Do you have what it takes to be an e-entrepreneur?

These days, it seems like everyone wants to work
from home and make money on the Internet. But
before you even turn on your computer, the first
question you have to ask yourself is whether
you’re cut out for this kind of work.

The fact is, building a home-based business isn’t
for everyone. Some people like the commute. They
really do enjoy having a boss who tells them what
to do, and they like the routine of working
nine-to-five for an ordinary salary that can
barely pay the mortgage. Personally, I think
they’re nuts.

More reasonably, there are people who are
concerned about the risk of starting up their own
business. They’re not sure it’s worth the
investment of time and money, and they’re scared
of the responsibility that comes with running
their own company. They wonder if there is
another way to escape the rat race.

I’m sure there is. You could win the lottery or
wait for your Aunt Sue to keel over and leave you
her condo. Or maybe you could sit down with a pen
and paper and draw the blueprint for "The Next
Big Thing". Anything can happen... Right?

For me, what happened was creating a successful,
self-running Internet marketing system. It didn’t
happen without effort. It didn’t happen without
at least some initial investment of both time and
money and, of course, it doesn’t happen now
without me making sure that the taxes are filed
and the paperwork is done. But it happened.

I’m my own boss. I work from home according to my
own schedule and I get to pocket all the cash my
business makes. If you’re prepared to give an
e-business the time, the work and the money it
needs to get started and get growing, it can
happen for you too.

The Value of KnowledgeBy Betty Ann Wilkins © 2000

For centuries it has been said that knowledge is power. Is this really true? I do not believe so.Let me start by saying that knowledge is a necessity andcan be extremely valuable, but it is not power. Having knowledge merely gives you the power to make good decisionsand thereby act on those decisions. Ah, the real power is in ACTION. Let me give you an example. If you are sitting on somerailroad tracks and a train is coming your way, it is notenough to know that you should move off the tracks. Youhave to get off the tracks. You must take action. You see, without action, knowledge is worthless.It doesn't matter what knowledge you acquire or how muchof it you gain on a particular subject, it is useless until you take action. Think about it! Will reading and learning everything there is to know about being a glamorous movie star make you one? Of course not. I am not saying that you should not learn new things. It is imperative to have knowledge in order to be able to take action. Nowadays, you need a college degree just to get an entry level job but it in no way gets you any type of promotion or better paying job. Through experience, showing that you can take what you have learned and put it into practice is what gets you a promotion or raise. Many highly educated people are working in menial jobs, while we have millionaires that don't even have a high school diploma. How can this be? Very simply, even though they did not excel in academics, they did excel at taking action, trying new things, experimenting, learning through experience. How does all this apply to you? If you truly want to succeed, you must first acquire a bit of knowledge, but most importantly you must take what you know and act on it. Eagerly and ambitiously act on what you have learned and you will succeed.
