Living In Parents Garage Living The Dream!

That is awesome! Ya home cooked meals by mom can't be beat.

It was just so hard trying to work just to pay rent and bills. All that time could be going into my businesses. It is rediculous how much money you can save. My business partner and I both live with my mom and the thousands of dollars a month we are saving is priceless when starting your own business.

Have you been seeing success yet?

Thanks bud! I think I actually will.. What a great idea! Glad to see other people out there sacrificed to make it

This thread reminds me of myself! Just as tmoboy said, "keep this thread updated as a journal". If you have had your own blog, update it as well. It helps to make you money too! See if this helps. =)

Update everything in WF or your blog(if you have one). Update your story in the online world. For example, how you get to know about IM, how you find yourself getting more closer to your goals, how you make your first income and so forth. This kind of real life story will help inspire a lot of people who are still don't know how to start their IM journey.

Oh well, you might ask me is this even related to the "IT HELPS TO MAKE YOU MONEY TOO"?

yes of course it does! By the time you see results in online work, you can create a step by step guide product that teaches whoever is new to the online world. This actually will catch the eyeballs of many beginners who doesn't know how to start their work online.

It's just a little idea of mine. Hope it helps! It's a good thing that you moved back home with your parents for this moment, because it helps to save you a lot of unnecessary costs.

Cheers! All the best and hope you get to your goals real soon! =)

Thanks Andrew. The distractions are very few since I live at home where I really can't stand. My motivation is to get out of here as fast I can! I figure that since I can't stand to live back with my parents, this should be the drive I need to really create something that can get my off my feet.

My whole mindset is completely about finding a way to make money to get out of here. I mean its not all that bad but I am 25 living with my mom

Sometimes you just know when something is right. I knew this felt right and I knew it was the best option for me in order to succeed. I know 100 percent that I will not leave this place until I have lived out my dream of being an entrepreneur. You wouldnt believe how many people doubted me and put me down for my dream. I just can't wait to show them all how wrong they were!

Well its an advantage because I can put every single dime I make back into the business. Obviously it sucks. I am 25 and have lived on my own for years. I dont enjoy it but sometimes you have to sacrifice in order to succeed. My options were very limited since I told myself that I would not work a 9-5.

Why work a 9-5 to make money to pay rent when those 8 hours could go straight into the business?

Mattlaclear- I definitely see how one could become super lazy. Having mom cook for you and clean the dishes, etc. can really make you just lounge around. Its one of those things that also probably depend on that type of person. For me, just working for someone else 9-5 to just pay rent was one of those things that just ate me up inside. I also hated the feeling that I was living at home with my mom. I mean how could I ever tell a girl I met that I lived at home and she was not allowed over haha.

I think some people would get lazy and take advantage of their situation. I look at it as something that should not be taken advantage of and something that should be embraced. I have all day to work on my business and I am lucky to have given this opportunity which I am sure many others would die for. I would feel guilty lounging around. The decision was made to move home and I told myself that I would work as hard as I could to move out and this was only a temporary thing to get my Internet Marketing career started.

Self discipline is a must and obviously it is easier said then done but I know what is destined of me

Really, I think it comes down to self-discipline. Know what you want out of living at home and make sure you stay focused on your goals. I know that I do not want to live here for long. It isnt all that bad but I know I want to move out as soon as I can afford it. My motivation to move out is a big reason to stay focused. Also, I have turned my living room strait into an office. WHen I am in the office I am only focused on important business decisions. I am not there to fool around or waste time. Make sure you spend most of your day in the office. Also, make sure to reward yourself for the hard work you put in throughout the day. Say to yourself, " I will reward myself with an hour of TV if I work 5 hours strait productively." That way you wont feel bad about watching TV and your motivated to be productive.

Its definitely hard and I think it really comes down to what motivates you and self-discipline. If you can't stay motivated and find yourself becoming distracted maybe you need to work for someone and be told what to do. After all, being an entrepreneur isn't easy. Otherwise everyone would be doing it.

Hi SPC,

l can totally relate to what you are going through.

I was living by myself, and spent the last 2 years there out of 7, working very hard on my website.

Because in Australia the rent was going from bad to worse, and Social Security was going from bad to worse, l knew that the only option apart from getting a full time job, was to move in with my Mother, and become successful online there?

That was one and a half years ago, and l have learned a lot, but no real success yet.

The site that l am still working on, but only rarely at the moment, is showing great promise with adsense. Should match or exceed a full wage eventually.

So l would suggest, looking into 100K Blueprint, (WSO). It seems like a real way to make real money, probably because it would take effort to set up then a few months minimum to see real results.

I only have to write an article or two whenever l go out with my Laptop, post it here and there, and wait. Not that hard, apart from setting up the site.

But the important thing is that if your other idea doesn't work out, you have a backup plan!

That is the thing about the internet it takes considerable effort and time for minimal results, so a backup plan, which takes little effort, but builds up over time is worthwhile.

Just like you guys and gals, l want to move out asap, but the more you rush this the more you will blow serious money and get nowhere apart from learning another tough lesson.

Far better to build a successful business that doesn't have a ceiling than to work hard for something that does!

I also have to admit that l am a lot older than 25, (over 40) but regardless of how many friends l lose or how much my Mother gets into me about this online thing, (she is Ok, with it at the moment) and how much my brother thinks that it is probably a waste of time, giving up is non-existent for me.

I am building a site that will make me, a few hundred per month to a few thousand. As well as a few other PPC products that l should be able to get a few hundred out of a month, and eventually a product that l will create, which will hopefully hit the jackpot. Time will tell.

There are a lot of opportunities on Fiverr.com, to make some money and create money, so it would pay to look into that one also.

Good luck..

Shane

Hey Dwayne. I will create another thread and tell you all when I do which fully outlines my situation and keep everyone updates.

I am glad to see others out there in the same boat? How is your situation? Are you living out your dream?

I love to see the struggles that we encounter because each struggle is an experience and each experience is a chance to gain wisdom. This is why I think business and making money is one of those things that you have to be good at learning. Learning from experiences and moving on. The experiences that we learn in everyday life can be applied to our our own business in many ways.

Thank God for supportive and understanding parents. Besides even living in your parents garage you're probably living better than half the people on the planet, think about it. God Bless America!

Hi,

yep! Been there done that.

I tried writing 3 e-books, two on toys and games, and one on Chess. The Chess one was a total failure and the other two sold so slow that it wasn't viable. I also spent months researching affiliate offers, that were a total failure and RR products with my e-books, no dice.

So...after more than 3 years of trying it all, l have dedicated the entire site to adsense. I am only making a few dollars a month at the moment, but expect that to improve considerably when the new pages get listed.

I also agree with you about info, overload. I have been at this for so long now it is getting easier to spot suss ventures from good ones. And l have been distracted by many things that didn't work out.

They usually wave their magic wands around and make blah, blah, but virtually anyone else who trys it, zilch?

A word of advise, don't sign up for anything out there if, cancelling your membership is a nightmare, odds on it wont work and cause you a lot of stress trying to get away from them. Usually mentioning that you will email their credit card processing company will get them to act, but not all.

I have tried to create a list as well, but no worthwhile results.

Shane

P.S. l should also ad that the Frank Kern sign up is doing well, (affiliate-website-success link below) and the product converts well, eventhough there is a lack of kws available, so it isn't all gloom and doom.

i really love this thread. you are bang on right to feel good about staying at your parents. i wish my parents had the same attitude. if i didn't have to worry about all the issues i have to deal with i would be able to focus on all my issues and treat it like a full-time career. a golden opportunity!! you have a brilliant attitude towards all of this.

there is nothing wrong with living with your parents, as long as your mind is on moving forward with form of project or another.

will message you when i get a bit more time to do so.
