So if you're being totally honest with yourself why is it that you haven't set up shop online and started your own internet business?
I mean cummon...surely you know that once set up the whole shebang runs on autopilot! Okay I get it you are scared you will be scammed right? No...hmmmm, lemme see then. Okay I got it...you're scared that you will fail right?
Look there's no harm in failure, in fact most of todays greatest success stories blossomed through failure. And besides there is a saying that goes: it is better to have tried and failed than to never have tried at all!
Anyway this narrative is about my very own story how I got started with my online web marketing business and trust I have nver looked back or had regrets!
These days it really seems unbelievable that there was time I couldn't pay my rent, was drowning from unpaid bills and to top it all had no idea where the next payday would come from.
Truth be told nowadays I do whatever I want. No longer do I have to get up early in the morning to go slave out a job that I hate. Look I get up really late in the morning or anytime that I wish.
Oh did I mention that my office is just down the hall because it is it's my study!
However let me start this story properly and not back to front. So let's go back to the beginning (well actually somewhere in the middle) so you can see how I ended up where I am today.
This is how it all started; well kinda. A couple of weeks ago my buddy James and I were chatting at some cocktail shindig and soon enough we were knee deep discussing the terrible state of the economy. We were in totally agreement that a recession was rooted firmly in place never mind the fact that the government and the media were saying otherwise.
James told me about his brother-in-law who had lost his job and now his house was in foreclosure. Things for him he said were not that bad be nobody was certain about tomorrow anymore especially when people were losing jobs left, right and center. Plain truth of the matter was that people were losing their jobs everyday!
We fell into a momnet of silence lost in our own thoughts when james hesitantly asked me how was it that my family and I appeared not to have been affected by the deep-six of the economy. I confided to him the reason was because the tanking of the economy hadn't affected me at all.
Truth be told I confessed, business had never been better! If there was ever an expression that best captured sheer astonishment, it was the look on his face. That's when I told him that some years ago I was so desperate I was left with no option but to make money online.
A Short Breath Away From Living On The Street!
In the not too distant past I used to work three jobs to make sure my family had a roof over their heads. You'd think that being bone tired every waking hour would mean that getting to sleep would be the easiest thing in the world. Perhaps so, but not in my world. I had to numb myself with sleeping pills just to doze for a few hours. Crazy huh! Making matters worse, I then had to literally drown myself in coffee to attain a minimal state of wakefulness, enough so as to be able to do my job.
Even then I worried that such a lifetsyle was leading me to an early grave. But you know what? I had bigger worries, namely that there was food on the table and a roof over my family.
Oh! Yet in spite of my best efforts and intentions life seemed to go from bad to worse. My wife and I could no longer see eye to eye because our whole lives then revolved around money; or its lack thereof. It seemed like the only thing that my wife and I did back then was constantly bicker about money!
On The Fast Track To An Early Grave!
No doubt about it...my lifestyle was unhealthy. It is well-known that lack of sleep leads to many health problems and that's precisely what happened to me. Oh, let's not forget the bucket loads of coffee that I was quashing everyday too!
If anybody had told me that I had hypertension I would have laughed at them. In fact that's what I did when the doctor told me; until I realized that he wasn't joking! You must be mistaken I said to the doctor.
I was in good shape... I never smoked...drank only a little and never had a history of hypertension in my family. Besides I had barely turned thrity! I drank rarely and there was no history of the disease in my family. It was impossible! How could I have hypertension? I was barely 30 years old!
In the end the simple truth was that the stress of my existence led to my hypertension.
Those nights I lay awake wondering where, when and if I was going to make a money that week, it definitely took a heavy toll. Fact was if I continued the way I was going there was a strong chance I would be dead before the year was through!
And that's when I realized I couldn't continue living the way I was. In fact it was at that point it dawned on me that what I had been doing was subsisiting let alone living!
Which brings me to a question I have been dying to ask you because the fact that you are reading this lends me to believe your situation is not unlike mine once was. Anyway this is the question:
Do You Know What You Would Do If You Had Financial Freedom?
Foolish of me to ask--of course you do!
I bet you would do what anybody else in the world would do! You would:
Live The Life That You Always Wanted!
Do you know the difference between people who really enjoy life and those who are simply passing through?
The people who truly enjoy life are the ones who are doing exactly what they want to be doing. Such people are easy to spot--they always look happy!
As for the others, the one's who simply pass through life as if it was a series of duties like paying bills and taxes--life to them is just an existence that has little room or time for happiness! They are simply too busy trying to make ends meet they have no time to really appreciate life.
And after you've existed that way for some time any other kind of lifestyle becomes unimaginable! I should know; after all that was me not too long ago!
I Was Left No Other Option But To Make Money Online!
I realized I had to make drastic changes to my life fast otherwise sooner than later I wouldn't even have one. My health was on the blink and my marriage wasn't doing any better either! I needed money and I needed it yesterday!
But what was I going to do? I couldn't go back to school because I evidently couldn't afford it otherwise I wouldn't be in the crummy situation that I found myself in.
I couldn't take another job because there simply wasn't enough time in a single day and besides my body couldn't handle it either. No! There had to be another way; some way that had minimal startup costs yet enabled me to make more money in a relatively short period of time.
So I turned to the internet did some research and learned how to make money online. The rest, as the saying goes, is history!
