Independence Day
July 3, 2008
Tomorrow is the 4th of July in the US, also known as Independence Day.
The US declared their independence from Great Britain July 4, 1776. Celebration here usually involves cookouts, get together, and lots of noisy glowing objects (fireworks).
A quote from the Declaration of Independence:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
Earn More. Work Less. Enjoy Life!
Have you had your own personal independence day yet?
I remember my independence day…the day I knew I never had to go back to delivering pizzas, selling satellite dishes door-to-door, or signing people up for credit cards in front of SEARS.
I knew I could really do this - run a profitable business online that took care of all my needs and supplied me with the lifestyle I wanted.
It’s not just about the money. It’s about the lifestyle.
What is it you love to do?
If you didn’t have to make a living, what would you spend your time doing each day?
Imagine the perfect day for you…

You might be in the same situation I was, working one dead end job after another, only going deeper in debt each month.
Many reports show that 60% of Americans have no savings at all. They’re one paycheck from being broke.
You may be one of them where you’re tied to your job…and sometimes it looks like there is no way out.
Or maybe you’re tied to your current lifestyle by golden handcuffs. The money is just too good. Those 60 hour work weeks are essential to the lifestyle you created for yourself. Or the success of that business you hate is holding you there where you simply can’t let go of the reins to release work to others.
Golden handcuffs are still handcuffs.
I want to encourage you today that, “Yes, you can do it.”
You can experience your own personal independence day.
Now I can’t promise you it will be easy. You’re going to have to stretch yourself. You’ll have to learn new skills. You’ll have to work very hard in the beginning to transform your life.
Freedom doesn’t come cheap.
Independence didn’t come cheap for those 4th of July celebrations. The cost was blood on both sides. It was a dire investment. And I’m thankful today for those who sacrificed.
You don’t have to invest as deeply as they did for us, but it will require an investment from you.
You have invest your attention. Instead of the TV, get into materials teaching you how to run your own business.
You have to invest your time. It takes consistent daily ACTION to make things happen. And it may not always happen quickly.
Offline businesses are willing to spend years just to get to break even. Yet many internet marketers expect to make a profit their very first week. It could happen, but I’d rather see you with a more practical long-term view for your business.
And it takes some money. You need training materials (but you don’t need everyone of those product launches). You’ll need to invest for hosting, autoresponder services, and possibly advertising.
Let’s kill that “Get Rich Quick” mentality once and for all.
An investment always comes before you receive your return on investment. You can’t harvest your crops until you plant them. It takes work to build an internet business, but that end goal of independence is worth it.
It’s time to celebrate!

I would like to wish our Southern friends a very Happy Independence Day since I live in Beautiful Canada.
I would also like to add that the “Get Rich Quick” concept of many people is one of the main reasons why people never succeed in any type of business, especially on the internet.
It took me about 4 and a half years to be where I am today ( Making a full time income online) but the wait and persistence did pay off.
Take care,
Tal
I like that. Personal Independence. Great food of thoughts for the day.
I am building a business. Every day will be personal independence day one day. Talking about giving up TV, I’ve done that about 10 years ago.
Excellent post and beautiful picture!
Happy 4th of July to everyone
A Happy 4th of July to everyone! The Independance Day is a great thought that I will focus on as my goal. Everyday will need to be my own Independance day until the full celebration takes place - My last day in Corporate World. One of the worst things that can happen to anyone, is to climb up the corporate ladder only to find out that it is leaning on the wrong wall. On a wall you never wanted to climb in the first place. So independance day sounds real good to me. And I am committed to the long term and the daily routine to get there.
Teach me more Terry Dean!
God BLess,
Tom

This post made me feel good about my hard work and plans for success. “Get Rich Quick” is never the answer to anything. Its that long road to success which makes success feel so good. I hope you are enjoying your success. I will enjoy mine whenever it comes.
The pursuit of success in a small business is a great feeling and I recommend it for anyone that hasn’t tried. Although frustrating at times, a small business is a great challenge and in most cases and definitely not a get rich strategy. Be prepared for the ups and downs and dedicating much of your free time for an indefinite period before you see any results. Keeping your fixed costs down too can also help you keep your sanity when starting out.
