    hmm... i think most people sick of being poor.
    in order to try get out of it, we need to set a main goal.... get out of poor?

    Let's say.. "Every Month My Revenue = My Expense"

    Then to work towards your main goal.... you set mini goals on how to achieve it.

    How to earn your revenue.

    you can:

    - work part-time earning your investment to build your site.
    - build sites, develop it

    until a point where your sites can support itself, you can be more relax.. however, continue to do it and create more mini goals to achieve your main goal.

    Money does not come to you with no hard work. Work for it. Money is in the online world. Find it, attract it, grab it.


    No experience? read from others experiences in this forum. They might motivate or demoralize you but there are always valuable ideas to be learn from them.

    1 word. College.

    It's not just about making more money in the future. The things you will learn there both in class and out will be invaluable. There's plenty of time to get into "business" later.

    get an education, start websites, if you fail try again, but the whining has got to stop...you have an internet connection so you are not poor...you live in a house and have food...appreciate what you have...business is built on passion or desperation...you seem to lack both...take a walk through east harlem or some other slums that are out there bro and tell me that you are poor.

    Third. To boot, college will be the easiest thing you do in your life. No matter what the major. Real life is hard. However, the more you invest in yourself the more leverage you have. The more leverage you have, the easier life can get. Work hard, work smart. It doesn't come fast but it comes.

    Hard work-Hard Work-HARD WORK...........

    I dont see why MOST people think college is the answer to all that is wrong in life.

    College is nothing more than an expensive piece of paper. We have been brainwashed that with college all in life will be GREAT.

    There are people with 4 and 6 year degrees working in Micky Ds. I met a social worker just yesterday that has a masters and is only make 40 grand a year.

    You can have a degree in Sports medicine or anything and be as dumb as a sack of bricks and go nowhere in life.

    I could of went to college after Graduation from High School but decided against it and went off and busted my ass to make something of myself.

    Today because of nothing more than HARD WORK I make more than most Doctors or Lawyers.

    Hard work is the only thing that will get you ahead in life with or without college.

    I think a Technical school of some sort is far better than a 4 year degree. The reason is you learn a trade and after 2 years or so your done and you go tackle the World. So now you've been working 2 full years before Mr. 4 year Underwater Basket Weaving degree guy gets out of school.

    You can do alot in 2 years................

    Example: My brother has a Masters and 2 bachelor's degree's and was in school forever. You know what he does ?? He worked for Homeland Security in the state of Florida making 65 grand a year.

    That is Sad...........

    College is NOTHING without Hard Work to follow it. The same Hard Work that someone without college has to do.

    Just my opinion based on what I have seen and experienced in life.

    handmade jewelry has huge market though. However you really need to predict the trend.

    I used to work in a beads wholesaler...business was really good. There are tons of woman who likes to play with those stuff

    It's great that you make more than most college graduates, but you have to realize that you are by far in the minority. Every statistic shows that college grads make more than non college grads by a large factor. But the whole money thing aside, college is all about the experiences gained and learning things you never would have learned otherwise. Yes, you will forget 99% of it and 99% is useless to everyday life, but it's all about the experience.

    yes, i make over 10k more at my job just because i have a college degree, granted i just got out of college and im only 22 and 10k is a lot of extra money for someone my age. Hell its a lot of money for anyone. IMO college is the way to go. as stated above, yes, there will be the lucky few who do still get along great in life without college, but the vast majority don't. The decision is essentially up to you buddy.

    You also need to understand that not all businesses succeed... actually, the majority fail very early on. If you don't have a degree to fall back on, what are you going to do when your cash cow suddenly dies, and you can't find a job paying nearly enough money to keep you in your current lifestyle? And as someone else said, it's about experience... of course if you haven't gotten that experience, you certainly won't understand it.

    Although I don't even think the original poster cares since he can't have his link, I think this a pretty good thread.

    That's the best idea I've heard so far ;)

    Honestly, college is really easy. All you have to do is go to class 12-15 hours a week and then the rest of the time is yours. You can party every night, and still have time to make money. I'll be starting back up to school in a month, and I'm still able to make $300-$500 per week while going to class with no problem.

    And as far as being poor, just remember this:

    "Sometimes you’re flush. Sometimes you’re bust. And when you’re up, it’s never as good as it seems. And when you’re down, you never think you’ll be up again. But life goes on."

    That's the best part :)
