Hello: Best Decision Part One: I quit my Day Job to become a home-based freelance writer. Best Decision Part Two: I decided to set my writing rates at a professional level so I would be paid properly for my writing services. The result is, my writing clients respect that, and I am MUCH happier and more relaxed doing the work! Spin-off Result: This has allowed the time flexibility to also pursue my interest in developing an Internet Marketing business. GT |

I quit my dads business, entered into IM and earning 2 times better than my dad's business, but let me tell you this was not the best decision I had made. The day I had believed in my self was the best decision maker for me. |

Best Decision that I've made in the past 3 years? Accepting responsibility for my actions... Both good and bad. So all my successes are owed to me and the failures likewise. |

Best decision of my life (after graduating highschool in 1996), was studying *seriously* proven avenues of money making, business, marketing, investing. -Means turning off the tv. -Means de-programming myself from highschool and college brainwashing. Remember in highschool, they tell you you'll be a loser flipping burgers at mcdonalds if you don't graduate. Yet, they don't teach anything related to money making, business, marketing, investing, IM, etc. De-programming yourself from half the things you've learned in life is half way to success. -Basically, enterly re-educating myself. Not easy. Considering the culture has become so dumbed down. "Balloon boy" is the news now days. -Also, there's so much junk out there. Look at the number of financial gurus on tv who were wrong last year about the financial crisis. Basically, I'm coming up with my own model of the world that will allow me to either do investing, marketing, IM, or any proven avenue of money making for the next 10-20 years. In any type of financial climate, good or bad (boom time or recession). Learning how to make money in a recession is probably the best training ground you could have. And also enjoying things along the way Best decision has been unplugging myself from the matrix of society.

To take action and build a website. To realize that you have to spend money if you're going to make money and that we all have dreams and that most will never realize them because they spend so much time thinking about it and never do anything to realize it. With that said I did more than build it.. I have developed a new marketable skillset that has created opportunities that did not exist before. |

| The best decision Was actually made a few years ago when I really decided to give earning money online a chance. That is almost freedom to me. Being able to earn more money than other people who go to a job every single day. But instead of going to a job, I just work in my home by my computer and being creative for as long as you want. Other people who seriously thinking about quitting there job. Hmm If I would be you, I would do it. Based on how good I live today. I mean the freedom that you have. Wow. Is it really worth living life it that means: 1. Study in a school. 2. Study more. 3. Study more years. 4. Finally get a decent job, but not so good money - Not always. And a boss that decides upon you. What do you think? The answer is pretty clear to me... Good luck :-) Regards, A.N |

Easily for me it was quitting my well paying job that I hated and getting an online mentor/coach. It is so important to have the right type of direction when you are doing something like this. Learn from someone else's mistakes and make sure that you are always doing something to make it happen.

I went a similar path. Strong academic record, 2 NYS colleges. And yet no job, no career and up until 3 years ago no skills that would make me money if I didn't have a boss to hand out the checks. Working from home didn't just change my income, it changed the way I looked at everything. It made me stop being afraid for the first time that I might fail. Because it taught me that failure is the only way to learn, something you prolly won't catch between K-12 schooling. | |

Abandoning the urban/suburban life and moving to our farm. Deciding to have children after 13 years of marriage. Stop consuming broadcast media. Stop working with a pre-programmed mindset that was inherited from my childhood upbringing. Started working with a new mindset that places what values are important to me at the center.

Without question it was changing my diet to more natural foods, less grains and sugar. My energy went through the roof! And I have more mental focus and get more done. It was the impetus to taking my life and finances in my own hands. |

To treat myself as I treat others. I always look for the best in others foremost and accept people where they are at. Now I try and extend the same respect to myself more consistantly. It is Wonderful to let myself off the hook so much more ![]() AND accept where I am right now is Perfect for me as I do my best with what I know in the now moment. |

I took one decision 3 years ago - i've quit my job, sold all of my stuff, quit my appartment - put all my life in 3 big bags and move to an other country...Canada It was good in the sense where i felt alive -- freedom of live... but i came back 1 year and half at home...and i decided to make a turn around the world - in fact it was a big trip in 2 countries - i came back and since this period i feel in a standby position - should i stay - should i move...but i know that things will never be the same - when you taste a feeling of freedom - no matter what is it - you can't come back in a close space... |

Having a mentally disabled brother, I became a personal fitness trainer and using my knowledge when working with organisations in finding ways to help mentally disabled children become more mobile and active. It may only be a few hours per week and I do it for free but it is definately the best and most rewarding thing I have done and wouldn't change that for the world |

| The best decision I made in the last three years was to go to Armand Morin's "Big Seminar 13" in November 2009. I was intimidated by the prospect of going because at that point, I had only read about, gone to a couple of local workshops, and wished about - internet marketing. I didn't think that attending that event would be appropriate for someone like me, without any real knowledge or experience . . . let alone a website . . . Well, I went and I was pleasantly surprised to find people at all different levels of their internet marketing careers there. There were plenty of "newbies" like me. So, I felt very comfortable. I learned a lot, had an amazing time and met so many wonderful people. The whole experience was exactly what I needed to kick myself into gear and get moving on this new element of my business. I found the type of work that fits me offering opportunity for creativity, challenge, growth, camaraderie, and what I see as unlimited financial potential. I'm just getting started, but I know that I am on the right path! |

The best decision I made was believing what I believe and not what I was supposed to believe. It's amazing the way the world looks when you don't look at it through the tinted glass society forces on you. No more thinking with conservative ideals but instead the ideals that I actually have both democratic and republican. No more looking at the world as a Catholic, but instead as a human being. Personally finding the things that make me who I am, instead of finding the groups who make me who they want me to be. Every year we're forced into smaller and smaller groups making everyone separate further and further. Religion, Politics, Nationality, Gender, Race, Sexual Orientation, I mean I can go on and on, about the things that are used to tear people apart. I'm not saying that any of the above things are bad, and I'm certainly not saying that we shouldn't be individuals, but I personally find that when you look at the world as merely a Human Being than things just make more sense. The right frame of mind, has made all the difference in the world for me. |

Taking the jump and becoming a freelance web developer 2 and half years ago. My income instantly jumped 3 fold doing more or less the same work. I can now work anywhere I want, near a month's living costs in just over a week and so focus more on internet marketing. Another great decision was joining our beloved Warrior Forum. The knowledge here is unmatched anywhere else on the net! Thanks! |

Getting layed off from my last job ![]() Well it wasn't my decision but if I hadn't been layed off I never would have found out what I was capable of. When the money ran out I was pushed into becoming an entrepreneur and here I today. I made a decision to be uncomfortable and suffer through the mistakes of being in business for yourself but it's the best thing that ever happened for me. I feel blessed : ) Ryan |
