Take the first step!

This morning, I was working on another of my websites, writing some new articles to be posted over the next few days.  While working, I was listening to a US radio station over the internet. Suddenly, a commercial came on the station.  It was just in the background, so I didn’t listen closely.  However, the commercial was somewhat related to this site, so it caught a little more of my attention than would be normal.

How was it related to this site?  Well, a company was advertising for a course that they were offering in how to earn money on the Internet, which is what this site is all about.  I’ve been earning my living online for a decade or so now (6+ years straight, with some part time earning before that), so anytime this subject comes up, it always gets my interest.

At the end of the commercial, they had a line that they gave, I’ll say it was the company’s “tag line,” and it was quite effective:

Deciding to be wealthy is the first step toward becoming wealthy.

Now, let me say, this is something that I have believed for a long, long time.  It’s not just a throw away line, or a gimmick to try to sell something for me.  I honestly believe firmly that this statement is 100% correct.

How about you, do you want to be wealthy?  Really want to be wealthy?  Most people will instinctively answer yes to that question.  But, if you examine their life, it is easy to see that they don’t act in ways that would prove their “yes” answer.  In fact, I believe that many people are afraid of becoming wealthy.

Let’s even take this examination beyond being wealthy.  How about this question - do you want to earn money on the Internet, enough money to enjoy a comfortable life?  Many people, in my opinion are afraid of that.

There is nothing shameful about being wealthy, or earning a comfortable living.  If you think that there is something shameful or wrong in doing that, you are handicapping yourself, and you will likely never experience true success.

A few months back, I wrote a series of articles entitled “Bob’s $1 per day project.”  You can find some of the articles featured on the Homepage of this site.  $1 per day is not much, some people will just shrug that off, even ignore it, perhaps even laugh about it.  But, to become wealthy, you must start somewhere.  Each $1 extra per day that you can earn is a building block.  If you can get an extra $1 per day, then find another $1 per day to put on top of that, pretty soon you can start earning some real money.  But, you must want to do it.  If you don’t really want it, and believe that you can do it, you will never do it!

Are you ready to decide to be wealthy?  How about deciding to just make an extra dollar tomorrow?  That’s the first step!
