I did and I'm so happy I did. But you need to know that there are pitfalls to be avoided to save yourself both time and money.</p><p>I have spent literally a small fortune trying to learn how to get my own online business up and running. I've found myseslf crying at my desk, ready to give up in frustration. I don't want you to have to go through all that.</p><p>There is a heck of a lot to learn about this type of business and you've probably already been bombarded with offers from&nbsp; a zillion different &quot;experts&quot; who are more than willing to take your money and give you a few lessons. I jumped in with both feet.</p><p>Once I received the materials I almost gagged! I read everything but when it came to implementation I was stuck. Where do I go from here?</p><p>I bought a variety of software ( again heaps of dollars) but then didn't know what to do with it.</p><p>I bought domain names...now what?</p><p>I really, really struggled. So, then I'd buy another experts' stuff, hoping that this would be the answer and I got a lot of valuable information from these different courses and stuff but I was still struggling.</p><p>Then, all the emails started coming in. More and more offers. All looked good and they all said they had the &quot;secret&quot; to my success for my home online business. I almost felt like I had to get it or I would miss out, or I'd never have success.</p><p>I didn't know who to follow, who's advice to take and who to best help me start my home based online business. I was so confused.</p><p><strong>Hype or Help?</strong></p><p>Obviously, I was blinded by all the hype and looking for help! There would be one person telling me they made a fortune in a week and another a few thousand overnight!&nbsp;</p><p>You gotta admit all the hype can get the adrenalin flowing and the thoughts of big money fast can make you drool. <strong>Don't believe it for a minute!&nbsp;&nbsp; </strong>The only ones&nbsp; who'll get rich are those guys sucking you in.</p><p><strong>What Should You Do?&nbsp;</strong></p><p>First, understand that <strong>starting your own home based online business</strong> <strong>is a great idea</strong>, for any number of reasons which I can go into another day.</p><p>Secondly, learn from people who have gone before you. Learn from their mistakes so you don't have to do it.</p><p>Understand that a lot of VERY VALUABLE information is available from successful experts for FREE! There is often enough to get you started and even make a bit of money, all for free.</p><p>Understand that you will need to spend money to further your education and training.</p><p>Don't get distracted and try&nbsp; different paths at the same time. You won't be able to master anything, and you'll be very tempted to throw in the towel and quit.</p><p>Learn from my experiences and avoid many of the pitfalls that I managed to get into.</p><p>Find a mentor who you believe to be honest and responsible.&nbsp;</p><p>Remember that I, nor anyone else can make you rich or successful. You are responsible for your own success or failure.</p><p>What I can do for you is provide guidance and suggest to you the tools that I have found to be the most beneficial for me.</p><p>Starting and building your own <strong>home based online business</strong> can be simple when you know how but it is NOT EASY. It does take time, effort and yes, money to succeed.</p><p>You can be a success without having to spend a fortune like I have. Start with resources that are free, like the <a href="http://dsnetbiz.marketingmerge.com/start">Renegade University.&nbsp;</a> </p><p>Communicate with your Guide. In this case, it could be me or you might choose another. It's up to you. </p><p>Don't expect to make a fortune overnight. You are building an asset that will serve you years to come if you do it right.</p><p>Building an online home business is far LESS expensive than traditional businesses but there is no magic. No one is going to build your business for you.&nbsp;</p><p>Stay focused and keep your eye on what you want.</p><p>Explore your internet business options. What kind of business do you want?</p><p>If you have any questions about what you can do or need ideas, let me know.</p><p>You can&nbsp; email me: <strong>deborah@deborahmarsden.com</strong></p><p>If you want me to be your guide: <a href="http://dsnetbiz.marketingmerge.com/start">Register for Renegade <strong>U</strong>niversity Here</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><u><a href="http://www.attractionnetworker.com/networkmarketingshowmethemoney/">Show Me The Money&nbsp;</a></u></p><p><u><a href="http://www.attractionnetworker.com/7-reasons-network-marketers-ne/">&nbsp;Network Marketers Need Web 2.0 Social Networking Tools</a></u><br /></p><p><u><a href="http://www.attractionnetworker.com/attraction-marketing-network/">&nbsp;Attraction Marketing and Cockatoos</a></u><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.attractionnetworker.com/networkmarketingshowmethemoney/"><br /></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
