"Stuck in Neutral? One Single Step Will Change Your Life Forever..." By Jim Daniels

As most of my subscribers realize, I teach folks how to
start and grow a business on the Internet. My books and
software streamline and simplify all the tasks necessary to
earn a steadily increasing income online.

But there is a step I rarely discuss -- a single step
everyone must take before they can earn serious profits
from any business. I like to call it shifting into First
Gear. And today I'm going to show you exactly what this
means, and why you must take this step.

We all know that every successful Internet venture requires
things like a website, email marketing and search engine
optimization. But before all those important steps can be
put into place, something has to happen INSIDE OF YOU
first.

In some people it just happens. You transform from a person
who is programmed to work hard, in most cases as an
employee -- into a person who works smart -- inspired to be
creative, and self-employed.

That, ladies and gentlemen, is First Gear. Once you've
achieved it, you're on your way.

Stay with me for a moment, this is very important...

Unfortunately, most folks never get out of neutral. Yes,
some people are more than happy to stay there indefinitely.
That's because neutral can be comfortable. After all, there
are very few risks or changes when you're not moving
forward.

Here's what Neutral feel like...

1. Getting up early every morning in most cases, with the
aid of an alarm clock.

2. Going through your morning routine, striving to get to
work on time.

3. Stopping for a cup of coffee on the way to work and
thinking about, or in many cases, dreading your upcoming
day.

4. Doing what you're told or what's expected of you for
eight or so hours until the clock hits quitting time.

5. Going home and settling in for some TV time before you
go to sleep, so you can wake up and do it all over again.

Sounds a bit mundane, perhaps even boring, eh?

Believe me, it can be if you let it. I know, because I was
stuck in neutral until the ripe old age of 32. Neutral was
all I knew. That is, until I answered a classified ad from
a magazine and was introduced to the world of
self-employment. Although the ad did not turn out to be my
answer, my action was. Yes, that day something woke up in
me and I shifted into first gear.

Here's what first gear felt like to me...

1. Getting up early every morning and writing down an idea
or two about how to become self-employed.

2. Recording my new ideas on my audio cassette recorder on
the way to work.

3. Putting in maximum effort at work until the clock hit
quitting time, just to test my ambition and drive.

4. Recording more ideas and chapter headings for my first
how-to book all the way home.

5. Trading my nightly TV time for 3-4 hours on the computer
researching niches, entering my ideas and creating my
projects.

Now, wouldn't you agree that's not too different than
neutral? I mean, I did not quit my job (at least not until
my new income source surpassed that of my 9-5) and I still
had lots of time to do what I wanted. I simply motivated my
brain to be more creative and use my time more wisely.

A better way to look at it like this...

(More after this important message.)

I took a step in the right direction. I had no idea it
would lead me to an income of more than $200,000 a year and
hours shorter than a banker.

Actually, today I like to think of my current gear as
"still upshifting", but now I'm in 3rd or 4th gear. I get
up without the help of an alarm clock. I see the kids off
to school. Weather permitting, I take a bike ride with my
wife. (As a matter of fact, I just came back from a ride as
I write this.) Then I take an hour or so and work on a
thing or two in my new home in the country. Finally, when
I feel like it I work a few hours on the computer. Then have
lunch with my son when he comes home from kindergarten.
I do a few more hours of work in the afternoon then horse
around in the yard with my kids.

It's a lifestyle I never dreamed I'd achieve when I was
stuck in neutral. But it happened because IN ONE
MOMENT I made the conscious decision to shift out
of neutral into first gear.

And that folks, is the step that most people never take.

So today I want you to answer just one question... are
you stuck in neutral?

OK, let's wrap today's lesson up...

No matter which guy you choose to listen to, or both, the
main thing is that you take that first step in the right
direction -- first gear.

That's the key to success - taking the first step and
getting started. So choose a link above and do it today.

I wish you lots of success and see a relaxing, rewarding
lifestyle in your future.
