The Internet Entrepreneur Diary

Can’t believe time goes by so fast. It’s about time to confess again. My weekend confession becomes my only motivation to post on this blog. I don’t really have motivation to post technology stuff on this blog any more. It’s my little place to get something out of my chest, so I can move on to next step.

In the past week, I got a lot of things done. Most importantly, I have moved forward on my project. I am so glad that wife will come home next week after a month family trip to Hong Kong. I am kind of missing her. I am also glad that I was able to control myself to work even harder in the past week.

My entrepreneur journey has been rough. It’s not easy for me to jump into the business and marketing circle from the logical IT industry without any frustration and disappointments.

Don’t even want to know when was the last time I used blog post header image in my post. It was very time consuming to find image on Flickr and crop them in Photoshop. I think it’s wasting my time. I don’t seem to care if anyone reading my blog any more. This blog is not going make me a million. There is no point to implement this blog or upgrade to newest version. I got more important things to do!

I think a brilliant idea will only take 3 minutes to execute. Yesterday was a very exciting day. I attended 4 different local business event and meeting. I was very exhaust after meeting all day long. I end up gave out all my 100 business cards and don’t have any card left for the last meeting in Chandler.

While meeting with other business owners and business people, I realize that I am probably the most IT savvy person in the meetings. They are either accounting, financial advisors, flower shop owner, restaurant owner, TV reporters, Landscapers.

They all have the same question to me.

It’s exactly a year since I had the idea about my latest project. Obviously, I am totally failed on reaching the goals I set one year ago. I don’t even want to go back to dig my unrealistic post out from the blog. Let’s burry it forever.

I am going to face the real challenges and to catch up what I have left behind. I look back and estimate that I probably wasted 4 months on doing something totally not related to the projects. What a shame!

It’s been a few days since my last update on July 28th about taking risks for big success. On August 1st, I found few of my blogger and forum friends joint so-called 30 Day Challenge program. It’s well known as Internet Marketing Training program to make you a success Internet Marketers. It’s a free training with the usage of their proprietary software.

Initially, I was not interested. So I did not take the challenge in 2008. I know it’s an very intense training that you have to learn so many thing in 30 days and make real money in 30 days. Why I decided to join?

One thing I have never really done in my life is taking huge risk. I believe I am too conservative in many cases. I was educated to save hard working money in the bank to earn little or no interest. It’s been that way for many years since I start my journey on my own.

Investing on high profitable items seem to be very risky to me. I was really hesitate to do anything, so I don’t lose anything. It turns out I don’t gain anything either. The more I read about successful entrepreneur stories, the more I believe they are risk takers.

Over an year ago, I asked myself the question: Are you ready to take off or to land? Be the pilot of your business plane!

What’s the reality now? I think I am still waiting to take off on the runway of my entrepreneur journey. Have I really learned anything at all?

I think I have learned many things, but I haven’t really earned anything. While pushing my project to the next milestones, I realized that I have made too many decisions with too much emotion in it.

Wife is in Hong Kong for a month. I guess I have lot’s time to get things move forward. Felt a little lonely without wife on my side.

Let me put my emotion aside and make another weekend confession.

There are few life lessons learned in the past 3 years. Most of them are related to the way I am thinking. It’s not necessary to what I have done in the past 3 years.
