The hardest thing is knowing if what you’re doing is actually worthwhile to other people, especially when feedback and advice is rather scarce initially.

Internet Business Mastery Academy…;)

I find, however, that if I just wait a couple of hours and take my mind off of it, I’m able to pull out of that funk. It’s momentary. It’s tough, I do want to quit from time to time. I’ve just barely started my project365 (a picture a day for a year) and already I have days where I think “man, do I really have to do this today??” but when I start working on it, I get motivated, and it’s easy. It’s pushing myself to start that is the hard, after that, it just flows.

I’ve prayed about my online success, and I have faith that my Lord won’t quit on me as long as I don’t quit on myself. I also keep my “Wealth Why’s” posted near my computer to remind me of my long term motivation/goals. I have big dreams that I’ll never achieve if I let this step defeat me. Thanks for the post.

Thank you,

I agree that the parallels between training and building streams of passive income are undeniable. Gym training is often called body-BUILDING, and for a good reason. Given the inherently gradual nature of building muscle, I often think of gym work as being similar to laying down layer after layer of paint on something: the benefit from each session by itself is imperceptible, but eventually you will really notice a difference.

Working on a blog and setting up passive income is similar, in my mind. Each post, each comment, each $, are little layers that you have to lay down, eventually building into something bigger than the sum of the parts!

The cost of the program on the other hand is still out of my league, but clearly well worth it.

Making passive income is a lifestyle. You have to stay dedicated.

As far as business plans, I don’t worry about them with blogging or internet business type stuff. I just, as you say, bite the bullet and go for it. Hustle, and try to crush it

anyways…yeah, that really stinks, Pat!

if you don’t mind me asking, again….how long was that article on eHow before they decided that it needed to be deleted, Pat?

…and, was that one of your highest earners?

Here’s another trick I use that has to do with the picture folder. You can use Google Picassa, which is free, to make a really nice collage from photos that you select. I have mine on my computer desktop, so I look at it every time I open my laptop.

If you want to see what mine looks like, you can go to my site and then hit the “my dream life” link at the very top.

I’m really amazed at the frequency at which you are producing these quality posts, man.

My personaly sticking point is constantly reminding myself what I am working towards and why it’s worth it. That’s the most effective thing for me, but also the most difficult thing to consistently do.
