The University of MyInternetBusiness (Part 2)
$100,000 of Debt for a $60,000 Per Year Job???
[Note: This post is a continuation of yesterday's post; so it will make more sense if you read it first.]
My oldest sister was a hairstylist (cosmetologist?) for over 20 years before she decided to become a Psychologist. (After all, she had been dishing out psychological evaluations for years in the salon, so why not! 
) Back to school she went . . . and went . . . and went (while working and raising kids as a single mom!) Finally 10+ years later she can write that impressive “Dr.” in front of her name! But here’s the thing . . . especially when you throw in the incurred debt of school loans, etc. she actually made more money as a hot-shot hairstylist!
Where am I going with this and what does it have to do with Internet Marketing or making money online?
I find it interesting that people will turn to the Internet to start a business and they’ll fork out anywhere form $39.95 to three grand and expect to retire in the next few months. (And why not? They’re committed to working an hour or so every few days . . . or so.) ;)
Uh uh. It doesn’t work that way out there in the “real” world offline, why should it work that way when you’re working on the Internet? Okay, part of the problem is that online businesses are typically marketed with the slant that there is apparently no work involved and you can “get rich virtually overnight!” Blah blah blah.
The reality is, a properly structured Internet business such as MyInternetBusiness can out-perform just about anything out there offline, and you can achieve some rapid results (I experienced that myself!), but please let your common sense guide you: It took a lot of work!
But here’s the thing: Let’s say you bought into a Top-Tier Business Program like MyInternetBusiness. And because you were committed to learning everything and anything you could about business on the Internet, you—sometimes very stupidly :/ —purchased just about anything and everything that a so-called Internet “Guru” threw your way. If you worked real hard at it, you could rack up ten to twenty thousand dollar bill (or so). Ouch! That could be painful.
But let’s take a step back and do some comparisons.
If you were actually learning from and implementing all those courses, etc. that you bought, after a year you would have to be getting fairly knowledgeable about Internet Marketing, wouldn’t you think? Maybe not an expert, but certainly you would have developed some expertise on the subject. So on the down-side you’ve racked up—let’s say on the very high side—$20K in debt investing in your education as well as necessary business tools. (I must emphasise that this would be a worst-case scenario where you bought just about everything you could that you thought would help you in your business!) On the upside, you’ve become educated in Internet Marketing.
What’s the financial “up-side” of becoming a knowledgeable Internet Marketer? You could expect to earn $250,000 on up to a multiple seven figure incomes!
Now let’s look at getting an advanced degree . . . like, let’s say . . . a psychology from a well-respected University.
$100,000 in student loans; 10+ years out of your life: Result=a job. A job that pays more than most jobs. $60K-$80K (maybe more depending upon your market, focus, & how long you’ve been at it). But in the end it is still a job where you have to trade hours for dollars. (And you have to spend your days listening to people’s tragic stories!!) [My sister spent part of here residency working in prisons with sex-offenders!]
Bottom Line: The rewards for taking the time to struggle through the initial learning stages to become a successfull Professional Internet Marketer, even if along the way you spent WAY TOO MUCH money for the tools and education than you needed to actually accomplish this, you’d still be in a much better financial situation than your psychologist friend.
So, if you’re looking to get into Internet marketing, or you’ve been at it awhile and are still struggling—but you are learning new skills and growing, just think of yourself as enrolling (or enrolled) in the most prestigious university in the World! Why? Because no other university out there will teach you specifically how to become as wealthy—not just in regards to income, but also in Time Freedom!
That’s why I like to call it The University of MyInternetBusiness. Within our system and support training, you can learn your “mega-advanced-degree” in Internet Marketing and once you’ve “graduated” the World-Wide-Web becomes your “oyster” . . . or Internet Cash Machine.
