I was surprised at all the things that have to be done to start an online business. I thought I could make a website, sell products and be done with it. Boy was I wrong!! I'm glad that I had not started the process before reading the information here!! Thank you Steve for putting all of this together. I am sure that you have saved a lot of people a lot of time and effort. I do wonder tho, do all of the rules and regulations apply if you are an affilate or if I wanted to do something like http://www.storeb2b.com/ ? Again, thank you for your time and effort!

I'll have to time to write about motivation and money after this small business guide is done. Hey Jahnelle,
I feel a blog post coming on about just what you brought up. I’ll have to time to write about motivation and money after this small business guide is done.

I'm glad you like Level343, although it's not all mine. I'm a working partner and quite proud of it. :) As for wanting money, it's definitely not the best motivator. In my experience with hiring individuals, those that just want money are the ones that disappear after the first paycheck. Owning your own business (or running one, even), takes a lot of work as I'm sure you know, and, like you said, money isn't a big enough thing to push yourself over the humps. I've even noticed that the times I start worrying about money, things start to slip. It may sound odd, but it seems that money is part of the "small stuff" that you shouldn't sweat if you want to be successful. Thoughts? You’re most welcome, Steve.

It always brightens my day to hear a success story like yours. You are right, it is all about finding that one thing that motivates you. In most cases, just wanting money is not enough. Something greater is needed to get most people over the hump. Is level343 your business? Your site looks fantastic. Wow Jahnelle, thanks for the comment!

You have some fantastic points in here. It seems to me that if you look back through the lives of most business owners, you'd find that "thing" that motivates them. Mine is the same as yours. In my mind, children are the best motivators out there. I was unable to find a job, had a newborn and couldn't work the hours necessary to keep a job even if I could find one, and only had one major skill - I could write. It's amazing what you can come up with when fear of not being able to provide comes into the picture. Two years later, although I'm not at the level I want to be (yet), I'm making enough to take care of the necessities and a little bit more, and business is steady and growing. I've gained more skills than I ever thought possible (some even highly technical!) and have been able to put it all to work. To all those reading Steve's blog, it's definitely possible to take something that YOU might think is nothing and turn it into something great! All you have to do is pick your feet up, get started and don't let small stuff get in the way. Great post, Steve! Thanks for sharing! Hi Steve -

Sometimes I just have to think about what I am going to do in the future? 1 year, 5 years or 10 years. Not just myself, also what kind of things I can provide to my children. I always have some "great ideas", and probably I should start to put a couple of them into action. Thanks for sharing your experience, it's great! Very good post, you said what exactly in my mind.

Fantastic post! I could REALLY relate to this cos' I'm probably one of the laziest persons you would ever meet! I absolutely agree with you that <i>"Even the laziest people in the world have something that motivates them and it’s just a matter of finding out what it is."</i> You're spot on with this! Coincidentally, I've written an article back in Nov '08 where I explained how I overcame my laziness to start working toward my goals. The general idea was that I managed to find what I'm passionate about and I'd rather get off my ass to work than glue my eyeballs to the TV. Feel free to take a quick read if you're interested to find out how another lazy bum self-motivate himself to work. <a href="http://www.thebigdreamer.com/whats-your-success-idea" rel="nofollow">What's Your Success Idea?</a> Hope you enjoy the read. :) Cheers~ Mark Hi Steve!
