There are several reasons to start an online business.

·   You hate your job or boss.
·   You want to make more money.
·   You want to spend more time with loved ones.
·   You want more freedom.
·   You love the Internet.

If you are like me, it's likely all of the above reasons you are considering an online business. If you have been considering an online business, you probably get overwhelmed by the amount of information. You may even be a little suspect of the many offers out there. I don't blame you. Imagine it the number of email offers as well as teleseminars represented the number of people at you door, you could not get to your car!

I believe the best way to achieve success online is to build confidence and momentum by gaining small steps of accomplishment.  I'm sure that you have seen claims of making $10,000 in a week or something similar. Sure it is possible, but not likely next week. To get to that mark, you will need to make $10, then $100, and then $1000 a week.
