Look at Amway. Their top people make their money on selling things <I>to</I> the distributors. The same goes for the business coaching industry, home party companies, etc.. There really is no substitute for <I>following through</I> on a solid plan to get you to your business goals. Someone has to have determination, patience, and be "hard headed" about refusing to give up!<BR/>In response to a previous poster, Theresa, every business has to be just that first - a business. If it doesn't make money, you are out of business and then can't help anyone or enjoy it anymore. This happens to a ton of startups every year. (Lots of passion + not caring how / if the biz makes any money)<BR/>It's just a matter of changing "your" mantra that you are to giving yourself: "Once you do what you love for money (and don't stop until you get it), you can retire off of it!" See blog by donna's comments for a great example of this!<BR/>I've been doing what I love for 9 years - working for myself. You can do it ladies!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412751410043909389.post-23799372906559835692008-07-17T06:12:00.000-07:002008-07-17T06:12:00.000-07:00This was a very interesting post.

I'm an optimist though, so I think I'm going to be an exception to the rule. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412751410043909389.post-86330747887329314822008-07-15T12:32:00.000-07:002008-07-15T12:32:00.000-07:00excellent post!! so essentially we need to come u...excellent post!! so essentially we need to come up with something that bloggers NEED and then we'll make money! :-)Mommy Merylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07515639857250083715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6412751410043909389.post-7847631724919574182008-07-15T07:19:00.000-07:002008-07-15T07:19:00.000-07:00You're probably right.

Once you do something for money, all the enjoyment is sucked out of it.thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10515444439567930489noreply@blogger.com
