Contrary to what some of the so-called guru’s may say, having an online business is not for everyone. But in order to judge whether it’s a good fit for you, we first must define what an online business is and what it isn’t.
Please watch the following video:
Main points:
a) get over your fear
or
b) decide to be happy with your job, and forget about starting a business
Action steps:
1) Answer the following question honestly:
Do I want to run my own business?
As always, you are welcome to post your questions and comments below.
Have a great day!
Hi Iftekhar,
I agree that hope and encouragement are 2 very important ingredients for success! Hang in there and best of luck to you!

Also if you bookmark http://www.erictips.com you can check it every morning for new lessons…sometimes it can take over 24hrs to receive a notice by email. Just a tip for consideration.
🙂
Wishing you nothing but the best and a VERY speedy recovery…I’ll say a prayer for you as well.Hang in there…it will get better!

Hi Bill,
Just bookmark Erics homepage and check it daily. You’ll see the lessons faster as email can take upwards of 24hrs. It works better if your in a hurry to view them. Best of luck to you!

Yes…it’s funny how negativity and negative messages we tell ourselves can hold us back from accomplishing things. It sounds like you have a lot of good insight that I could benefit from. Best of luck to you!

Joels new adsense book is excellent(just read it)…I highly recommend it! Be careful everyone,there is a lot of adsense junk out there so take Erics advice and recommendations.

Hi There,
Yes….affiliate marketing can very much so be considered an online business and there are many people who make a lot from doing this. However I beleive you can make even more if your able to develop your own products and sell them yourself.This way your item is unique and one of a kind.Best of luck to you!

Hi Lyn,

Rommy

hi Eric i paid a large sum of money to a company to train me internet marketing but i find i am not getting it . is there recourse i can take to get my money back ..just a thought .thanks Eric
Hi Eric,
First, let me say thanks for the great tips, advice and frank discussion about the in’s and out’s of having an internet business.
Second, I could use some help. I am in the business of life coaching. I had a web designer create my website about 16 months ago and I’ve been painfully reminded that everytime I need to make a change to the website, I have to pay her to do it.
I’d like to make my own changes so it won’t be so costly. I don’t even have my coaching prices up on my webstie which actually makes my website a high dollar business card.
Of course, I didn’t know any of this until recently. Should I ditch my current website and buy XSitePro so I can start over and actually make changes myself? I will be adding eBooks and other products shortly.
Also, I send out a newsletter every two weeks with Constant Contact. CC doesn’t have autoresponder capability. I’m thinking about switching to IContact because they send out newsletters and have autoresponder capability. Should I make the switch or wait it out for now?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Kathleen

YES!
Hey Eric,
I agree being a business owner is not for everyone. I’ve been a business owner for 29 years. The internet is a different ballgame with a completely diffrent skill set. Fear was huge for me going into the internet world. Whenever I had to learn a new application I would have a full out anxiety/panic attic. You know, the kind where you want to throw your computer out the window. Things have gotten easier the more I do them. I give my all and try to be patient with myself. Thank you so much for giving so much. Your parents must be so proud!
Thanks,
Melina

Once you make your label folder in Gmail you will want to put Erics Tips in it & then you will want to Archive it.(that saves Erics Tips)

Hope you are feeling better and everything is all right with you. Godspeed.
Ok Eric I’m on board
once again, been struggling with overload issues but my incoming personal emails are getting lighter and I am slowly becoming able to stay focused on just your tips and lessons(I am putting a lot of faith in you).Sad to say my wife just lost her job so I am trying to talk her into taking over my lessons from The Success Network (I’m locked in with them and feel that I have hit the “brick wall” anyway)and I have purchased 3 programs from the “Sean Casey group” that I have yet to attempt to launch.It was too late when I received your stop buying stuff tip:(.
But to answer your question,YES YES YES!
Thanks Again Eric

Hi Eric
Thanks again for taking the time to do these lessons. It is a direction that this business has needed for a long time. As I get my own business going providing real info on how to do it will be a staple in my own newsletter. I also checked out your online prayer community that you mentioned in the last lesson. I joined and posted my own prayer request. God bless you for your efforts and i look forward to completing all the lessons and gaining the freedom we all deserve.
Keep working your way through Eric’s lessons and it will become clearer for you (it worked for me). Sometimes you may need to go through some of the lessons as well. Here is a link to some more free videos that might help provide some ideas. http://preview.tinyurl.com/nitrovideos
