Fear can be a great motivator
Real inetrnet income, home based business, residual income

Hello,

Did you know that as many as 85% of Americans would love to earn money
from home. So, what are the reasons why most don´t go for it?

1. High $$ investment
2. Too much time required
3. High risk
4. They don’t have a clue how to get started.
5. Fear

Ever since I was a child, my parents had always instilled in me to get a good
education. Find a good company to work for and stay there until I retire.
I´ve always wanted to have my own business, but fear is what kept me
from doing so. My parents would say you don´t have the money to start your
own business. Work for a reputable company and that will give you job security.
It was this type of programming that lead me to believe that working for someone
else was the only way to go. My mom was a nurse and my step dad worked at a
government contracting firm that made radars and tracking device parts for
the military.
Both of my parents worked very hard and spent most of their time working
and not really having the chance to enjoy life the way they should. My step
dad got me my first job and it paid very well, but I was not really happy
with it. I stayed with this job for four years and then decided it was enough.
I wanted to do something more with my life, then working for a high security
Government company. My step father thought I was nuts to leave them, he
asked what are you going to do now that you have thrown your future away.
I replied to him saying I´m going to Europe. Ever since I was young I dreamed
of living in another country without having to be in the military.
To make a long story short, it was my time in Germany that really made me
realize that I wanted to be my own boss. I injured my back and had three operations.
I was out of work for three years, because during the first back operation a nerve was
damaged in my right leg and I had constant pain. I knew that I would not be able to
hold on to a normal job again. I decided to look for a way to start a home based
business. That was unfortunately easier said than done. I went through dozens
of Internet based jobs before the right one came along. I lost a lot of money with
other online jobs and was afraid that the next business venture would be the same.
I went for it anyway and I found Happiness. It is hard work having your
own business and I have made many mistakes along the way, but the rewards of
having your future controlled by you and not by someone else is truly a gift.
So, if your contemplating on whether or not if a home based business is for you,
stop contemplating. You have nothing to fear, but fear itself.

Thank you, Paul, for sharing your story. Fear of the unknown holds so many people back from doing what they'd like to be doing. Living with regret is hard. I'd rather try something and see if it's for me rather wondering "what if" for the rest of my life.

During WWII the President of the US said it best, "We have nothing to fear but fear itself."
 
Jason Yost   293 day(s) ago
Paul, this is a great blog. This is how I started, working long hours and doing nothing but work. After awhile I woke up to the possibilities but not until I had to worry about the needs of my family. Now, my wife and I own two businesses and are investing in other ventures next year. A lot of truth in your words here, my friend.

Great one Paul, that sounds like to story of most parents, all work and no play and it's just so sad. Our success depends on our drive. Have a great weekend and GO IBO
 
Jack Albright   293 day(s) ago
Great blog Paul. We were all pretty much programmed to do the exact same thing Paul. Those times have changed because in the world we live in now, working for yourself is actually the safer route. People are learning that these corporations really don't care about people, just the bottom line. Thanks for sharing and continued success to you my friend.

I spent 4 years in Germany, in the Army. I loved it and I wound up bringing one of their citizens home. That marriage lasted 16 violent years. I then worked for 2 years in Mexico and i would up bringing one of them home too. Mexicans are much easier to get along with that German ladies. We lived in the U.S. while I was working but when I retired we moved to Mexico so I do understand the attraction.

Great article you have it on blog. There are people that do not like to change and fear something they might regret it if they do it. Got to take a leap of faith to hope for the better future.... Thanks for sharing, Paul! : )
 
Shan Ziel   294 day(s) ago
Wasn't it really hope and not fear that gave you the motivation to start a biz? I think hope trumps fear in the long term.
 
Shan Ziel   294 day(s) ago
Think over all fear is a bad motivator but agree with what I think your trying to say.
