Spinning on the "Net"

Perhaps you too have been "spinning on the Net." If you have been looking to create an internet business then it is very likely that you have had that "spinning" sensation.

I began my internet journey in 1998 when the internet was very new. I was so excited and totally convinced that this was the wave of the future. I knew I just had to be a part of it. I diligently looked for internet opportunities, devoured everything I could about website building, learned about writing copy, discovered how to use autoresponders, the list goes on. I signed up for every new and "better" program that came out. Attended seminars put on by the current "gurus" of the internet. Of course, they were just learning too.

What I discovered was that I was very good at developing creative marketing ideas that were well beyond the technology. I had my clients thinking about how great it would be to personalize the internet experience for their customers long before they were convinced that they needed a website. It was crazy!!

I continued my struggle to internet business success but the models were always changing. In addition, I suffered from "girl/woman interruptous" meaning that although my mind and heart wanted to go down this path, my family situation was wrapped up in raising four rambunctious children and that seemed to be all I could handle at the time.

Now it's 2008. My children are leading their own lives. My mind and time are my own. And, amazingly, the internet technology has become what I envisioned ten years ago. I find that I am still dazzled by what the internet has to offer. Yes, I still "spin" sometimes with all of the different "opportunities" out there. The difference is that I have discovered ways to stay focused on the goal and little-by-little am re-discovering my passion for the "Net."

During the next few weeks I will be sharing with you what has worked and what is possible for you on the "Net." So, stay tuned.
