Paul, are you 100% serious about building your own web business...that works?
If you are not 100% serious and committed, don't go one step further. Quit Now! You'll save yourself a lot of pain.
What do I mean by 100% serious?
I know thousands of people who are 50% serious.
They have a niche or area of expertise that they are passionate about, they purchase a domain name, throw up a site, it last about 5 months and fizzles out.
I know hundreds of people who are 75% serious.
They have the expertise and passion, they commit 20-30 hours per week but when their web business only returns $25 per month of income they quit and say it doesn't work.
That's a shame because they are just a few steps away from making it work.
Only about 3 out of 100 are 100% serious.
100% commitment and 100% serious means having the expertise and passion, a willingness to work hard, a commitment to at least 1 year on line using the best tools available on the web and building a web business that works.
To simplify what 100% commitment means, it means:
- knowing your outcome
- taking massive action
- measuring your results
- and readjusting your action until you get your outcome
I was always serious about building my own web business. I started on eBay in 1998 and earned about $1,500 per month. But, that's not what I really wanted to do. Why? I spent 50-60 hours a week answering emails, ordering product, running to the post office to ship product, and handling customer complaints.
But there are many successful eBay sellers who earn thousands per month and don't mind those kinds of activities. I like to be able to leave my home or office and get away every once in a while.
I wanted to build web businesses that once I invested my time and money, I could actually put it on auto pilot and allow it to become an additional stream of income without a lot of additional effort.
Ok. That's doable... but there's a price to pay or maybe I should say a price to invest to get that kind of web business.
Just like any other business you must invest one of two things to make your business a success.
You must invest Time or Money. (you get there a lot quicker if you have both)
If you don't have the money, you must be willing to invest the time.
Forget those people who say just 3-5 hours per week. That's ridiculous! I'm talking a minimum of 10 hours per week.
If you don't have the time, you need to be willing to invest the money. How much?
No...not just $100 bucks. I'm talking about $500-$2,500 just to start your business.
Well, I don't have that kind of money right now, so I decided to go with SBI (site build it). I do have the time to invest and I've decided to go for it!
In my next posting and all of the future postings, you'll get to come with me on my journey and see the building process in real time, step by step, and evaluate for yourself if you can build a web business that works.
