You read a lot about people wanting a plan to reach their goals. There are mounds of programs to market and thousands of way to market them. It has been said before, people get overwhelmed with information. I was the same way. However, I have developed a small usable plan for me that may or may not work for somebody else just starting out.

First, I have been fortunate enough to love writing.I have also been fortunate enough to work from home writing since July of 2009. It has been work but it is rewarding. Now I have not made hundreds of thousands of dollars, but the bills are paid and food is on the table. With that in mind, you can substitute whatever you are doing to pay the bills where I mention my "structured" writing client. First thing you must do is decide what you want and where you want to focus your business. As I have said before, just about any of these programs work, it is just a matter of picking one and STICKING with it. Personally I would say invest from somebody here at WF.

1. Continue writing for the one structured client I have to meet my daily $$ goals. For others it may be working that brick and mortar job for 8 hours. Point is, you gotta keep your money coming in for now.

2. Invest in a program from a fellow Warrior here. I already who I am going with and what program. For me, I want to use this knowledge and income stream to build income for expenses on my Internet business.

3. Invest in the War Room and soak in as much knowledge as I possibly can.

4. Slowly build my business. My business revolves around writing. However, there are many ways to monetize that and build multiple income streams. My focus is on quality, which quite frankly is lacking in this industry. Whatever your business is, please bring real value to your potential clients.

5. Take the knowledge that I learn from the War Room and the first investment and use it to it's fullest potential. Apply this information on my own to develop my Internet business. If something is not working, come here and ask questions.

6. Throughout all of this...build relationships. Build relationships with your fellow Warriors, build relationships with your customers and potential customers, build relationships within the Internet marketing community.

During this time you need to set goals. They don't have to be monetary goals. They can be goals of acquiring the knowledge or investing in a business tool.

My one year anniversary of working for me is July 4th. My new long term goal is to move away from my structured writing client all together and work my writing business providing value to other IM'ers. That goal will be met by July 4th 2011.

You can do this. You have the ability to turn your dreams into reality. There is nothing, and I mean nothing stopping you. Don't say "well, I don't have the money". Sorry there are too many free methods of creating enough money to invest in the things you want and need. Don't give me the excuse of "I don't have enough time". There is always time. Even if you only spend one hour a day, that is one virtual brick in the foundation of your business.

The time is now. Somebody said in another thread to appreciate this time we are in because the foundations have already been laid by those before us. The time is now. The missing component is.....you.

    I must say that your plan is saleable to others too, especially for starters.
