Skeptical about entrepreneurial business ventures?

You're definitely not alone. I was, too, up until very recently.

Back in April, my husband signed up for this thing called "My Internet Business". I politely listened to him as he talked all about it and how wonderful it was. I then proceeded to (not so politely) argue about how these 'make money quick' businesses are phony and only ever make the creator wealthy.

For months I have been in denial, but have finally admitted I was completely wrong. My husband pulled up his accounts the other day and showed me just how much money he has made through both the MyInternet Business and Passport to Wealth business opportunities.

After I picked my jaw up from the floor, I decided that this would be the perfect way for me, a young mother with virtually no work experience, to help contribute financially to my family!

Wellll...I had good intentions. I started sending my toddler son to preschool so that I could begin working from home on a full-time basis. Instead of seriously pursuing this business opportunity, I dilly dallied throughout the day. "Oops, honey! I'll spend some time tomorrow working, I promise!"

Fast forward to Tuesday night. We were in Atlanta eating dinner with my brother. He, like my husband, is an entrepreneur. After I saw my brother's fabulous new condo (equipped with the best furniture and technology!) and listened to them both talk on and on about how entrepreneurial business ventures really can and DO work, I decided that I really would commit my time to Internet marketing.

This stuff is real! For some reason, I had a horrible attitude about these online business opportunities, but it really does work if you work! Now for the reality check. We are not making $30,000 per month with My Internet Business. I realize now that we can, in time. So far, we've done very well...well enough that my husband can support a family of three, pay down two mortgages, two car loans, etc...all on his own!

Now I am a believer. It's time to make some money, and I couldn't be more excited!!
