Do you really believe you can make money doing nothing?

Some of the ads tell you that.

Join the magic program and the money will start flowing in so fast, you won't know how to spend it.

Let's get real.

If you want to make money online it's going to take:

1. Time

2. Effort

3. A lot of trial and error.

There's nothing magic about the Internet.

Building a business is work. Online or off.

The stories of marketers coming online and making $5,000 in 30 days are the exception; not the rule.

Among those that do, you'll find most had a basic knowledge of business and promotion before they came online.

Don't expect to open your business today and quit your job in two weeks.

If you're serious about leaving the 9 to 5 and being your own boss, you'll need:

* Patience

* Persistence

* Stamina

You'll also need to create a solid business plan and follow it.

As your experience increases you'll make adjustments.

Forget about getting rich quick. Make a commitment for the long haul.

There's no free lunch.

If you aren't willing to work hard to build a solid business, save your money.

Rome wasn't built in a day.

Take pride in your business.

Don't try to cut corners.

Work hard and you'll be rewarded.

If you're serious about your future, roll up your sleeves and start building a solid business, with a solid foundation.

You can succeed if you are realistic.

Wishing You Success, John Colanzi
