How To Really Kill Your Day Job!
“Take this job and shove it.” “Kill your day job!” “Murder your day job!” I mean the list of anti-day job songs and internet marketing programs is apparently endless.
You would think people don’t like working–for other people, that is!
Just before I started seeing real success in internet marketing, a friend asked me if I would consider working for the same Fortune 500 company she was working for. The job would have been in software training. I got an appointment with her boss and interviewed him. This was a couple of days before Thanksgiving, three or so years ago.
I went to the appointment, parked in the parking lot, which was deserted because of the holidays, then rode the elevator up to the top floor of a fifty story building. The company’s office was virtually deserted. There was a receptionist there, and my friend’s boss.
The interview lasted for about three hours. It felt promising, but I was more interested in making my budding internet business work than I was getting another job! I think this guy must have picked up on that, because he asked me what I was going to do if he couldn’t hire me. (Hiring me was not a matter of wanting to–it was a matter of getting the funding for another employee.)
I told him about my websites. How I had discovered internet marketing, and how I was finally having some success.
I detected that “I wish I could” look in the guy’s eyes that I see in people now, when I tell them (or try to tell them) what it is I exactly do.
When I left, I knew I wouldn’t take the job. I had turned down a different path. One that I had been headed toward all my life. For me, there was no turning back!
I had finally escaped! And it was like I was looking at my former world across a chasm–the chasm that keeps everyone else imprisoned–except I was finally on the other side of it.
Becoming the entrepreneur you’ve always wanted to become is mainly a leap of faith! It’s also a deep exercise in self-belief.
If you haven’t spent at least a year or two learning this business, I don’t think you are going to find the magic bullet that allows you to make ten grand next month. Now, I’m sure there are people who do, but they’re rare.
Have you ever heard of John Reese? He was the first guy to actually make a million dollars in one day on the Internet. Actually, he made it in eighteen hours!
But what preceded that flood of money is what most people don’t know about.
Just as for all of us who finally become successful, there are usually years of hard, discouraging work that form the foundation of our successes.
When John Reese was in his very early twenties, he was over $100,000 in debt–debt he had incurred from trying stuff on the Internet that didn’t work!
I’m not suggesting you go into debt! I am suggesting that what separates you from your dream is not finding the perfect ebook that’s going to unlock all the secrets for you. The only thing that is separating you from your dream is a ton of hard work.
So, go ahead! Take action! Jump in the deep end of the pool! The sooner you really take action, the sooner you’re going to be standing on the other side of that chasm with me.
