From personal experience. sorrund yourself with like minded friends. And by this i dont mean, dreamers that tok but dont have any idea of whats going on. Or a manager, banker, . i mean someone thats really trying to "take over the world".
This site has alot of good advise but this alone wont guarantee success.
Example.
i dropped out of uni 3 years ago. Tried a few things that didnt work, along the way, i met alot of people but i made sure that atleast 75% of everyone i met knew what i was aiming for. i met 3 people like myself- similar goals. 2 of them have got me where i am. we tok on phone atleast every day. if we aint discussing how to go about or improve what each of us is currently doing(usually related), we are toking about what to do next. whats going to get us that quick cash. what possibly bigger than what were are currently doing.
Ive personally got so far in a very very short period of time. Yesterday i laughed when i thought how much i would be earning if i completed uni and got the PROFESSIONAL JOB. coz that currently wat am TRYING(blueprint) to get a monthshd take another 4-5 months.



Anywayz good luck to you and everyone on this site

Never give in to fear.

There are two seperate things caution and fear. Caution is good, it leads to dilligence and care.

Fear is irrational and stops you even getting moving.

I am still intrigued by the question of what is the one piece of business advice you would give a business. I don't have an answer. Take a look at www.telegraphbusinessclub.co.uk. That is exactly what they do. Case studies of companies who have challenges, advice and success stories also. There is also a page in the paper on a Tuesday.

Tell me what you think.

Thanks :-)

" Everyone in the world is your customer even your Dad"

"Selling is a thing which anyone can do but standing taller behind your customer is what you have to do."


"Just like Antivirus are made first then the viruses, one should first make the Refund and moneyback policy before making the trading and selling policy."


it works for me hope it work for you guys too
