I want to make a gazillion dollars online, starting tomorrow, working one hour a day…  Using open source software, just pushing one button, and outsourcing the push of that button to someone else…

Wouldn’t it be nice..
If it were that easy, we’d be in the opposite economic situation we find ourselves in now, or maybe the same, who knows, I’m not an economist, and can’t even balance my own check book, BUT, if it were that easy, I’d guess that everyone would be millionaires, inflation would take off, and a roll of toilet paper would cost $21,000, even if you aren’t the government…
Researching, starting, and maintaining an online business is not anywhere near as easy as many make it out to be. It is however, totally possible, and it’s a lot easier than starting quite a few other types of businesses. It requires in most cases much less capital, time, and just about every other resource. As long as you have or can access a laptop or desktop, you are literate to some degree (unless of course you outsource, which is TOTALLY possible), and have some basic common sense, you have all of the required ingredients to get going. What is missing from this, and a main stumbling block to ultimate success are focus, perseverance, dedication, and knowing where you are going, as opposed to just blindly stumbling around in the dark, from one newsletter to the next, from one course to the next. Once you’ve read a course, or even subscribed to a news list and read the messages, and wathced the sales process you know how to to it, the only thing between you and success is actually doing it.  Dig in and start today…
