In beginning there was a thought. You had an idea that you would start your own business, be your own boss and take charge of your own life. At that time you should have written purpose of business and how you were going to fulfill this purpose. Don’t lose sight of it.

The internet is constantly changing and evolving. Your goals and strategies may change but your purpose, reason you do what you do, should not change.

My purpose is to offer high-quality, low-cost vitamins and herbs to people so that they can enjoy a good and healthy life. That purpose has not changed but many of my goals to accomplish purpose have. If you don't change your approach with changing of internet you will be lost.

For example, part of my daily goals was to submit to FFAs. Before emergence of auto submitters that was a worthwhile daily goal. Now a site will be bumped from FFA listing in a matter of minutes and you will be bombarded with confirmation emails. Some say submitting to FFAs helps with site popularity in search engines. I agree, but I no longer submit to them daily. It usually is done on a weekly basis now.

Another change is I have developed a newsletter. This was not part of my original goals. I like to reach out to a specific client base and give them information and tools necessary to make an informative choice about their health. Before I stated newsletter I had to review my purpose and see if it lined up with it. You must always keep site of your purpose.

So you're starting a home-based business. You realize that getting up everyday, day after day, using some of your skills and knowledge to prosper someone else more than yourself is not your calling in life. You have skills buried inside of you trying to escape and reveal themselves. You are passionate about things you want to share with others. This passion, this desire is burning so bright within you, you find that even though you work hard all day long at a full-time job (this includes homemakers whose jobs are longer than average 9-5 job), you take care of personal matters after work, you still sit down in evening and begin fulfilling your dreams late into night. You're a Midnight Warrior.

Even though you've taken initiative to follow through with your plans, staying up late and working on your dreams only describes you on surface. A Midnight Warrior possesses qualities not found in most people. Let me spell it out for you:

Masterful, highly skilled, wise, yet teachable

Idealistic, a visionary who is constantly pursuing ideals

Determined, confidently settling and knowing inwardly you will succeed

Noble, showing greatness, high-quality in your work and product you offer, brave

Ingenious, having an inventive mind, clever
