Working Online - Endless Possibility

Start a typical brick-and-mortar enterprise, hire your staff, buy your supplies, pay the light bill, put a sign up for passersby, advertise in the local paper and media, get an ad in the Yellow Pages and start sending out direct mail materials. Start-up cost: $20,000 (before monthly overhead). Potential reach of marketing campaigns: a few thousand people. Time to return on your investment: minimum TWO YEARS.

Now compare the typical internet startup. Build out a website or landing page, set up a marketing funnel, buy a domain name, utilize internet marketing strategies to generate leads. No inventory, no payroll, minimal overhead. Start-up cost: $20,000. Minimal monthly overhead. Potential reach of marketing campaigns: 1.5 BILLION people. Time to return on your investment: a few months.

That's the power of the internet. Very little startup cost, very little overhead, a little bit of strategy, and it's all gravy. See the reason this idea has been catching on?

Buy into a traditional franchise or brick-and-mortar startup and you are instantly married to your job. The idea of a vacation goes out the window. You're still commuting to work every day, but now you're waiting to see some kind of benefit from all that effort. Work online, though, and now you can work anywhere, anytime - from Boston to Bermuda to Bangladesh.

What sets net-preneurs apart from traditional business owners? Often it's simply a matter of vision. The online marketer is capable of seeing a wider picture of what is actually going on in the world of internet business. The playing field truly is leveled between the online entrepreneur and everyone else. Set up a traditional business and there is no such thing as a level playing field. You are immediately forced into hard-line competition mode.

Working online offers virtually unlimited growth potential, or potential that is limited only by imagination. Interestingly enough, the secrets of internet marketing are OUT THERE FOR THE TAKING. Top earners are willing to share the insight for what it takes to build out a complete business. I started with absolutely zero knowledge about internet marketing, coming from the typical corporate background. But after working through an outstanding mentoring program and utilizing the education tools available, it only took two months to be generating money-making results online. TWO MONTHS. This exact system is available to everyone out there to learn and duplicate.

I have to wonder what holds people back from doing this. Some see the value of a great opportunity like this instantly. They dive right in and start building successful online businesses. For others, skepticism holds them back from taking the next step. There's a definite difference between those with the true internet entrepreneurial spirit and those who 'window shop' online business ideas. One waits for something to happen, the other goes out and MAKES it happen. Had I been unwilling to take the risk and take that next step, I'd still be sitting in an office working in an environment that left me worn out and frustrated every single day. There's no way to describe what true freedom feels like.

Has it been easy? No. This has been work. Has it been worth it? I would never dream of going back.

As time goes on, my efforts become more and more about surrounding myself with people who have extraordinary attitudes. People who are proactive and willing to learn something new that has the potential to completely change their lives. I also want to talk to those who've already built successful businesses. If you're an entrepreneur at heart, then I see you as a kindred spirit and we have something to discuss. If I can do this, there is no reason that absolutely anyone else cannot duplicate the success I've enjoyed through an internet system that cannot be beat.
