Not yet. But I hope so. I just proved that make money online is real - we can really earn income from the internet. But it's still a long long way to rely my main income on online business.
At this point, I think I could definitely do it full-time, but have other things happening ... but it's definitely possible. Takes a lot of worth, but well worth it! Start part-time, keep another full-time job ... and just work hard.
To make it you, have to work hard. Don't fall for all these "get rick quick" gimmicks out there. Part-Time may mean you have to work it in the morning, do emails and work during lunch hour, and work in the evenings after the family has gone to bed. If you're single, you've got that much more time to invest before/after your regular job.
It can be done!
At the minute I would hope it would be something that I could do. The hardest part for me is staying focused and not getting sidetracked by other diversions - I need to find an area and fully explore the potential before dropping it and trying something else. I think that if I can curb my short attention span then it may just be possible.
At the end of the day - if someone else has done it then it proves that it can be done. You just have to find the right biz for you. I also know too many people who have wanted to have an online business but then became work shy when it came to learning new skills or actually getting on and doing some work. With a bit of persistance and dedication - and possibly the right support, I believe that anyone can do it, but you really, really have to work at it.
Charmed,
Great feedback - there is an incredible book I just completed by Seth Godin called "The Dip" - it speaks to this very thing, pressing through the "dip" when the initial "new" and "excitement" wears out - you can grab that book on Amazon, it's a really short book, but will challenge you in that area!
Thanks for that e-bo, I've just picked up a bargain used copy of it up from Amazon and so hopefully it will be just the thing to help me change my ways!
