Do you want to Quit your 9-5 Job?

Discussion in 'General Marketing' started by The Special One, Oct 19, 2006.

    I am sure how frustrating it is working for your boss. Are you tired of your boss always ordering you?

    How many here work a full time job? How many here are struggling to motivate themselves at work?
    I work in a full time job and I have to say it truly sucks - however, :p , people at my work dont know that I am also making money on the Internet :)

    I am making a nice amount on the Internet - this is a good back up income to have.

    I am hoping to quit my job in the near future to pursue a fulltime career on the Internet as a dot.com entreprenuer. Many have failed in the past but I think this is the best time to take advantage of the Internet.

    THE INTERNET IS A POWERFUL MONEY MAKING TOOL​


    I hope everyone here should set their goals high and dream of one day walking in their boss's office and telling him/her to stick their 9-5 day job up their ass - because YOU WILL BE YOUR OWN BOSS ONCE YOU ARE MAKING MONEY.

    The point is you should always think one step ahead, thats what I always do at work, brainstorm ideas, even at night or when you are talking to your wife or kids.

    I respect every single member on this forum because ALL of you have goals and those goals are clearly evident from the threads.

    As much as I'd like to work at home, I don't think I would unless I was making a steady income of at least $200,000/year or more by doing so. That's just me, however. :)

    Sigh.. I am my own boss, and I work from the moment I wake up to the minute I felt asleep. Better off getting a 9-5 I tell you. Less stress because is your company's problem when something went wrong, not yours.

    Living on the edge trying to make it online is fun when you are first trying to get away from your 9-5, but most people can't take that very exciting risk, because of people who depend on them, like wives and children.

    lol Sounds like every day of my life. Even though it's stressful though, I love what I do, and it keeps me incredibly motivated.

    If you manage to set up an automated way to make money online its not so much of a problem... but yes working on the internet can be demanding.

    Well, it's true it's a risk, but isn't every business a risk? I'm kinda lucky coz I'm still young, and I work as a web developer with another guy and do web marketing on the side. But we both plan to stop making websites for companies when this thing kicks off.

    But as Ash said, you need to automate the process for it to be worth while. And that's probably what makes web marketing better than other business's, coz it's something you may automate and literally make money while you sleep! It's worth the risk. :)

    Yes iam totally confused.i have been an internet enterprenuer for past 5 yrs.But iam now in confused state whether to go to job or work online.Because internet is now flooded with large number of competitions.you have to overcome it.i am a graphic designer and i made many templates.so far i made living with this.But now templates are available for free which are beautiful than the template which costs.
    Also i cant overcome the piracy.once i finish the template and upload its been warezed.so its frustating.Also we cant trust adsense.so i do know how will be the future in the internet.

    Currently this is my sole income. Mostly becuase I am in college right now. But I hope I can continue to work on this and excell myself in these fields. It is great waking up anytime you want and working anytime you want. Yes you have to work your ass off but I actually enjoy it. But I am no where near to having this become my full time job without college or anything. Maybe 4 years in college will help me. But only time will tell.
