Let me ask you a few simple questions:


Do you currently earn all the money you want in your
business…enough to live in the homes you want, drive the cars you
want, and invest for your family’s future?

Do you take regular time off…including time daily with your family
and vacations completely away from the office, cell phones, pagers,
and email?

Are you truly happy with and enjoying your life? Is your business
and personal life fulfilling to you financially, emotionally, and
spiritually?

If you’re like most people you’ll find you couldn’t answer
all those questions with a resounding, “Yes.” Most people start their
business with the hope and dream of working for themselves. They imagine
how fulfilling life will be when they’re no longer under the boss, and get to
run things their own way and enjoy the fruits of their own labor. Their
dream of business quickly becomes a nightmare as they find themselves
unable to cope with the marketing, customer service, personnel, and
product/service fulfillment.

The average business owner works long hours. They have no time to
relax. They find themselves constantly stressed out about money and other
responsibilities. They become burned out and lose all enthusiasm and joy
for their work. There is an old joke about being an entrepreneur. It says,
“Become an entrepreneur and you’ll only have to work half days. The other
12 hours a day you can do with as you want.”

It doesn’t have to be this way. You’ve been following old business
models that restrict you to a certain way of doing things. You’ve been
struggling to get past barriers without the tools and information you need to
be successful. In fact, several of the principles I’ve found to help you be
more profitable while working less hours are almost never discussed in any
business book, marketing course, or seminar program.

In my business, I work Monday through Thursday, normally about 8
hours per day. This means my average entrepreneur work week is 30 to 32
hours per week. I also take regular vacations completely away from the
business (including away from email, cell phones, etc.). Right now I don’t
even own an iPhone or any type of portable Internet access device. You’ve
got to be kidding! When I do travel to speak from time to time, you’ll see
business people speaking on the phone even while they’re in the restroom.
They need to get a life away from their business.

I’ve built a business and a lifestyle that suits me. I know other
entrepreneurs who work significantly less than this! They only work 3 hours
a day five days a week. Others prefer to work on marathon type sessions
(where they may put in 70 hours for the week) and then take the next week
off. It’s all about having systems to get the work done as quickly as
possible…and knowing how to use leverage to maximize your business
results.

When I talk about building a business online, I want you to think
about it from this viewpoint. It’s not just about the money. The money is
great. It’s about the lifestyle you create at the same time. Your goal may be
to earn $100,000…$1,000,000…or $10,000,000 a year in your business.
That is only one of your goals. At the same time I want you to write what
your lifestyle goals are.

- How much time do you want to work per week?
- What hours do you want to work?
- Where do you want to vacation?
- What will you do for fun?
- What will you spend your time at work doing?
- What will your company look like?
- What types of products and services will you offer?
- How many staff or outsourced workers will you have?

And most importantly, what is your step-by-step plan for reaching
those goals? See, I’m not someone who just tells you to put out your request
and wait for it to occur. Nope. Figuring out exactly what you want is only
the beginning. Next you come up with a step-by-step daily plan to reach
those goals. If you just “imagine” it, it’s called dreaming. The person who
accomplishes it is the person who takes daily action.

What Does Success Mean to You?

If you have a billion dollars, but are out-of-shape, lonely, and
miserable, you are not successful in my book. You’ve traded the
“completeness” of your life for something worth so much less. Ask the
billionaire who is dying of a disease if they’d give up their money for their
health. They would. So why would you trade your health or your family for
money which is worth so much less. You can have it all, but only if you
make a choice…and take the action to do so. Visit this link and sign up for the free tour.

People are making $10000 per month and some are making much more.

Take control and do it now.

All the Best,
