Up until this point, we’ve essentially been covering the requirements and prerequisite knowledge necessary to increase your chances of building a successful online business.
Today marks a turning point.
It’s time to begin focusing on your personal situation, and to turn our attention to your future business…
(Watch this video…)
Main points:
Without vision, your business probably won’t succeed.
I describe vision as being able to “see” a clear picture of your fulfilled goals in your mind.
It’s like the box cover of a difficult puzzle…
You must begin with the end in mind.
Almost every success in my life has come AFTER having a vision for it. (For example, when I won the state championship, and every time I launch a product)
The successful business owners that I’ve known ALL have vision.
It’s kind of like looking at the world from 30,000 feet. You see the big picture, and not the problems.
If you lose sight of your vision, you lose hope. And if you lose hope, it’s game over.
As we progress in the lessons, we’ll keep moving forward step by step, but if you don’t start by getting a vision, further efforts could be somewhat futile.
If you set your target too low, you may hit it, but there is almost no chance that you will exceed it. On the other hand, if you set your target too high, you may fail, but you will be further along than the “low” target. Therefore it’s better to set your vision higher.
One of the biggest things I see holding people back is a “victim mentality”.
“Formulate and stamp indelibly on your mind a mental picture of yourself as succeeding. Hold this picture tenaciously. Never permit it to fade. Your mind will seek to develop this picture. Never think of yourself as failing; never doubt the reality of the mental image. That is most dangerous, for the mind always tries to complete what it pictures. So always picture ‘success’ no matter how badly things seem to be going at the moment.” – Norman Vincent Peale
Many of us have taken on a “just get by” mentality.
The size of your vision will dictate the size of the result.
YOU are valuable. Don’t sell yourself short.
Here’s my “disclaimer” that I forgot to include in the video…. “The mind of man plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.” (Prov. 16:9)
Action steps:
I want you to take a moment to tell me your vision for your business. The vision can involve other areas of your life too, but since we’re working on building your business, it should be focused on your business.
It’s important to write your vision down, so go ahead and post it in the comments below. This is YOUR vision, and there is NO wrong answer.
Focus on the big picture. Don’t worry about the details of how you will get there. We’ll worry about that stuff when we learn about goal setting and business plans, and I’ll be talking about those things in the next lesson.
As always, you are welcome to post your questions and comments below.
Have a great day!
Hi Eric,
I dream of being able to retire my wife from her job,as (I am already retired) and to become debt free. I dream of owning a home on the lake (as I love to fish) and spend my days gazing across the beautiful water. I also dream of getting our patented product on the market someday as we have spent a lot of time and money getting a design patent, as well as a utility patent. My wife is a nurse and had this wonderful idea for a new bandage, well she told me about it and we ran with it, but also ran out of money too. I dream of having something to leave my two wonderful kids so they can have something to start their dreams with.
Hey Eric, My vision is to be employed by myself through affilate marketing. I’ve tried a couple different times with clickbank ebooks, advertising on myspace, but no luck. I am running an add on Google right now, still waiting to see how that turns out. My vision is to be able to set up my ads each day and spend the amount on advertising and then get it back plus enough for my income. If you have any recommendations for that directly, I’d love to hear it. Thank you for the videos and have an awesome day!
My vision is to start an online marketing business and generate an average of over a million dollars in revenue per year. I want to be able to live my life and be happy without having to worry about money and where I will be getting my next meal. I want to retire my parents and be able to have a home in Florida as well as Chicago (close to the family) …. I want to travel and see the world and have the opportunity to experience and enjoy life. I want to be able to introduce my family to a new way of thinking and to take away the pressures of the world. I want to be able to spend my time helping other people and donating money to organizations that are profitable for people with less opportunity then myself. I want to have the freedom to wake up and decide I won’t work that day or that I will spend my time in Australia or Europe! My mom has never been out of the country and she is 52! I want to take her to other countries so she can experience a fulfilled life! I want to send my brother to college and to help my sister get her business off the ground! I want to build churches and do great things for God!
1 Corinthians 11:1
Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.
My vision is to have a successful internet business that will afford me the time and money to spend with my family and especially the grand kids and to be able to spoil them so rotten not even their parents will be able to stand them. I want to take my wife on vacations where we are not pressured to get back home so she can go back to work. Being disabled makes me that much more determined to reach these goals to show others that it can be done.
Hi Eric, here is My Visioins:
1. I will earn at least $10000 a month by and work at most 10 hours a week for my online businesses. So I could have enough time and money to live a comfortable life, travel to wherever I want whenever I want, and keep learning whatever I want or enjoy my hobbies such as novel writing, practicing martial arts or psychics. And I can do all this without someone telling me what I should or should not do, or be more practical this or that way.
2. My online businesses will be about something of my interests or concern, such as psychics, psychology, education, spirituality, environment protection or martial arts etc.
3. My online business will be able to operate when I focus on something else, at least for a period of time, and can be monitored and controlled by me wherever I am.
4. My online business will be a safe base for me to venture into offline business, in the way of providing capitals and making sure that I will still have satisfying income when my offline business failed etc.
5. I will learn how to influence people and promote my idea online in the process of learning internet marketing, and learn how to do the same thing in offline world by doing offline business.
6. I will use what I’ve learned to promote something I considered of great social values such as creating a new educational system, if possible, construct a system that could work on it’s own to promote that valuable thing. After that is done, seek another social valuable thing to promote.
My vision is to have a successful online business, that is netting at least one million(1,000,000)$ per year. This business will center around my passion of helping people attain peace of mind, and body. This business will allow me to pay off all my creditors faithfully, get the surgery I want. I will be able to travel at will, and be able to give to charity, without feeling resentment.
Hey Eric,
Just started reading your tips, and I want to say thank you for re-focusing me back in the right direction. My dream(vision) has always been to succeed in my own business, leaving that 9-5 job, and doing the things for my family that would help them the most, whether it be money, houses, cars, whatever. I have been one of those people who has continued to try the next get-rich-quick scheme out there without really having a sense of what I was doing and in my mind “ripped off” time and time again. Well, this time is different, thanks to you! Finally, I think by watching your lessons, I can see that vision of being able to help my family, become debt-free, travel when and where I want to, and using multiple streams of income to continue that vision for as long as I want to. I think the desire has always been there, but I have always let the present get in my way!
Thanks, keep up the good work, and much success to all of us out there realizing a dream!
Stan
My vision is starting to get clearer. at first I want to learn to be the best internet marketer around the plant. Thats my overall goal.My first goal is to research and learn all the tips. from the best markters avaliable.witch comes to your most prized tip out there. dont buy any thing until you know what your getting into. thanks your info its great.im learning something every day.
As a clay artist, I would like to have an online business that deals with art; however, I cannot conceive of something in the arts that people will buy online. For me, art is my area of expertise.
As far as income is concerned, I would be satisfied making $50,000 a year with an online business that revolves around art. If I were making that kind of money online, I could spend ten hours a day in my studio making clay objects that would sell.
My vision is to create a number of successful online businesses close to my heart. They will bring a wealth of wisdom, help and support to people and fill them with hope. They will bring me a sense of fulfillment and purpose and give back to the universe what it brings me in finances and reward.
Hi Eric, I’ve been with you through your entire lessons so far, and have loved everyone of them.
My vision is to become a successfull Marketeer – with a goal of a million a year. To start I’d like to get all of bills paid and buy this house and property where I live now, even though I can’t afford a riding lawn mowerfor my 21/2 acreas (I cut grass with a push mower now) that will be one of the first things I do with my money. I do voluntary work for the Salvation Army now, and I can’t see ever giving that up I love the people there and contact with all the customers, not even when all my dreams of wealth, health and many new friends comes true.
I’m going to make it, at least for the rest of my life (I’m 72 now).
Phyllisc300@insightbb.com
Hi Eric, my vision is to build a successful Internet Marketing Business from my home, which will give me more time to be with my family, allowing me to finally be debt free, buy anything that my wife and my two kids want. I visualize myself living in a mansion in the Cameron Highlands and travelling the world to all the places I’ve always longed to see.
I visualize myself helping others build their own financial freedom thru Internet Marketing and starting other charitable organizations to help poor students achieve their educational goals, and bring joy to other under privileged children.
Eric,
Thank you in advance for these lessons. I have already learned some things. Right now my vision is to get away from my deadend 9 to 5 job that I hate. My overall big vision is to be financially free from any debt now and in the future. I would like to earn enough money to one give back to the people in my life that have helped me be who I am today and two be able to support my wife and children in whatever aspect that is. I would like to grow a business online that lets me be able to see all of my kids activities and let my wife and I do many of the things that we dream of daily. Do I have goals of making 1 million dollars and working when I want to, sure who doesn’t but most of all I want to be able support all of my family and everybody be happy for it in the end. Thank You, Brent
Hey Eric,
I also wanted to add to the many thanks for helping me along my way.
My business vision;
I want to work solely from home in 2 years time, I want to earn more than enough money to enjoy the rest of my long life, more than enough to sort the whole family out and many friends who are in need.
I want to incorporate my love for art and anything slightly left-wing especially new ways of thinking, meditating and being more positive. I would say at the moment my true passion is anything to do with ‘The Secret’ and the universe and although I am not yet a master at it, I would love to be able to help people empower themselves as it has empowered me, if only to introduce them to the concepts.
I am so happy to be taught by someone who knows and clearly practises these life altering lessons.
Thanks again Eric, you really are here for an amazing reason!!..
Faye
Oh Eric,
My visions are so many I don`t even know where to start! I am going to build a beautiful house with my boyfriend (hopefully my husband soon) That will have plenty of rooms for our kids to bring their familys. I will make so much money so that he can quit his job and fix his dream car back to how it was or better. Buy him a helicopter, new motorcycle. And I`ll give him money to day trade because thats what he likes to do. I will still make my kids buy their first cars, but I will buy their second. They sure know how to be broke. But they need to know what it`s like to work too. If their smart they will buy a cheap one first:) I can`t wait to take them to a high class car dealership and let them pick out which ever one they want and pay cash on the spot for them!!! I am going to take them all over the world so they can see how other people live and how beautiful the world actually is. Im going to go visit my Mom and hand her a million dollars. I can`t wait to see the smile on her face:) I will also buy whatever I want for Christmas presents. I want to stay myself but it will sure be nice to be able to do what ever I want!! I`m so excited I can`t wait!!!! I always knew I would have money and now its going to happen!!! Thank you so much Eric!! I WILL make you proud!!

Hi Eric,
My vision is to develop an online internet business centered around health & fitness and providing information to others who are seeking the financial security this type of business can provide. I will be totally debt free and will be able to provide the same to my grown children and their children. My husband & I will travel the USA seeing places I’ve only read about! My business will produce at least $2 million dollars a year. I will be able to increase my giving back to the community significantly…blessing others as God has blessed me!
Hi Eric,
Thanks for your lessons. If following your instructions will make it possible for me to set up a successful internet business it will be a miracle!
I’ve always been very frugal and always lived within my income. I’m retired and entering my eighth decade of life. I’m comfortable and really don’t need anything. However, my daughter has a vision which I share to set up a philanthropic Foundation to help people in need.
To accomplish this it is my vision set up a successful internet business with many websites that will generate many income streams that will eventually require minimum monitoring and tweaking to generate many hundreds of thousands of dollars to support our Foundation. I still don’t know how to set up many websites and and what I’m going to sell. Following your lessons, I’m confident we’ll be able to make it work. Thank you.

Hi Eric,
My vision is to help others with my online business. I want to be able to take and help others take mission trips to tell others about Jesus. I want to be able to freely give to my church, charities, and organizations that help with the abuse of animals. I want to not have to worry anymore about money.
Thank you Eric for helping me look towards the future and helping me get my online business going. I have tried a number of different businesses and have failed but now I feel like I have a much better chance of succeeding because of your help. Thanks again and God bless!!! Love and prayer in Christ Jesus,

Hi Eric
Iam a 57 year old single female, I have worked for someone else my entire life, and now I find myself unemployed. My vision is to start your on line business program and to succeed at it.I don’t want to work for anyone else but myself again. I am new at this but I do have a vision of being a successful on line business owner, with you and the lord on my side I can’t loose
thank you eric for this program
Hey Eric,
I have just started your lessons after having received them for the past month. Due to health issues it has taken me longer than I expected to get started, however, I have jumped into your lessons with both feet and have listened and watched the first 13 within the past 12 hours. There is a lot of information to absorb, and I am so glad you are providing them to us. I too have started learning all of this later in life, but am very interested and anxious to have my own online business. This has been a dream of mine for the past 11 years. Yes, I to have purchased way too many “golden opportunities”, only to have been frustrated and disappointed in what I had purchased.
I am very glad you are doing what you are to help so many people get started in the right way, and for free. It is absolutely awesome!!!!
My vision is to be able to live a comfortable life with my wife, provide her with the future she wants and deserves, and to be able to make at least $250,000 per year to achieve this goal. I am diabetic and am waiting for a kidney transplant, so anything I could do to help people that are in the same boat, or that are wanting to better their lives, would be a starting point. There are other genres that interest me, but we all have to start somewhere and climb the stairway to success one step at a time. I will be doing this with yous and anyone elses help I can obtain.
I know I can do this because of my 11 year desire and dreams of succeeding. I am very tired of working for corporate America and only being an employee. It is time to be a successful business owner and live the life that goes along with it.
Sorry to ramble on so, I am just so excited to have the chance to learn from someone that is totally dedicated to actually helping with a step by step method of making all of us a success.
Thank you for what you are doing, and I look forward to all of the future lessons. Being a mere 50 miles from you in Brighton, Co. is awesome also.
Thanks again,
Jack
My vison is to own a successful online business using the blueprint you have established. Working your blueprint will first allow me to become established as a working from home online business owner, which will afford me the time and resouces to development my own product,
Goal
1.)To get the business fully operable and generating income
2.)Not to return to work outside the home. having the business support my current life style.
3.) develop my own infor product,
4.) become a millionair
I plan to accomblish this by
a) working the business full time
b) working three parts of the quadrant, the employee,owner&invester.
c) After two years only work only two the owner & invester.
d) place this indeavor in the hands of the Lord,you (Eric) then me.
Eric,
First, I would like to thank you for the “laymans” lessons on starting a business – after listening to and reading others, you are so clear cut and to the point. . . it has taken away my frustration will I ever achieve my vision . . .
I believe now that I will live debt free, I will travel and redecorate my house. I will put in a new patio complete with an outdoor kitchen! I will help my children with their college loans since up to this point I could not! Along with all of that I will retire happy! I can’t thank you enough, Eric, you have breathed life back into me!
My Vision: I am getting payments from various sources which gives me income on regular intervals – weekly, monthly, quarterly and annually – of well into the mid 6-digit range.
M y vision is to actually get a lesson that describes exactly what I have to do to make money. So far all I have is encouragement to think positive, set goals, have vision and the Lord, but nothing concrete as to what to do to make money.
My vision is to have a successful online business(es) where I can be a WAHM. I will only work 20 hours a week and have enough time to attend to my young children of 4 and 6 and help my husband to develop his passion. I want to make an annual income of 6 figures which more than replace my corporate income where I had worked crazy hours, juggle like crazy between work and family and have little satisfaction. I will also be able to take vacations and visit my parents and sisters every year. I will like to share my knowledge and help other people while making good money and also be passionate about what I do. I hope this day will come soon with all the hard work.
My goal is to consistantly generate $10000/mo within the next 4 years through affiliate programs with lifetime commission programs; to write, publish, and sell cookbooks, food-articles, blogging services, and signature kitchen accessories on my websites. I envision investing in a portfolio to generate funds for children in need. I see myself attending culinary classes and workshops around the world and being a spokesperson for raising the quality of education in American schools.
Questions: Can you recommend a good book on copyrighting? I have been researching professional copyrighting for additional business. International Living is selling a 12 month course for $400 with “$10000 contract with your first promotional letter” Is this hype or what? Also where do I find your responses and how do I sign up for your newsletters?
I have many visions for my whole life.
but I will focus on my own business:
I will make an online business that will combine many streams of income. the goal is for 20.
I will create my own eBook’s about personal development & hook it up to a mail list that will get a lot of worldly mentors (whom I love to listen to).
I will use my website to give quality info & products about network marketing & internet marketing.
I will keep my eBay business that sells quality products with Drop shippers, & create niche websites in Music, Stock markets, real estate, live music tours, & worldwide traveling.
things which I enjoy personally. Each website will have affiliate programs & ads.
This business will revenue at a 100,000$ a year at starters and by 5 years will revenue 1,000,000$ dollars a year.
& will assist me to buy property & land so I can generate passive income that will allow
me to pursue my dream to become a top musician & producer.
I donate each month 10% of my earnings for different charities in my country & other countries as well.
My vision:
I see a successful affiliated online business that generates sufficient revenue that would allow my wife to retire from the work she is currently attached, if she so desires. It includes working from home any hour I choose, and for as long as I want. I see the vision as something I really enjoy, stimulating mentally, and something I always want to pursue.
Are you talking about this course:
http://www.thewriterslife.com/awi/heeh/
It’s a good one, but they aren’t guaranteeing $10k. So yeah the one you’re looking at is probably hyped…
But it IS possible to charge that much. I do 😉

Also Yanik Silver is a good copywriting teacher:
http://www.writingcash.com/links/copywriting.html
Before I state my goals I want to thank you for putting Eric’s Tips together and giving them for free. I don’t mind paying money for valuable information (and this IS VALUABLE), but I can now put that money into actually implementing some of the strategies I will learn from you.
I have a number of goals I want to accomplish in the next few years. My main goal is to get off disability this year (which means staying out of the hospital). The next is to be a successful internet marketer with an annual income of +1,000,000.00 within the next 3 years. The 1st year I will start my business, become debt free, get married and start saving towards a home. The second year continue to grow my business, purchase a home, travel & visit family more often. The third year continue to grow my business (this will be something I plan to do every year until I decide it is time to retire), purchase a home for my parents, set my Dad up with his own small business (something he enjoys, won’t cause stress and keeps him busy; he’s that type of person), begin adoption process to start a family. After I have accomplished these goals I will continue with internet marketing and possibly start an energy conservation business with some other members of my family including my future husband (he works in construction and enjoys it and I had been an energy conservation engineer prior to my illness).I can probably even merge the two. I feel these goals will give me the opportunity to have the family life I long for, the financial security I crave as well as a sense of pride and self worth knowing what I accomplished for me and my family. It would also give me the opportunity to give back and help my community especially those who like me are faced with severe health issues that can totally disrupt their lives, possibly forever.
Thanks Eric,
http://www.thewriterslife.com/awi/heeh is a copy of the sales letter I received from International Living. Incredible!! It is a very long sales letter with photos of people making testimonials about how they got rich copywriting but that’s about all besides the copy. Yanik Silver is selling his copywriting system also. Both of these urls are examples of copywriting. I also looked at your copywriting services/fees. That’s amazing. There’s got to be tremendous competition for these projects. Okay, I’m doing more research into this subject.
Thanks Eric for all wise words so far. Seems all postings are from last year, but here comes my Vision:
I am 59 yrs and have been working with alternative medicine and biodynamic research since 1980 I have no money or economical security to show for all these years.
What I do have is a rich spiritual and I have been working with what I love so rich in soul but poor in vallet.
To have a sustainable income. To be able to do what I want.
I want to be able to share my coming wealth with some awesome friends so they can fulfill their dream and just boost them as you boost me.
I love to travel and I am engaged in helping tibetan refugees in Dharamsala India.
Today I do not have enough to share and be a free human being with control of my life and money.
So I think this is my time and opportunity on earth.
Thanks again Eric, for your top notch lessons
Helen in Sweden
Hi again Eric
correction:
postings are NOT as I said from last year .. I missed to scroll down .
Helen
My vision is to make enough money to be very comfortable. I want to be able to do whatever I want, such as, travel, buy a car, etc. I also want the feeling of succeeding in whatever I do. I have quite a ways to go, but I feel confident I will succeed in reaching my goals.
Dear Carol,
You have a vision. I read about your vision in Lesson 13 of Eric’s Tips. You want to develop a small community on your land.
On your land are small one bedroom/bath cabins that would be occupied by the women in their senior years. They contribute.
Their contribution enables you to support your son who is a drummer. He doesn’t have to make real money for about three years.
I’m not sure. Is your vision going to bring enough money? But then. That is no reason to forget about your vision.
I read that you are a retired teacher. That made me think. I have an idea. I want to tell you about my idea. You could do something with it.
We could work together. What I have got is a business idea. I’m thinking of writing an e-book and selling it over the Internet.
You could join me. I think my idea can bring a lot of money. We share the money. You could use the money to realize your vision.
Before I tell you my idea. I want you to know. I never was a teacher. But that is what I found out later. I should have been one.
This is about education. Education is very bad. The way kids are educated is still the same as two hundred years ago.
Schools are not interested in their kids. How long do kids stay in a school? Four years? Five years? Six years? And then they are supposed to move on.
You were a teacher. How long have you been a teacher? How many kids have you had? Do you still know their names?
Do you know what your kids are doing? Do you know whether your kids are successful in life? Do they have a happy life?
Let me give you the facts. And the schools are to blame. School could have educated their kids and avoid what is happening now.
One. 63% of the people that are working hate their job, they hate their colleagues, they hate their pay, and they hate their boss.
These 63% of the people that are working are frustrated. Not only at their work. Also at home. They hate their wife and their kids.
Their marriage often ends in a divorce. And their life is miserable. All because of the schools. The schools didn’t tell them.
Two. 95% of the people that retire are broke. They have nothing. They have no money. They depend on the people around them.
They depend on their kids or on their family. Their kids or their family must give them money. Or give them shelter.
The same as before. The schools are to blame. The schools didn’t tell their kids about life. The schools didn’t care.
I want to do something about these two problems. I think I know what can be done. I want to write about it in my e-book.
Not only do I want to write an e-book about this subject. I’m also thinking of helping parents and showing them how to support their children.
What do you think? Now you want to help women in their senior years. Why do you think their position is so bad? Right. The schools.
I think it is good to help those women in their senior years. But I’m afraid you need more money. I could help you to get it.
If interested let me know. You could send Eric an e-mail. I’m sure he will let me know.

Hi Eric and All,
Putting first things first. Like every post ahead of mine, I want to give my sincere thanks to Eric for giving me a chance to leave a footprint in my internet marketing journey. Hopefully one day I will come back to this post and show the world that Eric really made a big difference in my life.
I have been thinking for two days about my visions before I made this posting. I want this to be a stepping stone in my self fulfilling prophecy. I have a vision that I’ll be able to quit my current day job, become a super affiliate, and making over $20,000 per month by June of 2010. I would be able to work less than 20 hours per work in my own internet marketing business, going to the gym everyday, spending lots of time with family, traveling and taking vacations. In 2011, I will be able to attend all of peak potentials courses, attending different marketing conferences and creating ventures with others to expand my business. By end of 2012, I will be making $1 million per year, making significant contributions to charity and to the needy as well as helping close relatives. I will move into a more comfortable house, send my four year old daughter to a private school and attending to her school events with her mom. From 2013 and onwards, I will spend more time helping others and become a trainer in what I do. I will travel around the country, tell my story, and make a difference in other people’s lives.
Thanks for reading.
Milton
P.S.
Do you need help finding someone online? You can find their contact information at http://www.people-search-fast.ws
My vision begins with putting God first in everything that I do. So, by the grace of God, I am…..
Developing several streams of passive income online. I see myself, within a few years, earning upwards of $5,000,000.00 each year.
One vehicle is informational medical websites with responsible monetization. Another vehicle is medical ebooks. I can see at least 100 successful ebooks. Additionally, I see teaching and training via video/tutorials.
To remain responsible to the medical profession and to the value of human contact. I envision myself continuing to see patients two days every week.
Additionally I see myself as a successful daytrader, earning $1,000,000 per year (and more each year) using strict strategies and education. Already well in progress.
My money is a vehicle to bless the Lord, the church and to bless family, friends, and whomever else God places in my life.
Additionally, I have an ability to pay for my children’s college education including room and board.
I have adequate cash to pay tithe, taxes and money to spend for travel and other fun, .. and buy the house of my dreams in the region I call home–in the South Bay Area, near SF.
I also intend to travel, entertain, go on medical mission trips, join in the fight against poverty around the world, help in our church visions, encourage others, donate anonymously wherever needed.
To these ends, I will never give up. I believe in the power of God and vision. I seek the answers I need to succeed. In fact, I believe God will give me every answer I need when I need it. I believe He will open every door at just the right time. I believe that my life has value. I believe that I have a predestined journey and I intend to use my gifts and to fulfill my purpose in life. I will share my knowledge so that others can also succeed and leave a legacy for future generations.
Someone has to do it. It might as well be me!!!

I am a Professional Architect. My Vision is to promote the use of Clean, Individually Generated, Solar, Wind and other Alternate forms of Power, to the point that all built structures must have energy generation capabilities. I can Picture in my mind the day when All Buildings will be part of the Solution to our Energy Needs, instead of the huge Energy Losers they are now. ANY ROOF WITHOUT ENERGY GENERATION CAPABILITIES IS A WASTE OF PRIME ENERGY GENERATION SPACE. I Envision Multiple Web sites including Informational sites on this issue, Sites which offer all types of energy generation products both small and large, Sites which relate to new buidling integrated approaches to Architectural Design and a Link Through site to Environmentally Friendly Design / Build Construction Services Companys. Forums for Experts in the new emerging technologies making suggestions for Modifications to laws and rules to incentivise and even require “CLEAN SUSTAINABLE ENERGY GENERATION CAPABILITIES” for all buildings.
Thanks for the Valuable insights.
I am a Professional Architect and my vision is of a world where Solar, Wind, Geothermal, Tidal and all other Clean Energy Generation Capabilities are Common if not a required feature of all building projects. ANY ROOF AREA NOT GENERATING ELECTRICITY RIGHT NOW IS A WASTE OF VALUABLE SPACE.
I have a plan for a series of web sites, from informational sites with PPC capabilities to Product Sales sites hooked in to ebay and direct product purchasing manufacturers for all things Energy.
I need to market my Architectural Firm and the “Green Design / Build Company” which I am branching out into. I also have in mind a few green products to be marketed possibly in an affiliate marketing launched campaign.
I have a lot to learn and your words of wisdom are helping to shape my vision’s end product.
My vision is to build an internet business that creates massive wealth to build a Christian center for orphans/widows/battered women. Where they can live safely in peace to get an education, and be happy. To get them out of despair and make some dreams come true.
My vision is basically to earn at least 7 figure income through Internet Marketing. With that income I want to buy my type of dream car which is convertible car. With that income, I want to buy a condominium. With that income I want to venture into more business as I want to create more job opportunities for the physically challenge people as I am one of them.
Most of the messages disguise a ‘GOAL’ without a ‘PLAN. That’s because ‘GOAL’S’ ARE ‘DREAMS! SO THEY LIST A DOLLAR ANNUAL SUM – THE MAGIC WORD IS $1,000,000! BREAK IT DOWN WEEKLY! NOW A PLAN BASED ON WEEKLY GROSS BECOMES REDUCED TO EFFORT: UNTIL I START WITH A ‘REALISTIC’ GOAL BASED ON A PERCENT OF RESPONSE [LEADS] HITS; AT LEAST A 40 TO 1 RATIO -HOW CAN I HAVE A VISION THAT’S BEYOND A FANTASY OF THE MIND? IT’S PURELY SUBJECTIVE!!! I HAVE A VISION 2 IN FACT; BUT IT’S TOO PREMATURE TO THROW FIGURES AT THE WALL. IF I DON’T KNOW WHAT’S REALISTIC, HOW CAN THIS TRANSLATE INTO WORK ENERGY THAT IS PREDICTABLE? I’LL NEVER BE DISCOURAGED AS LONG AS I CAN EVALUATE THE ‘DRAW’ OF A GIVEN PROGRAM. PERHAPS I WILL NEED TWO OR MORE ‘DRAWS’ DESIGNED FOR DIFFERENT CUSTOMER ‘NEEDS’ TO MEET A MINUMUM. I’M HOPING TO LEARN SOME OF THESE EVALUATION TOOLS SO THAT EACH SEGMENT OF MARKETING APPEAL WILL EVALUATE A SEGMENT OF THAT POTENTIAL MARKET RESPONSE. HOPE THIS IS NOT RUNNING FROM REALITY, BUT I’VE LIVED TOO LONG AND TOO OFTEN ‘CONVINCED’ MYSELF THAT THE DISH I’M SERVED WILL NOT VANISH, WHEN IN FACT, THE POTENTIAL REALITY IS ILLUSION. IF I DON’T EXPECT BUT A BITE-FULL, MY APPETITE WILL INCREASE, JUST CHANGE THE FORMULA. FROM AL WHALEY GIVETOGAIL.INFO NOT UP YET.
My vision is to build successful businesses online and offline. I want to have financial freedom and spend quality time with my family. I want to achieve an income of a few millions (in US dollar) a year. By achieving that, then I want to help people or to motivate people to succeed in their lives. I want to be a motivation guru or personal development guru to motivate people to be successful and not waste their life and time. Money is very important to me, but if I can help people to achieve their financial freedom or succeed, that’s more satisfying my life will be. I know it’s not easy but I know I can achieve it because I know the secret of success already and I just want to prove it to people.
My vision is to establish an internet business which will allow me to aquire enough income to ensure my family can live their lives without the stress of not having. My vision is having an income that will fulfill all I neeed to allow me to share with the less fortunate in life.

MY VISION: Is to have Internet Home Business to work from my computer in any place of the world. Because of my age (69) I can not get any job of my proffesion (CPA) I were looking for 5 years now without any sucsess. It is my only hope because my savings has gone, I have no money and my credit cards are at limit. I may confess that I was looking for this opportunity since probably three years ago and I found a lot of scams. Every body want to sell their secrets to became a millionaire through the Internet but it is so complicate that is almost impossible to get to the end.
Hope this time is true
My objective is to operate an internet estate producing, in the first stage, a minimum of US $10K per month net income comprising of properties of which, after my having thoroughly learnt the process of building promoting and maintenance, would be outsourced for further multiplication, requiring of me finally less than 12 hours a week to administer. The whole enterprise must reflect the highest standards of value, equity and integrity and be mutually beneficial for all concerned.
