Qick update from the past two weeks
Well, a lot has happened to me in the past few weeks – good things, bad things, but i guess this is how life goes.
Right now i am at my university, that’s right student again, and am enjoying my morning coffee. This time last year i guess i was sitting at my ex-company’s office, getting bored and dull while doing some really boring work. But earlier this year when i quited this company i finally had the time for myself and my own work and business plans, so i partnered with two other professionals and now we run a company of our own. Things are going really well for us and since i am now having a lot free time i decided to go to university again : ) and have a taste of student life again. I really love learning and meeting new people, so i am very happy now. Right now i would have been even happier if my dog had not passed away last week, but alas…
I am an internet entrepreneur and i am not definitely not in the Bahamas, nor i drive a Ferrari!
I am writing you this, because the truth about internet business is that it wont fly you to the Bahamas and wont buy you a Ferrari quickly. The clickbank and similar products tell you the opposite, but it wont happen. Be aware of that. Getting such ideas from sales text only inspires you to buy and eventually discourages you once you come to realise that what the sales copy promised is not going to happen to you.
The truth is that you need to work hard, get things going, then work even harder to keep them going, and even harder to scale them. Be persistent!
Here is something useful you can think about – if you want to get into internet marketing, no matter in what niche, make your competitors irrelevant! Do not compete! How do you do that? What do you offer? It is up to you, but make it something different and useful to people for a change!
Any ideas? : )
