My Online Business Adventure

After years of changing careers, sometimes employed, sometimes self-employed, sometimes not employed at all, I have arrived at a place in my late 40s where I can be sure of something I’ve never been certain of before: my future security. This is not the first time I have tried starting a business at home, but the difference this time is that I know it will work.

Why? Because when I was self employed before I had no-one to refer to but myself. No business or vocational training can prepare you for the difficulties of trying to make a success on your own. But I have found that setting up a home based business online using affiliate marketing has been completely different. If I have a question, there is somebody to ask. If I feel discouraged, there are people to support and encourage. When I have asuccess, there are people to congratulate me and spur me on to greater achievement.

Starting a business at home can be a lonely experience. It is difficult to maintain confidence on your own when sales figures do not go in the direction you were hoping. However, with an online business, I have found a wealth of training and support where I have had very little before - and all just at my fingertips.

Also, I know that although my initial earnings may be modest - they will grow. That is inevitable in this business as long as you keep working at it. Unlike other businesses that can fluctuate up and down, this business can only go up. It may feel painfully slow at times, but it’s always the right direction!

So how did I start?  I was introduced to Success University via a writing client.  I was unsure.  I had been involved in network marketing before, and I did not like cold-calling or talking to people face to face about the business.  But I really liked what Success University had to offer.   I joined under the 2 week free trial - but even though I loved the personal development side, I was still unsure I could make it work as a business.

Then I found PIPS (PlugInProfitSite).  Hallelujah!  No cold-calling, no annoying my friends - I could market everything on the internet, including Success University,  and reach a global audience.

I discovered it was hard work, and the progress slow - but I also discovered something else:  a whole community of people who are motivated and determined, and willing to help others to be the same.  I found training that is constantly available, free and easy accessible.  I’m hooked.

And I have some very strong goals and reasons for doing this:  I’m a writer, and despite some small successes I have yet to earn a living from writing.  I hope that I will one day become a bestselling novelist, but until that day, this business will support me and fund my writing so that THAT goal is far more possible than if I had been in a full-time job.

Starting a business at home is not for the faint-hearted, but it’s a da**ed sight better than working for someone else and compromising your dreams.
