billboards along the roads and on the side or top of buildings
that is vacant. Television and radio would say, "This...

Freedom through Internet Business
After 23 year of corporate life and 9 years of working as a
manager for a state funded insurance company service was like
some many before me laid off from my job. But unlike many others
I knew the lay-off was an important turning point in my life. A
big picture person I realized that most people in the
organization I had just left could not or would not see things
the way he did. On many occasions I would express what I thought
was good money making idea only to have these people of limited
dreams laugh in my face. Many times I would read about these
same ideas 3 to 5 years later as the next big money makers.
It was obvious that my thoughts, concepts and dreams could not
be fully expressed in the corporate world of honey bee (or
should I say African killer Bee) like drones who could not
between the lot of them come up with an original idea unless the
boss asked them to. These people whose greatest desire was to go
on vacation for two weeks a year when the boss said they could.
Would not ever be able to understand who I was or what I was
about. I don't know how I made it through 23 years of dealing
with them and not go crazy
When he was told about the layoff unlike many others I was not
angry, a sigh of relief came over me that I had not felt for
years. With in two weeks I had lost the few (30) pounds that I
gained during my stay and so many of the act and pains that I
once had were gone. My next step was to find a way to make some
money, and the internet seemed to be the perfect place for me.
Now whenever you take on any life changing endeavors you need
support. I thought I had the support of my wife, but she had
only known the years of stability that I had with the job. Who
did I think I was trying to change direction in midstream? What
sense did it make to give up my future for a dream? I wondered
if what I was doing was the right thing for her. I had to show
her that I could be successful and that I would still the person
that she could depend on.
I created a few website trying my luck with affiliate programs
and a bodybuilding website
smart-bodybuilding.com but none of this made any money. This
kind of discouraged me because I knew that I had to make it in
the online business, I thought deep down inside that this was
where I needed to be. I knew this was what I was born to do. But
hey, for the first time in my life I was not making money. What
gives?
After about a month of losing money in one get rich scam after
another I began to wonder if I should not go back to corporate
America and become a worker drone just like all my friends. Then
the word of my father came into my
head. "Troy, do what make
you feel good and the money will come at that moment I
dispelled any thought of not succeeding and continued to move I
a positive direction.
One day, not so long ago I came across and advertisement while
surfing for hits (this is a practice which is quite common among
internet business people or at least I thought) this
advertisement was colorful and eye catching and had everything
that would turn me off from advertisements bright highlighted
words at the top and unbelievable promises about how I could
make money online. I had read it all before and I knew this one
was no different, but for reason that I can't explain I read it.
I liked what the ad had to say, and heck the price was perfect
for me (free) I just could not believe that what he was saying
was true. Within a few days I had my own website up
and running, and I was an affiliate with not one but 5 programs.
With a perfect step by step program that explained everything
that I need to know. I was finally seeing how this internet
stuff worked.
It's been almost 4 month since I left my job and I have not
become rich with what I am doing yet. But I do understand how to
get things going and for the first time in these last few months
my future looks much better.
Look being self-employed is not for everyone. Its hard work, a
lot of hard work! You may have heard on the radio or saw on the
TV stories of people making ungodly amounts of money working
form themselves with ebay or in real-estate . But what you did
not hear is they worked their tails off. Hey if you are going to
work your tail off make it for yourself; your family; not for
someone that has power to fire you and change your life at any
time he/she feels. So go after your dreams I can not express
enough the power and freedom that you get form starting your own
business. I feel it, and I know there are a lot of you reading
this article right now that want that freedom also. My
suggestion to you is if it's in your deepest most intimate
feelings that you should start your own business then you
should. I can't promise you success, but if you do nothing, I
surely can promise you failure.
