1. Stop trading hours for dollars, you will never be paid
   what your mind is worth. Use your natural entrepreneurial
   skills to start your own business. We ALL have a natural
   desire to be on our own, to be free of a boss and perhaps
   even to be the boss. Whether full time or part time, the
   only way to truly control your income is to be the OWNER.

2. Find an industry that makes money no matter what the
   economic forecast. There are certain products and
   services that will always be in demand. Look around and
   think it through - What will people need and/or do
   without regard to how tight money is or the rate of
   inflation, etc.?

3. Look for a type of company that is suffering or going
   away or changing radically. Whenever one business goes
   bust some opposing business rakes it in. When you find
   what is going down, you should be able to tell what will
   be going up.

4. There are several areas that have a limited window of
   opportunity. While they may not offer a lifelong career,
   during that time frame the ability to profit is very
   real. For example: the current generation is being raised
   on PCs and Palm Pilots, but there is (and will be for
   perhaps 10 years) a large market for helping and training
   those who are "Newbies" to much of the technologies.
   Also: the largest segment of our USA society is zooming
   past the age of 50. They do & will have many needs, and
   will pay to fulfill them.

5. If you must work for someone else try sales. Why? Few of
   us want to be salespeople for whatever reason. What that
   translates to? For the person who is willing to learn the
   skills, take the nos, find a product or service they like
   & believe in and work hard for a couple of years....well,
   they can practically write their own ticket.

6. Use the huge base of people on the web to your advantage.
   There are so very many people on the Internet now that
   there exists a market for ANYTHING. One example is E-Bay.
   After all, 'One man's trash is another man's treasure.'
   Even better is the concept of "niche marketing." There
   are things (hobbies or trades) that you know a lot about
   no matter who you are or where you are in life. Odds are
   there are plenty of folks online who would pay a few
   bucks to have that info.

7. Pick an affiliate program in which you like & believe in
   the product or service. Make sure that it is honestly run
   and pays AT LEAST 30% per sale. Now, become an expert at
   promotion. It has been my experience that well written ad
   copy in targeted publications and using Top or Solo ads
   will return 2 to 1 on your advertising expenses.

8. Learn a new skill. Just because we get out of formal
   schooling should not stop us from wanting to learn. In an
   ever more rapidly changing world an unwillingness to
   learn is suicidal.

9. Get out of debt and increase the amount you save.
   Compound interest is an amazing thing. If you are paying
   it - it can bankrupt you, if you are earning it - it can
   make you a millionaire in time for your retirement.

10 Take an hour or so away from distractions with a pad and
   pen. Follow what Dr. Robert Schuller writes about in
   several of his books including "Possibility Thinking."
   Take your paper and write down 100 ways to succeed while
   others are failing. Brainstorm it! Let your mind flow and
   you will come up with many viable ideas.

Whatever you do - don't 'settle for' and be one of those
that a year from now is sitting around saying 'if only I'd
done....'
