The Truth About Internet Marketing Ads by Internet Gurus

If you’re like me, you’re interested in learning how to make money on-line. The problem is who to believe. My inbox is full of emails that claim, Make $13,500.00 per day with clickbank, become a Google millionaire, or make $356,000.00 in six months. Here is one I just got.

Here's what I mean...

1. Once you get this set up, you'll make money automatically 24/7, even while you're sleeping or having fun doing something else. You won't be chained to your computer slaving away.

2.Your checks show up automatically. You won't be waiting on anybody else who might "forget" to pay. You'll get paid on autopilot, just like clockwork.

3.It doesn't have to cost you a dime. There's no thinking about what to buy to "make this work". You can choose to spend some money on certain traffic generation approaches, but you don't have to.

3.Unlike most things, you can start immediately. This isn't a "slow-and-steady" system—it's a "fast and overwhelmingly profitable" avalanche rolling right into your bank account

Look at how great that sounds. The ad goes on to say he has charged as much as $1997.00 for his seminar, but now he is giving it to you for the low price of $27.00 That is quite a discount. By the way this system claims it made the site owner $549,784.82 on autopilot.

Now the reason that I get these are because I have looked into more than a few of these e-books. They always try to collect email addresses so they can send you junk in the future. One thing I have noticed is that a majority of these are from a handful of so-called Internet gurus. So I ask myself why are these people willing to show everyone how to make all this money for $97.00? After years of looking at these videos, e-books and websites I realize that it’s not what is contained in these e-books and the like, its what is not included. It’s almost like someone giving you a new car but no keys. You feel like wow I have this new car, but the reality is your never even going to sit in it much less drive it.

These gurus are masters of advertising. They know what buzz words to use to get you interested enough to keep reading. They know how to get you excited in the idea that you can make this work. They use just enough cynicism so you don’t have to inject your own. They show you screen shots of a clickbank account with thousands of dollars made daily. They even show you copies of checks received in the mail. Before you know it you just spend money to download the product. Now you’re excited and begin to work the system. But as you begin setting up the system, something just does not seem right. You notice something is missing. Your excitement turns to disappointment then anger. You realize you have been had. If it were really that easy to make that kind of money on-line, you probably would be doing it already or know someone personally who has.

Another thing that they do not tell you is that it takes time to make any real money on-line using any of their systems. Most of us don’t want to wait. We expect that if we have a website were going to start getting hits to the site right away. That usually never happens. The web is saturated with just about anything you can think of. Go to Google and do a search for something you think won’t be out there, you’ll be surprised at the results. In my experience the key to making money on-line is traffic. I don’t care how good the idea or site, with no traffic you got nothing.

Another reason a lot of these claims are not truthful is that after buying the product, they try to get you to purchase something else. Most e-books on how to make money are really big affiliate ads. Once downloaded a lot are filled with affiliate links. So the initial purchase usually gets you to click a link to buy or register for something else to in order to make what you just bought work.

There is almost always a technical aspect to making money on-line. Even with the most simple website. You will have to do something technical to either get it up and running or to keep it up and running. You might want to change the layout of your site or upload widgets images or find new ways to promote it. Most of these things require some technical knowledge. So your going to have to learn on your own how to get these things accomplished usually with the purchase of another e-book The web is always changing; you want to be able to change with it.

Instead of buying into these claims of riches I say figure out what you really like. A good way to start is figure out what it is you would do for free. Once you know what that is, start to do it if you’re not already. With some research you should be able to find a way to monetize it.

How Come We Fail When It Comes To New Years Resolutions

With the New Year approaching, everyone starts to think about new years resolutions and plans for 2009. If you did this last, take a look back. Did you follow through on those resolutions and plans? For the majority the answer is no. For most of us setting a resolution for the New Year is like something fun to do. So we set resolutions that are unrealistic or that we really don't want to keep.

The beginning of every New Year is like a psychological clean slate for us. We use it rationalize all that went wrong the previous year and vow to make the upcoming year different and better. The problem is we don't take the time to think about the year that ended and set ourselves up to be more successful in the year to come. We need to make a plan for the New Year. Just like setting any other goals it is a good idea to think them through and write them down. Make realistic resolutions that you can keep. You must take this seriously if you really want to achieve the change you really want. If you’re a heavy smoker, saying your going to quit on the 1st probably won't happen. If you take it in stages you give yourself a better chance of success. If you smoke 3 times a day try to cut down to 2 within a couple of weeks. Then stay on 2 a day until it’s the norm, then try cutting to 1. I use Smoking as an example because it is probably one of the resolution that is proclaimed the most on New Years Eve.


Make a real commitment to change. You should make resolutions that you are willing to commit to. If your resolution will involve a major lifestyle change, make sure your willing to go through that. Take the time to really think about it. All resolutions don’t have to start on the 1st. If begin to plan on the first that is a step in the right direction

Get a journal and track your progress. Use the journal to set up milestones and track them as you meet them. Use the journal to write down anything notes that might help you with your goal. If you have told family and friends, which is a good thing to do, keep a list of them in the journal. You can check in with them for feedback. Make a note of the feedback you receive and adjust accordingly. This is a good way to hold yourself accountable for your goal.

Take time every so often to visualize your success. Seeing yourself in the state you are trying to reach is a good way to stay motivated. Visualization is a technique that has been around for a while. Athletes use it to see themselves in a competition before it happens. They see themselves making all the plays needed to pull out a victory. It can work for just about any situation you can think of. If weight loss is your goal, see yourself at your ideal weight in your mind. Hold on to it and believe that you will be like that. If your belief is strong enough it will lead you to action and you will achieve your goal.

Be prepared for setbacks. It is possible that setbacks may happen. Don’t let them discourage you. If a setback does occur take a note of it in your journal. Think about what are some reasons it happened, and find some ways to try and avoid the same mistake in the future.
Treat yourself as time goes by and you are still sticking to your plan. It does not have to be anything major. But rewarding your self will make you fell good about what your doing and give you the confidence that you will be able to make a real and lasting change

Share Your How-to Tips and Expertise And Earn Money

Know how to do some thing? Would you like to earn some cash? I found a cool new site that you need to visit. The site is howhub.com. Basically, the site works like this. First, set up a free account. You will also need a Google AdSense account if you do not already have one. Then you write a how to article on a topic for them to publish. The article should be on something you are knowledgeable about. Once the article is published you earn revenue from the Google AdSense ads running on your page within the site.

The site is building a community of how to articles. The goal is to be a premier site or resource when searching the net on how to do something. I would imagine that the hits to the site will be very high with all the content that will be added to the site on a daily basis. Also, I would think the more unique the how to article the better it will do. Worse case scenario you don't make much money but have a new resource when needing to find out how to do something. You never know you might write a few really good how to articles that get a decent amount of visitors and you make a few extra dollars along the way.

How To Write A Business Plan

A well developed business plan will greatly improve your chances of success. When writing your business plan, touch on all aspects of your business. This will include type of business, marketing, advertising, budget, and sales projections. Include anything you can think of that will have a material effect on the business.

What Is A Business Plan

A business is basically a document you create to determine what type of business you intend to run and how you plan to make it a success. It is a set of strategies you plan on implementing to keep the business running smoothly. It will also have goals that you plan on meeting. Its almost like a road map that you follow to keep your business on track.

General Guidelines For Writing A Business Plan.

Here are some guidelines to use when putting your business plan together. These guidelines are basic suggestions.

• Mission Statement: This is a sentence or more that describes what your business stands for. This could include the values of the business and or the type of customer service you will stand by
• Financial Plan: If your running a small home business or something on a larger scale, you should put together a sound budget. You need to identify all the expenses that will be involved in getting your business started. You need to do this so you can have a clear understanding of where your cash is. There is a saying in business that Cash Is King. If you do not have any cash you will have a hard time staying in business. If you can maintain positive cash flow you can stay in business even if your not yet profitable.
• The Idea: All this is, is stating the business you will be starting. Will you be selling a product or providing a service. It could also include the business name.
• Sales and Marketing: In this section you need to clearly state how you plan to attract customers and make sales. Included should be potential market size, information on the competition and why your idea is better, and how you plan to promote your business.
• Goals: It is a good idea to set some short and long term goals for the business. You can use them as a barometer for the direction of the business. Meeting or exceeding goals along the way will help you determining the success of the business. It can also help foresee upcoming changes that need to be made due to unforeseen changes to the business or industry.

Putting together a good plan following this guide or something similar to this is the first step to any successful business venture. Just as you would not leave your house to go somewhere and did not know how to get there, you should not start a business with out a plan. Will you absolutely fail without a plan...no but the odds of success are decreased.

Blogging to the Bank 3.0 Do Not Purchase Here's Why

Summary:

I have set up multiple blogs on Blogger.com. The one thing I did not like was the templates. I could not get the look I wanted for my blog. Then I came across Blogging to the Bank 3.0 by Rob Benwell. The sales pitch is that it will show you how to set up a blog. It would also show you how to customize it, optimize it for traffic and if you wanted to make money it would also show how to do that. Having some experience albeit not much I felt that this was something I wanted to look into more. I surfed the net for information on the product and decided to give it a shot. I realized rather quickly I should not have wasted my money.

The main problem I have with the product is that it is more of bait and switch to me. In my opinion Rob is using this eBook to get customers to sign up with his hosting company. This is pretty clever if you ask me. Why get a one time $37 by trying to sell old rehashed information you already sold in Blogging to the bank 2.0, when you can get a customer to sign up for a service that you will charge them for on a monthly basis, hopefully for years to come. One of the steps in setting up the blog is getting your own domain name and hosting account. Guess who owns the hosting company he recommends....that's right Rob Benwell.

This eBook does give you somewhat detailed instructions on how to get started. However, unless you have some beginner experience in setting up a blog and using html you will be disappointed. Rob claims it is for beginners, and it is. It is just not for the absolute beginner. If you want a blog that looks different from most blogs you will have problems. If you don't know what ftp is, you will have problems. If you have never heard of html you will have problems, even if you use the template he includes. I say this because the instructions in the ebook are not detailed enough to guide you through the process. For example the steps on customizing your blog leaves out small bits of key information you could use to get this done. Unless you had some prior experience it will be hard to get passed this step and you will have a basic looking Word Press blog if you continue. This is the main reason not to buy this product. You can go to Word Press and get a blog that will look like that for free.

After that there is basic information on how to optimize and monetize your blog that can be found for free all over the web. Unless your lazy and don't want to search

Bottom Line:
If you really want to learn how to set up a blog to make money or just to blog you can get all the information you need by typing how to set up a blog into a web search bar. I would recommend this route. You could also get started at Blogger.com is very simple to use and you can use it to get your feet wet.

There is a lot of very useful information in this ebook just don't pay for it because all the information it contains is out there on the web for free, unless your lazy and don't want to do any research. If this is the case blogging may not be for you anyway

A Potential 100% Investment Return In Weeks

Got a high appetite for risk and have little faith in the economy, I have something for you, Proshares ultra short ETFs. These ETF track the daily performance of a particular index and provide double the inverse of the daily returns of that index. This is what creates the high volatility. They trade easily just like individual stocks. They even have some funds that are 3x short the market. I have seen some of these ETFs move over 100% in value in the space of a week. You really want to be on the right side of the trade with these or you can get wiped out really quickly, but if you’re on the right side it's great. There is an ETF for specific baskets of stocks. Example there is one for financial stocks, retail, real estate, international, and more. So you can pick your sector and go. One problem with these is they reset each day so you don't want to hold for more than a couple of days. They also seem to lose a little bit of value each day when the market is somewhat flat. However on days where the Dow has has big swings or just goes steadily down from the open, these can move 10-30% in a day. I have seen one move 40% in a day before and over 100% in a week Look at the chart of SKF below around the dates of Nov 15 and the 23 the ETF went from around $150 to $300. That is real movement.

Now let me say I am making no guarantees that these ETFs will make any moves like that again. Please don't invest based on what I say. I just wanted to point this out to any one who has a high-risk appetite and is looking for a opportunity.

Proshare not only goes short but they go long as well. If you feel the worst is behind us then look at the ultra long ETFs they act the same as the short funds just opposite. I have include a list of the funds currently offered by Proshares it has a brief description of the funds plus some performance stats. For more Info visit http://www.proshares.com/

A Survival Guide For The Economic Times

Here is my survival guide for getting through these tough economic times

The first thing not to do is panic. Don’t make any knee-jerk reactions or decisions regarding your finances. Take the time to think about your particular financial situation and act accordingly. If you haven’t in the past take the time to watch the financial news stations a couple of night a week. Stay in touch with what’s going on with the economy. Pay attention to any new tax laws that may help you. With a new administration coming into office make sure you know how any new laws affect you. Click Here to see Barack Obama's proposed stimulus package and if it may affect you.

Getting as much information as you can before making decisions about your finances will better your chances of making the correct ones. If you have an Individual Retirement Account or company 401(k) investment plan, check to see what funds you are investing in. Make sure that they are right for the times. You can easily and immediately change your fund mix. Check with your company’s human resources department if you are unsure how to do this. Diversify the mix of your funds. That is a good rule and should always be your goal, whatever the condition of the economy. Diversification simply means to spread your investments between stocks, bonds and cash. It could also include international funds, indexed funds and fixed-income funds.

Manage your credit wisely. Try to use less credit whenever possible. Check your credit report often. Find out how you can keep your credit score high. Doing this will help you get better interest rates if you need to obtain new credit in the future. Pay bills on time. If you are out shopping and have the cash or means to pay, stick to that. Don’t open an in-store account just to get a discount.

Credit-card rates continue to soar, often in the 20 percent neighborhood. Pay attention to your bill. Card issuers are changing the rates they are charging their customers. The rate change is generally higher. If this happens to you, call you Credit Card Company and complain. Let them know you plan on closing the account if the rate is not lowered. If you have had the account in good standing for a long period of time they should comply.

Be aware of the ATM withdrawal fees charged by your bank. While some banks waive fees for all ATM transactions on any ATM machine, most don’t. So be sure to use only those ATM machines where your bank will not charge the fees. Avoid credit cards which charge an annual fee. Credit cards with their cash back bonuses and reward points are a great way to save some money. Just make sure that the card does not charge you any annual fees! There are many card offers that offer no fee, so there really is no reason to pay one.

In a downturn, however, families in shaky financial condition or uncertain employment may have to make a difficult choice. If your paycheck is steady and secure, then continue to whack away at credit-card debt. For people with unstable incomes or a chance of being laid off, try to find a way to put away more emergency savings. Continue to spend and invest, but be more cautious about it if you fear that your job or your company may be at risk. The shakier your job, the more cautious you should be.

Pat attention and be adaptable Change often comes with trying times. Be someone who moves easily through change. The more you stay in touch with the news and information around you the easier this will be. Try to have a backup plan no matter how prepared you think you are sometimes, unexpected changes can happen.

Ways to save.

1. Spend only on the needs, not wants. This is a hard thing for most but be realistic with your self you know what you really need from what you just want.
2. If you don’t already track your money. Twice a day take the time to write down how much you have spent that day and on what you brought. This is a good way to see if you are making unnecessary or wasteful purchases.
3. Take the time to read your bills, such as your cell phone bill, cable, and utility bills. This is another area to find savings. Cancel any cell phone services you don’t use or could get by without all together. Learn your utility bill so you will be able to notice any strange charges, same with the cable bill. Look for new promotions with your cable company or your cell phone provider.
4. Set up a budget. Once you have been tracking your money for a couple of weeks you will be able to set up a good budget. You will have a better understanding of what it is you spend on. You will be able to make a budget you can stick to.
5. Stop paying for things you can do yourself. If you need some work done around the house or to the car make some time and do it yourself. The most expensive part of home and car repairs is the labor. It might take away from some of your relax time but it will be more money in your pocket.
6. Plan your errands. Try to do as much in one outing. The more you can do the more efficient it will be on gas and time.
7. Change your entertainment. If you normally go out, find tings to do inside. Rent movies instead of going. If you really like the movie experience go to a matinee. Find new bars or clubs that have no cover charge. Drink a few less beers. If you go out a few nights a week stay home one extra night. If you smoke think about quitting. Not only will it have a tremendous health benefit, but also it is a big saving if you’re a heavy smoker.
8. Clip coupons when going grocery shopping. This can be a big savings. When you don’t have a coupon consider buying the generic brand instead of the name brand. Try to load up on bargains especially if it is a non-perishable item. Buy in bulk when possible. Clipping coupons extends beyond groceries there are coupons for just about anything you need to buy. You just have to take some time to find them
9. Take your lunch to work a few times a week. Instead of wasting those leftovers bring them to work and save on buying lunch each day. Buy sodas and snacks from the grocery store and bring to work instead of buying them

These are some things you can incorporate into your daily life that can help you have more money in your pocket. Times are tough right now and you should make every effort to conserve even if you don’t feel the effects right now. If times get worse or if you situation changes, you will have a process in place that will help. Always be on the lookout for opportunities that may help your financial situation.

Create A Intention Manifesting Scrapbook

Here is a good idea to help with your intentions and affirmations.....create a scrapbook that you can look through each night. It is as simple as getting some colorful construction paper and cutting out pictures from magazines and taping them onto the paper. You can also write words of inspiration. You can use personal photos or anything you want to attract into your life. The more pages the better. Orgaize each page so you have similar things on it. Also create a vision page. Once finished, this might be the most valuable book you own

My Intention

This is my new intention. It may seem far-fetched, but I believe in it. This is just one of my intentions that I read aloud and meditated on daily. It will come to fruition

In an easy and relaxed manner, in a healthy and positive way, in it's own perfect time, for the highest good of all, I intend $1,000,000.00 to come into my life and into the lives of everyone who has this intention.

Write it down, say it each day and believe it!

The Power of Intentions, How To Create One & Get It To Manifest

Get clear Idea about what it is you want to manifest. Once you know what intentions you want to manifest meditate on it. Through meditation you can put yourself into a very relaxed state of mind. Once you are in this state of mind, concentrate on your intention for at least 60 seconds. Meditation is nothing complicated; there are plenty of podcasts you can download from iTunes Click Here for a more in depth meditation site. Visualize your intention in your mind’s eye, get a clear picture what your life will be like once the intention has already manifested. You should have a lot of positive emotions in your visualizations as well. Don’t try to manifest intentions that you do not have a strong desire or passion for. If I can’t create strong positive emotions, then I know there’s no real desire. Intentions without desire or passion will have very little chance to manifest. So if I don’t really, really want it to be a part of you life there’s no point in intending it.

After about 24-48 hours of putting out a new intention, look for some sort of validation that the intention is taking hold. Normally this takes the form of a very noticeable event. Sometimes the event is part of manifesting the results; other times it just seems to be an acknowledgement that the intention was received.

Now this event can die down pretty quickly, and then you may start to think all of this manifestation of intentions does not work. Please do not let this frustrate you. A lot of people may give up during this time. This is the period most crucial to making sure the intention manifests. Be careful to avoid putting out conflicting intentions. If you start harboring thoughts like, “Why isn’t this working?” or “I wonder if this will work,” you will kill the intention. You must believe and know it will work.

As you continue to hold the intention and fully expect its manifestation, you will begin to experience a different type of event. This may begin more than a week after the intention is first formed. Whereas the first event is just an acknowledgement that the intention has been received, this event is realization that intention is really beginning manifest.
The feeling of this event lasts longer, stronger, and slower than the original event. Both originated with the same event, but they reach you at different times. This second event generally arrives in three forms: ideas, opportunities, and resources. You will first experience a noticeable surge in ideas related to my original intention. These ideas may come in the form of spontaneous inspiration, or they may arrive through other people. Sometimes a good idea is all you need to manifest what you want. This event can also bring new opportunities. Often these seem to come out of nowhere. Someone you don’t even know may bring you a juicy opportunity related to your intention, even though you haven’t told anyone about it yet. Lastly, this event brings new resources, which may include information, people, money, etc, whatever is required to manifest the intention.

It’s still important to continue holding the intention during this reflection, but it’s not as difficult as during the pre-event lull because now you have some genuine momentum. It doesn’t require as much faith to see that the intention is starting to manifest — even the logical mind is able to see it coming together. The main thing is to keep your logical mind from screwing it up by trying to control the process too much.

If your thoughts are clear and focused, you’ll manifest your desires relatively quickly and easily. If your thoughts are jumbled and chaotic, you’ll manifest a seemingly random and haphazard life for yourself.

One of the keys is to fully accept that staying focused on your desires is absolutely critical, not optional. Regardless of whether you think the universe is objective or subjective, know that your dominant thoughts are the key determinants of my results in your life. Your thoughts control your decisions, and your decisions over time control your results. Decided to take conscious control of your thoughts no matter what. You can no longer afford to have your mind dwelling on things you don’t want.

It requires significant mental discipline to manifest both events of your intentions. Without the ability to stay mentally focused on what you want, noisy and conflicting mental chatter will destroy your best intentions before they have a chance to take root. It may take years of practice to develop the ability to stay focused on what you want. But the time is going to pass anyway, so you might as well put it to good use. I’ve even found it helpful to simply intend to get better at manifesting.

The 10day 100k Experiment

Here is a test I can accross on line I decided to give it a try. I wanted to post it so other can try it. If nothing else it is just another tool to get me and you in a better frame of mind. One constatnt theme I am finding on my new journey is that you must have some sort of action plan along with positive thoughts. This plan seems only to focus on positive affamations. However if you use these affamations along with some positive steps you may already be taking then maybe this will be a boost.

OK lets shoot for $100,000 in 10 days.

Respond to this thread if you will try the 10 day test. Ok here you go:

The magic of believing will help you gain tremendous rewards. Let's look at an example of belief. When you have pains in your chest, you may become alarmed. After you make an appointment with your doctor, he will give you a complete examination and tell you to come back in order to go over the test results. On the second visit, the doctor tells you that all the tests come back negative and that there is nothing to be concerned about. He explains that perhaps you were affected by stress and that you should try to relax. If you do not feel better, he suggests that you can come back for another visit.

Having heard the good news that nothing is wrong, you leave the doctor’s office suddenly feeling fantastic. Your mind gets rid of all your aches and pains that you thought were real.

Belief in something, including your own health, is very powerful. If you learn how to capitalize on the power of belief, you can alter your life for the good.

What if someone promised to pay you $100,000 in return for following a 10-day plan that was not hazardous in any way, morally acceptable to you, and which was guaranteed to improve your life? Would you agree to follow the plan? You probably would because you wanted the $100,000 reward.
Here’s the $100,000 self-improvement plan that I am giving you:
The $100,000 Self Improvement Experiment*

3. Three times a day - before leaving home each morning, while traveling, and before going to sleep - repeat your own “Positive Self-Suggestion Statements.”here's examples of Positive Self-Suggestion Statements. Must be stated out loud...

Each day for the next ten days you must look for the good in every situation. No matter how bad it may be, you must find something good about it. Even if the car runs out of gas, say something like this, “That's good; now I can get some needed exercise!” If it starts raining on you, you could say, “The rain is good. We needed more water for the flowers and birds.” No matter what happens, you must find good in it and believe there is good happening around you.

Each night before you go to sleep, you are to read for one hour, but you must also read a self-help book.
I'm sure you can fulfill this 10-day plan, especially if you want to be paid the $100,000. Would you still continue the plan if you knew that the company promising the $100,000 went bankrupt on the second day that you started on the plan?

Many people would give up. Not because they could not complete the plan, but because they were only motivated by the $100,000 offer. Those are the people who may never be successful because they do not have a personal plan and they are not willing to keep working to improve themselves despite a setback with the $100,000 reward.

Are you willing to be different? Do you dare to try to be different? Are you willing to stand out from the crowd? Are you able to put aside people laughing at you or questioning what you are doing in order to accomplish something great, which they do not see? If people do not see immediate success, are you willing to continue on with your dream?

Ever since you were a child, you have been making choices for your life. Now is the time to chose to be different in order to achieve the greatest success possible in what you want to accomplish. Have fun with this... And keep believing until you have the $100.000.

I believe you can DO IT.

The Laws Of Attraction

I have been doing some reading on the Laws of Attraction. I have read snippets from articles I have googled on the web. The problem is I have only found incomplete articles. They either just tell you what it is, a general concept, or try to show you how to incorporate it into your life but fail. I think because the articles are to general in nature. I recently ordered this ebook on the subject. (to see or purchase Click Here!). I wanted to see if paying would get me better information than what was out there on the web for free. Well you really get what you pay for. This ebook was fill with information. I plan on using this information to help me get to a place I belong. Just being a positive person is not enough. You need to learn how to channel that positive energy to get the result you want. Research all you can on the subject it is a great way to have a positive frame of mind. This ebook can get you started. The pitch page is pretty long winded but the content is quite valuable.

So How Does One Become Fufilled

So from what I have been hearing and reading, the people in life that are the most fulfilled and happy are those that do what they love and have found a way to generate income from that. Now that is easier said than done, but if others have done it it is not impossible. I found a great article See Article Here on a blog I read. It is titled 10 reasons you should never get a job. Now reading it, it makes perfect sense. The problem is finding your niche. The article basically states don't trade your time for money with an employer. It says you should find ways to be able to generate a income even when your not working. Like I said this is easier said than done. The author of the article believes that if you have reasonable intelligence you can do it. I tend to agree but it will be a challenge. There are so many ways today to try and earn your own living. The Internet is filed with ways to to do that from online business to eBay. Most of these ways I'm sure are saturated but if you can develop a niche you can make it.

You will have to be a brave soul to leave what you have come accustomed to doing, going to work but you have to have a plan and some goals. Once you can get these things together you will be on your way. There is nothing worse than setting out to make a change without a plan. Doing this will just leave you chasing dreams and wasting time and money. You will begin to fall for everything and wonder why it is not as advertised. This will lead to feeling discouraged and may cause you to give up on that new life you had envisioned for yourself. Don't start a business just because you are unhappy with your situation now and want a change. You must do what you love to do or you will still be unhappy. You should do this even if you are not getting paid for it right away. Just doing it will bring you some level of happiness. Start out being a volunteer for a local organization or something along those lines. This can be a way to lead yourself to something more involved and possibly a way to generate some income from it. I started coaching youth football in my town. I love football and wanted a way to be around the game other than watching on TV. This is a very rewarding thing for me. I plan on coaching as long as possible. Now right now I do not get paid for it but that's fine because I love to do it. Who knows where it could take me in the future, maybe a paid coaching position. This is just one way that one can find some fulfillment in their life. It is a fulfilling part of my life even if it's a small part for now.

If I knew this is how it would have turned out, I would have stayed in school. That is how I now feel. At this point in my life I now believe that is where I went wrong, that decision put me in survival mode today. That along with the fact that I spent to much of my working life working and not looking for other income streams. I am now middle aged and have some deep concerns about where my life is headed. I do not have a career just a job, therefore I find myself constantly wanting to find another one. I get bored of the work I'm doing. At times I start to feel very unfulfilled. Most times I just want more out of life and I know just working at a job is not going to do it. I feel writing about it will help me and I hope it will help others. My goal for this blog is to have a network of people who have similar feelings to get some ideas flowing so we can get a more productive feeling from life. So as I sit here, I should be working but have decided to start this blog. I am working as an consultant or a glorified temp as I call myself. This job could end at any point and time my client decides. This really keeps my mind going as I feel so dependant on others and not enough on my self. I feel this blog will be a way to keep my mind active and open. I no longer want to feel complacent in my life. I need to create and feel a sense of urgency, this will lead me to action. I am on a mission to find out how others are doing, how they have created a better life for themself and I plan on modeling those people. I would love to hear back from readers who want to share there experience. I want to read about those who have made a lasting change or those who are in that process. Share some of the ways and plans of action being used. Let us know what has worked and what has not.
