Right on, Joel, exactly what I talk about in my book, 5 Bucks a Day, the old Focus habit.

Dennis:

Thanks for this ¨Straight to the Point¨ advice,
also it is very important to learn a method first,
that could be affiliate marketing, adsense, etc.
and stick to it until it works and then go and try
another thing, well, that is my point of view because
i am not the kind of person that can do many things
at once because i feel overwhelmed.

My wishes for you and all the people is that you
can set high goals for this year and that you are
able to achieve it.

Great post Dennis,

I agree totally… Fail fast… Because as entrepreneurs we don’t learn until we have personally made the mistake. Experts can tell us over and over not to make certain mistakes, but, until we actually make the mistake ourselves it doesn’t actually register.

I believe this is a critical part of putting in the 10,000 hours required to succeed in this business… Fail fast!

Have the most prosperous 2011 everyone.

Yep, this is a good time to start thinking about 2011. Rachel and I were discussing this very thing on the phone today, and will have another mastermind session on Friday about it.

What a good reminder of some of the most important but least sexy things about making money online — it is very easy to forget to treat your business LIKE a business. Guess I should spend the evening going over my business plans for 2011. Thanks for the push/prod/reminder!!

I know your stuff is always good Dennis…was actually talking to someone about the same thing earlier today and how NOT to fail at Internet Marketing…LOL

Wow, thanks Sam, I guess. You haven’t read everything I’ve written though, I hope, because I like some of the others.

Let me know what you think of the post I make on Thursday.

But yep, mistakes are part of the game, for sure.

Dennis,

If my vote counted I would say this is the BEST article you have written this year…

Brings back memories when I was first getting started online years ago and all the trial and error that I had to go through to finally be successful online and make a full time income at it…and it didn’t happen overnight…took many of late nights and a lot of mistakes to learn how to make money online…and I still have to learn new techniques to keep a step ahead of my competition…its part of the game…

Heck back then I did not even have anyone to learn from, I did it on my own…so all of you out there have an advantage now a days…you have people who can coach you and plenty of blogs to learn from so take advantage of it and learn from others…

If you are LAZY, then the best thing for you to do is right now is go to the fridge, grab you a sandwich and a drink and get your LAZY butt back on the couch to watch some more of Judge Judy…

Keep it real Dennis and Happy New Year to you and your family…

That’s a great saying, Lynne, I’ll try to remember it. Happy New Year to you also.

Dennis,

Thanks for the posting. Even though I do not have the funds to start up my business, I am working diligently every day on smaller feeder programs and saving up the money when I cash out. When the time is right, everything will fall into place and I have learned that patience, passion and persistence will ultimately lead to perfection in all aspects of life. Happy New Year 2011!!
