Hey Guys,

Just wanted to share my online success to motivate you.

My husband and I are currently running a successful internet
biz and have been bringing in consistently 5 figures each month.

All of this has happened over the last 2 years. In March of 06
I was in college to become a teacher, my husband was a "burger
flipper" at Wendy's and we had a 3 year old son.

We worked our tails off, ran a tight budget and still had probs making
ends meet. We literally worked paycheck to paycheck withonly a couple
bucks left over before the next paycheck came in... I'm sure some of
you have been there or are there.

Well, in January of 06 my husband was extremely brave and quit his
day job to "Work from home" not sure what he was going to do, but
didnt want to work fast food any longer. Though determined to be
successfull things didnt really work out as planned... we went the next 5 months with absolutely no income on his end. Things were more tight than they ever were... we had to borrow from parents, I worked side tutoring jobs, and he did odd jobs here and there.

I know at this point most people would have given up and went back to get
a "real job" but i believed he could do it and knew that if we just made it
a little longer we could find the success he planned on when he quit his job.

Well during that 5 month lapse of income from my husband we started to test and try different money making techniques and found which were working and which completely failed. When I graduated in May of 06 we moved in with his parents to get back on our feet and give ourselves a small break from eating grilled cheese and ramen noodles every week.

I started teaching (which covered the bills) and my husband could focus without stress on building our online business. After just 4 months of living with his parents (December of 06) we started to see more and more income from our web business. Things were looking up. We planned on moving out after the new year with the tax returns and then conitnue to grow our business.

Well... February hit and my husband picked my up from work one day and said "Chaunna, we need to talk" I dont know if you have a spouse but when something like that comes up its BIG... really BIG. That night my husband took me out to dinner and told me that he applied for an internship that would really boost his knowledge and our business. He told me how much he would learn, who would be teaching him, how credible he was... and then I asked where is it? and how long is it?

He replied with, at least 30 days and it's in Boise, ID (we lived in florida).
OUCH... NO WAY!?!? I'd have to spend 30 days with out him, as a one parent house hold, while still living with my inlaws! Oh brother!

After a little more persuading and rethinking, we ended up using our taxes to set him up for the internship in Boise and planning how to make my live simple while he was gone.

During that 30 day internship, my husband soaked in every profitable technique and applied it to our business. By the time he got back home, the income from our online biz had tripled. I have to say I wasnt that happy about him being gone for 30 days, but I was definitely glad that our web business was now brining in 2-3 times more than my teaching salary.

Since his internship in March of 07 we had our first $5,000 week, $15,000 weeks, and we're still growing! We've moved our family to Boise, ID. traveled across the US last summer, and have partnered another online business with Russell Brunson (who he did the internship with) and now bring in 5 figures each month and teach others to do the same.

I didn't just share the success story to tell you how we did it, but to motivate you to take action. So many people pray for good things to happen, but the only way a change can happen is if you are actively taking steps towards your goal. If my husband hadnt quit his job, we'd probably still be living the same cycle and still not achieving our dreams to travel the world, drive a hummer, eat anywhere - whenever.

In addition to taking steps towards your goal, is to find a mentor.
We may have eventually found success with out Russell, but since we had one we were able to skip over the mistakes he made, apply his teachings and find success even faster. I highly suggest finding a mentor and applying their teachings (but please , please dont try to get multiple mentors and then negate their teachings).

There's a poster I used to have in my classroom and it applies here.. It stated "Surround yourself with those who you want to be"

In class, if you wanted ot be a good reader, you'd hang out with good readers and do what they do. In the online biz world, surround yourself with successful online business owners and you'll find yourself reaching your goals faster.

Wishing you the best in your endeavors... remember take action so that change can happen and surround your self with people you want to be.

Your story is really impressive. My husband was also a "buger flipper" and I can really relate to having to count your pennies each month. We too ended up living at my in-laws and that is a real eye opener. At that point it really comes down to make it or let it go. I'm glad to hear things are going well for you. Keep up the good work!
