The Power which promises to show readers how to attain everything they want, is scheduled to be released on August

I remember it like it was yesterday, it was a Monday morning, I was broke, just been laid off from work, rent was building up, my girlfriend left me and took everything even the dog. I was sitting on a cardboard box looking at the space where my TV used to be.

I had nothing left except for my outdated laptop and my dial up internet connection, so I fired up my laptop, connected to the internet and BANG! Tuesday morning arrives and I am a Zillionaire!!!

How many times have you heard that! If you have ever read a sales letter or done a search about how to make money on the internet no doubt you have read and heard similar stories where some kid barely out of college goes from nothing to hero over night – dubbed the “Overnight Success”.

These stories are great; they inspire people, and even allow people to think bigger thoughts and see possibilities that may have only been a fantasy before and not to mention these kinds of stories make a great marketing hook.

What 99% of these success stories fail to mention is all the hard work, practice and dark hours it took for these people to become that “Overnight Success”.

I don’t care who you admire or look up to but what I can tell you is that they didn’t get to where they are simply by striking it luck overnight.

There are months and years or blood, sweat and tears these people have to go though just to make their success look easy or like they have some kind of special talent that the average person cannot obtain.  The old saying “When there is a will there is a way” is the underlining motto of almost every success ever told.

As an internet marketer there are many times when it gets tough, I know for myself most of my friends simply don’t understand what I am doing and think it is some kind of scam. It can be tough when you spend all the money you have on a project only for it to fail and not make a dime and it is a dark time when your family tell you are wasting your time and to grow up!

At the end of the day this adversary is what drives many of these success stories to find a way that is what I love about this Michael Jordan commercial. Most look at him on the court and think wow, he truly is talented and gifted…if only we knew the truth.

A good friend of mine shared this with me, I liked it so much I thought I would share it with you. Sometimes it is good to be reminded of the small but powerful nuggets of wisdom to keep you track. To your happiness!

• Take a 10 – 30 minute walk every day and while you walk, smile.

• Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes everyday

• Sleep for 7 hours

• Live with the 3 E’s Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy

• Play more games

• Read more books than you did in 2009

• Drink plenty of water

• Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in a plant

• Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar

• Make time to practice meditation and prayer. They provide us with daily fuel for our busy lives

• Dream more while you are awake

• Smile and laugh more

• Try to make at least 3 people smile each day

• Don’t waste your precious energy on gossip

• Spend time with people over the age of 70 and under the age of 6

• Don’t take yourself so seriously, no one else does.

• Forget issues of the past. Don’t remind your partner with his/her mistakes of the past. This will ruin your present happiness.

• Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class, the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.

…you might not believe me unless you saw it yourself – Watch FREE Video

No matter where you look online, if you are surfing the internet for any length of time no doubt you have come across a site, a banner, or an ad screaming at you ‘How To Make A Fortune Online’ and for good reason, there is tones of money transacted online every hours of every day all over the world.

It is no secret that many people are making money online and even more are trying to…and this is the main point of this article

In a recent survey of 50000 people with a website/internet business:

• 75% consider themselves at an Advanced or Intermediate skill level

• 75% Have being doing this for more than 2 years

(This is where it gets scary)

• And from these people who consider themselves advanced marketers on the internet that have been doing this for more than 2 years earn on average less than a $1000 per month.

There is a tone of information out there about making money online and most of it is FREE and from the results of this survey it looks like people are eating this information up and educating themselves about marketing online and this is brilliant!

Is this a similar scenario for you?

Do you feel like you know what to do; you are doing your best at doing what you know but just aren’t getting the results that you are hearing others get?

Well I have some amazing news for you. There is a way you can put all this knowledge and skills that you have worked so hard to gain to work for you and finally pay off big time.

You see, just like your desire to learn internet marketing and make money online, well this desire is shared by every business in the world, especially your local small mom and pop business.

Business owners have a lot on their plate in 99% of cases they don’t have the time to study the latest strategies that are working online now.

BUT…and it is a BIG but…most of these businesses are willing to pay someone to do it for them.

There are thousands of businesses that want to follow up with their clients but don’t know that autoresponder even exist, let alone know how to use one. (I know simply stuff for you and I), almost all of them want to rank in Google for local search terms (which are much easier to rank for than a global term), and they all want to get a handle on their internet marketing but have no idea where to start.

You have knowledge that they are willing to pay for, and they will pay YOU big bucks if you know how to position yourself correctly. Check out this video.
