    What made you decide ?

    After many disappointments and having worked with too many people who just didn't do their jobs like they were supposed to, the desceptive world of burocracy, corruption and incompetent management I decided I wanted to do "My Own Thing". No more working for someone else, doing stuff I didn't want to do...

    If you stand behind what you do you're a lot more motivated.

    What made you decide to go for online business and internet marketing ?

    I don't really have a problem with working at a real job, which I am still doing. But with internet marketing I can achieve inimaginal financial success with a job, so that's why I'm going for it. I'm wanting passive income and freedom.

    That's exactly what the whole online business thing is about in my opinion.
    Of course we do it out of passion and we want to achieve something, but the main reason is being able to enjoy life with a passive, steady income.

    I got tired of all the office politics and the need every year to have to prove I was still doing a good job and deserved a raise. In my own business, I can get a raise any time I want by just working harder or adding a new stream of income. And what I really like: I can take time off when it suits me, not on someone else's schedule. Freedom!

    i totally agreed with you, sometimes in order to get promotion you need to compete with each other, sometime up to 4 people, the position just only one... so you have to act dishonestly in front of your boss.. sometime the big boss choose the wrong person. You have no freedom at all..

    I would never compete for a promotion. If I'd have to compete for it...the other one can have it.
    Appreciation and recognition for your efforts and your quality work would be a reason to get a promotion.

    Another reason I wanted to quit the normal job...even though I was my own boss, I was hired by bigger companies and still working for someone else really.

    Its true andre..Not all people have capabilities to turn themselves in the world of IM. so they just have to stick with their job even though they don't like it..but people that stick with normal job must be respected also, without them, the nation's economy will collapse

    A normal job has limitations. I don't care what you do, IM, SEO, or sell books online. When you work at a job you have a limited income barrier for the most part, unless you are lucky enough to become the CEO of a major corporation. The main point is going into business for yourself and your opportunities are there. As Winston said, "Don't look at obstacles as obstacles, but an opportunity". That is the main point of doing these things for yourself, and to create a nice life for yourself.

    i agreed with linited income barrier issues... when you work under company, first you must think how far you can go in that company and also the salary, do calculate for yourself, for example 10 years of salary, how far it can go, and if you choose IM as career, the income is limitless.. as long as you keep striving..

    Never been a fan of the 9 to 5 lifestyle. While I'm still at my day job at the moment, I'm getting closer and closer to kicking it out the door. I'm closing in on my savings goal (just to have that cushion financially) and when I do, it's time to take the leap! In order to advance, you just have to take risks - plain and simple.

    that's true, low risk (day job) low income, high risk (IM) high income make sure you have a proper plan or backup plan before you decide to be full time IM'er

    Online business gives you freedom, it gives you varieties of choices some choice may match your skills, knowledge, experience then it would become very easy for you, yes, instead of selling other's products and services, sell your products or services it would be more beneficial than others products and services, believe me.

    because of freedom.. that's the main thing people made a decision.. you are not tier to anybody, you are on your own, if you fail, you the only one will take responsible for that

    Hi

    I decided to start IM once i found out about it. There was nothing else I was interested in enough to do as a job as I was still in school, plus I didn't want to be earning the bare minimum to make a living. I guess I was always looking for a way out and then I heard about internet marketing and how much you can achieve by doing it.

    i knew your history, i read it at previous thread, you start learning IM since high school which i think the best step to further your income before reach 20s, during my high school time, i never get a chance to use PC or even internet is so hard to get, my life is full of school activity
