Think about this idea for a moment. Let it sink in as to what I'm telling you here. What is your favorite pass-time? What is your hobby?

Do you get burnt out when you are spending time on your hobbies?

Does an auto enthusiast watch clock at a Saturday afternoon drag race?

Does a knick-knack fanatic get bored at world's largest flea market?

Do sports fans wish football season was much shorter?

If you develop your business around a topic that you love, that you enjoy spending time on, that you can't wait to get home and fire up computer to work on...

motivation becomes a non-issue.

Besides...isn't enjoying what you do one of key factors to success? I hate to be one to break it to you, but true happiness isn't all about money.

Persistence - You have to stick with it. You can't quit. Don't lose faith.

There will be bad times, but you have to keep going. You won't make as much money as you wanted to one month. You won't get quite as many subscribers or visitors out of that advertising campaign. The 'killer ad' that you just knew was going to pull like crazy...won't.

These setbacks are a fact of life. Accept them and deal with them accordingly. Learn from your mistakes and move on.

If you keep right attitude during bad times, good times will be that much sweeter.

Luck - Yep, its going to take a little luck as well. But if you follow above guidelines, you can make your own good luck.

Luck is being in right place at right time. Luck is making right decision at that crucial moment. Luck is buying low and selling high. Luck is realizing that you made a mistake and correcting it right before everything crashes.

The more knowledgeable you are about your subject matter, more time you spend educating yourself about it, more you work at becoming an expert in your field, more luck you will have!

When you know ins-and-outs of your industry, you WILL be in right place at right time. You WILL know when to buy and when to sell. You WILL know what decisions to make, and when to make them.

Correcting a mistake? This is nothing more than testing an idea and dumping ones that didn't work.

Don't sit back and leave it to fate...

make your own good luck!

So, whenever I'm asked how can you become successful on Net, I tell them to work hard, pick a subject that they totally enjoy, learn everything they can about that subject, stay strong during bad times, and stick with it!

Friend, we have available to us today power to reach out and influence more people than have existed throughout all of mans combined history. Let us not waste this precious opportunity. If you are reading this, you have same ability and opportunity as everyone else on this medium. There are no limitations other than your imagination. What will you do with it? Will you use it to create an empire for yourself and your future generations (as many are doing) or will you fail to recognize potential of a few strategically placed bits and bytes on computer screens of millions and millions of computer users worldwide.

Most people are looking for leaders and innovators. Men and women who aren't afraid to take chances. People who will follow you if they sense that you are firm in your convictions and willing to stand up for them. Did you know that Marconi (the fellow who discovered radio waves) was committed to an insane asylum by his friends before they took him seriously. Today it is cool to be on cutting edge of change and if you are willing to embrace this rapidly evolving technological beast and tame it to your own purposes... well world really could be your oyster.

If you are ready to roll up your sleeves and work, you have already jumped ahead of most people. The challenge is that most people aren't willing to put in necessary effort, but then again, that's why it is such a fantastic opportunity for enlightened few. Consider Thomas Edison and his light bulb. He documented 10,000 experiments before success found him. Was his effort worth it? Without it you wouldn't be reading these words.

Don't wait, water temperature has never been better, there's still room for you to make a splash... jump in with both feet, just be prepared to start paddling. This new medium of communication is no respecter of persons. Age, sex, color, religion, size, family background, past history, etc.; it makes no difference to bits and bytes, they respond as well to you as anybody else. There is only one rule... "Just do it." What you do today could repay you a hundred fold tomorrow.

Here's what you need to do to get started:

1) Learn as much as you possibly can. But don't let this slow down your involvement

2) Create or find a product or service that you can promote wholeheartedly.

3) Jump in. Get yourself a solid Internet presence.

4) Get busy! Market that product.

Sounds rather simple doesn't it. In fact it requires a lot of effort, but steps are simple enough and rewards are certainly worth it.
