I just don’t stay this enough. Being an entrepreneur on the internet is the way to go.

Note, I didn’t say “work at home on the internet”, and I didn’t say “internet biz”, or “make money on the internet”, or any number of internet business scams that exists out there, attaching the word “internet”.

I think, at the root of internet success, is your understanding, and desire, to be an Entrepreneur. Those people whom work on the net as entrepreneurs, and treat businesses as real businesses, and not hobbies, or portrayals of vanity, will almost always succeed. It’s the nature of Entrepreneurs to eventually find success (often through failure).

Anyone can do this. And yes, I really believe anyone can be successful in business on the internet. The barrier to entry is very low, and the barrier to success is fairly high. If you have a computer, an internet connection and a passion, you have what it takes to be successful online.

While reading this, realize that you, yourself, could have all of these things if you don’t already. It’s all out there, and entirely possible!

So, as an internet entrepreneur, and internet business owner, I enjoy a lifestyle that is unbelievable, even to me. I often find myself amazed at what I have accomplished, and what is possible. The benefits are vast indeed! Yes, it’s very financially rewarding, but honestly, the benefits of internet business go far beyond that, and I’ll mix a few business and personal benefits.

Let’s talk job satisfaction!

Passion! I work on, and in, my passions. Those areas that interest me, that’s what I do on a daily basis. You can focus your internet business around that which motivates and drives you. How cool is that? Really, work is only second to sleep, in the amount of our lives we’ll spend doing it - so you really must love your work.

Speed of Execution: I work on something, and it’s live in hours, or days. Compare this to my past corporate jobs in Video Games, where projects would literally take years to see results. This creates real job satisfaction, and after my first foundational year, allows me to see nearly daily results from my work.

Automation: Let’s call this multiple streams of automated income. Work once, get paid for years, regardless of whether you keep working or not. Try doing that at your day job - it’s not going to happen! This, to me, is one of the greatest benefits of the Internet Marketing lifestyle. I create an automated business in my areas of interest, and they just keep earning, and earning, and earning.

Worldwide Reach: At the touch of a few buttons, I am no longer a local business, but one with worldwide reach, and worldwide sales. Try doing this in our parent’s time - it would be unthinkable, and costly. In our time, it’s a click of a mouse … I love this benefit, and my customer’s are worldwide, in dozens of countries and cities.

Work Time and Results: I determine when, if, and for how long, I work. Each and every day, I am master of my own time. Whether I work at all, go running, play out in the sun, or stay in front of my computer it’s all up to me. I can visit Hawaii, Singapore, or Fiji on a moments notice, and run my entire business from there (and yes, I do actually do this). It’s amazingly freeing - and is entirely different way to live your life. While I’m not married, if I were, this would allow me time with my wife, and children, that otherwise most Men (or women) entirely miss in modern day society.

Now, there’s good and bad to that. With great freedom, comes an even greater ability to not work, to lose focus, and to become unhappy, due mainly to lack of structure in your life (human beings crave structure - hence cubicles). That’s why I think it’s important to be of an entrepreneurial mind when working on the internet.

Each and every day, the motivation to work, the desire to build your business, and put in the hours, has to come from inside you. There’s no one telling you what to do, but yourself. You have to find your way, create and believe in your plan, and then execute it. You have to do all this, with no one telling you when, or how, to accomplish it. You have to be an Entrepreneur.

I used to ask myself, why wouldn’t everyone live this way? What stops people from doing what I do? I just can’t imagine that everyone wouldn’t want an internet business? Why the hell not, right?

The truth of the matter is, and what I need to truly understand, is that this lifestyle is not for everybody. I can’t imagine why everyone wouldn’t want it, but they don’t. For a quick example, It’s not for the cubicle workers, the non dreamers, the people who crave structure … in essence, it’s really ONLY for entrepreneurs. That’s it. I said it. That’s what I’ve found out. The interesting part is, that while not everyone IS an entrepreneur or has that drive and spirit to be one, everyone CAN do it, if they desire. That being said, many people just don’t have the willpower or desire to do it …

And that’s ok … but as I launch my internet business to train and consult others on internet business creation, I need to make sure I understand what type of people I’m going after. I need to imagine my ideal client! I need to really, truly, understand the type of person I’m trying to reach.

And for that, I need to understand the Entrepreneur - but not just how to reach them … I think I know that. I think, perhaps, I need to know how to create them too.

And that’s enough work for today …
