I just survived a sinking ship. It was supposed to be the greatest business opportunity of a lifetime. I was all in. In fact, I was one of the leaders of this program and I had a team of over 200 people. For six months it was a great ride. I didn’t notice the holes in the ship. Furthermore, I didn’t notice that we were taking on water.

I have been online for three years. It took me 26 months before I had my first $1000 day. The next month I had my first $1500 day and the $2000 day. I thought this was the beginning of endless riches. Before this success, I struggled for two years in my business never making over $100 in a month. But I knew that I would succeed.

Opportunities Come and Go

New launches for internet marketing and business opportunities can be short. Some launches don’t even make it past the first week let alone 90 days. The darling companies of 2012, 2013, and 2014 are either gone or on their last leg. The smart entrepreneurs get in, make money, make their teams money, and hop on the next wave.

I struggled for two years looking for that magic pill. That push-button system that would lead to endless riches never materialized. Those $39.95 marketing packages, $99 monthly coaching fees, and Shiny Objects did nothing but drain my accounts. I bought a lot of stuff and now you can’t find those products anywhere.
