Since I haven’t started a progress thread for my real estate investing activities yet, I figured now would be a great time to start one for a BRAND NEW business/learning venture. Thanks to many of YOU, I am finally pulling my head out of the sand in regards to the internet.

For some reason I have resisted learning much about the internet for the past several years. Even though I’m an engineer and spend most of my time in front of a computer, I somehow tuned out everything that wasn’t related to analyzing, buying, and managing real estate. Finding the Fastlane Forum was my first step in making this change. I finally signed up for a Facebook account after posting this thread. Hit Me Up! And I’ve spent a couple of recent weekends at internet marketing classes/workshops talking to some very successful people. So now, I’m jumping in head first. Let’s do this.

Here’s the plan. I’m going to post regular updates on my progress here on The Forum. I’m not doing this so much for accountability as I am to document the process and hopefully show others that they don’t need to stop after “making their first dollar online.” How about making your first ten thousand dollars online? That’s my plan. That’ll get you hooked.

Last night I laid out a plan (yes, on an actual calendar) for making my first sale within 45 days. I do not have my own product nor an affiliate product in mind at this time. I am starting from scratch. Of course I have some ideas on the hamster wheel, but we all know what an idea is worth….not much unless you take action. I like taking massive action, especially on something totally new. U ready? *big guy in black latex gloves points left*. U ready? *big guy in black latex gloves points right* Let’s get it on! :boxing_smiley:
