Martin Malden here…
…thanks for visiting!
I’ve been working online for a while now. When I started out I was full of starry-eyed enthusiasm for this new business that was going to make me financially independent.
Like pretty much everyone, I was hit with countless (probably hundreds) of emails, ads and websites, all promising me mega riches tomorrow. They had the secret (so they said) that the ‘gurus’ didn’t want me to know about - the secret to how all those guru’s made their millions.
As long as I applied this system I’d be seeing my bank account ‘bursting’ with all those commission cheques just flooding into it, while I sat on the beach or played golf, or hung out with friends.
Sorry - wrong number!
In early 2007 I joined a business that made the same wildly optimistic claims - and, again, completely failed to deliver. Two months in, and being extremely frustrated and disillusioned, I very nearly walked away from it.
Thankfully I didn’t, because I’ve recovered my investment now, and things are beginning to go my way.
So what have I learned? What’s my ’secret’ system?
Sorry to disappoint you. There’s no secret system. What it takes is that boring old word: WORK.
Setting up a business online is absolutely no different from setting up a ‘traditional’, bricks and mortar business. It requires proper planning, proper funding, perseverance, patience and work.
Most likely it will also require that you learn some new skills.
The purpose of this blog is, therefore, to offer the benefit of my experience in the hope that others who are looking for a way out of the rat race will persevere when things get tough. As they will!
Please feel free to join in the conversation by commenting on posts. Tell us readers about your own experiences - good and bad. Commenting not only benefits other readers it benefits you as well, because it gets back-links to your blog.
I do have a pretty liberal policy with approving comments. But I do lose patience with completely value-free comments that are put there solely for the link. Those comments will not be approved - but most others will be.
Again - thanks for stopping by and I wish you all the best for your online endeavours!
Sincerely,
