Heres a lesson I've learnt of late that I would like to share with you...

The other day I was on the phone to my friend and he asked me about my plans for the rest of the year and I decided to share with him my journey so far in the world of internet marketing regarding the progress I had made, what I've learnt and what I want to achieve, you know  all that good stuff... After my enthuisiastic outburst he asked me if I had made any money yet... i replied "nope not yet" .... Then he said pretty frankly "David, its a waste of your time, you've been doing this for like a month or so and no money, bruv I doubt all that kinda stuff will work"..

 You see this week has been one of those weeks for me where all that people say and do seems to be negative and working against me slightly..

This monday my mom was questioning me about my future plans and I told her I wanted to start my own business some how and she was not too happy  and advised me to stay in uni (not that I was ever planning to drop out) and also forget about going into business with this economy, to play the safe route..

Now I know and have known for a while now that I wanted to start an online business and a successful one at that, more importantly to be self employed and have a freedom in my life that most people don't  have,  as well making sure my family are ok financially on all aspects. 

What I've learnt is others and particularly the people closest to you  won't always understand and back you whole heartedly  when you've taken the decision to start an online business from scratch.

Maybe to them the internet is a strange land and holds no place or good fortune for someone like myself... Or in their eyes I'm just a dreamer and surely it would be a matter of time, before reality would knock me to my knees and makes me see sense and they were telling me in advance to stop me from ever receiving that blow..

Whatever their reason I've decided I'm going to make this work.. Yes at times its not easy but I'm ready for this challenge and hopefully one day look back and say "I'm glad I did that"
