Hello Warriors,

For the last 10 years or so I have been building an online business and I have also had some great success offline. However my parents have never got to grips with my online business and well they doubted I could make any money online. When I was first starting out they sat me down and told me I was wasting my time (very common thing to hear)

I am now travelling the world on that money and my parents have the nice job of paying the cheques in for me. They asked me about this internet thing I do and are quite shocked at what I do and how I have done it. My dad now is considering doing something similiar because he is about to go broke I think with his JOB.

My parents askedme how my offline business was going and I told them that it wa going well bla bla bla and they then asked if I was looking forward to going back to it when I return to the UK I said I wont need to.... the shear look of terror on their faces was a picture and I know they are proud but man the questions I keep getting....lol

I prove people wrong all the time its almost a hobby of mine!! if you are a newbie reading this stick with it and boast when you make the money to all those who doubted you they will soon change their opinion when you pick them up in a Porsche or similiar!!

Just thought I would post might help someone focus a bit!

    Nice to read your success story.

    Yes, I do agree with you that we have to focus and persistent of doing what we think is right. Do not be discouraged by comments. For internet business, we need to have the right attitude, focus and taking action.

    Also, do not fear failure as from it, we learnt not to make the same mistake and growing with it. I have seen those who continue to pick themselves up after failure are the ones making a success. I always tell people the same story about babies who learn how to walk tend to fall but they will stand up again to walk. Since we all have gone through the same process, we should not be beaten by failure instead turning it to success.

    My aunty and Uncle have stood by me all these years they kept me on the straight and narrow she always says "A faint heart never F****D a Pig"

    I have never failed anything my life, I was challenged to completing a rubix cube and I did it in two days only persistance and determination and I managed it.

    You only ever fail when you stop trying I never stop trying NEVER!!

    I learn something then once I learn somthing I master it then I become a guru in it and then only then do I move on to somthing else!!

    I used to buy all the latest system and I made money with all of them some were alot harder than others if I paid £50 for a system I would use that system to make my money back and then I would decide whether it was worth teh hassle!

    Quite a rags to riches story based on your post last November. You parents must be very proud of how you've gone from a construction worker seeking any kind of work online to traveling the world in only 8 short months. Congratulations!

    haha yeah definiately. Last november was definiatly a tough time but a bit of thinking outside the box from the construction point of view I pulled in a lot of work and took on 2 lads to help with the work which was handy and really showed how leverage worked.

    And online I built for the user which I think is more important than for the SE's. I also have moved my business in big steps and have a plan unlike previous where I just did my thing.

    Well done that you stuck with it until the proof of success was obvious - I am intending to do the same!

    People are always at a loss for words I don't even explain it to them anymore. I have to explain it to everyone I meet and none of them believe that it is possible to make a living in a virtual world. I just say I'm a "marketer" and move along.

    Most people who are not in the business of the Internet are usually shocked when they find out that one can actually make a living this way
