“Thousands of geniuses live and die undiscovered – either by themselves or by others.” ~Mark Twain

Last time I encouraged you to set a small goal – to make $250 dollars per month from your online business – each and every month.  I still think this is a great goal and only the smallest percentage of people trying to make money online ever even make this goal a reality.  Wow – why?  I think it is because they are all going for the big quick score without doing the groundwork first.

It was interesting the huge number of tweets that I received yesterday promising overnight riches from online business.  (For those of you that are not yet on Twitter – a “tweet” is a 140 character micro-blog.  Twitter is becoming a force that must be taken into account and I will talk more about how and how not to use this service soon.)

Today, I just want you to think about your passions and your hobbies.  What do you love to do – not for money, but because you just love it?  Or think about it this way, if money was no concern, how would you honestly be spending your time?  This bit of self-analysis is critical for your future online success and is my suggested homework for you.  Look at what you love to do – even if you have never had time to do it and just write that down.  Next time I’ll talk about why this was important.

Till next time…Jack
