The Difference between an Internet Home Business and an Internet Home Hobby
One day I should sit down and figure out exactly how many Internet Home Businesses I have worked with over the years. I usually throw out the figure of 20,000, knowing that is too low. I guess it really does not matter, there have been a lot. The real significance is this, the larger the pool of people I can draw from, the greater the relevancy of what I have to say, at least that is the hope. Internet Home Business owners fall into two categories, those that have a real business and those that have what I call hobby businesses. Strap in, some people are about to get offended.
Interacting with 20,000 plus Internet Home Business owners has taught me that people like the concept of being in business more than the actual business itself. Let me explain. People have been led to believe that the way to get ahead and to make money, in some cases huge amounts of money, is to start and operate an Internet Home Business. Fair enough, lets forget for a moment about the scams and just outright lies that are out there about 99% of these offers, lets just look at the people who want to better themselves and to make some extra money.
They get involved in a business opportunity and then what happens next is what separates the real business people from the hobbyists. They start the business, they put up a web site of some description, maybe, and then they wait and wait and then wait some more, they are waiting for the business to some how miraculously appear, it never does. There is a disconect between the start of the business and then the actuall commencement of the business. This is where the reality and perception meet. The perception of what people think an Internet Home Business is and what the business actually is.
The Perception What do people think is involved in operating and running an Internet Home Business and what actually is needed to be successful are two vastly different things. The Internet has bastardized what is involved in running any kind of business to the point that it is not even recognizable anymore. It is really a crime that these parasites are out there, and that people are misled as badly as they are. The claims, the promises, the testimonials about what someone will be able to obtain, always with no skills, no training, no effort, and especially doing nothing even remotely resembling work, are not based in anything remotely reasonable. They are just scammers without any moral compass what so ever.
It is within this frame work that people look at what they will have to do, nothing, and what they will receive, wealth, happiness, freedom, all with in a matter of days, perhaps in a week at the latest. It is really hard to tell what people really think, deep down in side, do they really believe the hype, the ads, the testimonials?, they must, MILLIONS of people sign up and potentially start these Internet Home Business Opportunities, so there is a market out there for this garbage.
Okay, we all know what we are talking about here, we are talking about what people THINK they are signing up for. An Internet Home Business that requires no work, no skills, no effort and no time to invest, in return, you get untold wealth, freedom,can quit your job and buy that Mercedes, all within a matter of a few short weeks. I think we all get the picture.
The Reality
Time for a wake up call. When reality rears its ugly head, it separates the hobbyists from the people who are prepared to do what is necessary to make their Internet Home Businesses succeed. This is where this post takes a turn. There are now two dynamics at play here, people who are not going to be successful, regardless of what Internet Home Business they are involved in, scam ot legitimate business it does not matter, they are going to fail because they are not prepared to put in the time, effort and work to make, it they are goners from the get go.
Then there is the other group, albeit a much much smaller group who will sacrifice, work and dedicate themselves to being successful, it is this group that has another hurdle to over come. What do they do if they picked a scam and not a business that will give them a chance to have a legitimate shot at being successful? www.hhhmakemoneyonline.com, will give you that chance.
I rambled a bit on this one. My point is this, nothing wrong with having an Internet Home Business and not making as much money from it as you wanted, as long as you are okay with that. Nothing wrong with having a business that is a hobby, something that does not make money but makes you happy and fulfills a need for you. You have to decide if you are happy with what you have and that you can live with the consequences. Its your business and its your life, you are always the ultimate judge.
