HOW SOON WILL YOU BE ABLE TO MAKE MONEY ONLINE?

Well, that’s the trick question of all trick questions =P. And the (safe) answer is NOBODY KNOWS. Like I’ve mentioned in my other post, you CAN start an online business, but you can NOT expect to make money off it in days.

Granted, some people get profitable in weeks, but others take months and sometimes years. For me, it took years, but I was also going about things very differently than most people, and I also had a large debt to overcome. I built a business from scratch with nothing more than an idea and desire and now I can work full-time for my online business and I don’t have to worry about working part-time jobs or where my next meal is coming from.

But remember, I started in 2005 and it is now 2007. But, this is what I mean when I say to get started now because if you don’t, you will be sitting someplace in 2010 wishing you had.

The best time to have planted a tree was 5 years ago; the second best time is today!

The best time for you to have started building your online business was 5 years ago, and the second best time is right now today. Are you going to wait until gas gets to $5 a gallon or your commute is 2 hours or your company goes out of business before you start? Don’t do it! You have to start now and you have to stick with it and you will make a success of yourself.

I was reading an article today where people are paying $300 per month for a seat on a commuter bus. They have to catch this bus at 4:30 in the morning and they get home about 6 at night. Now assuming they only spend 30 minutes getting ready for work, they are spending 14 hours working for 8 hours worth of production. They are losing 6 hours of their life, ever single day. That is 65 days per year that is gone from their lives forever! Now the time is one thing, but they are also spending $3,600 per year just to get to and from work.

If these people had half a brain, they would start working from home, and spend 14 hours a day on their own company and take that $3,600 and invest in advertising. I can guarantee if they did this religiously for one year, they would be making more money online within 12 months than they are now, spending all that time and money away from home and their families.

Granted, not everyone can or will do this, but 65 days lost each year just to get to and from work. This means that over the course of 10 years, they are losing 2 full years of life. This is just crazy and people do this all over the country because they just don’t know any better or they are too afraid of success or they just don’t think about it and nobody has shown them a better way. As you are looking to build your online business, keep this in mind when prospecting. Hit some of the 6 hour commuters with some simple facts and you can grow your business very quickly =P.
