True enough, a lot of us would be wondering whether to go for the big or keep the simple. I for one however think that we should accomplish first our simple goals before going for the big catch. After all we all start from scraps and if lucky, end up big, be it online marketing, SEO, blogging and a lot more. This has been a very nice and realisti post.

I'm sixty two and really retired until the last year. Thank you uncle Sam and fellow crooks. I felt all this article writing blogging, promoting while maybe quite rewarding was simply too much for me. I wanted something paying for what I did. Just enough to replace all or most of what my uncle is stealing. Thankfully I found it. In a much maligned niche too. It works for me. It's buying my new whaler fishing boat and sending the youngest to college. I'm happy. I was lucky I suppose my age makes a lot of decisions for me just like the go big or not others are faced with.

Having the pleasure of that delightful long lunch with you few weeks ago during your latest trip to Melbourne, Australia, is exactly the way I want to have the freedom to choose how to spend my day with friends, on a whim, when I want to, as a great example… Just like you said... I left my corporate life to start my own Home Business, desiring to be free, to do my own thing, be master of my own destiny, to do what I want to do when I want to... Yes, it’s a choice that requires courage, backbone and stamina. But also, at end of day, the choice is absolutely clear for me, because it’s the only way I can truly feel FREE to “BE” ME, and live my Life “being” true to myself, with authenticity and integrity. Growing your business can get complicated, so it’s a balancing act between growing that way, or staying small, free and easy. Intuitively I resisted, because I knew where I’d be going with that again. There are compromises, yes, for sure. But then not really, if you feel you’ve achieved living your life the way you want to with Integrity. When I’ve coached people about their goals/dreams, the initial Ferrari or Lamborghini, over time transforms into a 12 month holiday break to faraway places with a loved one/family. It’s not the money manifesting into a material object/symbol, it’s the “Freedom Lifestyle” that comes from Financial Success. I’ve just recently done my taxes too, and it’s such a retrospective focus for a few days. I yearn to return to my dreams, and “being” and “doing” the uplifting things to bring about my future. Here’s to flying free, being yourself, and self-determining… Freedom = Choice = A Life Well Lived on One’s Own Terms… Lynn, thank you so much for your wonderful honest post. From the amazing responses above, you've opened up a subject close to many people's hearts. Kathy ;-) Hi Lynn – I so LOVE your post, and I’m SO WITH YOU on this!

It's even easy. The majority of people I've talked to over the last few years seem to want to make it way harder than it is - for whatever reason. Take a step back and look at some successful models in a variety of markets (not just IM). Consider the common elements, what makes them successful, their profit models, etc. Yes, it really is simple. It’s even easy.

I've been very strategic about it along the way, but reached a critical point in the last couple of years. I have talked to several people in the last few weeks - people that are successful in the IM industry, that is - and have been getting some great advice and valuable insight into how they manage their business & income. Do a search on google for "internet marketing taxes" or "internet marketing IRS" - you should be able to find some good resources.
