excellent Melanie, eWealth is changing more and more lives

[melanied]

there were many factors that contributed to the growth of my business, but ewealth absolutely is the main component.

truthfully, even though i've gotten some great information from the boards, information is not the most valuable thing i've gotten from here - that would be an opportunity to glimpse the thought process of highly successful people.

early last summer, i decided to read through every thread on the board in order to get to know the personalities on the board and mentally separate who on here was actually successful and doing it and who was just a surfer/poster. i narrowed it down to a list of about ten people who seemed to have reputations on the board for being successful and well-respected. then i started following those peoples' comments on the board to get a glimpse into how they approached business ventures and what their perspectives were.

the main thing i noticed that was true about them that was VERY different from how i approached things was that they A) trusted their own ideas and B) did not hesitate in implementing them.

when i stopped trying to follow other people's programs and starting emulating the success principal i picked up here of trusting my OWN ideas and trying them, that's when i started making real money.

i know it may seem like an exceedingly obvious thing that i should have known already, haha, but it's a BIG principal i learned, it absolutely changed my life, and ewealth is where i learned it...so THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

[gwaring]

You should some day write up the details of your success and market it to us, or share it freely

[wishmaster22]

I would love to know what your daily method is. Such as are you doing the adwords / landing page thing.

[melanied]

i'm doing a lot of different things - mostly article marketing and adsense mini-sites.

Hey Congratulations melanied, Enjoy your life.

oh, i just wanted to add that there is another element that contributed a lot to to my succeeding (relatively) quickly...i never slept. from the time i decided i was really going to do this (last april) till the day i was making a living at it, i didn't sleep more than 3 or 4 hours a night, and lots of nights only an hour and a half or two hours. i just worked like a FIEND and wouldn't let myself slow down. maybe that was a crazy way to do it, but i found that i HAD to be that obsessed, it was what drove me.

for instance, one of my goals is to have my debts ALL paid off (including student loans) (not cheap...pepperdine, holla. lol) and buy a bmw 3 series with cash. the car i drive right now is a nissan sentra, and the air conditioning, the cigarette lighter (AKA...cell phone charger :P), cd player, and side mirror are all busted. i have enough money to get them fixed now, but i won't. i don't want it to be too comfortable for me to not have met my goal yet. every time i get in that car, i WANT to hate how hot it is and the fact that i can't listen to cds. i WANT to be embarrassed when people ask what happened to my mirror. i WANT to be uncomfortable until i reach my goal.

i know it sounds crazy, but it works for me. it also kind of makes me laugh to myself when my friends tell me how "lucky" i am to not have to go to a traditional job. they have no idea the sacrifices i made to be this "lucky." lol.

[ewealthy]

What ever you do, never give up. You have a great work attitude, no doubt a year from you would be in that BMW. Keep the nissan though to remind where you came from.

Hi melanied, HEALTH IS ALSO WEALTH.

So you also need to take care of yourself.

[melanied]

oh, believe me, now that i'm not spending 13-14 hours a day at my job (i'm counting the commute in that total, because i considered that part of my job...lol) i'm getting LOTS of rest and having LOTS of fun. :P

[super]

looks like you are successful, good luck in future

[Idea Guy]

Congrats to you melanied
