Introduction

Welcome!

Hopefully this will be the beginning of your quest to start your own Internet business, or if you’ve already started, this guide will show you how to make your Internet business profitable.

Let me share with you how I got started …

Although I have earned multiple advanced degrees in both technology and business and been very successful in the corporate world, it wasn’t until I picked up and read Rich Dad, Poor Dad that I really experienced a true paradigm shift.

Sure, I always considered being an entrepreneur, however it wasn’t until AFTER I read Rich Dad, Poor Dad that I knew I could no longer work for others.

Thus began my quest to start my own business and to be financially free.

But what type of business?

A typical “brick and mortar” business requires a lot of capital and typically takes 3-5 years before earning a profit.

The answer became clear to me:  An Internet Business.

Reasons for choosing to start an Internet Business:

• Low start-up costs
• Low overhead expenses
• Fast ROI(return on investment)

But the main reason I chose to start my own Internet Business is LEVERAGE.

The Internet provides a huge amount of leverage to the average person like us.  No special skills or knowledge required, and it doesn’t require much money to get started.

Before you get started, however, you need to have a goal!  What is it you plan to achieve … whether it is in 3 months, 6 months, a year, or 5 years from now?  You need to know exactly what it is you plan to accomplish. And you need to write your goals down.  Begin with the end in mind. 

Mark Joyner has put together an awesome online course to help you identify and set your goals.

This online course illustrates the importance of goal setting and then what to do to stay focused and accomplish your goals (personal, professional, financial, and physical). It’s quick, easy, and amazingly simple to understand and use … hence the name! J

Not many gurus talk about this … but something we need to address up front; you need to manage your cash flow if you want to have a successful online business.  Your income should be MORE than your expenses.  Sounds obvious ... however very few people actually practice this principle.

When starting out, you need to watch your expenses very closely.

There are hundreds of eBooks, courses, DVD sets, software, and gadgets that you will be tempted to purchase.  You need to practice restraint!  That is the purpose of this guide … to help identify the basic resources you need to get started online and make a profit.

Consider your business goals each time you consider making a purchase.  Does the product or service support your business goal? 

Please make purchases wisely … invest only in products/services that will help you to achieve your goals.

●●●●●

You need to understand and acknowledge from the start in order for your Internet Business to be successful and profitable it is going to require: Time, Effort, and Money.  You *will* need to make an investment in all three of these aspects in order to succeed.

We’ve provided you with information (a proven system; detailed instructions; resources; insider tips, tricks, and techniques gained from years of experience and costly mistakes and failures) to help reduce your time, expenses, and effort while expediting your ability to make a profit.

Sure you can spend lots of time looking for better deals and ways to save money … but that will take you away from making money.  What we have done is provided you with the tools, services, and resources we use.  In almost all cases they are both the best value and the most effective solutions.

We’ve tried to provide 3 options whenever possible:  1) FREE, 2) Minimal Cost, and 3) Industry Standard Products and Services.

We suggest you check out all options provided and purchase only what you can afford until you start generating some income. 

There are certain expenses that are unavoidable: domain registration, web hosting, autoresponder, other special services, etc. and should be viewed as the cost of doing business online.

At the end of each step we summarize:

• Actions to take
• Resources
• Time Required

Our estimates tend to be to the conservative side take into consideration that a learning curve is involved for most people.  You may be able to perform steps in less time depending on your experience.

Don’t be discouraged if it takes you more time to complete a step than stated.  There is a definite learning curve involved in performing each step.  After you have completed a step successfully, it will be a lot quicker and easier for you to perform the step the next time, and each time thereafter.

Just be sure to complete a step each day.  If you do so, you will have your website up and running within 2 weeks (14 days) … that’s all it takes to create a fully functional website.

Obviously in time you will become more proficient and may even be able to create a website in as little as a day. 

Please learn from our mistakes!  Doing so will save you time, money, effort, and most importantly a lot of frustration, which will prevent you from giving up.

The following key points will help you succeed in your online venture:

• Have reasonable expectations – if it sounds to good to be true then it probably is.

• Set REALISTIC and attainable goals … you can always set higher/more challenging goals later

• Develop a plan.  Put it in writing.  And set dates.
  

• Use a system ... preferably a proven system.  Follow through and complete every step of the system.

• Commit to work your plan for at least 1-3 months. Be persistent. There is a learning curve involved to learning a new skill. … Recognize and accept this.

• Invest in yourself and your future by learning the fundamentals of business.  Too often people skim over the basics telling themselves, “I already know that…” 

• Stay focused.  Avoid distractions.  Manage your time well.  Get and stay organized.

• Success involves failures.  Accept this and learn to fail fast and move on.

• Perseverance is a definite key to success … don’t give up when you encounter a challenge … figure out how to work around it … but most importantly stick with it!  Before you know it the system will seem almost effortless and second nature after you have worked with it.

• Avoid information overload!  Do not buy too much information.  Stick with our system initially … it contains 90% of the processes/steps  all other systems use.  Focus on the fundamentals first … get things up and running … you can always go back and improve upon AFTER the infrastructure is in place and operational.

• Focus on revenue generating activities.  Surfing the net is NOT one of them! J  It’s a serious distraction and the number one reason why so many people fail with their Internet Businesses.

• Set a monthly budget and stick to it.

• Keep a POSITIVE CASH FLOW at all times!

• Always consider if you will have time to use a product/service before making the purchase.
