If you never had a business of your own and never had financial independence, but that what you aspire for, I would suggest that you take your time to prepare yourself mentally to this very significant change in life.
Having your own business is different in many ways from being an employee. Obviously, you don't have a boss anymore, but not having a boss doesn't mean only that there is no one to put pressure on you, it also means that you're responsible for every single thing in your business, and that includes every little detail about the daily activities of your business and ultimately your success and failure. Naturally you have to make a lot more decisions than an employee, and while you don't have a boss to put you under pressure you may have your own fears to do that same thing...
Another thing, especially when you have in mind an online business, is that nobody prepares you to the fact that it is a hard and long way to go before your business becomes profitable, and that you have to invest at least some money and long hours to turn it into a success. Actually online everyone offers you business miracles - selling websites ready to go and earn money for you without you doing nothing or "while you're sleeping"...It makes you think that things are really simple and easy and you practically have to know nothing, do nothing and invest nearly nothing in order to be successful online.
Well I'm sorry to disappoint you. It's true that in most cases business online requires less money and work (certainly less physical work) than a break and mortar business, but that doesn't mean that you will not have to dedicate a lot of your money and time to that business. It also doesn't mean that you don't have to have a lot of determination and patience before you see some satisfying results. For all the "gurus" that I know of, it took several years to become gurus and millionaires, it didn't happen overnight, and if you want to succeed you will have to invest time, money, patience and a lot of determination and faith. Even when someone offers you honestly a winning formula that worked great for him, it will probably not work in the same way after sometime. The internet world changes so fast that you will have to study it constantly in order to make wise decisions about your business.
Please don't think that I want to discourage you, I really don't want to discourage you, but I am convinced that if you know what awaits you and prepare for it best you will not be discouraged when you see that 30 days, 90 days and even a year goes by and you're still not a millionaire despite all promises.
I add here links to 3 free online books that I do believe can be of great help to anyone wishing to succeed in life. Two of these books were written before anyone even dreamt of online home based business; still these books are valid as ever.
Spiritual Marketing by Joe Vitale
As A Man Thinketh by James Allen
Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
These are free links, and I found out that many times websites change their placement. Therefore, if any of the links doesn't work, I would suggest that you search google for the name of the book + free download (as in this example: " "Spiritual Marketing" + "free download") and you will find different websites where you can download the books.
I see these books as very important books that anyone aspiring for success should read. Still, if you find yourself in need of help which is more specifically for you, regarding your particular field and personal life, I would recommend Success University.
