When starting a new work at home business it is very easy to become consumed by it. We spend so much time trying to get the business up and running that we may end up becoming burned out and lose our motivation.

I can't remember a day since I first logged on to the Internet that Ihaven't been approached by someone claiming they can make allmy dreams come true through Internet Marketing.At first I said, yeah right, but the offers just kept coming andcoming and coming until finally I said..."Honey, could you pass the milk?"Well, I wasn't thinking out loud at the dinner table, I was keeping itto myself. What I was thinking, however, was this.If all those idiots sending me offers are claiming they can makemoney on the Internet, then there has to be at least a few peoplethat actually have made money inspiring them, right?So I looked, and there was!Yes, upon looking I did actually find proof of real, live, peoplemaking money selling products and information over the Internet.Cool, I thought. If they can do it, then I can, too!Upon realizing this, I then made the STUPID mistake of followingthe direction of the inspired idiots instead of the real marketers thatwere actually making money.Why, you say?Simple.The inspired idiot's stuff was free and the real marketer's stuff costmoney. (That right there ought to have taught me something!)So, with zest, zip, vim, and vigor, off I went raving about like a trueinspired idiot!And guess what?! All of the other inspired idiot's promises cametrue!I made a six figure income! ($0000.00 has six figures, you know)I fired my boss! (and my paycheck!)I was working from home! (heck, I did everything from home. Icouldn't afford to leave the house.)I was my own boss! (my wife quit speaking to me)I had a residual income! (what better word for the change scrapedout of the depths of the furniture than 'residual')I was an Internet Marketer on the inspired idiot's path to glory andnothing could stop my drive towards success! (until the bankrepossessed my pick-up that is)Then, suddenly, with an even stronger thirst to succeed I said..."Honey, could you pass the milk...? Never mind, there isn't any.Honey? Honey? Darn, I could have sworn I was married."But it mattered not because I had work to do! I had to spendcountless hours reading other inspired idiot's email. I had to sendmy own email back for other inspired idiot's to read. Plus, I had toblast ads to the free classified and free for all sites that no one, noteven me, ever visited.Why? Because I was inspired!And for no other reason whatsoever at all!Until...That fateful day arrived when suddenly it hit me.WHAP!!!"Here's your stinkin' milk. And you can thank the state forthe food stamps, too."Hmmm. Could something be wrong here? Could something notquite be going according to plan?Wait, wait, I think I've got it.I'M NOT MAKING ANY MONEY!!!But.. But.. I'm inspired! What more is there to do?!"Ah-ha," I said.I've got the inspiration, true, but why am I following around allthese other inspired idiots instead of the real marketers that areactually making money!I had bought into the excitement instead of the truth. I sought therewards before I created the system. I had joined the countlessmasses instead of looking to the counting -- money that is -- fewthat had inspired them!Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh...."Why are you smacking yourself on the head?" I was suddenlyasked."Go back to sleep, dear. It's just an Internet thing."Well, ok, that was a bit of an exaggeration, but there is a point toall of this. There are many, and I do mean many, who want to earna living selling information on how to market online.That's great, but don't you think we should get our information, andinspiration, from those that actually HAVE sold things online?I really wasn't all that stupid when I first got online, it's just thatthere is SO much out there to be confused about. That is, IF youlet yourself.While the Internet is mind boggling because of the numbers it canproduce, common sense still abounds. Maybe not in it's inspiredidiots, but definitely in it's actual workings.Things happen faster, but many of the basic rules are still the same.*People only pay for what they perceive to be beneficial.*Only those selling the beneficial products will make the money.*Trust and confidence still play an important role in buyer's minds.*If no one knows who you are, where you are, or what you selling,you won't have any customers!Duh, duh, duh, duh, duh....Take it from a recovering inspired idiot. Please, be careful whoyou learn from. Article Tags: Other Inspired Idiot's, Inspired Idiot's, Other Inspired
