The Secret to a Prosperous Life, Online or Off - Part 2
My next discovery/conclusion was that, if I'm ever to succeed
in accomplishing my income goals online (or off line, for that matter),
I need to first of all decide EXACTLY what I want out of life and
what kind of income I'm trying to establish to fulfill those dreams,
so that I can conjure up a concrete mental picture of it.
