When it comes to running a home-based Internet Business you can either sit on the sidelines and watch others make money online or you can get in the game.
Let me ask you a few questions to see if having a home-based internet business is a good fit for you?
- Would you like a 1 or 2-minute commute to your computer (home office) or do you prefer to drive miles in rush hour traffic to a “job”?
- Would you like to be your own boss or do you like being told what to do?
- Do you like spending time with your family, enjoying your hobbies and having fun or do you like being stuck in a cubicle?
Pain is a great motivator for most people. From 1983 to 2000 I worked in a cubicle in a high-stress environment for litigation attorneys. In the last 5 years of my legal career, I was so miserable and in such pain, I would do anything to get out. I finally took the leap and went from being in a miserable job that I hated to doing what I love and getting paid for it!
The great thing about the Internet is you don’t have to quit your day job tomorrow to get started. But the key is, you do have to start.
Theodore Roosevelt once said:
“Do what you can with what you have right where you are?”
The 2 biggest excuses people usually give me for getting started are time and money, so let’s deal with each one of those.
Let’s just say you’re flat broke. You make just enough to pay the bills and sure you’d love to have a flourishing internet business, but you just don’t have any money to get started.
Let me ask you a question, when you want something, that you need and you don’t have the money, do you sometimes put things on your credit card? Many people do this and that’s called: DEBT. But guess what, I’m here to enlighten you because there is such a thing as:
Bad Debt vs. Good Debt
Bad debt is owing credit card companies for material things that lose their value as soon as it leaves the store. Good debt is an “INVESTMENT” in yourself that will increase your worth such as:
-
Taking an online course;
-
Ordering Business Cards;
-
Purchase a book;
-
Attending a Seminar;
I can tell you honestly that at least 25% of what I make goes into “investing” in myself so I can learn more and then “earn more”. I am constantly purchasing ebooks, eCourses, books, and going to seminars to learn from people who have more knowledge than I do in a particular area.
DEBT vs. INVESTMENT
If you want to get in the Home Based Internet Business Game then you’ve got to start investing in yourself and stop making excuses. We can all complain about our problems, but you can’t serve 2 Masters. And what I mean by that is you are either serving the “problem” or the “solution”. You must choose one.
Nicole Williams, author of the book, “Earn What You’re Worth” says:
“The line between debt and investment is one of the most frightening, exciting, excruciating, and, quite frankly, the most exhilirating places to be. And this is the most important thing to know — experiencing this line is absolutely necessary to create WEALTH!”
There you have it. If you don’t start investing in yourself and your dreams, you will never experience true wealth which not only comes from having money, but also comes from living your purpose and feeling fulfilled.
I started out 10 years ago with absolutely no knowledge on how to make money on the Internet and I’ve learned a lot. I’ve made a lot of mistakes as well. Because of my 10 years of experience, I am passionate about teaching Women how to start their own Home Based Internet Business and I created a 6-week online course that breaks it down for my students step-by-step.
This 6-week online course has weekly lessons, assignments, video tutorials, eCoaching from me, as well as Q&A. If you’re ready to get started in a Home Based Internet Business and you’re ready to make an INVESTMENT in yourself, then I’d love to have you join my online course: HOW TO MAKE YOUR FIRST $1000 ONLINE.
