Win an AWARD!

Direct Talk On What It Takes to Succeed by Joe Bingham A lot of the time, especially in my humor writing, I am extremely sarcastic about Internet marketing. I make fun of the hype, the advertising, and some of the marketing strategies used. At times, my readers may wonder if I believe there is even a point to the whole thing. In all seriousness, however, there IS money to be made over the Internet, and it can be done legitimately. I've been online working to create wealth from home for close to a year now. I am making money. My business is profitable. I am not so stupid or arrogant to claim that I know everything, or how to do everything. I'm sure there is more for me to learn, and there will never be an end to that learning. However, I can tell you that I KNOW now what it takes to succeed. This is not knowledge gained from reading others' advice, although that helped lead me to it. This is knowledge gained from practical application and experience. If there is any one message I could have reached out with to everyone involved, or even thinking about being involved, in online business, it would be the following: "Making money on the Internet takes time, effort, WORK, a unique, valuable product or a unique presentation of valuable products, commitment, and persistence. However, the potential rewards are GREATER than anywhere else, especially in regards to what one person can do on his or her own with an incredibly small financial investment." There it is. Wonder no longer about the "secrets" of making money on the Internet. That is the first BASIC that you must understand. Do NOT buy any more general marketing information from anyone. All they will tell you is that same thing. From here on out, focus on the specific information you need, and avoid the generalizing products. That one paragraph above IS your basic information as to what it takes to succeed. Look at it again. Memorize it. Hang it up on the wall with my picture and throw darts at me if you want, but read it every time you remove the darts from my forehead. I know it sounds simple, maybe even too simple, but that's half of the point. People looking for instant wealth still skip right over those simple basic concepts. After you've read it for a while, break it down into two parts. One part is what I've touched on earlier in this "Direct Talk" series, the product. It must have a unique value in some way. The other part to that statement is YOU. Time, effort, work, commitment, and persistence are all qualities of the businessman or woman, NOT the business. The business only portrays what the business owner lives. You CAN create a successful Internet business. You CAN make money from home. You CAN be independent and create your own personal wealth. However, it will not happen to you. You have to MAKE it happen for yourself. My business will be around, because I WILL be there to make it work. You've got to do the same for yourself. ------------------------------------------------ "Making money on the Internet takes time, effort, WORK, a unique, valuable product or a unique presentation of valuable products, commitment, and persistence.

INSPIRATION

Excerpted from "The Secret of the Ages" by Robert Collier The secret of all the success of psychology, of all the cures of metaphysics—that God is to each of us exactly what we believe HIM to be—a stern Judge, a blind Fate, an impersonal Principle, or a loving Father. It is up to us to choose which we shall have. But whichever we choose, that is what He will be to us. Of course, God Himself doesn't change. It is simply that He has given us free will to avail ourselves of as much or as little of Him as we wish. When we experience sickness or other evil, it is not He that gives it to us. We have turned our backs on Him, that is all—and just as when we turn our backs to the sun, we see the shadows, so when we turn our backs to God, we get the shadows of poverty and sickness. He has all of life. He has all of health. He has all of riches. And in proportion as we believe in Him and His willingness to share these good gifts with us, in that exact proportion shall we receive. "As your faith is, so shall it be unto you."
