Do you feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders? That if you don't make this business thing work, your life is going to flat fall apart? Do you wonder what it takes to be that successful online business?

I know I've gone through this, and more than once in my online career. Life online can be extremely overwhelming for most of us.

I heard something the other day that reminded me why this feeling is so prevalent when starting an online business.

Unfortunately, by the time we realize that we need to do something to supplement our income, and we turn to online marketing (of some sort) we are already desperate. We're looking for the easy fix to our monetary problem.

But the truth is, what we're looking for doesn't exist. It never has. If you think about it, life has all these growth steps, from birth to school, to college, marriage, etc. It takes time to learn (ie, 12 years of grammar school, 4-10 years of college, time to find and develop the relationship of the one you want to spend the rest of your life with).

So why do we expect an online business to be any different? Why do we expect to put up a website, send out some emails and wallah, hundreds of dollars just come flying at us.

Well, I know when I first got started in this online thing, I had no idea that I was really building a business. At that time, what I heard was some guy sitting at home in his underwear making thousands of dollars online. You may or may not remember him.

But he and others similar were advertising how easy it was, but what they were teaching didn't make sense to the non-risk taker.

You see, normal everyday people don't think like millionaires. We were raised to get a job, promote within and retire. Well, that worked for my parents, but not for me. I always wanted more out of a job.

So as I began searching online for opportunities, overwhelm set in. You get started in one business, but then you have to buy this tool, this program, get this mentor; you get the point.

I actually stepped out of the online marketing venture for about 5 years. I got so tired of just be sold to.

When I realized that I quit because of the need to learn how to build a business, nurture and not be the guru or salesperson, I realized I found my niche.

I just want to help people find a way to generate the level of income they are comfortable with, using only the tools they need when they need them, to be successful the first time.

Baby steps with daily activities are the key to success.

I want to thank WA for remembering this with the type of training offered here.

So here's to everyone's success!
