Sometimes it can get lonely in the online world. You come here to make money, you fight the struggles, and often you get discouraged. It is hard to start with an online business, no-one said it would be easy. But only the thought that it is possible drives you forward.

The stats are pretty sad – only 10% of people who try to make money online ever make a penny. Even though the process is well documented, there are step by step examples all over the place. Still most people fail. What’s even sadder is that most of those who fail, do it when they’re just a step away from success.

Focus and persistence. Those are the only two things necessary to make it. Amazon is selling for tens of millions online each year, why can’t you sell for $10, and then repeat that. They’re big you’ll say, yet a 13 year old kid next door makes online ten times the salary of what his peers make working at McDonald’s.

Is the kid more knowledgeable or smarter than you? No, he’s just a kid, and believe it or not, it’s what makes him succeed. Kids see things a lot simpler than us adults, and more often than not things are a lot simpler than we make them to be. He sees that to make money with Adsense you have to create a website with a fair amount of pages, he does it and makes a few bucks. He thinks, oh cool, that’s more than he’d make for mowing the neighbors lawn and makes ten more sites to make a hundred dollars and so on.

You on the other hand, make a few bucks from the site, conclude that it won’t pay your mortgage and scrap it. However, Rome wasn’t built in a day, where in life do you see money flooding in from just few hours of work. It may take months and years to build a solid business, but that kid will be rich by the time he’s an adult.

My point is, sometimes we have to re-discover the world anew as if it was the first time we make money. Do you remember the thrill? Remember how that feels and let it drive you. You’re not gonna regret it.
