Two went further on a path that was almost impossible to walk. They did manage to reach sixth floor. It was a hall full of diamonds of finest quality. Pleased with this one started filling his bags whereas other went into deep thoughts.

“What happened? You don’t want this” asked one who was filling.

“I wonder what could be next!”

“What else do you want? This is more than enough for seven lifetimes. Moreover I can’t see any doorway” Other man was astonished.

“But there is one floor left” said man who was determined and began his search.

“You have gone mad” said other and left with diamonds.

There was actually no door. The man searched every corner but none was to be found. That was until he saw roof and a rope hanging too small to reach. He jumped and failed.He tried repeatedly without success till he could not jump.

There has to be some way, he thought as he lay exhausted. There must be some way.

It was then an idea struck him. He made a heap of diamonds to reach and pulled rope. A doorway appeared in one of walls. Beyond that was a beautiful ladder. As he climbed a hand pulled him to seventh floor.

The king himself stood there “Welcome O worthy one! I can retire in peace now”

The man was appointed as king next day.

Nature too offers us a fortune of wealth that we can earn. Everybody wishes to be rich but not all are ready to fully walk path that leads to. Most of us who start get discouraged by initial unsuccessful attempts and stop. Others remain satisfied with nickels they are offered and leave journey.

Rare ones have determination to find actual wealth.

We can stop at silver or go beyond diamonds.

How far would you go?

It always amazes me how frequently people that start an online home based business actually believe that they can get rich by doing absolutely nothing, or at least with very little effort. These are otherwise intelligent people. Why would they believe this? My conclusion is that they believe because they want to believe. They believe because they see claims to this effect everyday and everywhere on Internet. They are told that it is possible. They not only want to believe it, for their own reasons, but they need to believe it.

In my opinion, you need to give yourself at least a year to make an online business get some traction and start to generate some meaningful income. The proper mindset is to think long term, not instant gratification. I am always surprised at number of people who drop out of their online home based business after first month or two. I ask myself, what do they expect, miracles? You probably wouldn't bail out of offline business after a month so why would you expect an online business to be any different?

Aside from fallacy of instant riches without any effort, expectation of a free ride is a frequent misconception of many that think they want to start an online home based business. If you're afraid, or unwilling, to invest a little money to start your own business...you are not looking at a home based business...you are looking at a work at home job. If you want to make money online, you must also be willing to invest in yourself. It's as plain and simple as that.
