How Has Internet Marketing Helped You Pursue Your Passions?

its a process of never ending progress and improvement. i have been an IM'er for 10 years now, and all i can tell you is, THERE IS NO 4 HOUR WORK WEEK . but it sure has been an amazing ride. ive met hundreds of amazing people over the years, masterminded with incredible geniuses in the industry, and ive helped thousands of people reach their dreams of starting a successful online business. has it been worth it? YES! will i start all over again from scratch? NO!

my advice to you is, hold on to the WHY factor. why do you want to start an online business. whats your purpose, and let the answer be your driving force towards success in this business. cuse let me tell you, you're gonna need it.

Well said about the 4-hour week not existing!

If you want to dream of a job like that, then this is the wrong career choice.

It gets so competitive now that you have to spend every second you've got trying to match or get ahead of the competition. Anybody that shows you "proof" of them spending only 4 hours and getting 2-5k or more from it isn't telling you the full story. They've probably spent years getting a mailing list together, then funnelled that down and separated it into buyers and non-buyers.

Then, after getting a list with 10'000+ keen buyers, they've sent a few emails out and that's eventually made them the money. Then, they keep doing it each week.

That's probably the full picture that they don't tell people!

I don't know that its about working less hours.......in fact it may even be the opposite.....but it feels like fun - not work.....and I am so much happier and less frazzled by the small stuff. :-)

G'day welcome to the forum

My goals when starting this whole im thing was to spend more time with my family and get out of my Trade (baker/Pastrycook) mainly because I worked all night and slept in the day.

After I sold my Bakery I just did not want to work for someone again. I wanted to spend time at home and with the kids, not at some work place getting paid what someone else thought I was worth. You and your $20 an hour mate can get stuffed!

Have I achieved my goals?

YES and No, I work a few hours in a Local bottle shop, I meet many people and they end up with my card inside thier purchases offering My services. Loads of business people come in and by beer etc.. its a gold mine. SSSHHH.... Its a secret.

Slowly this will make me the business I want as word spreads about what I do, who I am and why I do it.

I love to SELL Its in my blood, I help small business owners by being passionate about marketing, they get passionate about their business again and we do great things together. I charge what they can afford and I get more fees paid in Beer than cash.

So do I live a 4 hour week? Not even close But Whenever the weathers good i go fishing or prawning. When I need a break I go to the families bush Cabin for a day or 2. My Days are My Own pretty much but I am by no means rich. I choose to work nearly everday but if have 2 days off its no big deal.

I replaced my wage, now its on to the next step.

Good luck, Do what you love. If you like Making music then sell it to people on this forum that need backing tracks for thier videos. Start small, build a following and before you know it your the warrior forum Music expert and we all come and see you. 10 sales at $5 is $50 and thats a start!
