I'm sure if you're like most of us you think of big oil money. You've probably also heard various stories and anecdotes about man and his life.

If you thought about it a little farther, you'd probably visualize a no nonsense, nose to grind stone business man.

Well you'd be right, but there would be more to picture than meets eye.

J. Paul did what he did because he loved what he was doing. In his book "The Millionaires Secret Of Getting Rich," he wrote that he considered wealth a by product of his efforts.

He loved game. He didn't consider what he did as work.

Do you love what you are doing?

It gave me a chance to reflect on my experience in developing and starting my own Internet Business and Web Site. It took me almost 7 months of study and research to formulate my business plan and implement business model so I have a lot to share.I thought it would be appropriate to share it in this eZine. After all, it is dedicated to helping beginner Internet entrepreneurs get started with an online business - and sooner or later, be their own boss!

I asked myself: "If I can boil down what I've learned in last 7 months, what lessons have I learned as keys to starting my own Internet venture?" Here's are 5 KEY ANSWERS I came up with.

1. Discover and Seek Your PASSION

I found that this is first and most important key. Your passion is wellspring from which your energy and enthu- siasm comes from. If you love what you do and do what you love then you're doing what I call "pure joy of work". It's not even "work" anymore, it becomes a way of life - it's what author and speaker Jim Rohn calls "The Art ofLiving".

Some of you might have heard or even read book "Do what you Love.The Money will Follow". I agree with that statement. You have to be passionate about what you do.People will notice your passion (or lack of it) in your business or chosen endeavor. Once people discern this passion, they will follow you and they will buy your ideas, goods and services.

I've known for a while that I'm passionate about being my own boss, being self-employed.I have been an employee, an employer and self-employed. Nothing beats self-employment, in my own opinion. It hits you like a "bug" when you "catch" it - BYOB (Be Your Own Boss) Bug. I am also passionate about know- ledge and learning especially with Internet making it even easier to access any information anywhere in world. Having discovered this early on, I started a web site devoted to helping people learn how to become their own boss --- using most powerful means of communication known to humanity ­ The Internet.

Thus, http://www.SuccessAccess.com "The Newbie Netpreneur's FIRST ACCESS to Net Success" was born.
