I just QUIT my job to go full time online .... YES !

Alminc · 06-06-2009, 03:26 PM

Dean,

It's a great thing to see your burning passion for IM conquer your fears.
You just jumped your 'salto mortale', may the water of wisdom bear you
my friend.
Congratulations and best of luck.

alexshelton · 06-06-2009, 03:27 PM

I'm just excited to see what you've got in store for the future Dean.

Huge congratulations, you've really shown what hard work can do,

All the best mate

Alex

red-dayton · 06-06-2009, 03:59 PM

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,

Several people in this thread have asked how to get there, when they don't have any money to invest in creating their own product. Take the time to discover what you can do and offer that as a service to other marketers and even in the offline world. And by the way stop jumping from one system to another. Find the one you are comfortable with and focus on it. In other words put what you learned to work for you.

Then grow your business step by step.

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

That's great dean, smart step I believe. Don't forget to manage your time smartly.

I wish you the best of luck with your future product.

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....

CuzinTim · 06-07-2009, 04:22 AM

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 · 06-07-2009, 04:46 AM

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!

melanied · 06-07-2009, 05:14 AM

Good for you, it's a huge accomplishment!

MunkMurray · 06-07-2009, 05:29 AM

Congrats!

I love these motivating posts!
Hopefully we will all post one of these in the future

good luck

Jackbgd · 06-07-2009, 05:30 AM

Congratulations bro!!!

It's really amazing to read posts like this, I get inspired

George Montagu Brown · 06-07-2009, 05:50 AM

Nice one mate

The UK Marketers are taking over!

I look forward to hearing all about it at that meetup in Sheffield Alex Shelton's arranging. PM me if you ever fancy a chat.

George

Anthony Tilley · 06-07-2009, 06:19 AM

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

YseUp · 06-07-2009, 06:22 AM

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?

Just do it. If you hate your job AND your boss then you basically hate your life.

Whats the point in living like that?

Better to try and fail than continuing to live your life in misery.

Go for it.

He who dares wins.

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.

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

I am buzzing with excitement.. I cant believe Im doing this but heck Im sure as hell gunna make sure I make a success out of my life

Dont get me wrong, Im not making mega amounts of cash right now but next month I launch my first product to the market which I intend to help others get to where I am at so I want to give to those people 110% ...

I guess what I want to say here is ANYONE can do this !

If you are sat thinking perhaps it cant be done... You may think you cant make good money online and live your dreams .... YOU CAN !!

Just 8 months back I had no website, no blog, I didnt even own Aweber to begin building a list.

Today I sit here with a blog that has over 1500 comments, 2 ebooks I wrote myself which have had nearly 1800 downloads and have made around $10,000 online

But most of all at the end of this month I will be my own boss !!!!

I cant emphasise this enough Warriors.... If you want this, and I mean REALLY want this you CAN do it !

What does it take ??

WORK ... WORK ... and more WORK !

This is not get rich quick, it is get rich forever !

Do you think 8 months of consistant regular work is worth it ? To make 1000's online and quit your job ??

I sure as hell do... There were times I felt I couldnt do it but I stuck at it !

YOU can do this my friend, you just gotta work

Best of luck, hope this inspires someone to do what I have done

Dean

It is stuff like this that inspires me and pulls me through all the setbacks. Truly motivating...Thanks!!

Tommy McLaughlin · 06-07-2009, 06:45 AM

Deano,

The best of luck to you ....

I have watched your progress from day 1 and can say hand on heart ..... you WILL make it and be SUCCESSFUL !

Speak soon matey

Tommy

morry · 06-07-2009, 06:50 AM

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.

Sean

RobbiePringle · 06-07-2009, 07:17 AM

It's awesome to hear of your success; and long may it continue so that you can own the life of your dreams;

that's what we're all here for, to free our lives up,

well done again,

I’m guessing that most of the folks here work 16 hrs a day, 7 days a week. If you don’t then you have no business doing this for a living.

A better way would be to work, for the man, 10 hrs a day (including travel time) 5 days a week and that leave 48 hrs on the weekend and 6 hrs each weekday to build an internet business. Then once you make more from the Internet you find a part-time job for just 20 hrs a week as a backup. Then its easy to justify dumping the part-time job.

Some here must actually believe the “Make a fortune in 2 weeks on the Internet” – that does not exist and if you have a family they deserve better.

Internet marketing is just like any new start up business - 90% of the folks will fail. Most of the folks here are not making any kind of money or could make more flipping hamburgers. This is universally true of any new business - no matter what the "get rich quick" schemes sold say.

Best of luck in your new adventure - I'm rooting for you but that means absolutely nothing in the scheme of things….

P.S.
Don't forget the little things - like your employer's half of social security that you must now pay, self-employment taxes and expenses, health insurance, 401ks, lost sales incentive vacations, etc, paid vacations, job security.

Unless you make at least 50% more than your current job you can't even break even. Hell, for the risk you need to make double your current salary. Risk is the killer here.

Dreams are one thing, reality slaps you upside the head each morning...

Making a fortune via the Internet should be a profitable hobby only. Your odds of making it full time are slim at best.

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 -

Quote:

Making a fortune via the Internet should be a profitable hobby only. Your odds of making it full time are slim at best

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

YseUp · 06-07-2009, 07:35 AM

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!

roukarous · 06-07-2009, 07:38 AM

Congratulations with your decision!

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 · 06-07-2009, 08:00 AM

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!

Jack

It's the folks who work less than 16 hrs a day that seem to be unhappy, uninspired, disappointed, and just plain miserable.

But if you think making money is so easy and simple don't tell anyone - they will want to do the same thing.

Oops...they just happen to be selling a system that lets you do just that - work little and get more.

This sound just like Cold-Fusion - that too is a hoax.

Making money, no matter what field you are name, is hard work. All the easy work has already been claimed by 95% of the people...

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

claire101 · 06-07-2009, 08:29 AM

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

kadensnga · 06-07-2009, 09:13 AM

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!

d0rhk · 06-07-2009, 09:24 AM

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.

Jenn Dize · 06-08-2009, 09:44 AM

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

talfighel · 06-08-2009, 10:01 AM

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.

Tal

morry · 06-08-2009, 10:39 AM

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 · 06-08-2009, 10:59 AM

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!

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 · 06-08-2009, 01:08 PM

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.

Just using the well known stats of a 90% failure rate, for new businesses, should be a sobering thought about quitting a full-time job and risking it all on an unproven new activity.

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...

beamer1959 · 06-08-2009, 01:23 PM

Congratulations! I hope it only takes me 8 months! Can't wait to hit that time clock for the very last time. I'll probably hit it so hard I knock it off the wall!

Droopy Dawg · 06-08-2009, 01:24 PM

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.

Ignorance is the most expensive commodity we pay for...

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....

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....

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

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.

YES ! 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!

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.

YES ! 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

YES ! 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!

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
