1. You will get rich quick. Marketing on the internet takes
a lot of work. This is not a get rich quick scheme. It
takes much time learning and failing before you will
succeed. Your success is entirely up to you. You will reap
what you sow.

2. You won't make any money. Again you will reap what you
sow. Your key to success is through consistency and
persistency. If you are willing to learn and accept
failures from time to time, learn from your mistakes and
apply that knowledge- the money will come. Don't give up.
There are lots of people who truly do make money this way.

3. Anyone can do this. If you tell your self there is
nothing to this , you will set yourself up for guaranteed
failure. A profession such as this takes a lot of
discipline and most of all the willingness to learn. It
takes a lot of hard work and an open mind. You have to be
willing to embrace new ideas as they come and take this
seriously.

4. Not everyone can do this. This is also not true. As long
as you free your mind to skepticism such as these ...
... you have
taken your first step. While this profession takes time to
figure out, it is not hard to figure out. Remember the only
person stopping you is you!

5. It is to hard. Look within your self. There is an online
business in you. What do you know? What do you like. What
do you need that has not been created yet? Answers to these
questions and questions like them are the beginnings of you
having the ability to set yourself apart from the crowd.

6. It will be easy. It will get easier, but you will have
to do loads of studying. Spend many hours brainstorming.
You will spend many hours reading, writing, and learning
what works and what doesn't. It will get tedious and hard
to stick to. Persevere, your reward is coming.

7. It will only require 2-3 hours a day. At some point you
will be able to automate most of your efforts. In the
beginning, long hours are not unheard of. I have spent many
18 hour days in front of my computer.

8. This is not a real job. Yeah right! You will come across
many skeptics. Or worse than that, people who do not reveal
skepticism but merely look at you funny. Believe me this is
a real job. You will be just as exhausted from working and
researching all day as you would slinging 50 pound sacks of
flour all day. When you are mentally exhausted you will be
physically exhausted. You work hard, don't allow the people
who minimize your efforts get to you.

9. The only good reason to do this is for the money. That
could not be further from the truth. There is a lot to
gain, the money is a plus of course. Learning will always
make you a better person. If you are happy with your self,
everyone else will be to. You can't beat the hours.

10. It takes years to learn online business. Not true. The
best suggestion is to study hard. Read your newsletters and
the articles in them. Listen to those who are already
successful. They are already telling you what to do and how
to do it. Now you just need to listen and learn.
