might be a situation where the downturn in the economy negatively affects the person's successfulness. For example, a person might have had a very lucrative home business buying and selling houses for a profit. With the loss of so many jobs, so many houses on the market, and downturn in the economy, people are not looking to buy houses. And those who are looking do not want to pay top dollar.
