The Secret to a Prosperous Life, Online or Off - Part 1You know, I got on the Internet way back in 1994 for the express purpose of somehow creating another stream of income for us, with the goal in mind to eventually sell our offline business and work strictly from home.Not knowing beans about computers-or the Internet-or marketing, really, I plunged ahead. And for a then-53-year-old grandmother, all three entailed a giant learning curve. The computer and the Internet, however, were pieces of the proverbial cake, compared to marketing. For one thing, with everything being so new and fascinating, it was hard to stay focussed. So a jumping-on, jumping-off pattern surfaced, and the pattern soon became a self-defeating habit. You know-that greener grass on the other side . . . And so for the next six-plus years I floundered and flopped. There were mild successes among all the "failures"-and I put "failures" in quotes, because they were not "failures" at all-the only reason I looked at them as such is because I had QUIT! That's right! One program after another. If I saw no instantaneous success, I wrote it off and promptly joined another . . . and another . . . ad nauseum. Now it is April 2001, and a couple of months back I finally realized that I needed to wake up and smell the coffee . . . so I stopped everything and took stock. I mean I really did another take on the situation and FINALLY realized that it has NOT been the fault of the programs I'd been promoting. No, the fault lay within myself! The only real failure I had had was that I had FAILED TO PERSEVERE! Now how many people go into business for themselves off line, set up a store-front business, pay for the rent, insurance, fixtures, and inventory, and then if they don't see major success in 30-45 days, lock the front door, never to return again? Not many, methinks! So now I'm ready to make some SERIOUS profit and have SERIOUS success, because I'm now SERIOUS about my business-even though it's not located in a store-front. Now that I've gotten that off my chest, I'll continue with my next discovery next issue . . . stay tuned. ******************* Feel free to reprint the above article with this info intact: Article penned by Mary Wilkey, publisher of 'elf Expressions Ezine.
