| When we think of an entrepreneur, we often think of people like Donald Trump, Bill Gates, and Steve Jobs. In reality, there are millions of people that have taken the leap to build multiple income streams who can consider themselves entrepreneurs. Understand that entrepreneurs think differently. They are people willing to do things that other people do not. Some people say it’s the Midas touch, when in reality it’s much more than that. Entrepreneurs have a different mindset. Without exception people with an entrepreneurial spirit become successful when they take their ideas and do what ever it takes to make them become a reality. Successful people think of the possibilities, not the problems. They make things happen. They don’t quit when things get tough and will make lemonade from the nastiest of lemons. People that are entrepreneurs seek out solutions, where other people see only roadblocks. Without exception every person who has decided to go down the entrepreneurial path has the ability to dream about possibilities that other people push aside as fantasy. Entrepreneurs are consistently described as people who are or strive to be:
Can you see yourself standing among this group? If so, you probably have some great ideas and want to know what you can do to move forward. You may want to know how to make sure that your ideas don’t sizzle and fade away. Possibly you don’t know what steps to take so that you can get your ideas off the ground. The most important things for you to do are to take action and never give up. Did you know that many people literally talk themselves out of incredible opportunities each day? Think about the last idea you had. What happened? My guess is that you had thoughts similar to “It’s a great idea, but I don’t have the money to start a business” or “So many people need this service, but I’m sure someone else has already done it”. Sound familiar? Don’t stress, you are not alone. So many ideas and potential entrepreneurs never get out of the gate, for the simple fact that they fail to act and are consumed with “buts”. When people fail to take that first action step it is critical. Without an initial forward moving activity, no idea has ever gotten off the ground. Understand that it doesn’t matter if those first action steps don’t pan out. If you do something the chances of success multiply exponentially. So what are some first steps that you may be willing and able to take so that you can begin your journey to the top? You can learn more about the industry/business that you are interested in by:
These are just a few ways to take action, there are many more. The choice is yours, and the resources are limitless. The second thing that keeps people from building their dreams is that they give up before payday. They may hit a bump in the road, and give up before they find a new path. They may let a “dream stealer” convince them to stop. Whatever the case, there isn’t a successful entrepreneur alive today that ever gave up, they just found another way. All that you need to do is take that first step and become an entrepreneur today; success is just around the corner.

4. FFA (Free For All) Sites: Do They Work (q)
In the "old" days of the Web (2-3 years back ), FFAs were effective in generating traffic to many sites. FFAs are in effect lists of brief classified-type ads with a link to the submitting site. Submit a first class ad (most are not), and at least some hits would be generated. In general, a new submission goes to the top of the list or category, as the oldest listing is deleted. This plan was effective, for finding things on the Web was not as easy then as it is now. So many surfers had one or two FFAs bookmarked. W...
5. How to plan the way to success with your online business
Building a new business or growing one that exists takes lots and lots of hours and lots and lots of hard work. Many of the wannabe and newbie webmasters I have met do not seem to understand this. Until they do, there isn't even a chance of success. Back in the late seventies and early eighties, I got my first close look at small business in action. I was consulting and developing software for mini-computers, which led me into the business world I had previously viewed only from the outside. I had always admired those w...
6. Online business ~ Who do you want to sell to (q)
Those with an eye toward building a successful business in cyberspace often waste a good deal of time searching for the ideal product. One that will sell almost without effort. And generate great profits into the foreseeable future. The problem is, no such product exists. The Wrong Question One who asks, "What is the best product to sell?" has missed the whole side of the barn. Even if rephrased to, "best kind of product," it still is not sufficiently definitive. Among reasonable starting points, he...
7. Does your site tell the truth
Good copywriters are among the best paid people in the work force. Most webmasters are not in this group. Yet we need to sell. Should we emulate good copywriters? That is, should we do what they do to the best of our ability? While we must follow proven advertising and copywriting principles, most of us would be better served taking a different route. I've been writing ever since I can remember. All sorts of stuff. And I've had success with most everything I've written. One standout exception: Copywriting. I have never writte...
8. How do I sell products produced by others (q)
The short answer is indirectly, and with a very light touch. We have all hit sites that seem like nothing but a catalog of stuff being sold. Flashy, blinking banners. Bellowing sound, if you allow it. I don't know how they can sell anything. I run quickly without even a thought of looking back. When you are selling products produced by others, let the producer do the selling. (If they can't get it done, you have the wrong producer and product.) All you should do on your site is to recommend the product. And do so indirectly, ...
