Online Prison Break

The cubical based corporate world is a virtual version of Prison Break. The hit NBC television series follows the lives of inmates who broke out of Fox River Penitentiary and are on the run.

Sure it’s just a show, but there are millions who would love to escape their cubical and work from home. Because of the low barriers to entry many people attempt to make money online. Only to get recaptured and return to the cubical because of failure.

So how can you better your chances for escape?

One: Have a Plan.

You can’t just wake up one day, walk in and quit, and start an online business. It takes planning. A blueprint. A map.

You have to know what market you will serve, the possible income from that market, and a long-term strategy for service and growth.

Two: Face the Challenges

Just like in Prison Break, plans do not go as…planned. There will be unexpected problems. People will fail you, domains will be taken, hosting will go offline. It’s just part of business.

Too many online entrepreneurs see perfection. They see the site, the email list, the sales process, the buyers, and the full bank account. They fail to see the advertising costs, setup fees, education investment and a dozen other areas that are needed to do business successfully online.

Three: Keep Running

Now in its third season the Prison Break boys (and girl) are on the run full throttle.

You can’t coast when making an escape, you have to hustle. Work hard. Push it beyond the limits.

But once again, what happens too often online? People buy into the dream of being lazy and making lots of money. From knowing many of the top online marketers, I can tell you this – they work HARD. They enjoy what they are doing so it doesn’t seem like work, but they are putting out the effort.

Are you wanting to escape from your job? Dreaming of an online business and making money from home? It’s possible, but it’s not as easy as everyone makes it out to be…
Have a plan, face the challenges and keep running if you want to make the great escape!
