I know that I’ve written plenty of articles about not giving up on your online dream, but this is a very important one.  The truth is that most of us were really down and out before we achieved real success online.

Look at just about any guru.  I could run down the list and just about all of them were down and out before they achieved online success.  People who were unemployed, in massive amounts of debt and maybe also experienced a ton of bad experiences when it came to making money online.

The world is a tough place and successful people are usually resilient and determined.  You can say, well, some people grow up with rich parents or have the business passed on to them.

Well, when it comes to making money online.  That probably doesn’t exist.  Think about your parents, do they have a great online business to pass on to you?  My mom doesn’t even know how to check her own e-mail and I’m a young person.  I also doubt that a rich person is going to focus on making money online.  They just sit back and collect.

The truth is that anyone can be successful online.  I’ve met some idiots who are successful online.  I’ve put that blunt, but they even admit that.  I’m not saying that it is bad to be intelligent, I’m just saying that anyone can be successful online.

It usually does take some courage to make money online.  You’re not getting paid by the hour, in most instances, and it is the great unknown.  When are you going to be successful online, pretty tough to predict?

I always stress having plan B.  Now, when you have plan B, don’t rely on it as a crutch.  Don’t try and make money online by having a vacation, go into it with full force.  Think about plan B as a worse case scenario.  A plan B is to have a job or some other income set up.  It is a fall back plan.

Give plan A, making all of your online dreams come true, full attention.  Give it everything that you have got.  It isn’t easy, but you have to put the effort in and make sure that you don’t give up because a bump in the road.  I’ve been doing this for years now and I get bumps in the road, everyday.

You have to anticipate the unanticipated.
