So here i am at 2 am, reading through the success stories and in lack of money and i hereby ask....

Where should i start? And is there someone that can mentor?

I mean i understand i wont get 6 high figures in 1 month but a journey of 1000 miles begins with the first step.

I am still extremely doubtful of many of these story, making 6k a week sounds dream-like for a business like this.

a great place to start is by dabbling on someone elses time... that way you earn a living, have a salary but you can work towards being your own boss. here are some freebie eBooks to give you some ideas: http://www.bloggerhigh.com/ and before you splash out on anything else this guy is brillitant: http://www.maskedguru.com/

it is possible, just do you research and plan your strategy.

good luck!

I would suggest looking into many things before you start and talk to people on forums that are into the subject your interested in. The reason I am telling you this, it takes a lot of time and hours to create an income from a online business. I would suggest doing something that you enjoy and have some knowledge. If your going to dedicate your time into a business it works a whole lot better if you enjoy what your doing.

I own my own business and I only have to work half days - I simply get to pick which twelve hours I get to work

lol @ redneckmark. I was thinking the same thing.

We should start our own "how to become successful!" book...

In all honesty, with the way things are today..everybody wants to be rich. (Hey..money is awesome, right?)

But here you sit at night and think "I got a idea to become rich!"...chances are, 250,000+ people have already thought of it...and only 25,000+ have acted on it, and 2,500+ have actively kept with it, and only 10 have gotten rich off it.

You cant start a business nowadays with nothing out of pocket...

The old saying goes is, "It takes money to make money"....and its absolutely right.

Advertising, Equipment, Staff, Product, etc...all cost money. Now..Investors MIGHT be interested in your idea, and even give you some money for it...but they still want to see you put down atleast 1/2.

So you might sit there and think "Ok....i'll get $500,000 to make my business AWESOME!"...hey..500k would make any small business awesome.

So you go and see a investor, and they say Ok! $500k from us, ok, no problem...wheres your half?

*SHOCK* What do you mean? My Half?

Investors are basically matching your money..in turn they get X% profit for the term of the agreement.

You would have to make them believe that your idea is so frickin awesome...that it has to work...and the money they give will make it work.

So...to the original comment is this.

Dont worry about "Get rich quick" crap...go to college. Spend a few years to get a degree in the IT field, then make $100k+ a year in 5 or so years.

I would recommend researching what you want to do. There is a lot of free info on the web, you just need to find it. Find somewhere that will host a site for free and start there with a few ads from google.

start as you mean to go on!

I started on my own time, in poverty, with my own ideas, and spent years making all the mistakes I could so that one day I would learn how to make my business grow faster than China right in the middle of the worst recession in history.

No one I know inside a company has a comparable story to tell. Big wins are nothing - it's learning that's the key. Go on big brother, win 100k for sitting in a room for 8 weeks. It'll disappear, plus you'll never be able to get another 100k the same way.

Spend 7 years succeeding and failing, rising and falling, discovering how to make money and discovering even better ways to lose it all. In the end, you will be a capitalist my son/daughter.

Still, it's not the be all and end all of life. If you can find love, you're way better off. Given the choice between love and money, I would choose love. Luckily it's rarely a choice like that. You can usually have both.
