It is true, YOU CAN make lots of money on Internet. But there are also many pitfalls that must be avoided. The actual know-how of being successful comes with effort, research, and massive action. Doesn't sound like it is preferred environment for your "live-on-the-couch entrepreneur-millionaire", does it?

Free yourself from your self-imposed limitations, fears and dogma.

There are a number of reasons why some people are successful in what they do, where others tend to fail. Instead of trying to put blame on elsewhere, why not start looking at yourself? We all need to confront our own personal inhibitors. We acquired these over years from childhood to adolescence, to mature grown-ups. Some of our past experiences have created many limitations we impose on ourselves over years. We many times lose our dreams on way when we came to face realities of real world.

All successful people have some things in common. They KNOW what they want. Their "dreams" form a clear-cut vision in Technicolor in their minds. They know exactly what to do, when, and why. How did they get to that point? I suggest you read Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich". It outlines many of personal challenges that YOU have to overcome. YOU need correct mindset, right attitude first of all.

Do YOU think like a millionaire? Can YOU clearly visualize yourself in that successful position? Then only do you THINK success, ACTION success, and become SUCCESS. Download this e-book for free at http://www.yieldprofit.com/newsletters hinkandgrowrich.zip and INVEST TIME FIRST OF ALL IN YOURSELF.

For every offline business owner having several direct competitors on same street is a nightmare, demanding taking unordinary steps in order to "keep afloat". For every online business owner hundreds, if not tens of thousands, direct competitors "on same street" are a usual and inevitable feature of running online business from very beginning. Crucial part of making a difference here is to implement innovative-based business tactics on a constant basis.

There are many strategies of unique marketing measures that brought success. I have personally emphasized importance of creating USP (Unique Selling Proposition), but all of these advices are nothing more than a way of innovation implementation.

Whether you are creating a new product, choosing a web-design, setting up customer support or developing marketing plan - be innovative and unique in your approaches.

Every starting solo professional on net experiences shortage in everything but probably a desire to succeed, so there is no point in reinventing wheel. Often we are forced to make a compromise. If we speak about marketing strategy your next move may be well-known, widely-used and, therefore, customer-response-depleted or, on other hand, innovative, unique and fresh, generating exposure you have never anticipated. Unfortinately many of us go "conservative" way and that is why are doomed to read success stories of others, trying to reproduce what thousands marketers do vainly.

We are given proven tools that work - USP, time management, branding, viral marketing, affiliate programs etc. they represent invented axe - a proven tool - with help of which we need to cross "Internet business ocean" and reach desired point "B", but it is for us to decide how wisely to use given axe.

The first one decided to throw it away and swim across, second built a raft, third added oars, while forth one in addition set a sail with a steering-wheel. What are you going to do? Rationalism teaches you to go best-known forth way, while innovation - set a second sail or invent a steam engine!
