I hope 2009 was a good year for everyone.  I know some of you like myself 2009 was a challenge.  It started out to be the worst year ever and ended up being one of the best years I have ever had.  It was not the best finacially but I learned so much that I feel that no matter what happens in the future I will be able to make money and pay my bills.  2010 is going to an Awesome year I know that I will still have challenges but I also know I have the mind set now that can get me through anything.  I am on my way to meeting all of my goals and will now have to set new ones.  In the coming year I believe that with all the hard work and hours I have put in, I will achieve more than I can imagine.  For those of you that have been following me thank you I really aperciate each and everyone of you.  I don't think that I could have made it this far without hearing that others are listening and that they understand me.  I know how hard it can be to try to convince other to try to do something to make money  when you are not making money or barely making any money.  That is why I like the types of programs that I have on my site you don't have to tell a single person about them and you will still make money.  After you are making money it is a whole lot easier to get others to listen and join.  We all know that we want join a program with someone that has had success with the venture that we are trying to get going.  I have joined tons of programs just because the offer on the was too good to pass up only to be disappointed because I couldn't recruit.  With the revshare and passive income sites that are available here on www.EarnWithJames.net you can make money first, then tell others, and that makes recruiting a lot easier.  People always want the assurance that they have someone that can help them because they have been there and done that.  I am not going to tell you that I have it all figured out and that I am a Guru because I'm not.  I'm just an ordinary guy that searched and searched, and still have a lot to learn.  But while I'm learning I have found ways to make money.  As time goes by I discover more and more about myself and in the process I hope to help others see that you don't have to be a "Guru"  to make money online you just have to find a way that allows you the ability to earn an learn.  You can do the same and most of the site listed here are FREE to join so you can see for yourself that this can work for you.  Just join the program of your choice learn as much as you can about the program.  When your are comfortable put a little money in and you're set. You can make money without telling a single sole.  This is why I know that 2010 I going to be a Great year.
 
I would like to wish everyone happy holidays.  I really look forward to a great year in 2010.  If the new year is any thing like 2009 I believe that I will reach all the goals that I have set for the next 12 months.  I will be updating and revising my site as time goes on.  I have truly learned a tone of great things this past year and hope to learn a great deal more.  I feel that me getting laid off was the best thing that could have happened to me because I was able to just go for what I wanted to achieve.  I do wish that I could have had this drive and focus while I was working only because I would of had a little more money to work with.  But I also now know that when thing are going "Good" I get very complacent and tend to be more lacked.  When I lost my job I had to take the next step because I had to nobody was going to do it for me I had to get rid of the employee mentality and start thinking like the owner.  In this economy  you have to find multiple streams of income because you never know when one of them will dry up.  Well enough preaching for today I just want to wish everyone happy holiday and happy new year.
 
Today I will go a little bit deeper in to changing your mind set.   I know some of you out there have tried to start a business in the past and the business failed.  I myself have started lots of business to only have them fail.  I have even tried to sale perfume and cologne. I quit the job that I had and started to try to sale perfume and cologne and all I made was $12 in two weeks.  I got lured in by the hype and the fact that I was tired of my job.  I didn't have the right mind set to sale those thing at that time, there were other that were making $50-$100 a day the same time that I made $12 in two weeks.  I had the mentality of and employee not an entrepreneur.  All I was thinking about was having money at the end of the week.  I never thought about how hard it was going to be,  and I don't mean physically but mentally challenging.  I thought it was going to be easy as pie.  I never really thought out what I was doing, I just saw $$$.  I ended up begging to get my old job back luckily I did.  My next venture I was going to  sale electronics online.  This time I took a couple of months to think about the cost and how I was  get this new business off the ground.  So after running the numbers and not quitting my job this time,  I started my new business this time I was making money but my mindset was still all wrong.  I took all of the money I made and put it back into the business and guess what happened my sales started to fall off and I had no money to offset the loss of sales so I closed up shop.  I was beginning to think that I was never going to reach my dreams.  I decided to that I was just going to stay at my current job and work towards getting my own store.  I went through all the the training classes the company offered got every promotion that I could.  All I would have to do now was come up with $25K and wait my turn to run a store for 9-18 months.  Now that doesn't seem like a lot of money or a long time to wait.  But at the time I was making $8.50 per hour and I had a wife and two children.  I couldn't be away from them for a year and a half just to make more money.   You see the only reason I was doing all this was to make more money.  Not to be happy or to have better life but just more money.  When I realized that the only reason that I was doing all of this I just started to look for a better paying job.  I found it and it I was good for a while.  Until one day I realized that I was not doing what I wanted to do, I wanted to be my own boss set my own schedule and have no ceiling on my income.  I started to look at opportunities online and offline,  but everything that I found was going to cost a lot of money and take a lot of time.  I would search for hours and hours everyday.  I knew that there had to be a way to make money from home without having to spent a lot of or money doing it.  About 3-4 years ago I got into the autosurf industry, and thought that I found what I was looking for all those years.  Well most of you know that the autosurf industry was full of scams.  I still hadn't changed my mindset all that I was seeing again was $$$.  I knew that some of the sites were too good to be true, but all that I saw was money and it got the best of me.  I was back to where I was a few years earlier.  Then one day I came across The Secret and my life started to change.  I started to find opportunities ever where I looked.  Now I am not going to tell you that I can manifest what ever I want I just a few hours but that slowly over time I have begun to see great changes. i started finding a few site that were paying and I jumped in and haven't looked back.  I have started to make more money meet more like minded people , and just be a happier person.  My wife can now be proud of me and I don't just make her mad by just spending money hoping that I will get rich one day.  She can now see what I have been trying to accomplish all these years.  Now I am not trying to say that once you change you mind set that everything will be all roses.  You will still have trials and tribulations but with the right mind set you will see past the hard time and realize that they are only temporary.  The trials that you go through will make you stronger.  You will start to see that sometimes you have to be torn down a little to be built up stronger.  Once you start to change your mindset you can change anything about your life you want.  I truly believe that mindset is everything.  You may fail at something but you can never be a failure.  You may not reach your goals on the first try but you have to try try try again and again until you reach your goals.  Once you have the mindset that I might not reach my goals the first try your world will truly open up and you will see things in a totally new light. Thanks for taking the time to read my blog.    
 
Today I begin a new journey that I have been planning for a while. I have tried and tried to make money for years online. I have made money in the past but I have also lost lots of money as well. I have done just about everything you can imagine online to make money.  I've done MLM, Network Marketing, Auto Surfs... you name it I've tried it. What I have found is that its not always the program that doesn't work its me that is not working. I was think about just the destination and not focusing on the journey. What I mean by this is that you must have a plan if you want to be successful. If you don't plan then you are planning to fail. Also do not focus on just how much money you are going to spend on any given venture but instead focus on the return you will receive. These are the things that when I changed how I was looking at opportunities, that were presented to me that my income started to change. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about making money online I am doing this to help as many people as I can so they will not struggle as I have done.
