I am tired of excuses from people.

Maybe I’m just hormonal today, but this really irks me.

I get asked this question alot.

And YES, home-based businesses are reliable… as reliable as YOU are.

And YES, you can create an online business with zero money (other than your computer and internet connection). Any tools you may require can be found for free online.

No, you don’t have to “work harder than you would at your office”. What would be the point??

Will it take work? Yup.

If you are looking for a magic button, there isn’t one.

If you need to create enough cash to live on, then you need to be prepared to spend a few hours daily on the task. Choose your business niche, decide on a plan, and TAKE ACTION.

The only thing that can stop you from making money is YOU.

Don’t spend weeks “researching”.

Don’t get bogged down in information overload.

Choose a plan that sounds logical and does not promise the moon from respected industry leaders (Google them to see what others think of them) and work the plan.

It really is that simple.

If there’s anything I really appreciate it’s someone who says what he thinks – no holds barred. I really enjoy fresh perspectives that are driven by the sincere wish to educate, and better still, when their opinion coincides with my own.

Rick Butts just posted a video about the “Worst Internet Marketing Advice He’s Ever Heard”, and it’s right on the money, in my opinion.

Rick’s recent blog post “Unsubscribe From Whomever Emailed You Stompernet” back in mid-May was a great discussion-starter. It’s entirely useless to be subscribed to endless lists that regurgitate cut-and-paste emails for every promotion under the sun.

These types of emails tell me two things:

1. The person who wrote (cut-and-pasted) the product owner’s supplied email has not bothered to review the product/service themselves; if they had, they would have supplied me with their own personal assessment.
2. The person who sent this email couldn’t even be bothered to spend a few moments to personalize it, which generally means to me that they are not interested in educating or providing products targeted to their list – they are simply looking for a quick buck.

While it’s not a bad idea to subscribe to a list if you think you may get value from it, don’t be afraid you’ll “miss something” by unsubscribing if they are simply spewing duplicate emails that clog up your inbox.

The advice that Rick made his rant video about – subscribing to every list you can find – is a ridiculous waste of your time. Find and follow those who share your values, provide excellent content/advice, and most importantly, fit with the goals you’ve set out for your business.
