Time To Get Serious
 

Next month marks 1 year with PIPS for me.I have yet to see a profit of any kind but I still believe in all the program offers. I'll be the first to admit that I have not taken full advantage of the opportunity and have taken the slow and steady approach.
I have treated my web sites as more of a hobby and not worried to much about the expenses which are minimal. I figured eventually I would start to take this serious and then I would start to make money.

Well yesterday I was called into the bosses office and told that I need to cut half my staff by the end of the month (25 people) and that at best I would have 6 months before I was cut.

While in some way I was expecting this news it still was a little sobering. At least now I have the ground work set up and I am not starting from scratch. Its time to get serious about this hobby of mine.

Hi John,

Sorry to hear about your job. I was in the same position you were. For me it was 3 years, and I was happy making minimum wage and letting my business go on the back burner. Well I lost my job last year, so I had to really take things seriously.

It is VERY sobering to say the least.

I wish you all the best. Hang tight and keep working the system because it does work.

Hi John,

That was similar to what I experiences years ago. I was quite motivated. The problem is alot of people do treat it like a hobby...

You often get what you pust into something.

However the good news is you have warning signs that i didnt have...so take advantage of that time...

Take care

Hi John,
I'm sorry to hear of the bad news. But at least you've got the ground work started and are in better shape than others who are not prepared. Good luck on your new journey. I'm sure you'll be motivated to do very well in your business.

Sorry for your plight, John.

"Necessity is the Mother of Invention".

You are in the position that I always describe as ideal - while money is still coming in from your day job, building something slowly in your spare time, so that when the big day comes where the money stops, you already have the foundation for a new source of income!

Good job!

..and you are doubly blessed because you have 6-months notice!

Hi,

Well maybe it's time to turn your hobby into a real business. Don't be sorry because things happens with a purpose. Maybe time is calling you to really get serious to turn your online activities into a real business and not just a hobby. Who knows you might just be on your way to your financial freedom. Don't stop believing!

Hi John,

Sorry about your job.

My recomendation is to focus in offline marketing, tell all of your friends about PIPS.

And then in all the online strategies discussed in this forum.

This will bring you faster income.

My best wishes.

Hi John,
Sorry about the bad news. But as others have said, when one door is closed,another one opens. You have already laid the foundation, this is the time to start building seriously. I often say to my friends, jobs give us opportunities to seek ways and means of finding security. So our security is home business, no one will fire us except ourselves.
I wish you and your family new strength to meet challenges ahead.

Hi John,
Find a new job or a reliable business ASAP. Hobby is fun if you have extra money left after paying for necessities.
This is my best positive and responsible advice.

John,

Just be prepared for the challenges ahead. Make the most of the 6 months you have with your current employer...and continue building your business.

Good luck!

Hi John

Sorry to hear about your job. I suppose in the current environment it is not unusual. What is unusual though is that you have a goal and are heading for that goal.

Stick with it. You've done the hard graft with getting your PIPS business set. Now is the time to make it rock

God bless

I'm sorry to hear your going to be loosing you job, but some times things are just meant to be. You have been working your business as a hobby may be this was meant to be, in order to push you into making your business work and become your own boss and be successful.

Just believe in yourself and your ability and work hard at making your business a success, and I'm sure you will be successful.
