So, I started L-O-N-G before blogging was what it is today. I loved it for the first few years, then it became something I was desperate to learn something to replace my $5k/mo (not typical) that I was earning. I eventually just burned out, literally debilitating me both physically and mentally, and am now on social security disability. I can never go back to it. I've done ebay for a couple of years, thought that was my internet connection, NOT! So, now I'm working on a blog - I found John Cow's ebook, and I now know that I'll be able to get off social security disability! THANK YOU! I was a transcriptionist for approx 20 yrs!

I’ve done ebay for a couple of years, thought that was my internet connection, NOT! So, now I’m working on a blog – I found John Cow’s ebook, and I now know that I’ll be able to get off social security disability!

Me, I don't have to make a million dollars a year (though that would be nice...really, really nice). I just want to make enough to change my work-a-day life and the way I live it.

Have a plan on reaching those goals. Take action! Goal setting can be broken down into different categories such as spiritual, family, health, business etc. Having specific goals-both long term and short term-that you revisit on a regular basis is valuable for the home based business owner.

Many people fail to set clear goals on what they wish to achieve through internet marketing and so fail to make a plan of action on how to achive it. The secret to successful internet marketing is to decide what you want, work out a plan of action and keep focused on achieving the goal and TAKE ACTION. regards Aly Hi I really enjoyed your post.

If you are lookiing to make some side money, the web is filled with opportunities. If you are looking to build a business, it takes more work, knowledge, and dedication. Executing a simple plan well is much better than fumbling through a complex world beating plan. Great point that we need to know our why and our what.

I remember when i was starting out how many times it looked like it might not happen, and i could have justified quitting but i wanted it too bad and was not going to quit until i did what i set out to. Marie actually said something similar in how she has had bumps in the road and felt at many times discouraged but those times pass... especially when you stay focused on your goal. I guess the way i look at it is life is much more exciting when you take risks and challenge your self to do things you never thought possible. It comes down to a mind set of making yourself believe you are good enough, you will achieve something and it is worth it.

Whatever may be the reason, but I agree with you on the three pointer pretty much. "Great minds think alike" LOL! But I have noticed that in-spite of being such a simple plan to work with a lot of people don't make it because they can't believe that it can be as it is & never take chance on life thinking of it to be a hard thing, you know. Why? Hi Jason,

SOOOOOO... one of the two had to suffer and as a result it was this blog. But i sure did miss it :) Yes.. but it certainly is also a balance of ROI.

The problem with free things is often times people that take free things.. only take free things. That's why you need to give away only part of the solution... have them wanting more and tel them where to get it.

Both were started purely as a way to connect with others in the rather isolated fields of chair caning, wicker restoration and basketry. Over the next few years, my reason for the website and blog changed a bit and I was then focusing on informing my CUSTOMERS about the nuances and complexities of chair caning and collecting antique wicker.
