Congratulations! Big step, I know that’s got to feel great. For me it was quite the opposite situation, got laid off but luckily had enough savings to see us through until I started seeing some affiliate checks rolling in.

Best of luck to you,

Yes Ken !!!!

You've hit the nail on the head.

Focus is key, Planning is also vital ! You MUST sit down at your pc with a plan. You have to know what you want to achieve whilest you are there.

If you are consistant you will make money, just stick at it and never give up !!

Thanks Ken

Excellent! You are bold as a Lion... "If you think you can - You can. If you think you can't - you can't. You are right!" I beleive that you will succeed. You are encouraging me to. I need a BREAKTHROUGH soon....

T.I.M.

Wow! I remember months back when you had a goal to go full time IM within a year... Looks like it happened even sooner for you.

This is truly an inspiration since I seen you from your blogs beginning to now.

Great work man.

JeffLam

All I can say is, Congrats and hope you'll have continued success!

However, I do believe a 8-5 job do provide most with more confidence of earning money. IM is afterall, a rather risky business as it is similar to entrepreneurship, albeit at a rather smaller scale in terms of start up costs. However, risks of money loss are still involved!

Being your own boss still rocks though!

Good for you, it's a huge accomplishment!

Well done.

We are on this earth for a pretty short time and too many people are not brave enough to take that big leap of faith.

Hats off to you. Good luck

Has anyone ever quit their j ob before they were making much money online, but maybe had a nest-egg to carry them over until such time?

YseUp

This is what I'm thinking about doing. In a couple of months I'll have enough money to last me a year withoug any additional income.

And what have I got to lose? I have no kids, no mortgage, no debt.

dean_holland

Thankyou Anthony !! Thats my thoughts exactly .. Thankyou !

dean_holland

Dude...

This is me !! I have about 6 weeks of cash to last me before I have $0.00 !

Yet in the middle of a ressession I am quiting a $46,000 a year salary to do what I love ! I am so unhappy working for a boss, I know what life I want so Im risking EVERYTHING to go for it !

Like I mentioned I have my first Big launch coming next month which I believe in that much that Im putting my all into it !

Its a huge step and I would not suggest anyone take that decision unless they have the same belief I do.

I know I can make it work, I believe I can make it work so why do I need my job ???

Just 1 mans view, everyone has to make their own decision... Im making a big stand in my life right now at age 24 that this is what I want so this is what I will be.

Thanks man !

Dean

Nice work Dean, it's so much easier doing this stuff full time. Not to mention way more fun

And to answer the person who asked if anyone had quit their job before making heaps, that would be me too. I moved in back with my parents and basically sat on the computer for about 3 months.

Didn't really do anything else in that period except work on my IM stuff and it was a pretty rough time, but a couple of years later it was the best move I ever made

Stick at it everyone who is struggling to get off the ground.

Hey Perry

You make a valid comment and I do agree that the action I have just taken in quitting my job will not be for everyone.

I do however believe that the attitude a person has towards success and making a full time living online will have a certain level of something to do with the success they achieve.

If you go into it with the thought that you seem to have above then I think you are already stopping yourself from reaching the level of success you want.

You have said -

And with a mindset like that then I expect the internet will only ever be a hobby to you, If that is all you want from it though then that is no problem.

However if like me you really do want to make a huge success online then you must think and believe that that is what you can do.

You make a point though that I anticipate many will agree on bu tthat is just my way of thinking. I think possitive and that tends to produce better results that going into something with limited belief in it.

Thanks for your comment

Dean

PerryMyk: My close friend makes about $3,500 a month and has never worked for more than 6 hours a day.

I have a couple of other friends who are full time IM'ers and none of them has worked for more than 10 hrs a day in the initial start up phase and they all work less than 6 a day to keep the whole thing going.

You have some serious limiting beliefs!

Hey YseUp ...

Sorry Perry but Im with YseUp on this one....

Your mindset seems to be so limiting, If I was to think that I will only ever do internet marketing as a hobby I would never get anywhere !

I have MANY friends doing this full time and I tell you now I dont know of any that put in anywhere near 16 hour days.

Of course when first starting out and getting your business going well it will no doubt take a lot more commitment. But then you outsource, pass on the tasks that take up the time and you grow.

Its just not sensible or smart to be putting in so many hours

You obviously must do well after 23 years but working 16 hour days.. Geez I wont be doing that in afew months time.

My mentor will make his first million dollars online this year, he worked out recently I think over the next month he will work no more than 20 hours on his business.

Like said above you have Very limiting beliefs. Make it what you want it to be !

Dean

Jack Bastide

Congrats Dean

I did the same thing but im not gonna say it was because I was Brave

It was because I had no choice!

I got laid off from my 6 Figure mainframe programming job in 2002
and I couldn't find a Job making anywhere Near what I was making

So I stopped trying to find a job :0)

Yes it was scary for awhile but if you persist the world
is your oyster

Good Luck!

dean_holland

Hey Perry

Dont get me wrong my friend I KNOW 110% that making money online is not easy... Hell no not one bit !!

This is why I quit my job, I just cant fit the 2 into a day.

What I am saying is as you grow your online business and you have more funds in the pot you can begin to look at ways to relieve some of your time by outsourcing tasks.

Hope you see my point, you are totally correct. It takes a lot of work to get it going and thats what I have been doing for 8 months none stop.. Literally every single day I have worked hard and I will continue to do so for some time no doubt.

But with growth comes a time when you can afford to take some pressure off yourself. In fact I think the growth of any business depends on that.

Hope you understand my point my friend

Dean

CONGRATULATIONS
YOU ARE NOW LIVING THE DREAM!!!!
Great to hear that it has only taken you 8 months to fire your boss, keep on keeping on

John Durham

Congrats Dean! You are a champion and an inspiration to all!

Your proud moment reminds me of this quote from Og Mandino:

"The career I have chosen is laden with opportunity however fraught with heart break and dispair. The bodies of those who have failed, were they piled atop one another would cast it's shadow down upon all the pyramids of the earth, yet I will not fail as the others...for in my hand I now hold charts that will guide me through perilous waters to shores which only yesterday seemed but a dream...until even the golden apples in the garden of Hesperides will seem as if they are only my 'just' reward"

You are a true one in a million Champion Dean!

NEVER LOOK BACK!

Wishing you all the continued success in the world!

Thanks for the motivational post, hopefully one day I can reach my goals as well.

Good luck in the future mate.

congrats bro!

How true this is, you need to really put your heart and soul into doing this
internet marketing stuff and treat it as a business.

I'm sure anyone here can achieve the same results as long as they put in the
effort.

Awesome to hear! For some people, the best way to do it is to just jump right in and quit (I did). Yours is a wonderful success story, and we'll all be watching your progress now that you're a full-timer

Hey Dean,

Way to go my friend. I know the great feeling when you don't have to work for nobody else.

Now, go out there and help as many people as possible to quit their jobs too.

hey Perry, I can't say I agree with you.

Yeh, this stuff isn't easy, but going out with the mindset that you're probably not going to make it isn't going to help. I don't know too many people who make it on their first go, but most people will make it eventually (to be honest, most give up).

But hey, nothing wrong with treating it like a hobby if you don't want to do it fulltime. It's still a fun game but I find that it's a lot more fun now I'm making more.

Sean Morrissy

jjbalagosa

Also, now that you've made it public, there's probably going to be a ton of naysayers out there. But the more naysayers you have, the more confirmation it is that you are on the right track.

As with ANYTHING in life, statistically speaking, the 80/20 rule exists. Or 80% people will fail as where 20% of people will succeed. And 80% of those successful people will work extremely hard & long days, and 20% will easily be doing it in under 4 hours a week. That's just the nature of the universe.

Sources:

The 80/20 principle: The Secret to Success by Achieving More with Less by Richard Koch
The 4 Hour Workweek: Escape the 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich by Timothy Ferris
(I actually back up my "statistics." Otherwise it just looks like I'm making up things and blowing smoke up your arse.)

But who says that you can't be part of the 20%? Why would anyone, with a decent amount of self-esteem, believe they would be on the other side of that?

Plus, known success result ratios and/or percentages (if any actually exist) for IM would be skewed anyway. There are too many variables to factor in. It's such an accessible business model, that arbitrage is really common. Some people just end up realizing that this business isn't for them, then move on.

Another thing, I don't think really great people in history pay attention to success ratios. Thank god Thomas Edison didn't. If he did we wouldn't have the light bulb. A 1000/1 ratio of success isn't really all that good in my book. But all it takes is that 1 to change the world!

People have a tendency to fear the unknown, they project those fears onto others and offer "advice" based on those fears. But "fear" just stands for False Emotions Appearing Real. It's like pixie dust and unicorns. What's real is that you never actually fail, unless you give up.

I can't help by roll my eyes at people who try to pass off their own negative beliefs as "a dose of reality" or "sage wisdom." Reality is what you make it or "You create your own universe as you go along." as Winston Churchill once said.

You seem to have a solid foundation and balls of steel, so I know you won't be phased by any naysayers out there. Here's to your success so far, and success with the product launch!

Nice squeeze page, btw!

Clark

I suspect that 95%+ on this board will not agree with Perry simply because they are not part of his generation... and I mean that very respectfully too.

Perry's core concerns and values he has shared here echoes the Silent Generation's conditioning.

It's not his fault (entirely)... just a product of his times, not unlike the opposite shown by his detractors which, I would venture to guess are The Millennial Generation who are apt to seek out instant gratification and also, feel a sense of entitlement (which annoys other generations who have been raised to believe in working hard for what you get).

The fact is that nobody is wrong (limiting belief) in their way of thinking provided that each follows a path that will result in their desired end state in a way that works for them.

Knowing about your market is critical to knowing how to market to your market and your current/future customers are not all the same in your market - Market Segmentation

To Dean, I wish you well and be sure to let us know how things progress for you.

Clark

LOL

You've proven my point very clearly and succinctly with your response.

I do enjoy your point of view even if "The Wisdom of the Crowds" don't fully agree.

I'm sure The Wright brothers would disagree and also congratulate you for being an Aerospace engineer and a pilot for over 40 years too

Have fun on the slopes...

Droopy Dawg

Hey Dean congrats on your move man I hope it works out for you. You do realize how hard you'll have to work in order to have a successful business, so I have faith that you'll make it work.

But just remember... Perry did bring up some EXCELLENT points about working for "the man"... and that there are benefits that you're leaving such as 401K and HEALTH INSURACE (just to name a couple).

You mentioned you've made 10k in 8 months, which is OUTSTANDING "side-gig" money, but to rely on that for a living you'll need to more than double that. I have faith in you that you'll make it work, but just remember its not just about the money... you have to think about other things such as your health expenses (GOD forbid you need it). Also take into account the taxes (not sure of the UK tax laws) that you'll need to pay.

Lots and lots of variables to consider.

Anyway... GOD Bless you man, and good luck and GOD Speed in your endeavors.

DeShon

I'm on my way too. Well said... See you at the top.

Clark

YES!

...and that's why it is imperative to understand the diversity of the market one is trying to reach and succeed in.

A single statistic does not encompass anyone; it's a road sign which requires another road sign on the way to the desired destination.... for that moment. (read: customer behaviour)

There is a systematic approach to making money online as well as offline that is tried, tested and proven to work.

The 90% failure rate is a misnomer to those who choose to be business owners who create more that one revenue generating unit (I.e. Diversify) and also, embrace that reality of failure in order to improve upon their system within their market in accordance to the market's behaviour.

It's much more forgiving to fail online than it is offline in a financial sense.

Here's a statistic that'll blow you away.

You only need roughly 0.5 - 1% of visits to your sales page that covert in order to make a full time living from internet marketing.

That's a 99% failure rate and still, it is possible to "make a living" online.

Pardon the pun here but Internet Marketing isn't rocket science and actually has a proven scientific method that yields results.

What doesn't change to a large degree are -> people. People will always need/want something that makes them feel good (Skiing) and something to correct a problem in their life (Retirement income at any age).

Finding where the herd resides which fits the targeted prospective customer profile of their needs/wants for the product offering is where the so-called 90% fail then quit altogether.

When you have established your marketing/sales funnel and also, understand your target market and where they reside then what is left is to fail, test, track & tweak for continual sales conversion improvements with the intent to get as many laser targeted eyeballs to the sales page as possible.

The key variables here and I'll agree that the hypothetical 90% that fail then quit never spent any time learning about project management, marketing, the sales process, traffic generation, leverage, scalability & investment.

Those people are the perennial "opportunity seekers" and not the focussed entrepreneurs running a business(es).

Dean has explained that he received mentorship from an established successful entrepreneur and I assume he has all of the variables covered to "give it a go" with all of his entrepreneurial spirit... for the right reasons for him.

Here's another kicker... we are all newbies at some facet of internet marketing and we're all destined to fail more than one time during our journey yet, we come back for more and more and more just like a newbie snowboarder who just has to "make this thing work" with the understanding of all the calculated risks involved... those folks are the winners in the game and there are many of them right here....

dean_holland

EXCELLENT !!!

Well said, thankyou !

Everyone WILL fail on the way to success for sure ! How can you achieve success if you dont make mistakes to learn from.

Sorry PerryMYK But I just dont understand why you are carrying on like this at all my friend. You have clearly made the decision with your business that you will treat it as a hobbie and only to achieve an income level of a hobby.

That is your choice though man, doesnt seem right that you keep saying people should think the same as you. What you state is your choice and one you have made.

You say everyone you know that has success works 16 hours a day online 7 days a week.

Well I and others know of people hugely successful that dont do anywhere near this now. A business takes time to grow !

Message to all - You can make it as big or as small as you like !

You can work as much or as little as you like... AFTER it is built and the business structure is in place. Dont get lazy from the start, work hard, build your business that assess how to grow to the level you want it to be, whether hobbie or full time income.

Internet marketing can be and is a full time income for a LOT of people. Many it is even more than a full time income ! I have close friends making 10's of 1000's every month online.

My aim is to do the same so that is what I will do.

Best wishes to you all, chase your goals and reach them !!

Dean

YseUp

This is why IM appeals so much to me. There is room to fail (learn) with almost no down side, maybe a loss of time and a little bit of money.

Also it depends on your individual circumstances, if you have no kids, mortgage or debt then you have almost nothing to lose.

As for the perceived security of a pension and a stable career.... well I could write a book about that.

I'm all for investing for your future but I don't think contributing to a pension scheme is the way to go. The numbers just don't add up.

that's great, I did the same like a year ago and I've learned a lot from mistakes and new experiences but it's totally worth it.

That is awesome my friend!

I am glad you took ownership of your marketing career.

And I hope many people realize that affiliate marketing is great but having your own affiliate army working for you in your sleep is so much sweeter.

Lisa Gergets

Wow, so incredible.

I'll be there someday too!

Affiliate Juggernaut

That sounds awesome. I actually got fired from my job last year, and couldn't get another one. So i turned to the one place of infinite opportunity... The internet.

I was exactly the same way - scared and pretty worried.

And actually it didn't even take off til the first of this year, when I sold my first product.

Then I knew it was go time.

Just don't mess around or chase fads. Find something you're intent on making money with and do it.

No excuses, no regrets.
