It’s been a funny few days and something quite unexpected has happened.  To try and unclutter my brain which was full from over researching some articles for a client I did my daily flip around the Warrior Forum to see if there was anything interesting.  It turns out there was.  There was a thread where someone offered to pay whoever could get him to the point he was earning $200/day a $2000 thank you.  I threw in my 10 cents and said if anyone could coach ME to that point I would throw them the full 2 weeks earnings($2800) and pretty much whatever else they asked for too.  Now, the thread is worth checking out just to read and get some ideas.  There’s a couple of posts in there that I feel really can get you on the way to earning the sort of income we all want.

What was really amazing for me was that a couple of people I really respect have stepped up and offered me some useful insights and solid direction on how to do this.  I won’t name them because I’m not sure if they want to be publicly named at this point.  But while both are developing quite different sides of my business, one thing is shining through crystal clear.  Success doesn’t happen accidentally, it happens when you follow through a process that has you at the start and success at the end.  We’re working on a really solid plan to take my business from where it is now, and get it to the point I have an income that can replace not only what I lost from my job recently, but also my wifes income when she leaves work in about six weeks time.

What is remarkable is that with the exception of one remarkably useful website, nothing I’ve been told is anything new to me, and I bet it wouldn’t be to most of you reading this either.  It’s just been presented in such a methodical and sensible way that makes so much sense.  So, while I’ll keep you posted on exactly how I progress, you don’t need to wait to hear from me.  Take a look at where your online business is today.  Write down an honest appraisal of it.  Now write down an honest statement of what you want your business to be like when you have ‘made it’.  How much of a gap is there between the two?  And what do you need to do to bring you from where you are to where you want to be?  All you need to do to succeed online is answer that simple question - then act on it and make it happen.

Hello All,

It’s been a busy week for me, and one marking a substantial change in direction.  I’ve completed two big assignments - one set of 50 articles and one e-book, so payday wise it’s been a very good week.  But a lot more than that has been happening.

To begin with Monday was scan day for my wife and we now know that September will bring with it two baby girls.  I have to admit we were both convinced we would be dealing with boys, and I had kind of mentally mapped all the dad and son activities.  Now I have to adjust my thinking to figure out what a dad is meant to do with girls.  I’m open to help on that by the way:)

Tuesday was also a big day because the phoneline finally got connected in my office, now I can get the internet set up there and free up a lot of space in the house by working from my nice swanky office in town.  It also brings an air of professionalism to the whole thing.

Over the next little while I will be concentrating hard on establishing regular customers by way of membership site packages.  I have ideas in my head on how to do this, so I’ll keep you all posted.  The first test will be a WSO in the warrior forums to see if I can get some interested parties on board.

An interesting thing happened today when a client used my payment page to pay for a job I completed, on returning to merchant he was redirected to a PLR site I put up some time ago.  It seems my payment buttons are not working as they should, so the first thing to do is to figure out why that is and what’s going wrong.

The next few months are going to be exciting ones for sure.  It will be a pleasure to have you along for the ride.
