Gas Prices & Your Business

Hey readers,

I was going to go off on the price of gas, but what is it going to solve? I don’t have any pressure on the oil company, except to drive less. Or create a business where I don’t need to commute 30+ miles to earn a living.

So I’m going to change gears – let’s focus on a positive thing – creating a business that you can manage from your home.  If you work from home you don’t need to spend hundreds of dollars every month on gas – Take that Oil Barron!

How much money do you need each and every month.  How would a few thousand dollars a month to change your life?

I love Internet & Information marketing because it’s so powerful. Anyone who knows me personally will tell you I’m an information junkie.  The Internet has proven to be the best thing in my life. I have to say working in the Internet world is wonderful. You can set your own hours, and really manage your own lifestyle.

But… You do have to work!

One of the biggest problems I’ve seen happen time and time again.  People assume the Internet is a set and forget type of business.  That’s 100% wrong.  To be successful you need to work at your business every single day.  Especially in the beginning of a business.  It takes time and effort whether that’s writing a blog post, promoting your name on a social network, or taking a course about  Internet promotion.  That’s the job description of Internet marketing, love working on the net, it doesn’t happen 9-5, Monday through Friday, 50 weeks a year.

Stop waiting for the perfect solution, and pick something you can excel at. I have several mentors in the internet universe. The common theme they say is “follow your passion.” Become the voice of the crowd who loves dogs, support green energy, is an expert in baking, or any other niche markets.  Believe me there are millions of niches in the world.  Follow your passion and you will love what you do for a living.

There are basic marketing rules you need to follow.  Such as knowing your customer, writing compelling copy, having a system to follow-up with prospects.

My current projects are helping two people follow their passion on the web – classic cars, and bridal floral arrangements.

Another thing that I believe in is the “Law of Attraction” – Ask, Believe, (ACT), Receive.  Did you notice that ACT is bold and in red?  That’s because it’s the key component to moving the universe.  You have to act to get results.

So today – decide what your passion is.  What would you do for a living (even if you didn’t get paid)?  Write down a list, but I guess you already know what you’re passion is.  You think about it, you read information about it, and have friends who enjoy the same thing.

I’m working on a passion project of my own – the Mom-Entrepreneur project.  This is something which I hope will help women know their value and translate it into net worth.

So off to writing some compelling copy.

Until we talk again…Live passionately and market well.
