Did you see how I emphasized the word “FREE” in my title ?

YES !! Today I’m going to introduce ways to make money on the Internet – for FREE. You need not pay anything at all to sign up for these programs I’m going to introduce today.

You see, there are many ways to make money on the Internet. I am sure you have heard a lot about this either through friends, family members, or when you are surfing on the Internet (there are lots of advertisements on how one can make money on the Internet).

With the advancements of the Internet, items that you sell online can potentially reach out to millions or even billions of potential customers worldwide. As I’ve said in my previous articles, not only you can sell physical products, you can also sell ideas. There are unlimited means to which you can make money on the Internet.

Today, I will be introducing to you how you can make money by reading emails. Yes, you got me correct – you can make money by reading emails.

How much will I make from reading emails ?

I know this is the first question you are going to ask. The answer is this : The more emails you read, and the more friends you introduce to sign up (you will get paid for emails your friends read), the more you’ll get paid ! There’s more ! You’ll even get paid for emails your friends’ friends read ! Amazing, isn’t it ?

To illustrate out how much you can make per month from a free paying email program, I shall give you an example of how much you can make per month by reading emails sent by a program called Hits4Pay :

You receive an average of 20 emails per month from Hits4Pay. [You receive $0.02 per email read]

You manage to get 50 friends to sign up for Hits4Pay under your name [You receive $0.01 per email they read]

Each of your 50 friends gets another 50 friends to sign up for Hits4Pay under their name, and they each receive 20 emails per month from Hits4Pay. [You receive $0.01 per email they read]

Let me show you how much you can make per month :



YES ! That's right ! You can make $110.40 per month ! And that's just the amount you receive per month for ONE program ! Lets say you are a member of 4 different websites of a similar nature, and each of these websites pay you the same as Hits4Pay, you'll earn more than $500 per month !!!

Show me the programs now !!

There are 3 FREE paying email programs I want to introduce, and would like to strongly encourage you to sign up. They are :

1. Hits4Pay
2. WePaid
3. EmailCashPro

I am a member of these FREE paying email programs myself. I have also introduced my friends to sign up for these programs and they are now enjoying the money making process. Do not worry about receiving spam emails from them as they will NOT spam your mailbox.

Now, I shall introduce each and every program in more detail :

Hits4Pay



When you sign up as a member of Hits4Pay, your account will be credited with US$10 ! (Signing up takes about 5 minutes). Not bad for 5 minutes of work, isn’t it ?

You’ll be receiving emails from Hits4Pay in your mailbox. All you need to do is to follow a few simple steps to open up the email and get paid.

Click here for a comprehensive step-by-step instruction on how to read emails from Hits4Pay and get paid.

What’s more, introduce your friends to sign up for the program and you’ll get paid for every email your friend read ! Encourage your friends to ask their friends to sign up, and you’ll also get paid for mails they read !

Click here to sign up as a member of Hits4Pay.

WePaid

Let us move on to another free paying email program – WePaid.



This program works very similarly to Hits4Pay, in that you will get paid for reading emails sent by WePaid. WePaid will award you points, instead of cash, for reading emails. These points are automatically converted to cash at the end of every month.

Similar to Hits4Pay, WePaid will also pay you part of what your friends’ earn. The following shows how much you can make by introducing friends to sign up for WePaid :



On top of reading emails, WePaid also pay you for visiting particular websites, signing up for free offers and promotions, etc. In short, there are endless opportunities to get paid in WePaid.

Click here for a step-by-step guide on how to read emails and perform activities from WePaid and get paid.

Click here to sign up as a member of WePaid.

EmailCashPro

Last but not least, I would like to introduce the program EmailCashPro :



Similar to the other programs I’ve introduced, EmailCashPro pays you for reading emails. You will also get paid for emails your friends read, as follows :

Why should I join these programs ?

Why should you NOT join ? They’re free ! You have NOTHING to lose, ALL to gain !

You may be asking me – “Why on earth would such programs pay me when I didn’t even fork out a single cent ??”

Yes. You did not pay a single cent to sign up for these programs, BUT, you’ll be spending time to read the emails sent by them. That’s what these websites are paying you for – your time.

You do not need a lot of time to read emails from them – you only need about 10 minutes at most everyday. Just 10 minutes everyday, and you’ll be able to earn a substantial amount of income from these great programs !

Why would you want to miss out on such GREAT opportunities ? Sign up for these programs now !

1. Hits4Pay
2. WePaid
3. EmailCashPro

How can I get my friends to sign up ?

The trick to be able to make a substantial amount of money from these programs is this – the more friends you introduce to sign up for these programs, the more money you’ll be able to earn (these programs will pay you part of what they earn).

You may be asking me this question - “How can I get my friends to sign up, and in turn, ask them to ask their friends to sign up too ?”

My answer to this is – start-ups are NEVER easy. Lots of planning is needed in any new start-ups, such as building interpersonal relationships between yourself and potential customers (This is a very important step because it is unlikely that people will buy from you if they don’t know who you are.), introduce to potential customers the product you are trying to sell (in terms of how they can benefit from the product, and to address any concerns / problems they have), etc.

DO NOT feel discouraged and harbour thoughts of giving up if you did not manage to get as many people to join you right from the start.

Tell yourself “YOU CAN DO IT !” instead. There are lots of different ways and means you can promote your product on the Internet. The BEST deal is that – most of them are FREE !

Once you have established the relationship between yourself and your potential customers, money will come eventually. It’s a natural process. So be patient.

That’s all for now. If you have any good programs to introduce or have any questions with regard to any of the programs I have introduced, please let me know. Drop me an email at ljunyuan@msn.com or leave your comments under “Comments” in this post.

I wish you all success in your money making journey !

Cheers !

I would like to share with you some interesting things I’ve learnt from this book titled “Why We Want You to be Rich” by Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki.

I’m sure you know who these 2 great people are, right ? For the benefit of those who are not sure who they are, let me do a brief introduction – Donald Trump is the host for “The Apprentice” and also the founder of the “Trump” corporation. Robert Kiyosaki is the author of “Rich Dad” Books. One good book written by him is “Rich Dad Poor Dad”. I’m sure most of you have hear of or seen this book somewhere right ? Both of them are very good investment gurus.

90/10 Rule of Money

One of things I like to share with you from their book is the 90/10 rule of money.

Robert Kiyosaki shared in the book that in the game of money, 10% of the players will earn 90% of the money while the other 90% will share the remaining 10%.

I find what he said to be very meaningful. After digesting what Robert Kiyosaki has written, I quickly asked myself “Which group do I want belong to ?”

Of course everyone will say you want to be one of the 10% who earn 90% of the money. Who in the right frame of mind will say he / she want to be one of the remaining 90%, right ?.

Having said that, I would like to emphasise that by simply answering that question is not enough. You have to work towards it, which means you have to have an aim, have a goal, have a target you want to achieve. Once you have set your aim / goal / target, develop your plan to WORK TOWARDS IT ! Even if it means sacrificing your favourite TV programmes, even if it means having to sacrifice some sleeping time everyday.

In order to achieve my goal, I have set aside at least 1 hour everyday to do things that will drive me towards being one of the 10% earning 90% of the money. No matter how busy I am, I will try to squeeze some time out. I really enjoy the 1 hour I’m spending everyday and seeing myself moving towards my goal. Once you start seeing money beginning to roll in, you’ll definitely find that the sacrifices are worth it.

I would like you to spend a few minutes (3 –5 minutes) to think your goal. Ask yourself these 2 questions :

“What do I want to achieve in life ?” and

“What sacrifices am I willing to make to achieve my goal ?”

Try answering these questions. I encourage all of you to tell me your answers either by posting a comment in this post, post a message on my tagboard, or if you do not like others to see what you have written, you can drop me an email at ljunyuan@msn.com. I am looking forward to hear from you.

Reading is nothing without actions

YES !! I TOTALLY AGREE WITH THE SENTENCE !

Let us try a simple exercise.

Take out a copy of today’s paper. Randomly choose and read an article that’s about half a page long.

5 – 10 minutes later, try to recall the contents of the article you have read 5 – 10 minutes ago. How much can you recall ? I would say that most likely, you’ll have no problem recalling you will be about 70 – 80% of it.

Try to recall the contents of that SAME article an hour later. How much can you recall now ? I would say that you are now only be able to recall about 45 – 50% of it.

Try to recall the contents of that SAME article the next morning. How much can you recall now ? I dare say that most of you can only recall about 5 – 10% of it. Some of you may only be able to recall the title of the article !

Don’t just read what I’ve written. Try this exercise out.

The moral of the story is, you will gain nothing by reading alone. You have to take action to apply what you have read. In the book “Why We Want You to be Rich”, I came across a very interesting table (source : Cone of Learning adapted from Dale, 1969) and would like to share with all of you :



It is proven that by reading alone, you can only remember 10% . However, if you applied what you have read, you can remember 90%.

I hope that all of you, after reading my article, will start applying what you have read either in your money making journey or in your daily life, instead of just simply reading and forget about it.

Questions ? Please feel free to leave them under “Comments” in this entry or drop me an email at ljunyuan@msn.com.

Gotta go now. Have fun trying out the exercises. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it as much as I do. See you !

Cheers

Rich Schefren has been profiled on the front page of numerous newspapers and magazines (such as Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, The New York Post, etc.) and TV channels (such as FOX, ABC, The Discovery Channel, The Learning Cahnnel, etc.).

Rich Schefren’s ebook

On top of that, Rich Schefren also gave an analysis on 2 different categories of millionaires – those who still need to continue working in order for their businesses to continue generating money, and those who can set their businesses to auto-pilot, knowing that it will continue to generate money whether or not they are working.

Freebies !!! I LOVE freebies, especially those e-books on how to make money on the Internet. There are lots of free resources available on the Internet, ranging from e-books, e-newsletters, podcast, video streaming, teleseminar, etc. The list goes on and on.

Some of these free materials are very comprehensive and easy to understand and follow. During my free time, I love to surf around for money making websites and the best part is, most of these websites have free materials available for downloading. Of course, before we can download the materials, we have to provide our name and email address. Some of you may ask me “If I give these websites my email address, will my mailbox be spammed by them ?”

No, you will not receive any spam emails from these websites. I have given my email address to numerous websites to download these free materials and I have NOT received any spam emails from them. The only emails I received from these websites are those that contain MORE tips and tricks, as well as invaluable information about how I can make money on the Internet.

You can trust these websites that tell you that your email address will be kept confidential, and will not be spammed by them. The reason is because most of these websites that are providing you free information are also in a way, trying to market some products to you. If these websites were to spam your mailbox, what are the chances of you eventually buying from them ? I don’t think you won’t want to purchase from someone who can’t keep their word right ? That’s why you can be rest assured that your mailbox will not be spammed.

To tell you the truth, I was NEVER interested in subjects related to business in the past. That was before I read the book “Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires” by Adam Khoo. “Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires” was in fact the FIRST business-related book I read my entire life. I am not trying to promote anything here but this book really made an impact on me. After reading the book, it led me to ONE conclusion, and that is, it is POSSIBLE for ALL of us to become MILLIONAIRES, if we set our mind to become one.

For those of you who do not know who Adam Khoo is, let me do a brief introduction about him – Adam Khoo is the founder of “Adam Khoo Learning Technologies Group”, Singapore’s most prominent and prestigious training company, running leading personal-development programmes for students, professionals, executives and business owners. Some of his corporate clients include Tupperware, American International Insurance, Prudential, Lux Asia, Rolls Royce Marine and many more. Adam Khoo attained the millionaire status by the age of 26 and is a multi-millionaire today.

Today, I’ll like to share with you some of the things I read from “Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires” which really inspired me.


Possibility of becoming a millionaire

Adam shared with us that it is POSSIBLE for us to become millionaires. Many people have this perception that it is much easier to become millionaires in the past. However, the truth is there are much more millionaires now compared to the past. Therefore, it is today that YOU TOO can become a millionaire !


Reading

One of the many things I learnt from the “Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires” was the importance of reading. If you are completely new to the topic of Internet Marketing, or even if you want to find out more on how to make money on the Internet, I would like to strongly urge you to grab a copy of “Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires”. “Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires” give us a very good overview on Internet Marketing to help us get started.

I could not have stressed the importance of reading. We have to constantly read to improve ourselves, to learn new paradigms, to learn new ways to make money, etc.

To be frank with you, before I read Adam’s book, I only managed to finish reading at most 1 or 2 books every year !

However, after reading “Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires”, I became obsessed with reading, especially on books teaching us how to make money, how to improve our attitude (Having the right attitude is important to help us focus our mind to make money), etc.

Whenever I step into a shopping centre, the first thing I’ll look out for is the bookshop. I’ll spend half of my time in the shopping centre in that bookshop to look around for any new business-related and self-improvement books. I will not hesitate to buy the book if I find it interesting. Many people can spend hundreds of dollars buying luxuries, such as mobile phones, clothes, DVDs, CDs, etc. without even thinking twice ! However, when it comes to buying books, they will tend to hesitate whether to buy or not. They’ll think over and over again. I really don’t understand why. Books are actually assets. Why do I call them assets ? Because books, especially those about money making or self-improvement, teaches us something, and we can apply what we have learnt in the books to make even more money than we actually can ! That’s why I always treat books as assets.

However, things like mobile phones, clothes, video games, electronic equipment, etc. are actually liabilities, because these things NEVER generate any profits for you. These things only depreciate in value as time goes on.

For your information, I now make it a point to read AT LEAST 1 book every month. That way, I make sure I’ll learn something new, which I can apply and help make even more money every month.

I would like to share with you one more point about reading – there is no point reading so many books if we do not take action to apply the knowledge we learnt from them. It will be a complete waste of time to only read and not apply what we’ve learnt from the books.


Game of Money

Treat money making as if you are playing a game. Money making is actually a very fun game to play – BUT only if you know the rules of the game. If you know the rules of the game, you will be able to generate a substantial amount of income with ease.

Look at people like Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, Jack Welch. Why are they able to make so much money ? The answer is very simple – it is because they know how to play the game of money. Have you ever wondered why these millionaires are still thinking of ways and means to make money even though they are already millionaires ? The reason is because they simply love the game of money ! They love it so much that they are constantly thinking of ways and means to make even more money ! These people know the rules of the game to help them make lots of money. People who do not know the rules of the game will definitely end up losing money, and even become backrupts.

Therefore, it is very important you know the rules of the game. The “Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires” is a very good book that teaches you the rules of the game of money - how to play the game of making money.


Managing your wealth

Besides learning how to make money, you need to also know how to protect your wealth. Let me ask you a question – Do you keep track the amount of money you save every month ?” I am quite sure many of us do not.

Our mentality to saving money is to spend first and save whatever that’s left. How many of you will put aside the amount of money you like to save every month before spending the rest ?

My next question is – do you keep track of how you spent your money ? What do you spend your money on ?

Just to side-track a bit – I recently listened to a presentation on how the poor, the middle class and the rich spend their money and would like to share with you what he said.

He said the first group of people – the poor, will spend whatever money they have buying stuff. What is stuff ? Stuff is simply things that occupy space in your house. They are often things you DO NOT really need, things you seldom use. This stuff generates no income for you.

The second group of people – the middle class, will spend their money on things like cars, houses, boats, etc. They also spend their money on paying their credit card bills. You may ask me – isn’t house an asset ? A house is only an asset IF you manage to make a profit after selling it. If selling your house will not bring you any profit, it is considered a liability.

The third group of people – the rich, will invest their money in shares, bonds, fixed deposits, businesses, education, etc. They spend their money on things that will help generate even more money for them. They spend their money on things that will earn them a passive income (passive income is any income you obtain that is not from your main source of income. One good example of passive income is the dividend or interest you receive from your investments).

Let me give you an example of how the rich spend their money. I’m sure you heard about Warren Buffet (For the benefit of those who don’t, he is an investment guru who makes millions through investing and is now the 2nd richest man in the world).

Warren Buffet started making money when he was very young. One of his every first business was to setup pinball machines in barber shops. He started off this business by buying 1 pinball machine and putting it in 1 barber shop. He used the money generated from that pinball machine to buy another pinball machine and put in another barber shop, and so on. That was how he expanded his so-called “business” then. The pinball machine was an asset to Warren Buffet, because it generated an income for him.

Let me give you another example. I posted an article from the newspapers on someone who became a millionaire with US$10. Click here to read the article.

I want to bring your attention to the following portion of the article :



NO LAVISH LIFESTYLE
While her business has made her a millionaire, she said that she is not exactly enjoying an extravagant lifestyle because she re-invests all her money into the business.


As you can see from the above, she did not make use of her money to buy stuff, she did not spend it lavishly, but, she re-invested all her money into the business. This is the mindset of all millionaires.

Before I read “Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires”, I was like most of you. I did not keep track of my expenditures. I had no idea where I spent my money on.

After reading the book, I started to keep track of WHERE and HOW I spent my money, HOW much I spent, as well as HOW much I save per month. To help me answer these questions, I created the following list every month to keep track of my expenditures and savings :





The above list enabled me to find answers to questions such as “Where did I spend my money on ?”, “How much money did I spend ?”, “How much do I actually save monthly ?”, “In which area did I spend the most amount of money on ?”, etc. I am now able to better keep track of my expenditures and savings.

I would like to encourage all of you to have your own list to keep track of your expenditures and savings. You’ll be surprised by the amount of money you spent every month buying “stuff”. =)


Money making on the Internet

The Internet is a very powerful tool. We use the Internet to communicate with friends (through emails, instant messaging, forums), to do research (the Internet is very rich in information), to keep in touch with what’s happening around the world, etc.

If you are not aware, today, there are lots of people who make use of the Internet to generate income. How many of you here have a website or blog ? For those of you who have, do you know you can generate income from your website or blog through advertising (such as Google Adsense – where Google will place advertisements on your web. You make money when visitors on your web click on those advertisements) ?

Advertisements by Google will look like the following :





In “Think Rich, Grow Rich”, I will be showing you how to set up a Google Adsense account and start making money on your website or blogs. Watch out for that.

Besides making money through advertising, you can make use of your website or blog to help sell other people’s products – known as Affiliate Marketing.

The advantages of affiliate marketing are :
- You can sell everything and anything on the Internet as an affiliate marketer, as long as the company allows for it.
- You need not find a space to physically store the products you are selling, to provide shipping or after-sales support (The company selling the products will take care of all these).
- You stand to earn 50 – 70% of the sales as an affiliate marketer for every product sold.
- You can reach out to potential customers worldwide round the clock (In my previous posting on “Statistics on Number of Internet Users”, you can potential reach out to over 6 billion people around the world).
- It costs nothing, or sometimes a very minimal cost, to be an affiliate marketer.
- There is very minimal risk. If something you are selling is not making money, you can change the products you want to sell within minutes.

There are some people who set up websites just to help companies sell their products as an affiliate marketer. Some of them have generated a substantial amount of income by doing just that !


Investing in Stocks and Shares

In ““Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires”, Adam also discussed topics on investing in stocks and shares. I will not be deliberating on that as the focus of my blog is on how to make money on the Internet.


“Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires” is a MUST BUY if you are interested to become an Internet Marketer. It contains lots of step-by-step instructions on how we can make money on the Internet. When you purchase “Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires”, you will receive :

I was in McDonalds reading Stephen R. Covey’s “The 8th Habit” and a topic suddenly struck my mind (and I’ll like to share with you about it) - our brain works like the hard disk of a computer in that we can choose the “programs” we like to “install” in our brain, just like we can choose the software to install in our computer.

I’m sure all of you know what kind of programs we install in our computer – programs such as the Windows Operating System, Word processing software, Database software, Computer games, etc.

How about the types of “programs” we install in our brain ? We can install “programs” relating to values, behaviours, perception in our brain. How do we install these so-called “programs” on values, behaviours and perception ? We install these “programs” through the books and magazines we read, news we gather from newspapers, radio and television, as well as information we get through communicating with peers. We have the choice to choose the “programs” we want to install in our brains (that’s why our human brain is so powerful).

We can choose to “program” our brain to think like millionaires such as Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Jack Welch by reading books and learning about how these people think and work. Through reading, we are in a way “installing” these “programs” in our brain, which will allow us to model the behaviours of these millionaires.

We can also choose to “program” our brain to achieve certain goals – such as committing at least one hour everyday to explore on the ways and means to make money on the Internet. If we tell ourselves that we will be able to commit this amount of time, we certain will be able to.

Besides many good “programs” that are available, there are also lots of bad “programs” that we must avoid “installing” into our brain, just as we install antivirus, anti-spyware programs in our computers to prevent viruses, spywares being installed into our computer. Examples of “bad” programs include negative thinking, bad influence from peers, sense of helplessness and hopelessness that we harvest in our brain, just to name a few. If we keep thinking we are hopeless, or think that there’s nothing we can do to improve our lives, or have this feeling that we are too tired to commit any time for money-making activities, these bad “programs” will actually be “installed” in our brain sub-consciously (just as how virus and spywares get installed in our computer without our knowledge), and we will always end up as failures.

You have the choice on the “programs” you wish to “install” in your brain. There are lots of good “programs” available that you want to grab a copy – such as “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” and “The 360 Degree Leader”. These are examples of good “softwares” you should install in your brain.

“Installing” these good “programs” is a good first step to getting yourself prepared in your journey to making money on the Internet. Trust me. They’ll definitely help.

Gotta go now ! Catch up with you soon !

Take care,
Jun Yuan

To start off, let me share with you my personal experience – making money on the Internet is not easy, especially when you are new to it. There are lots of things that need to be done before diving into the world of making money on the Internet – such as doing lots of research and reading up to make sure I know the complete picture about making money on the Internet, planning on strategies I want to take to make money on the Internet, putting my plans into actions, review the results and change my strategy, if not successful. All these take time, and I mean lots of time, and not forgetting determination and self-discipline.

I am not trying to scare you off with that. Let me tell you something – attaining success is NEVER easy. Ask the entrepreneurs, ask people who are successful. They will definitely tell you that they have put in a lot of hard work before they managed to smell success.

I am sure you do encounter problems in life – either in school, at work, between friends and family members, etc.

Let me ask you a question - what do you do when you encounter problems in life ? Do you sit down and just whine and complaint or do you think of how to solve the problem ?

For me, I will sit down and review the whole situation and find out exactly what went wrong. I will then think of possible solutions I can take to solve the problems. Not only that, I will also talk to friends and people I’m comfortable with to seek their opinions, as two brains are always better than one. How about you ?

Always remember this - One should NEVER give up when encountered problems. If you give up at the slightest obstacle, you will NEVER succeed. Trust me. You never will. The reason is because in order to succeed, you need to get past numerous obstacles.

The same goes for doing an online Internet business. You will definitely meet obstacles in some stage. Do not give up. Keep trying and you’ll definitely succeed.

Determination to succeed

Before we start off on our money making journey, let us spend a minute or two to look at the following picture :



Picture yourself at the start of the winding road.

You are now going to travel from one end of the road to the other (the destination). Now, focus on the word “Destination” and ask yourself this question - “What is my goal ?” For me, I want to understand and model how millionaires think and act, and also try to unveil as many money -making opportunities on the Internet as possible, and share with all of you (through this blog), as well as making as much money as possible on the Internet.

That is my aim, and so here I am, blogging about my adventures and sharing with you whatever I have on online Internet marketing.

To achieve my aim, I have to constantly enrich myself by reading books as well as resources on the Internet, digest and translate them into lay-man terms so that it is understandable for everyone.

You may be asking me this – “This blog is supposed to be on ways to get rich. So far you have not posted anything on how exactly can we make money on the Internet.”

Yes, I have yet to post anything on how to make money on the Internet for a simple reason – because I want to get all of you in the right frame of mind first. Only with a correct attitude and a right frame of mind, we will be able to move in the correct direction and make all the correct decisions. I always believe in the saying “Attitude determines Altitude”.

The going will be tough, but always tell yourself this – “I WILL DEFINITELY SUCCEEED.” Keep going. DO NOT GIVE UP.

Let me give you an example. Let’s say you have participated in a 5 km race. The race has just started. You feel energetic, bursting with energy and full of zest, and you managed to overtake lots of runners. However, half-way through the race, when your energy start to run out, you’ll feel mentally and physically tired and have a strong urge to stop. At that point in time, do you feel like stopping ? Many of us would.

Whether you’ll be able to finish the race will depend on what you tell you brain.

If you keep telling yourself “I’m going to die if I don’t stop.”, “I’m never going to make it to the finishing point”, “I am so tired. I feel like quitting”, I can tell you that you’ll never be able to finish the race. You’ll eventually give up.

However, if you tell yourself “I will definitely reach the ending point !”, “I can do it !”, “I am NOT going to give up !”, you will be able to find the energy within you to continue running and finish the race.

What I’m trying to tell you is this – whether we succeed or not, it is all in our mindset. If we program our mind telling it to continue moving towards our goal despite of setbacks or obstacles, we WILL definitely succeed.

I would like to recommend some self-improvement books which helped me a lot in improving myself personally :

- The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey
- 360 Degree Leader by John C Maxwell

Hope you’ll find them useful too. I shall stop here for now. Keep a look out for my next posting, as I’m going to start unveil how we can make money on the Internet.

Cheers !

In my last posting, I said it was possible to improvise someone else’s business and turn it into your own and start making money. I have also talked about how someone can turn simple ideas they have in mind into a money making opportunities.

Now, I like to share with you some real-life stories of ordinary people who tapped on other people’s business or simple ideas they have and turn them into money-spinning businesses :

---

I’m sure everybody knows about the McDonalds fast food restaurant. Do you know the history behind it ? Here goes – the present chairman, Ray Kroc, was not the creator of the famous McDonalds restaurant. The very first McDonalds restaurant was created by Dick and Mac McDonald in a very small shop in California. The McDonalds restaurant sold very high quality burgers at a very cheap price.

However, the McDonald brothers did not see the potential of the restaurant and it was bought over by Ray Kroc, who saw the potential of this business, for only $2.7million.

He franchised the business worldwide, and within a short period of 6 years, there were about 20,000 franchised outlets worldwide, earning Ray Kroc millions of dollars in royalties !

Many of us thought that the very first Operating System, the Microsoft DOS (Disk Operating System), was created by Bill Gates (the founder of Microsoft). The truth is that Bill Gates did not create Microsoft DOS, but he purchased the Operating System called “QDOS” (what MS-DOS was based on) from Seattle Computer Products for a mere sum of $50,000. He then generated billions of dollars in revenue by licensing non-exclusive rights of the software to IBM and their clone manufacturers.

The “Chicken Soup” inspirational books you see in bookshops are not written by Jack Canfield and Mark Hansen. The stories in those inspirational books were written by hundreds of contributing writers. What Jack Canfield and Mark Hansen did was to compile the stories into “Chicken Soup” books, and guess what ? It managed to fetch them over $160 million by publishing and selling these books worldwide !

Richard Branson found this business by chance when he was vacationing in Beef Island (part of Virgin Islands) with his wife. He and his wife were stranded in the airport when the local Puerto Rican flight got cancelled.

When caught up in situations like this, most people will either hang around the airport waiting for things to happen or lodge complaints with the authorities. Richard Branson, unlike most people, saw this problem as an opportunity.

What he did was that he made calls to aircraft charter companies and managed to charter a private plane for $2,000. He also borrowed a blackboard and wrote the following – “Virgin Airways $39 Single Flight to Puerto Rico”, offering flights to other passengers who were also stranded at the airport. He managed to sell EVERY SINGLE seat within an hour, and even managed to make a profit from offering the flight ! Amazing isn’t it ?

When he got back, the thought about the comments of one happy passenger who said “Virgin Airways isn’t too bad – smarten up the service a little and you could be in business.”

This marked the birth of Virgin Airways and today, it is a global budget airline and one of the most profitable in the world !

After reading these stories, it only made me realise one thing, and that is, it is POSSIBLE for EVERYONE to be rich - only if you believe you CAN.

Please stay tuned and continue to check back on my blog as I'll be uploading articles on how YOU can make money on the Internet.

A very happy 2007 to all of you !!

I hope all of you have enjoyed your New Year celebrations… the fireworks, partying… While you guys are out there enjoying, I am thinking of ways to make this web better for all of you (I’m typing this blog at 12.30am on 1 January 2007). I am proud to announce that “Think Rich Grow Rich” is now a .com ! From today, “Think Rich Grow Rich” is accessible via http://www.think-rich-grow-rich.com or http://think-rich-grow-rich.com.

Coming back to my topic on New Year Resolution. Do you have any new year resolutions in 2007 ? Have you set any goals you want to achieve in 2007 ? If you have not, perhaps you’ll like to spend a few minutes to think about what you want to achieve this year.

Goal setting is very important. It gives one a sense of direction. It will serve to drive someone to work towards the goal. Not having goals will leave a person directionless. People who do not have goals will find themselves not achieving anything come the end of the year. When they look back on what they have achieved throughout the year on 31 December 2007, they find that they’ve wasted yet another year achieving nothing.

My Goals

I’ll start the ball rolling by sharing with you my goals for 2007. This year, I aim to uncover more money making avenues on the Internet and share with you on my blog. I also want to earn my first $1,000 on the Internet (I have only just started off venturing on ways and means on how to make money on the Internet, so I think $1,000 is a more realistic aim for me to achieve for now. Of course, I’ll set another target as soon as I manage to hit this target I’ve set).

Simply by having a goal without steps to achieving it is useless. My steps to achievingmy goals are as follows : to allow as many people as possible benefit from my postings, I need to make my blog known to as many people as possible. In order to do so, I will advertise my blog on search engines such as Google, Yahoo, Altavista, etc. I will also put up advertisements on notice boards, etc. Most importantly, I will need the support of all of you to help spread the word about this website.

This year, I will be putting up at least 1 article every week in my blog (so check back on my blog often in order not to miss out anything). To be able to enrich you with interesting materials, I’ll be spending even more time this year doing more research and reading, as well as trying out new online money making techniques and share with you my personal experiences. If you have any interesting articles and would like to share with everyone here, please send the article to me at ljunyuan@msn.com.

This is my goal for 2007. At the end of 2007, I’ll use this posting as a benchmark to evaluate myself – in terms of how much have I achieved my goals set, and to what extent have I achieved them.

What’s your New Year Resolution for 2007 ?

I have shared with you my New Year resolutions for 2007. What’s yours ? I would like to hear from you. I hope you can share with me your goals by either emailing me at ljunyuan@msn.com, leave a comment under this post or post a message on my tagboard on the left of this page.

I would like to wish you all success in the coming 2007. Do check back my blog regularly as I’ll be updating new materials on ways you can become a millionaire like many others real soon !

To your success,
Jun Yuan
