Many solo entrepreneurs believe certain things about starting their own business that are just not true. Continuing to believe in these myths can lead you down the path to destruction. Here are some of them:

•Since I’m just working for me, there is no need for a business plan. Would you go on a trip without a plan? Would you get married without a plan? Plans are good. They will help you get focused and stay that way. A good business plan will help you to think through all the aspects of your business and see you on your way to success.

•I’ll have to invest in expensive software to get a good business plan. Nope. Software may help, but you don’t need it. How do you think all those businessmen succeeded before the invention of the computer?

•Then I’ll need to hire a consultant to write my business plan for me. You are the one who knows what you are going to do. If not, then all the consultants in the world can’t help you. Try a coach or mentor to guide you, rather than do things for you.

•I should get one of those business plan templates that sound really complicated. Complicated is good, right? Wrong! Simple is better.

•I need to have everything perfect before I start. If you wait that long you may never start. Fix it as you go. Just make sure the major points are as good as they can be.

•If I don’t do everything my business plan says I’m a failure. Sometimes detours or changes can be beneficial to your long-distance plan. Don’t sweat the small stuff.

•My business plan must be typed, at least 50 pages long with a professional looking cover. You can write it in hieroglyphics on the wall – so long as you can understand it and access it when you need to.

•I only need a business plan if I’m getting a loan. Would you invest in any business without seeing a prospectus? You’ll be investing in this one! Just do a budget and run it by your accountant.

•If I have a business plan in my head – that will do. But can you remember it? Can your friends give you advice by reading your mind? Can your accountant?

•Friends and family are all I’ll need to give me advice. Could a city man tell a farmer how to run his farm? Only if your family are accountants and market research experts will they be qualified to give the right advice.

Is it possible to make a part time or full time living on the Internet? Can you really make enough money to make your time worthwhile?

According to all the “gurus” you can easily make a LOT of money by buying their program and doing EXACTLY what they tell you to do.

Is all of this hype really true? The answer is yes and no. It really is true that a stay at home Mom or a student in need of extra income or a full time worker needing a part-time income can make money on the Internet. It is also true that a lot of people are making a full-time living and even becoming rich on the Internet.

The question is, “Can you do it too”? Again the answer is maybe yes and maybe no. It all depends on how much time you are willing to invest in studying the techniques and learn the methods you need for Internet Marketing (IM) success.

The fastest way to earn extra money online is to sell on Ebay. You can start right now, today, and in 3 days be paid online for items you sell. There are a lot of “get rich quick” tutorials for sale on how to make it on Ebay, but you don’t need one. You can simply register at the Ebay site, read their tutorial and get started selling items you have around the house.

A lot of people make a few extra dollars to a few hundred extra dollars a month on Ebay. Others make a lot more. Ebay or any business you get into online or in a physical business location has the potential to make money. Lots of people succeed in business and a lot fail. Your success or failure will partially depend on how well you prepare, how much you study and how much energy you put into the project.

The great thing about online businesses compared to brick and mortar stores is it usually costs a lot less to get started. For instance, getting stared selling on Ebay doesn’t cost anything. You only pay fees when you run an Ebay auction ad.

Once you have some money rolling in on Ebay, you can invest in one of the guru courses that you can find in any search engine by doing a search for, “Internet marketing”.

Do you have to buy a course? No, you can find free information online to help you get started. The advantage of a course is that it is all in one place. A decent course starts at about $67 and runs up to about $197. There are other cheaper courses and more expensive ones. It is best to start learning with a moderately priced course.

Every course you find will offer you good advice. Some are better than others. It is hard to say which is best. Just like some people love Fords and hate Chevy’s, it is the same with IM guru courses. The secret is to do a little online research, pick one and then follow it.

Internet Marketing can be as easy as creating a simple website and putting other company’s ads on the site. You get paid when someone buys a product or even when someone clicks on an ad. You don’t even need a product to sell; you only have other’s ads on your web pages.

Ebay is a make money today proposition. For most people, Internet Marketing is a get rich slow process. Yes, some people make money within days or weeks of starting on online business. Most take a little longer to get established.

There are no hard and fast rules on how long it will take you to make money online or how much you can make. It all depends on how hard you are willing to work and how much time you are willing to devote to creating a new business.
