Entrepreneur to the Warriors

Hello Warriors.

I thought as a first thread, it would be a good idea for me to introduce myself to all of you. Not sure if this is the right place. Please move it if not.

I hope you will welcome me into your world.

I am new to Warriors forum. However I am not new to IM.

I hope to join your community and provide value added content and knowledge so we can all prosper together.

I have been doing IM on a part time (more like a hobby to help others) basis for a very very long time. I have been successful. I have failed many times. Failing is part of success. That is my belief as it should be for many of you. You learn from your mistakes.

As of October 1st, I will give priority to my Internet Marketing efforts as this is where my passion rests.

I hope to get your support as I ramp up and I hope to gain opportunities to partner with some of you on your projects. I have a lot to share. I also have a lot to learn.

I hope you will show me the path as I would do the same for many here on this forum.

I look forward to working with all of you.

Here is a quick summary of what I have going as an Entrepreneur:

1) I have started number of businesses over the last 18 months. They provide services such as consulting/business development/investment in the Energy, Infrastructure and health care sectors. Startups are always fun but not easy. I am hoping that me and my business partners will continue to build these businesses and make a success out of them.

2) I have been operating a blog (again out of passion) for a while now - www.startupbooster.com. I get a lot of leads on my blog but so far I have not done anything to translate that in to money! Remember, I was doing this out of passion not to make money.

3) I have been an active player in the domain flipping, second life virtual world (made lots of money here! no virtual alright!), websites flipping (before flippa), etc, etc. I think I still own more than 400 domain names and operate about 25+ websites of which I have no clue what they all make or not... again, I have to do an inventory of where I am.

4) list is extensive but I will be happy to share my work profile in private if anyone is interested. Keep in mind, I am only now trying to merge my two worlds (online and offline).

My Mantra for Success Has been:

1) Don't be Greedy. Work towards your Passion and not toward the money. Money will flow and flow in many folds.

2) Find a Hungry Niche. Develop a product or solution that would help that Niche. Service/Provide it to the Niche. This to me is Internet Marketing.

3) If you want to make money online, treat is like a real business. This worked for me in the past (i.e. my secondlife.com money machine, domain flipping, etc) and I hope to do the same in the future.

My question to all of you is:

1) What are the spirits of Warriors? and would I fit in with my values as described above?

2) What is the one thing that I should NOT DO at all in this forum?

Again, I look forward to working with all of you.
