About three years ago I decided that as much as I loved my career as a Riding Instructor it was not going to let me retire in style! So I started looking on the Internet for an online business.

I tried  a number of different online businesses, mlm and direct sales. In all of them I felt something was missing. Was it me, or was it them.

To be honest, although one of them didn’t evolve into anything much, all
hype and no substance, in most cases it WAS me. I just didn’t have the
basic knowledge. How to recruit, where to find people interested in my
online business and where to make sales.

So, the answer was to think again. Go back to the basics and learn. But
how? The first thing I did was to research online to see where the
knowledge can be found. So often we jump onto the first business we
find that offers training, only to find that the information is either
‘old school’ or just not really of any value.

I was looking for somewhere where I could learn from the successful people,
those who were not only making money but were sure enough of their own
business to be happy to pass on their methods.

So often we have an idea of what we should be doing, but when it actually
comes to putting it into practice, then that is where it gets difficult.
We need to find a source of information where the methods are explained
so that we understand them and can formulate them ourselves.

I had seen a business some time before, when I had been wasting time and
money getting no-where and thought I would look into it again. At last
I was in the right frame of mind to take on what they were offering.
They not only offered training that took you in stages from beginner to
advanced but had live training sessions that were so inspirational you
couldn’t help but take their advice on board.

This is what I would advise you to do if you are looking for a way of
learning and earning at the same time.

Research the online business, find out what they are offering and what
you can offer them. Think about whether this is a system you can copy
and feel that you can promote.

Remember, that if you trust and admire the people you are working with
then you will have the passion to follow and learn from them. You must
love what you are doing otherwise you will never give 100%.
