Alright

the

beginning

of

an

entirely

new

chapter

of

IWT

Im

ready

to

finally

talk

about

the

REQUESTED

IWT

TOPIC

OF

ALL

TIME

What

did

I

create

that

let

me

Share

my

experiences

and

the

things

I

LOVE

with

the

world

on

my

terms

being

authentic

and

never

watering

myself

down

Live

a

FUN

lifestyle

where

I

can

travel

meet

amazing

people

and

tell

ridiculous

storiesjokes

since

I

have

no

boss

Explore

all

kinds

of

interests

not

just

locking

myself

into

job

with

job

description

A

flexible

schedule

and

the

freedom

to

do

this

AUTOMATICALLY

since

Ive

built

systems

that

help

people

and

generate

income

even

when

Im

sleeping

And

while

helping

people

I

can

build

a

rich

life

to

fund

the

lifestyle

I

want

like

having

apartments

in

SF

and

NYC

taking

lastminute

weekend

vacations

paying

off

my

parents

debt

YES

Starting

now

Im

going

to

teach

you

how

to

start

an

online

business

IWT

style

Its

funny

because

for

years

Ive

told

you

I

didnt

want

to

teach

you

about

online

business

And

in

the

next

few

blog

posts

Ill

explain

why

now

is

the

time

to

share

this

But

as

usual

we

wont

be

following

the

typical

expert

advice

out

there

Were

not

going

to

pray

to

the

passive

income

gods

and

sell

a

ebook

and

wait

months

to

earn

If

you

want

Ill

share

real

stories

of

the

passive

income

crowd

and

how

much

they

really

earn

that

will

blow

your

mind

if

you

just

cant

wait

to

get

started

Ultimate

And

were

not

going

to

be

sitting

around

a

fire

singing

hymns

and

looking

to

heaven

for

inspiration

and

motivation

You

know

things

that

make

us

feel

good

but

actually

dont

create

a

solid

profitable

online

business

We

ARE

going

to

learn

the

exact

system

Ive

used

to

start

a

successful

online

business

one

that

lets

you

take

whats

inside

of

you

and

share

it

with

the

world

including

How

to

generate

an

idea

that

will

pay

the

deep

Nobody

outside

of

my

seen

these

before

But

you

will

Why

Because

I

want

to

show

you

the

truth

about

starting

a

successful

online

business

Unlike

the

unscrupulous

marketers

whose

entire

business

is

creating

ebooks

about

creating

ebooks

Ive

spent

years

teaching

core

topics

of

personal

finance

careers

negotiation

and

psychology

And

quietly

along

the

way

Ive

been

building

a

business

that

gives

away

of

my

material

freebut

still

allows

me

to

build

premium

products

and

charge

premium

prices

Why

do

students

keep

coming

back

Why

do

they

buy

at

a

rate

higher

than

prospects

Ill

share

how

I

do

it

and

how

you

can

too

How

to

build

something

FUN

When

you

crack

the

code

of

starting

an

online

business

you

can

take

what

you

love

bottle

it

up

and

share

it

with

the

world

automatically

for

years

to

come

This

isnt

drudgery

Imagine

a

life

built

around

doing

what

you

love

LOOK

AT

MY

FACE

The

only

known

photo

in

existence

of

me

dancing

Btw

this

was

taken

over

a

weekend

where

my

business

automatically

generated

tens

of

thousands

of

dollars

Yeah

Ill

show

you

how

If

youre

good

Theres

no

substitute

for

the

joy

of

sharing

your

passions

with

the

world

Here

look

what

I

mean

This

And

all

the

all

the

all

the

hes

put

into

they

come

to

a

crescendo

at

this

moment

Hes

truly

in

Think

about

how

it

would

feel

to

have

the

respect

of

your

friends

your

parents

your

girlfriendboyfriend

even

complete

strangers

when

you

launch

something

and

get

your

first

email

Wow

this

is

amazing

Thank

you

for

creating

it

And

you

see

that

they

cared

enough

to

actually

pull

out

their

wallet

and

pay

you

for

something

you

created

for

the

world

This

payment

came

while

I

was

eating

a

late

lunch

on

Friday

My

systems

handled

the

All

automatically

Its

the

difference

between

being

a

CONSUMER

and

a

PRODUCER

Its

the

difference

between

reacting

to

what

life

throws

at

you

versus

actively

building

the

life

you

want

to

live

A

lot

of

us

are

ready

to

make

that

change

Were

willing

to

put

the

work

in

if

it

means

well

get

a

result

from

it

Not

a

couple

pennies

or

a

pat

on

the

back

but

REAL

results

You

can

Its

not

a

pipe

dream

Its

possible

and

Ive

been

quietly

documenting

how

to

do

it

for

years

Now

its

time

to

share

that

playbook

with

you

What

Im

going

to

cover

in

the

next

blog

posts

on

online

business

Were

going

to

move

fast

and

cover

a

lot

And

along

the

way

Im

going

to

ask

you

some

tough

questions

For

example

a

lot

of

you

claim

you

want

to

start

an

online

business

So

why

havent

you

Anyone

can

talk

about

what

they

want

to

do

Are

you

serious

or

are

you

just

waiting

for

some

day

Oh

you

wanted

me

to

comfort

you

while

stroking

your

hair

and

singing

you

a

bedtime

song

Maybe

Im

projecting

with

the

stroking

hair

thing

but

do

you

see

me

posting

inspirational

quote

boards

I

didnt

think

so

We

move

fast

and

we

move

aggressively

If

you

dont

like

that

sorry

but

I

refuse

to

pander

to

the

lowest

common

denominator

and

give

you

BS

advice

that

makes

you

feel

good

but

produces

no

measurable

results

If

you

choose

keep

Mental

barriers

to

an

online

business

Why

do

so

many

of

us

dream

about

starting

an

online

business

even

reading

Seth

Godin

and

Lifehacker

but

we

havent

done

it

yet

Is

it

possible

theres

more

holding

us

back

than

just

wondering

what

blog

software

to

use

and

where

to

find

an

idea

What

would

happen

if

we

could

master

our

inner

psychology

And

now

Im

opening

up

spots

on

the

waiting

list

to

join

my

newest

and

most

comprehensive

all

This

the

best

Ive

online

business

But

more

on

this

For

now

were

going

to

cover

the

thorny

issues

of

starting

a

business

Where

do

you

come

up

with

an

idea

How

do

you

get

people

to

actually

visit

your

website

Why

would

anyone

pay

attention

to

you

when

there

are

hundreds

of

other

competitors

And

once

you

find

that

idea

how

do

you

package

it

and

price

it

and

systematically

market

it

in

a

way

that

sells

once

twice

and

for

years

to

come

I

mentioned

this

wont

be

a

cakewalk

In

The

idea

that

I

could

build

a

business

around

something

that

I

love

and

doesnt

need

to

me

in

order

to

be

successful

is

incredibly

attractive

Not

having

a

boss

is

exciting

Knowing

that

my

effort

in

does

not

have

a

linear

relationship

to

the

potential

revenue

that

comes

out

is

thrilling

What

most

excites

me

is

the

idea

of

being

successful

enough

to

allow

my

family

live

a

life

of

wealth

and

still

BE

THERE

to

enjoy

that

life

with

them

Executives

Very

excited

to

find

your

Ramit

refreshing

take

on

creating

a

lasting

value

to

not

only

online

business

owners

but

to

provide

REAL

value

to

their

customers

So

much

fluff

out

there

I

want

to

provide

income

for

my

family

that

means

something

to

others

as

well

Looking

forward

to

a

journey

Samantha

The

most

exciting

thing

about

starting

an

online

business

is

the

possibility

of

financial

freedom

doing

something

I

love

to

do

Not

many

people

get

the

opportunity

to

make

money

AND

like

doing

their

jobs

Lois

My

sentiments

are

very

similiar

to

Jamess

I

am

closer

to

retirement

from

my

job

however

I

would

like

to

be

able

to

still

provide

for

my

family

without

having

to

rely

on

a

job

That

way

I

can

spend

time

with

them

instead

of

spending

time

at

a

workplace

I

may

not

be

as

young

as

most

people

who

want

to

start

an

online

business

however

that

doesnt

mean

I

dont

have

the

drive

or

desire

to

do

it

Shawn

I

agree

Omar

Z

Phillips

The

reason

it

excites

me

to

be

able

to

earn

a

living

on

line

is

the

concept

of

being

able

to

do

what

I

was

truly

put

on

earth

to

do

to

use

the

gifts

within

me

and

realise

my

potential

There

are

emotions

and

stresses

associated

with

providing

for

a

family

which

are

impounded

by

unappreciative

employers

and

as

the

years

roll

on

the

call

to

live

a

purposeful

life

gets

stronger

yet

feels

prohibited

for

a

lack

of

finance

So

genuinely

being

able

to

make

a

living

online

while

branding

myself

with

authenticity

is

a

dream

I

wish

Casey

Operating

my

own

business

is

an

exciting

concept

Ive

always

felt

off

about

making

a

sliver

off

the

wealth

of

money

coming

into

the

companies

Ive

worked

for

Breaking

your

back

for

pennies

on

the

dollar

has

always

left

a

bad

taste

in

my

mouth

To

be

the

sole

beneficiary

of

all

the

work

done

and

growing

a

business

to

the

point

of

possibly

needing

employees

all

sounds

very

exciting

to

me

Camrin

What

excites

me

most

about

having

an

online

business

is

to

have

a

secondary

source

of

income

that

can

be

used

to

boost

my

savings

and

investments

as

well

as

give

me

more

guilt

free

money

What

most

excited

me

about

having

an

online

business

is

the

possibility

to

be

my

own

boss

and

be

able

to

create

passive

income

Kaps

Most

exciting

part

is

having

time

to

look

after

myself

What

James

said

I

would

love

to

be

able

to

earn

my

own

scaleable

income

and

not

have

to

rely

on

a

company

to

employ

me

to

make

it

in

the

world

Ive

been

in

my

current

field

for

years

and

have

hit

the

income

ceiling

for

my

degree

and

level

of

experience

without

going

back

to

school

or

hanging

in

there

for

another

years

hoping

to

get

into

management

Im

ready

to

take

my

life

and

career

into

my

own

hands

and

create

my

own

path

AL

Jones

The

most

exciting

thing

about

starting

my

own

online

business

by

far

is

the

possibility

of

financial

freedom

If

successful

it

would

open

up

doors

to

a

world

that

only

existed

in

my

dreams

For

my

generation

millennial

it

almost

feels

like

starting

your

own

business

is

our

only

option

because

the

job

market

is

shrinking

Opportunities

are

scarce

thus

I

want

to

be

the

person

that

finds

a

way

to

provide

opportunity

for

myself

and

others

than

wait

for

someone

to

decide

to

take

a

chance

on

me

Evan

I

am

excited

to

learn

how

to

start

an

online

business

for

many

reasons

financial

independence

peace

of

mind

ie

not

worrying

about

money

learning

something

new

and

enjoying

life

I

hope

this

opportunity

will

be

fruitful

and

I

can

make

progress

towards

those

goals

Jack

What

excites

me

most

is

that

I

can

live

a

successful

life

that

pays

me

well

and

I

can

be

free

of

a

burden

from

a

normal

job

but

still

make

a

solid

amount

of

money

One

of

the

main

purposes

I

am

doing

this

is

to

buy

my

dream

car

a

Lamborghini

Aventador

and

other

luxurious

things

with

time

I

am

hoping

that

with

your

help

I

can

be

as

successful

as

I

want

and

plan

on

being

Thank

you

Jack

Brian

The

thing

that

most

excites

me

about

this

versus

strictly

real

estate

investment

is

the

ability

to

teach

and

help

others

as

well

as

the

ability

to

create

an

income

stream

that

is

location

independent

Rigoberto

James

this

is

awesome

well

said

to

allow

my

family

live

a

life

of

BE

THERE

life

with

them

Alberto

Antonio

The

most

exciting

thing

about

online

business

is

the

fact

of

having

a

job

that

lets

you

do

whatever

whenever

you

please

Thats

exciting

but

also

everything

that

comes

with

it

the

luxurious

life

the

quality

time

you

spend

with

your

family

and

friends

being

able

to

make

more

with

less

and

being

selfsufficient

feeling

alive

and

having

fun

The

idea

of

my

is

really

exciting

I

up

my

children

One

step

closer

James

Having

my

own

business

would

allow

me

to

focus

on

what

I

am

passionate

about

and

give

me

more

time

to

be

with

my

loved

ones

I

would

be

my

own

boss

and

all

the

work

and

effort

I

go

to

would

directly

help

me

rather

than

someone

else

I

want

to

help

the

world

in

my

unique

way

and

having

an

online

business

would

enable

me

to

do

that

Lauren

I

dont

want

to

be

that

invested

much

time

in

exchange

for

a

little

money

I

am

special

and

mentally

trained

Im

not

worth

a

minimum

salary

and

Im

on

this

earth

to

fulfill

my

dreams

and

have

the

possibility

to

have

time

and

money

to

devote

to

my

family

if

they

are

happy

Iam

happy

that

my

satisfaction

that

is

the

most

exciting

thing

to

have

an

online

bussiness

Phillip

Im

very

excited

about

furthering

my

online

presence

through

multiple

businesses

that

can

be

equally

challenging

but

diverse

in

their

own

respects

Kamarques

Being

able

to

do

something

I

enjoy

and

putting

hardworking

into

something

thats

my

own

This

will

help

build

a

better

future

for

me

and

my

family

Patrick

It

excites

me

to

make

automated

income

Its

like

farming

finance

your

crops

can

be

growing

even

when

you

are

not

watering

them

Of

course

you

must

look

after

them

and

take

care

but

if

you

do

it

right

the

crops

revenue

can

grow

with

minimal

supervision

and

you

can

watch

the

process

I

am

excited

participate

in

my

own

wealth

rather

than

relying

on

an

employer

to

feed

me

What

I

find

most

exciting

about

the

possibility

of

running

my

own

online

business

is

what

it

will

bring

to

everyone

else

It

will

allow

me

to

give

more

of

my

time

to

my

family

to

my

schooling

And

hopefully

it

will

give

customers

great

satisfaction

with

whatever

product

or

service

I

will

hopefully

be

providing

Frank

Just

want

to

be

my

own

boss

and

enjoy

life

with

wonderful

family

and

friends

The

idea

of

having

online

business

just

executes

me

the

more

because

at

least

I

will

achieving

something

in

my

life

which

I

can

say

was

all

my

efforts

Wanting

to

help

has

been

something

with

me

from

childhood

and

will

like

accomplish

to

a

life

with

satisfactionWant

to

enjoy

my

life

and

have

time

for

my

family

so

pls

share

with

me

One

thing

is

that

I

dont

have

a

website

any

idea

about

that

also

thanks

Mamta

The

most

exciting

this

for

me

is

building

and

maintain

a

reputation

Inspiring

others

that

they

can

Dare

to

be

Differentand

work

hard

to

accomplish

their

goals

that

were

once

a

just

a

dream

and

be

successful

at

the

same

time

No

need

to

work

a

boring

job

just

for

money

Monika

My

whole

life

I

have

envisioned

myself

making

million

dollars

It

was

never

a

dream

it

was

a

vision

of

my

future

I

saw

who

I

was

meant

to

serve

what

I

was

going

to

do

who

I

would

be

doing

it

with

and

much

of

it

has

to

do

with

sharing

the

lessons

and

traumas

I

have

been

through

in

my

life

and

the

psychology

behind

what

makes

business

life

and

relationships

work

It

has

never

been

hard

for

me

to

understand

people

and

get

related

to

their

unspoken

truths

and

unmet

expectations

and

their

denial

about

what

Having

an

online

business

means

access

Access

to

people

to

audiences

that

I

otherwise

would

have

no

connection

to

or

relationships

with

Through

the

interactions

with

the

virtual

relationships

people

can

hide

who

they

are

and

what

they

dofor

a

little

bit

But

for

people

to

reveal

themselves

and

stop

denying

who

they

are

is

my

greatest

dream

So

many

of

the

people

I

coach

come

to

me

because

they

forget

why

they

were

born

and

chalk

their

life

up

to

unrealized

goals

and

blame

everything

they

can

for

why

they

never

were

able

to

fulfill

their

reason

for

being

born

My

mission

is

to

stop

this

eradicate

it

completely

and

I

know

it

will

happen

I

just

dont

see

enough

people

really

ready

to

take

it

on

and

it

is

a

priority

for

me

in

this

lifetime

An

online

business

will

allow

me

to

help

people

see

their

unique

gifts

Through

my

online

business

people

will

to

see

their

greatness

be

their

greatness

and

pay

it

forward

An

online

business

will

allow

that

movement

to

become

viral

and

that

opportunity

for

people

to

grasp

it

viable

for

the

masses

I

am

here

to

change

the

planet

and

why

not

start

with

the

billion

people

who

relative

to

the

creatures

on

the

planet

I

am

most

like

lolly

Lilly

I

am

exited

about

the

confidence

this

adventure

will

give

me

to

go

as

far

as

I

can

with

my

many

ideas

Being

able

Caleb

Tomlinson

The

most

exciting

feeling

my

new

business

will

provide

me

will

be

the

opportunities

to

interact

on

a

spiritual

and

personal

level

with

peoples

from

all

over

the

world

and

the

chance

to

experience

some

of

their

cultures

while

reading

for

them

Matthew

I

have

read

many

of

the

other

comments

and

realized

we

all

have

a

lot

in

common

The

thing

that

excites

me

the

most

is

the

same

as

almost

everyone

else

Starting

an

online

business

to

be

independent

and

being

able

to

do

what

I

love

for

the

rest

of

my

life

I

have

always

hated

the

idea

of

having

a

job

where

I

go

to

bed

loathing

the

idea

of

waking

up

in

the

morning

because

I

have

to

go

to

work

Although

I

know

it

will

take

a

lot

of

work

I

am

prepared

to

do

whatever

I

Melissa

My

main

reason

for

wanting

my

own

online

business

is

to

share

my

love

of

cooking

without

having

a

brick

and

mortar

restaurant

It

will

also

allow

me

to

share

my

passion

with

others

as

I

guide

them

to

delicious

food

without

high

prices

Besides

I

would

be

able

to

travel

and

experience

different

cuisines

around

the

world

to

incorporate

into

my

business

And

of

course

the

ability

to

change

my

life

from

where

I

am

now

Not

workingonly

getting

temp

jobs

Financial

freedom

and

being

selfreliant

is

my

goal

Raimonds

Vanags

The

most

exciting

thing

in

my

opinion

about

starting

an

online

business

is

the

ability

to

work

on

your

own

terms

and

exposing

yourself

to

the

possible

oportunities

that

are

coming

My

big

Loraine

To

me

the

most

exciting

thing

about

building

a

business

is

the

challenge

The

journey

The

feeling

you

get

when

you

can

finally

say

I

made

it

And

you

love

it

Also

not

having

to

work

for

somebody

else

You

are

your

own

boss

You

make

the

rules

You

make

everything

happen

Being

financially

free

Its

incredibly

satisfying

just

to

think

about

it

Alexandria

Harden

I

think

the

idea

of

my

online

business

excites

me

in

that

something

that

I

love

can

actually

help

others

and

be

financially

beneficial

I

love

helping

others

and

if

an

idea

of

mine

could

give

others

hope

or

find

them

a

more

efficient

way

of

living

that

would

make

it

all

worth

it

many

people

get

to

opportunity

always

loved

feeling

had

no

time

i

loved

And

whats

without

freedom

Kieran

My

first

venture

is

to

Failure

an

and

build

a

reputation

and

to

help

others

achieve

it

and

live

their

life

they

deserve

Jillian

Im

excited

about

freedom

to

choose

my

journey

and

do

something

I

love

every

day

I

agree

with

getting

rid

of

marketing

fluff

and

adding

value

which

is

why

I

want

to

start

on

my

own

Alex

The

most

exciting

part

of

my

business

idea

is

the

opportunities

that

it

will

open

beyond

the

initial

idea

believe

in

the

power

of

ideas

that

create

more

options

What

excites

me

most

about

the

it

when

I

want

and

the

knowledge

that

I

am

work

love

I

make

Hey

Ive

done

so

many

different

courses

so

much

knowledge

in

Im

not

I

may

to

utilize

that

knowledge

to

build

a

life

that

I

feel

comfortable

and

happy

with

and

be

proud

to

lead

too

Building

an

online

business

can

be

just

that

I

can

challenge

myself

and

help

others

to

learn

how

to

challenge

themselves

in

the

process

a

Lets

face

it

the

the

this

global

connection

Its

a

pretty

big

deal

Ignoring

the

power

of

this

sheer

My

first

experience

with

an

online

business

was

arbitrage

and

I

wouldnt

do

that

again

because

it

was

a

lot

of

work

for

little

profit

I

still

want

to

create

a

business

but

this

time

around

I

want

something

that

could

lead

to

fulltime

income

and

more

freedom

The

thing

that

was

excites

me

about

an

online

business

is

being

able

to

make

more

money

with

less

physical

effort

I

once

had

a

day

in

online

sales

which

I

know

is

small

change

for

others

but

that

would

take

me

a

week

with

overtime

to

make

at

my

job

It

doesnt

how

efficient

how

many

Good

comment

The

concept

of

leverage

is

something

well

dive

into

In

other

words

when

I

recently

doubled

my

revenue

I

didnt

work

twice

as

hard

I

used

the

leverage

of

systems

instead

something

thats

possible

with

a

successful

online

business

On

the

other

hand

Ill

also

steer

you

clear

of

BS

businesses

that

can

make

you

a

small

amount

but

dont

add

any

real

value

to

the

world

and

thus

are

doomed

over

the

long

term

Melody

Lovvorn

I

want

to

create

products

around

what

I

am

passionate

about

and

that

is

walking

with

women

after

they

have

discovered

betrayal

and

help

them

move

forward

with

through

the

pain

and

on

with

their

lives

after

betrayal

I

also

realize

I

am

only

one

person

and

recreating

myself

with

a

products

can

help

thousands

of

people

at

the

same

time

instead

of

me

helping

one

I

am

about

Lisa

I

get

really

excited

when

I

think

about

the

possibility

of

making

a

healthy

living

impact

in

the

lives

of

tens

of

thousands

of

people

over

the

course

of

my

life

as

a

fitness

expert

rather

than

just

a

few

hundred

Live

inperson

training

is

extremely

satisfying

and

seeing

how

youve

taught

people

feel

to

take

care

of

themselves

and

feel

better

in

their

bodies

but

it

is

mindblowing

when

you

get

that

you

can

have

that

impact

and

never

have

met

someone

before

Also

the

freedom

to

be

able

to

do

it

from

anywhere

out

of

in

is

almost

to

awesome

to

grasp

Im

really

looking

forward

to

this

thanks

for

What

excites

me

most

about

an

online

business

is

the

freedom

to

work

on

my

hours

and

in

my

space

I

love

to

share

my

ideas

and

insights

with

an

audience

that

seeks

to

be

informed

and

hold

a

conversation

about

the

matters

that

get

my

passion

going

as

well

Freedom

of

time

and

place

however

are

ESSENTIAL

to

my

happiness

and

productivity

Ramit

Sethi

All

of

these

are

good

things

But

notice

how

theyre

mostly

mefocused

freedom

passion

etc

Well

cover

those

But

well

also

cover

how

to

create

something

the

market

will

pay

for

Ultimately

the

most

respectful

thing

you

can

do

is

create

something

they

value

so

much

that

theyre

willing

to

pay

for

it

That

takes

psychology

and

marketing

Nina

What

excites

me

most

is

the

FREEDOM

to

do

what

I

want

how

I

want

when

I

want

I

remember

a

few

years

back

my

Mother

had

a

nervous

breakdown

and

I

had

to

fight

tooth

and

nail

to

get

the

time

off

After

that

day

I

vowed

I

would

never

let

that

happen

again

Family

and

loved

ones

always

come

before

a

Needless

to

say

that

Starting

an

online

business

and

having

an

online

business

that

successfully

generates

a

higher

income

from

my

foundry

job

It

excites

me

that

I

will

get

what

I

put

into

it

No

boss

to

ask

off

work

And

the

startup

money

sound

likes

it

wouldnt

be

a

crazy

wait

to

start

open

up

my

and

learn

a

new

way

Thank

you

Aleks

Very

similar

to

James

because

I

work

in

consulting

at

a

big

company

and

am

not

sure

the

lifestyle

is

sustainable

or

even

attractive

since

now

I

have

a

baby

and

want

to

spend

more

time

with

Flexibility

Freedom

Stewart

Rogers

For

me

the

excitement

would

come

from

seeing

what

others

do

with

the

knowledge

and

tools

I

give

them

Theres

nothing

quite

like

giving

knowledge

away

and

seeing

others

prosper

because

of

that

right

Ramit

Leo

Agree

with

Stewart

To

see

how

much

of

a

positive

impact

you

have

on

others

And

to

be

able

to

know

that

youve

helped

them

tremendously

not

only

with

finances

but

with

every

aspect

of

their

lives

To

me

that

is

the

ultimate

satisfaction

No

can

replace

that

Maria

The

most

exciting

thing

about

owning

my

own

online

business

would

be

the

freedom

to

do

the

things

I

want

to

do

I

will

be

able

to

learn

new

skills

and

techniques

on

my

own

terms

without

having

to

go

through

a

corporate

hierarchy

and

Ill

be

able

to

apply

those

skills

right

away

to

job

that

I

truly

want

to

do

Ill

be

able

to

focus

on

the

things

that

truly

matter

to

me

Kate

D

The

freedom

to

work

on

projects

I

love

excites

me

Id

like

to

share

with

others

lessons

that

Ive

learned

I

would

like

to

have

the

flexibility

to

quit

my

full

time

job

for

a

few

years

without

dropping

to

zero

income

Derm

The

most

exciting

thing

about

an

online

business

for

me

is

knowing

that

whatever

it

is

I

do

is

competing

in

a

global

marketplace

To

succeed

there

is

a

great

achievement

Yes

the

lifestyle

benefits

are

attractive

as

well

PS

I

love

the

comments

Ramit

Youre

like

a

kid

in

a

candy

store

I

have

often

read

your

comments

and

thought

you

were

saying

good

job

or

similar

as

you

wrote

You

sound

like

today

you

are

mentally

highfiving

the

other

commenters

and

nearly

dancing

in

front

of

your

computer

If

youre

this

excited

the

material

must

be

awesome

Ramit

Sethi

You

are

right

I

feel

something

rare

running

through

my

body

Is

this

an

emotion

I

dont

know

Adelina

What

Im

most

excited

about

is

being

able

to

finally

reach

some

if

not

all

my

goals

Having

student

loans

but

still

havent

finished

sucks

I

cant

wait

to

learn

new

ideas

and

getting

started

RB

What

excites

me

the

most

about

an

online

business

is

the

opportunity

to

passively

generate

extra

revenue

on

a

flexible

schedule

Joycelyn

The

idea

of

freedom

is

a

huge

plus

for

me

I

also

look

forward

to

the

idea

of

having

something

thats

MINE

Something

that

I

have

created

and

made

successful

on

my

own

Jamie

Most

exciting

being

able

to

reach

my

specific

audience

that

NEEDS

to

hear

my

message

and

information

I

know

that

these

individuals

are

out

there

but

with

personal

training

only

in

person

I

am

limiting

my

audience

to

my

immediate

location

Daniel

What

excites

me

is

what

it

would

mean

for

my

life

today

It

would

add

so

much

value

in

terms

of

time

and

flexibility

which

means

I

can

work

at

things

not

worrying

abt

he

opportunity

cost

of

my

time

It

would

add

so

much

more

meaning

and

purpose

to

my

daily

life

because

what

Im

doing

is

directly

correlated

to

investing

in

myself

And

as

I

invest

in

myself

I

would

be

able

to

help

others

as

well

Cant

give

to

others

what

you

dont

have

It

would

also

mean

I

can

quit

my

full

time

position

not

because

I

dont

like

it

but

because

my

main

money

maker

would

be

my

business

It

also

excites

me

because

Ill

be

overcoming

a

lot

of

fears

I

have

concerning

myself

Fear

of

failure

fear

of

rejection

and

other

insecurities

that

try

to

plague

me

But

whether

these

lies

do

their

work

well

or

not

is

up

to

me

and

how

I

respond

to

it

not

react

to

it

Thanks

for

prompting

these

great

questions

Ramit

R

Being

able

to

work

at

creating

a

business

that

I

believe

in

enjoy

and

also

provides

for

all

that

Id

like

to

have

in

life

is

exciting

to

me

Michael

The

most

exciting

aspect

is

the

freedom

and

getting

rifle

of

all

the

garbage

and

noise

that

detract

money

away

from

my

main

goals

Passive

income

would

be

very

useful

especially

as

a

student

keen

student

of

observing

startups

I

havent

started

a

business

yet

Im

in

this

position

However

Im

keen

to

find

out

more

about

what

Ramit

has

to

say

about

his

program

Chris

Building

something

that

can

reach

so

many

people

and

transcend

the

normal

workday

with

respect

to

time

is

exciting

I

feel

that

the

potential

of

this

is

worth

the

challenge

Anne

My

parents

worked

so

hard

to

support

my

sister

and

I

growing

up

and

putting

us

thought

college

While

I

would

love

the

freedom

and

flexibility

a

online

business

would

give

me

being

able

to

help

them

out

as

they

retire

would

mean

so

much

to

me

Stephanie

I

totally

agree

Anne

Kathy

The

most

exciting

thing

about

starting

an

online

business

is

that

I

have

something

to

share

that

I

know

will

help

people

Getting

paid

while

doing

something

I

love

that

has

helped

someone

else

is

the

ultimate

goal

It

goes

beyond

getting

paid

for

a

task

or

expertise

It

has

long

lasting

impact

Richard

Being

able

to

leverage

my

time

The

ability

to

reach

a

huge

audience

which

is

exponentially

bigger

than

if

you

stick

to

just

your

location

The

possibility

of

relocating

to

where

you

want

to

without

the

fear

of

needing

to

find

a

new

job

commute

times

starting

from

scratch

etc

Having

multiple

areas

of

income

and

being

able

to

establish

yourself

as

an

expert

and

charge

more

for

premium

services

Cheers

Ramit

Richard

Bas

Just

like

Aleks

I

am

in

consulting

and

I

have

a

newborn

son

which

I

dont

get

to

see

as

often

as

Id

like

A

successful

online

business

would

give

me

the

freedom

to

pursue

my

dreams

which

unsurprisingly

dont

include

slaving

away

behind

a

computer

and

a

desk

for

hours

per

week

mainly

for

someone

elses

benefit

and

share

meaningful

time

with

my

wife

and

son

while

doing

the

things

Id

love

to

do

Very

excited

to

see

what

material

you

will

present

in

the

days

to

come

Jacques

Botha

What

excites

me

most

about

an

online

business

is

definitely

doing

what

you

love

and

being

able

to

reached

or

help

on

a

global

scale

I

also

like

the

idea

of

having

more

freedom

Spending

more

time

with

family

and

doing

stuff

we

like

doing

and

when

every

we

want

Ramit

Sethi

I

like

this

In

college

I

used

to

say

I

want

to

have

the

voice

of

Now

million

Its

exciting

to

know

you

can

create

something

worldclass

and

share

it

with

hundreds

or

thousands

or

even

more

people

Laura

Ive

spent

many

years

working

in

someone

elses

business

and

I

am

ready

to

get

out

there

and

create

my

own

brand

The

freedom

that

comes

with

stepping

into

your

own

power

doing

your

own

thing

and

really

creating

your

own

life

is

something

that

appeals

to

me

If

you

run

a

business

online

you

have

to

be

on

your

toes

constantly

learning

keeping

up

with

trends

and

technologies

and

this

part

of

it

also

excites

me

You

can

build

a

supportive

tribe

and

community

You

choose

how

to

spend

your

time

whether

thats

with

your

family

and

friends

or

Eric

One

of

the

biggest

things

for

me

is

the

money

I

know

it

sounds

pretty

selfish

compared

to

some

other

responses

here

but

thats

my

biggest

issue

right

now

I

know

most

of

your

readers

are

pretty

comfortable

but

Im

stuck

at

a

minimumwage

job

living

with

my

parents

and

its

quite

discouraging

I

would

love

the

freedom

of

starting

my

own

business

and

being

in

control

Personally

Id

love

working

for

myself

as

well

Ramit

Sethi

I

think

thats

honest

But

my

first

question

would

be

why

dont

you

focus

on

getting

a

better

job

first

Thats

much

more

straightforward

than

starting

an

online

business

Eric

Williams

I

do

get

a

thrill

out

of

waking

up

in

the

morning

and

seeing

that

Ive

made

a

few

bucks

The

possibilities

of

scaling

that

excite

me

Carlen

Same

here

Im

close

to

earning

my

first

online

and

its

so

exciting

The

learning

curve

has

been

huge

but

now

that

I

have

those

skills

all

I

have

to

do

is

scale

up

Dana

i

enjoy

my

current

job

but

i

know

that

my

earning

potential

is

limited

there

I

feel

that

the

beauty

of

an

online

business

that

i

start

myself

is

that

it

has

no

limitations

that

it

can

scale

with

me

if

done

correctly

Starting

an

online

business

thats

automatic

is

the

crucial

appeal

to

me

The

possibility

of

starting

a

business

online

that

does

not

require

me

to

stop

what

i

am

currently

doing

for

now

but

has

the

capability

of

being

my

primary

source

of

income

down

the

line

is

exciting

Bryce

What

most

excites

me

about

an

online

business

is

that

since

law

school

Ive

had

an

entrepreneurial

itch

but

Im

too

burdened

by

debts

and

too

riskaverse

to

risk

borrowing

capital

to

start

a

business

when

I

dont

have

any

solid

ideas

for

such

a

business

yet

Im

hoping

for

help

developing

a

business

idea

and

Im

hoping

that

doing

it

online

will

minimize

the

capital

risk

on

this

first

experiment

Joelle

What

excites

me

is

the

idea

of

having

the

flexibility

to

do

little

things

like

go

for

breakfast

during

the

week

walk

my

puppy

during

the

day

spending

daylight

hours

outside

actually

enjoying

it

instead

of

experiencing

it

through

a

window

Ramit

Sethi

YES

I

agree

This

is

one

of

my

favorite

things

about

a

successful

online

business

I

go

to

the

gym

in

the

middle

of

the

day

take

naps

when

I

want

take

a

weekend

to

go

skiingbut

I

also

work

hard

Valerie

Joelle

I

completely

agree

Do

I

love

the

idea

of

taking

vacations

or

long

weekend

trips

more

often

Absolutely

but

its

the

smaller

day

to

day

experiences

that

I

really

want

to

be

available

to

enjoy

Well

said

Mark

Freedom

and

flexibility

For

sure

I

think

with

more

income

Ill

have

more

time

and

with

more

time

I

can

purse

the

things

that

I

want

to

pursue

Personally

I

like

languages

Paul

My

own

experience

is

very

small

Ive

sold

some

old

video

games

on

Amazon

My

wife

runs

a

shipping

business

out

of

our

apartment

and

she

has

a

website

but

the

work

can

not

be

done

remotely

What

excites

me

about

an

online

business

is

the

ability

to

do

the

work

from

almost

anywhere

The

freedom

to

travel

and

live

outside

of

the

typical

buy

a

house

and

commute

paradigm

would

really

be

a

dream

come

true

Thanks

Ramit

this

course

sounds

great

Eric

Im

truly

excited

at

the

prospect

of

learning

how

to

do

this

in

a

meaningful

and

honest

way

from

someone

who

is

truly

successful

at

it

The

freedom

to

travel

and

meet

other

interesting

people

is

a

great

motivator

but

also

Id

be

pretty

stoked

if

I

was

able

to

use

that

freedom

to

help

others

achieve

the

same

thing

too

Kelly

Id

like

a

do

overon

my

online

business

I

let

personal

things

distract

me

the

first

go

around

and

Ive

never

stopped

wondering

what

might

have

happened

if

I

hadnt

give

up

I

was

doing

well

but

needed

to

commit

more

time

and

resources

and

instead

I

walked

away

Regret

it

Every

day

Joseph

As

a

real

estate

investor

I

know

the

value

of

passive

income

It

is

the

true

way

to

wealth

and

freedom

Except

there

is

nothing

passive

about

real

estate

investing

You

have

to

manage

the

day

to

day

or

people

take

advantage

This

is

a

lesson

I

learned

For

me

starting

an

online

business

will

afford

me

the

opportunity

to

change

peoples

lives

More

importantly

it

will

allow

me

to

give

more

Give

more

time

money

and

resources

to

ministry

that

I

am

passionate

about

will

afford

me

the

ability

to

send

my

mom

to

Thailand

her

home

country

to

live

out

her

final

days

as

royalty

It

will

allow

and

afford

me

to

pass

on

In

What

excites

me

The

concept

of

passive

income

I

currently

teach

privately

and

it

just

isnt

scaleable

At

the

moment

if

I

want

to

earn

more

I

have

to

find

more

students

and

work

more

hours

The

idea

of

bringing

a

useful

product

to

lots

more

people

than

I

could

ever

manage

facetoface

Alex

M

My

first

experience

with

online

business

was

building

sites

in

the

early

I

got

way

from

that

to

travel

and

go

to

the

finance

world

Since

Ive

returned

to

the

internet

world

and

dabbled

with

clickbank

and

affiliate

marketing

But

trying

to

promote

products

that

I

didnt

really

believe

and

didnt

really

add

value

was

a

horrible

feeling

I

felt

like

I

was

lying

cheating

and

stealing

money

from

people

Since

Ive

decided

to

cut

out

the

BS

and

product

real

products

and

services

that

add

value

If

I

can

teach

something

or

entertain

someone

then

at

least

Ive

done

something

for

them

My

hope

is

that

building

a

successful

online

business

will

help

others

grow

increase

my

passive

income

stream

and

allow

me

the

freedom

and

flexibility

to

escape

the

job

in

cubeland

I

want

to

enjoy

life

with

my

wife

and

travel

south

during

the

winter

Cook

for

family

and

friends

Contribute

to

communities

in

need

And

build

successful

sustainable

businesses

Ramit

Sethi

Ugh

So

many

dilettantes

think

creating

BS

online

businesses

is

the

way

to

make

ONLINE

They

always

give

up

Always

Well

be

talking

about

adding

massive

value

FIRST

then

profit

This

is

a

very

different

model

than

most

of

the

pushabutton

makeonlineriches

courses

out

there

Jon

I

was

just

watching

a

video

training

by

Jason

Fladelin

and

he

was

talking

about

selling

mostly

informational

products

using

a

complete

system

of

tested

templates

where

you

could

either

use

your

own

products

or

promote

affiliate

products

He

was

talking

about

loopholes

that

exist

and

how

many

people

try

to

take

advantage

of

loopholes

as

if

they

are

sustainable

long

term

Remember

black

hat

search

engine

optimization

What

about

when

Kindle

first

started

and

people

were

reselling

free

books

It

is

true

that

a

couple

of

people

at

the

time

can

exploit

the

loophole

for

profit

sometimes

large

profits

But

eventually

when

the

loophole

is

closed

what

will

you

do

This

is

why

a

sustainable

approach

you

can

systematize

is

more

important

Then

when

loopholes

or

privileges

become

available

you

are

actually

in

a

better

position

to

Ross

Being

rather

than

working

for

the

man

Ive

been

a

part

of

two

startups

so

far

one

of

which

collapsed

and

was

resurrected

without

me

and

another

which

was

sold

but

not

for

a

massive

exit

everyone

always

gets

excited

about

of

these

were

my

company

but

they

were

both

an

excellent

learning

experience

Scott

The

most

exciting

thing

about

an

online

business

for

me

is

the

opportunity

for

increased

freedom

and

not

being

tied

down

at

the

office

everyday

One

of

my

favorite

things

to

do

is

travel

and

see

friends

With

an

online

business

I

would

be

able

to

travel

and

work

from

a

Starbucks

in

Atlanta

Dallas

or

New

York

just

as

easily

as

I

could

from

home

Im

excited

to

learn

more

and

see

how

I

can

develop

a

business

implement

automatic

systems

to

streamline

it

and

ultimately

achieve

the

freedom

of

my

dream

lifestyle

Scott

Pav

I

love

the

idea

of

thinking

without

boundaries

This

is

what

I

really

want

to

do

explore

and

implement

my

thinking

for

the

good

of

myself

and

others

levi

It

would

allow

me

to

take

care

of

my

family

and

to

free

up

my

time

I

would

love

to

be

able

to

do

what

I

lovewhere

I

love

and

still

be

able

to

take

care

of

business

I

also

own

another

business

and

business

building

is

dear

to

my

heart

Owning

an

online

business

or

any

business

and

then

expanding

it

into

a

brand

where

I

can

share

my

values

and

give

back

to

others

however

small

is

what

I

truly

think

life

is

about

Learning

from

a

proven

mentor

such

as

ramit

who

can

show

you

the

correct

I

am

most

excited

about

model

of

Lillian

The

thing

that

excites

me

about

starting

an

online

business

is

first

and

Foremost

the

challenge

My

experience

is

in

the

world

of

nonprofits

and

Ive

built

many

programs

and

events

from

scratch

very

successfully

but

never

a

business

I

like

trying

out

new

concepts

and

designing

systems

to

deal

with

them

One

of

my

fears

though

is

losing

social

capital

if

the

business

fails

Pushing

a

product

on

people

in

my

professional

and

social

circle

is

hard

for

me

even

though

asking

for

nonprofit

fundraising

money

isnt

I

worry

if

the

business

fails

I

have

lost

social

capital

asking

my

friends

and

colleagues

to

buy

my

product

Oh

look

we

were

only

supposed

to

cover

excitement

but

the

fear

just

came

out

Alright

today

is

the

beginning

of

an

entirely

new

chapter

of

IWT

I

just

got

back

from

a

lastminute

weekend

ski

and

Im

ready

to

finally

talk

about

the

Pedro

I

really

like

the

possibility

to

make

a

passive

income

with

a

second

job

I

already

have

jobs

and

Im

busting

my

ass

But

this

is

not

enough

I

know

about

people

that

with

a

online

job

achieve

freedom

to

do

whatever

they

want

to

This

would

be

nice

I

could

get

off

the

actual

shit

hole

that

Im

living

in

With

a

higher

I

could

What

most

the

It

is

I

notice

a

things

about

about

taking

expanding

it

to

If

out

Well

cover

this

in

You

can

have

all

the

in

You

can

talk

about

and

and

how

you

want

But

focusing

on

OTHER

the

right

people

is

one

of

the

keys

to

Kid

When

I

started

I

was

definitely

As

relationships

developed

I

started

to

get

deeper

into

realized

that

each

of

those

problems

were

faced

by

other

human

beings

Sure

I

could

charge

more

to

solve

them

and

I

do

but

actually

having

face

changed

my

perspective

not

do

you

think

weve

made

A

of

are

extremely

universal

and

they

apply

theyre

TO

YOU

Ross

In

your

experience

does

a

mefocused

answer

reduce

or

remove

the

probability

or

scale

of

success

I

ask

because

its

a

fairly

common

theme

for

successful

Valley

startups

to

make

something

that

the

foundersexecutives

themselves

want

A

basic

compiler

A

place

to

buy

books

online

A

search

engine

A

place

to

network

with

friends

A

better

phone

Certainly

the

focus

on

other

users

is

required

but

does

that

preclude

focus

on

self

Asking

for

responses

are

I

started

business

blindsurprisecom

months

ago

with

the

intention

of

living

a

flexible

lifestyle

and

running

a

scalable

model

Weve

been

learning

a

lot

about

online

marketing

its

been

a

great

experience

so

far

This

week

my

cofounder

is

leaving

her

job

to

work

full

time

on

the

business

which

is

a

huge

step

there

is

now

some

significant

overhead

Very

excited

for

the

blog

posts

to

come

Nicola

Im

excited

by

building

a

business

online

that

will

allow

me

to

people

around

the

world

achieve

their

own

dreams

people

working

in

the

creative

industries

who

have

become

stuck

in

some

way

due

to

real

or

perceived

lack

of

knowledge

skills

or

confidence

I

have

had

success

in

doing

this

in

person

via

a

website

and

a

couple

of

published

books

However

I

think

that

there

are

many

more

opportunities

that

I

could

leverage

by

focusing

on

building

the

online

part

of

my

business

Lia

Nicola

your

struck

me

because

Im

trying

to

do

create

a

movement

for

designers

who

are

unhappy

with

balance

figure

out

how

to

live

their

authentic

selves

Im

thinking

blogs

and

inspirational

are

things

youve

already

done

Do

you

have

any

insight

on

opportunities

you

feel

would

make

more

Thanks

for

writing

this

Lia

Lia

What

excites

me

most

is

being

true

to

what

I

produce

and

bring

out

to

the

world

and

empowering

others

to

give

the

same

permission

to

themselves

I

want

designers

working

in

traditional

corporate

culture

to

take

ownership

instead

of

accepting

things

that

dont

work

I

know

it

may

come

off

as

naive

but

Im

hoping

by

creating

a

model

for

people

to

follow

for

themselves

so

they

can

get

clarity

on

what

is

and

isnt

working

and

make

intentional

choices

towards

the

vision

they

want

for

themselves

and

their

careers

Anyway

Tiffany

I

have

three

Fs

that

Im

most

excited

about

FREEDOM

The

idea

of

not

being

chained

to

a

desk

is

my

main

motivator

My

babies

are

not

growing

up

around

a

schedule

and

I

dont

want

to

miss

a

minute

of

it

I

really

want

to

be

able

to

soak

up

all

life

has

to

offer

without

constantly

worrying

about

time

off

and

being

in

one

place

doing

what

someone

else

is

telling

me

FOOD

I

thoroughly

enjoy

the

entire

experience

of

eating

whether

its

cooking

with

my

family

and

friends

at

home

or

going

out

to

eat

With

my

own

business

I

can

afford

to

buy

all

of

the

best

items

to

cook

with

or

go

out

and

try

various

types

of

restaurants

I

love

to

eat

FUN

I

want

more

beach

days

Period

Who

says

that

vacations

are

supposed

to

be

only

once

a

year

I

thoroughly

enjoy

being

at

the

beach

because

I

love

the

water

not

just

because

its

one

season

I

want

to

have

fun

on

my

own

schedule

not

when

someone

allows

me

to

take

the

time

Boris

The

most

exciting

thing

for

me

about

doing

an

online

business

is

being

able

to

do

something

I

love

and

make

money

doing

it

Vincent

The

most

exciting

thing

to

me

is

the

idea

that

I

can

continue

to

hack

a

business

and

pursue

growth

without

interruption

and

without

needing

to

be

anywhere

at

any

particular

time

That

to

me

seems

to

be

the

ultimate

freedom

complete

autonomy

of

time

and

place

Rigel

I

want

to

be

able

to

take

a

sixmonth

trip

to

an

unfamiliar

part

of

the

world

and

actually

be

able

to

work

productively

during

the

trip

Stephanie

Me

too

I

have

dreamed

of

being

able

to

split

my

time

between

the

two

countries

where

my

extended

family

lives

Mexico

and

US

but

it

takes

money

and

a

career

that

allows

for

that

kind

of

flexibility

is

hard

to

find

I

am

excited

about

this

opportunity

Josh

Im

a

hugely

service

oriented

person

I

price

my

services

at

a

premium

thanks

for

the

briefcase

technique

and

enjoy

helping

people

well

Being

able

to

leverage

my

service

beyond

my

immediate

presence

and

being

rewarded

in

scale

both

in

satisfaction

and

financially

allthewhile

being

able

to

detach

myself

from

the

veryfrontline

sounds

just

amazing

I

actually

reckon

it

would

take

some

decent

psychological

shifts

Knowing

my

service

is

benefiting

people

enough

for

them

to

pay

while

I

play

on

the

floor

with

my

son

or

book

flights

to

another

city

just

to

see

a

concert

or

tend

to

new

taskshobbiesprojects

just

because

theyre

interesting

thereby

creating

even

more

value

just

through

having

the

time

and

energy

to

formalise

new

areas

Yes

please

Marina

I

dont

mind

working

hard

But

I

do

mind

working

not

so

hard

and

being

trapped

in

a

space

with

no

windows

and

artificial

air

for

hr

and

have

others

including

myself

calling

me

lucky

bitch

since

I

have

a

job

in

this

shitty

economy

and

have

a

good

salary

while

many

many

in

my

country

while

working

dont

receive

one

every

month

I

am

sick

of

feeling

that

I

depend

I

want

to

run

my

life

I

want

to

raise

my

kids

I

want

to

bread

the

air

on

the

hill

when

its

sunny

I

want

to

Freedom

and

My

life

would

be

run

by

me

not

anyone

else

The

amount

of

money

I

make

would

depend

on

my

ability

or

hustle

NOT

on

my

impression

about

me

Ramit

Sethi

Good

A

good

way

to

think

about

this

is

If

you

worked

twice

as

hard

at

your

day

job

would

you

make

twice

as

much

Of

course

not

If

you

worked

twice

as

hard

at

your

online

business

you

could

make

moreor

moreor

even

more

with

the

right

systems

Of

course

you

could

also

work

as

hard

and

make

nothing

which

is

what

so

many

online

entrepreneurs

end

up

doing

Not

here

Jonathan

Camere

I

have

had

some

luck

with

online

ventures

before

I

designed

a

shirt

that

went

viral

in

a

niche

market

and

got

me

an

extra

in

a

week

THAT

was

luck

I

didnt

know

what

made

it

so

successful

and

I

wasnt

able

to

recreate

it

I

know

that

there

are

steps

that

I

can

follow

to

get

better

results

and

repeat

it

over

and

over

again

What

excites

me

the

most

is

that

having

an

online

business

that

runs

mostly

itself

would

be

the

extra

time

and

financial

freedom

that

would

allow

to

give

me

more

time

with

my

kids

and

my

wife

To

travel

with

them

and

teach

them

about

life

and

to

be

free

and

to

follow

their

dreams

This

would

also

allow

me

to

put

more

effort

into

my

passion

in

photography

and

be

able

to

even

open

a

gallery

with

my

work

at

some

point

Its

about

living

a

life

full

of

experiences

and

learn

new

things

You

cant

do

that

Elizabeth

Here

is

the

truthI

dont

success

for

someone

elses

dream

Is

that

selfish

I

want

to

be

the

one

working

from

my

vacation

in

Europe

I

want

to

be

with

my

family

able

to

feed

clothe

and

provide

a

roof

but

to

also

BE

with

themlife

is

just

too

short

to

I

love

Launching

an

online

business

is

a

fight

between

creating

an

MVP

minimal

viable

product

and

creating

the

polished

product

people

expect

like

what

Apple

or

Google

might

put

out

Who

wants

to

launch

something

only

to

hear

from

friends

and

family

that

this

isnt

right

or

that

isnt

perfect

And

even

this

post

makes

me

think

My

web

site

isnt

fully

automated

I

have

to

do

X

because

automating

something

behind

the

scenes

wasnt

an

immediate

priority

So

thanks

for

that

Ramit

Polishing

the

product

competes

with

creating

a

functional

site

which

competes

with

improving

usabilityefficiency

Oh

and

Google

doesnt

put

my

site

on

the

first

page

of

results

Bing

has

it

as

link

WTF

For

me

an

online

business

is

to

become

an

expert

in

my

field

Im

not

selling

tshirts

or

creating

another

messaging

app

Im

creating

something

different

to

let

individuals

do

what

was

previously

available

to

corporations

Hedging

currencies

specifically

Bitcoins

like

any

other

foreign

exchange

or

hedging

rain

on

your

wedding

day

or

wind

or

temperature

Ive

already

had

coffee

with

an

upstart

stock

exchange

looking

to

hire

me

because

they

saw

what

I

was

doing

after

befriending

someone

on

linkedIn

who

then

saw

a

status

update

Nathan

What

excites

me

most

is

the

concept

of

being

able

to

work

where

ever

I

happen

to

be

The

world

being

my

office

as

long

as

I

can

find

WiFi

to

connect

my

laptop

and

the

time

being

my

own

Of

course

the

money

wouldnt

hurt

either

While

I

have

an

online

business

of

sorts

I

feel

most

of

my

time

with

it

is

spend

trying

to

sell

when

I

would

much

rather

be

creating

new

products

That

keeps

me

glued

to

the

computer

and

after

already

being

glued

to

the

computer

for

hours

with

my

real

job

Hi

Ramit

I

have

zero

experience

starting

an

online

business

To

be

brutally

honest

its

been

fear

self

confidence

lack

of

direction

blah

blah

blah

and

million

of

other

reasons

why

I

havent

taken

action

on

this

before

But

here

is

what

I

know

now

There

is

greatness

inside

of

me

and

I

need

to

be

bout

that

life

I

need

to

serve

a

greater

audience

with

my

passion

to

inspire

and

motivate

people

to

do

awesome

things

To

be

an

example

for

my

family

and

for

the

dreamers

of

the

world

The

Freedom

to

live

learn

and

teach

from

anywhere

in

the

world

and

make

tons

of

money

while

doing

it

Those

are

my

top

two

reasons

Thank

you

for

allowing

me

to

be

your

student

and

I

look

foward

to

engaging

in

continual

growth

with

you

Respect

What

excites

me

most

about

having

a

successful

online

business

is

being

able

to

live

comfortably

on

passive

income

and

having

the

stability

and

freedom

to

choose

whether

I

want

to

pursue

new

business

ideas

take

up

different

hobbies

like

brewing

beer

or

printing

tshirts

or

sit

on

my

ass

eating

chips

and

reading

paranormal

romance

novels

all

day

I

want

to

have

that

kind

of

power

and

control

over

my

life

Ramit

Sethi

Are

you

willing

to

put

in

the

work

Passive

income

doesnt

come

easily

Amir

I

eagerly

want

to

share

the

secrets

and

experiences

I

had

in

my

career

as

a

pro

triathlete

and

then

cyclist

with

fellow

cyclists

around

the

world

to

help

them

ride

faster

and

win

more

races

While

doing

one

on

one

coaching

is

great

I

want

my

reach

to

be

way

beyond

what

a

day

limits

me

to

now

One

of

the

most

exciting

things

about

having

it

online

is

to

see

than

someone

from

lets

say

Australia

can

use

my

programs

as

well

as

someone

in

Germany

the

US

Africa

anywhere

really

Second

thing

leverage

based

on

systems

Being

able

to

scale

the

business

based

on

the

systems

I

created

plus

delegate

the

lowvalue

work

outsource

so

I

can

focus

on

the

highvalue

tasks

that

I

actually

enjoy

I

feel

that

a

lot

of

onlinebusiness

owners

waste

so

much

time

doing

dumb

work

that

we

spend

our

limited

will

power

on

which

leaves

the

work

that

actually

gets

you

ahead

usually

undone

Look

forward

to

learning

from

you

Ramit

as

I

LOVE

your

systems

leverage

and

especially

how

you

approach

the

most

fascinating

thing

in

the

world

psychology

Jeff

I

want

to

break

out

of

the

drop

ship

businesses

I

currently

run

I

have

flirted

with

digital

products

for

a

while

Never

made

the

time

to

create

and

launch

Daniel

I

consider

myself

a

lucky

person

I

have

a

good

paying

job

that

I

truly

ENJOY

and

am

successful

But

it

doesnt

mean

that

I

am

not

always

looking

for

ways

to

supplement

and

allow

for

added

joy

I

believe

that

you

dont

need

to

take

every

opportunity

that

comes

your

way

but

one

should

always

listen

I

want

to

see

what

options

and

opportunities

might

be

out

there

for

me

Ramit

I

have

read

your

book

and

recommended

to

many

others

It

has

gotten

me

into

a

much

better

place

in

life

and

for

that

advice

I

am

thankful

Because

of

that

I

am

always

willing

to

listen

to

learn

all

I

can

from

you

and

look

forward

to

seeing

what

you

might

have

for

me

and

us

as

your

learning

community

The

thought

of

me

having

my

own

business

is

exciting

Knowing

Im

my

to

clock

in

and

out

on

someone

else

time

is

amazing

to

me

I

would

enjoy

the

freedom

I

have

and

will

love

the

time

I

have

to

spend

with

Traveling

the

I

get

from

puts

I

I

Marina

Im

sorry

Ive

posted

my

comment

in

the

wrong

place

before

but

here

is

what

I

said

I

dont

mind

working

hard

But

I

do

mind

working

not

so

hard

and

being

trapped

in

a

space

with

no

windows

and

artificial

air

for

hr

and

have

others

including

myself

calling

me

lucky

bitch

since

I

have

a

job

in

this

shitty

economy

and

have

a

good

salary

while

many

many

in

my

country

while

working

dont

receive

one

every

month

I

am

sick

of

feeling

that

I

depend

I

want

to

run

my

life

I

want

to

raise

my

kids

I

want

Helen

I

had

my

own

business

before

I

made

plenty

of

mistakes

and

went

off

in

the

wrong

direction

and

ended

up

somewhere

I

didnt

want

to

be

The

workincome

ratio

was

rubbish

and

I

really

didnt

enjoy

it

anymore

so

I

decided

to

shut

it

down

and

move

on

But

I

dont

regret

it

And

its

what

Ive

learned

from

that

experience

that

excites

me

about

starting

an

online

business

I

have

learned

so

much

about

how

I

work

how

I

want

to

live

my

life

and

what

I

enjoy

and

what

really

bugs

me

and

Im

excited

about

turning

all

of

that

experience

into

an

online

business

that

works

for

me

Im

also

excited

because

I

know

it

can

lead

to

creating

the

life

hubbytobe

and

I

want

to

live

full

of

adventure

and

new

experiences

I

do

like

to

have

an

online

my

familly

What

most

excites

me

about

having

an

online

business

is

the

freedom

and

flexibility

I

want

to

enjoy

a

wealthy

life

with

my

partner

friends

and

family

without

having

to

sacrifice

the

time

I

want

to

create

a

business

that

gives

me

a

daily

sense

of

accomplishment

and

will

have

a

quality

product

that

consumers

love

I

read

your

book

at

and

have

had

an

automated

finance

systems

since

then

Your

systems

have

set

me

up

for

success

and

Im

looking

forward

to

learning

more

about

this

Dan

Being

able

to

work

on

my

terms

both

in

aspects

are

exciting

to

me

The

opportunity

to

supplement

or

replace

my

current

income

with

something

that

I

construct

from

the

ground

up

would

be

awesome

Sven

An

online

business

will

allow

it

will

give

me

what

I

do

Its

really

cool

to

work

on

a

product

and

see

it

being

used

by

companies

What

a

blast

it

would

be

if

such

companies

would

buy

and

use

my

my

it

What

the

Ive

been

talking

about

starting

an

business

for

about

years

I

start

a

the

first

and

then

NEVER

add

to

it

Its

like

Im

afraid

it

will

be

successful

Stupid

when

I

write

it

but

true

hence

the

never

going

the

next

step

forward

I

worked

in

personal

growth

industrylearned

tons

and

have

tons

to

share

but

only

share

with

a

few

people

I

would

love

to

be

able

to

help

people

and

know

that

I

can

but

dont

know

really

where

to

start

Fear

of

not

knowing

tech

stuff

enough

holds

me

back

I

had

my

owned

my

own

business

for

over

years

When

I

got

divorced

I

went

to

work

for

someone

and

have

been

doing

it

the

last

years

Would

love

to

be

Justin

Hi

Ramit

My

experience

with

online

business

is

lacking

Its

not

that

I

havent

thought

about

it

in

fact

its

something

thats

constantly

on

my

mind

I

think

my

issue

is

coming

up

with

a

ground

breaking

idea

but

I

really

dont

know

Perhaps

its

just

fear

What

excites

me

about

making

an

online

business

is

just

the

ability

to

get

paid

for

something

I

love

It

wouldnt

take

much

for

me

to

leave

my

full

time

job

as

I

am

practically

a

minimum

wage

employee

so

that

is

also

exciting

I

dont

have

any

visions

of

grandeur

at

this

point

just

everyone

wants

to

be

a

millionaire

but

I

just

want

to

make

some

freaking

money

Thanks

Justin

Ramit

Sethi

I

can

help

you

develop

your

idea

and

make

sure

its

a

profitable

idea

before

spending

tons

of

time

and

money

on

it

And

by

the

way

when

you

focus

on

adding

value

to

people

the

money

will

come

More

than

you

can

imagine

But

if

your

only

goal

is

to

make

money

its

a

very

dry

and

dim

goal

I

know

that

sounds

crazy

but

Ill

explain

more

in

the

coming

weeks

and

in

the

ZTL

course

Mat

The

possibility

of

living

where

I

want

to

live

instead

of

where

there

is

work

most

excites

me

Donniee

Im

excited

about

starting

an

online

business

because

I

know

it

is

possible

If

Ramit

can

do

it

and

so

many

others

then

so

can

I

I

just

need

to

know

how

I

am

excited

that

this

could

be

the

time

this

could

be

the

way

for

me

to

learn

how

to

make

this

happen

for

me

and

my

family

Mary

Clay

What

excites

me

about

building

an

online

business

is

the

opportunity

to

succeed

and

use

the

income

to

pay

off

my

student

loans

Sue

Before

I

comment

I

wonder

where

the

photos

are

coming

from

Some

people

have

them

next

to

their

posts

and

some

dont

Jeremy

What

excites

me

about

an

online

business

is

gaining

the

satisfaction

of

finally

bringing

my

own

ideas

together

in

a

profitable

manner

and

no

longer

just

doing

great

work

for

other

people

Especially

the

comfort

in

not

being

so

dependent

on

other

people

and

their

ideas

to

make

a

living

Ryan

Simple

More

money

Id

be

creating

this

money

during

the

time

that

Id

otherwise

be

wasting

Pete

An

online

business

one

of

the

best

ways

to

share

what

you

do

best

with

world

so

you

can

continue

to

do

it

For

a

few

years

i

sold

a

digital

product

targeted

at

musicians

and

would

make

a

few

hundred

to

a

thousand

a

month

in

the

process

most

with

to

much

headache

after

the

initial

product

creation

It

was

a

great

feeling

to

not

have

to

worry

about

money

so

much

because

it

was

an

additional

stream

of

income

to

other

income

streams

i

had

going

on

in

my

life

It

became

a

great

source

of

money

for

Krissy

Ive

never

started

an

online

business

but

would

like

to

Ive

bought

various

books

on

how

to

set

up

a

blog

but

never

have

because

Im

not

sure

people

want

to

hear

what

I

have

to

say

My

passions

are

personal

finance

believing

in

yourself

the

power

of

positive

thinking

and

to

teach

people

to

quit

whining

about

all

the

problems

in

their

lives

and

DO

something

about

it

Change

is

up

to

us

thats

why

I

love

reading

your

stuff

The

most

exciting

things

about

an

online

business

to

me

are

FREEDOM

and

helping

people

figure

their

financial

lives

out

while

replacing

my

income

and

making

a

ton

more

money

would

be

the

idea

I

make

figures

now

in

corporate

finance

and

I

can

spend

my

days

doing

personal

stuff

at

work

and

taking

hour

lunches

because

I

know

what

needs

to

be

done

and

can

efficiently

get

it

done

and

no

one

is

the

wiser

So

theres

a

certain

flexibility

here

that

is

great

but

I

feel

like

I

could

do

so

much

more

and

be

much

If

I

could

learn

how

to

build

a

successful

online

business

I

envision

keeping

my

day

job

and

at

least

begin

to

build

my

online

business

and

then

at

a

What

excites

me

most

about

online

business

is

the

idea

of

working

and

making

money

from

home

without

somebody

breathing

down

your

neck

Jason

I

would

love

to

learn

how

to

choose

an

idea

that

a

group

of

people

have

a

need

for

and

learn

the

techniques

and

systems

to

fill

that

need

Because

once

you

learn

the

fundamentals

of

choosing

the

idea

implementing

techniques

and

systems

you

can

repeat

the

techniques

and

increase

the

number

of

people

you

serve

exponentially

I

am

a

big

fan

of

Seth

Godin

James

Altucher

and

Ramit

and

would

love

to

be

able

to

help

people

on

the

same

scale

as

them

In

the

past

I

havent

made

it

past

the

phase

because

I

didnt

know

things

Getting

out

of

bed

being

able

to

take

the

time

to

spend

with

my

family

instead

of

rushing

out

the

door

so

the

guardian

of

the

time

clock

doesnt

rat

me

out

to

my

boss

Taking

my

wife

and

kids

out

to

lunch

or

shopping

during

the

week

when

everyone

else

is

gasp

at

their

office

filling

the

coffers

of

their

company

while

struggling

to

get

by

Hopping

on

a

plane

to

an

island

somewhere

anywhere

as

long

as

its

where

we

want

to

be

Knowing

I

am

making

a

significant

on

Freedom

of

Kathy

I

love

being

able

to

be

home

with

my

husband

who

had

a

stroke

in

and

is

now

disabled

Being

able

to

take

care

of

him

and

the

flexibility

to

be

able

to

take

him

to

the

doctor

if

need

be

is

the

best

Mike

I

think

the

thing

that

excites

me

the

most

is

making

something

that

people

find

useful

and

makes

their

lives

easier

Second

I

am

excited

about

the

change

to

diversify

my

household

income

streams

from

the

job

I

have

now

Another

thing

that

excites

me

about

an

online

business

is

the

ability

to

scale

it

up

once

I

have

created

a

quality

product

Steven

The

thing

that

excites

me

the

most

about

starting

my

own

business

is

more

for

peace

of

mind

My

fiance

and

I

have

great

jobs

now

with

a

solid

worklife

balance

Even

though

we

do

a

great

job

saving

using

your

methods

wed

love

to

do

more

Whether

its

having

extra

cash

to

go

towards

retirment

saving

for

our

kids

college

funds

not

having

to

go

into

savings

for

a

vacation

every

year

or

something

to

supplement

our

earnings

if

god

forbid

one

of

us

lost

our

job

Finding

a

way

to

have

that

financial

freedom

is

very

important

to

Jessie

I

love

make

up

Watching

those

youtube

videos

and

going

to

blogs

have

saved

me

thousands

of

dollars

I

started

my

own

blog

a

while

ago

and

of

course

is

always

the

last

thing

on

my

mind

I

did

get

good

traffic

for

a

few

months

while

I

was

posting

irregularly

but

nothing

now

Why

Because

I

have

not

posted

anything

since

September

of

I

would

love

to

follow

my

passion

and

work

Though

I

love

Every

should

read

this

Notice

how

my

free

material

has

saved

Jessie

thousands

of

dollars

Whether

youre

saving

people

money

or

helping

them

get

healthier

or

teaching

them

a

new

skill

do

you

see

how

you

GIVE

VALUE

first

THEN

charge

Do

you

see

how

if

I

created

a

or

even

product

Jessie

would

be

so

much

more

likely

to

buy

This

is

a

key

difference

in

how

you

approach

online

business

to

create

students

for

life

Not

in

a

scammy

way

Not

in

a

shove

the

sale

down

their

throat

way

But

in

an

authentic

way

that

puts

THEM

first

And

over

the

longterm

when

you

create

a

winwin

for

both

of

you

you

will

make

more

money

than

you

can

possibly

imagine

Stay

tuned

for

the

systems

showing

you

how

to

do

this

Abhinav

Being

a

college

grad

student

from

India

i

have

always

wanted

to

do

this

kind

of

stuff

ever

since

i

read

What

most

excites

me

is

Want

to

travel

for

experience

i

have

a

list

of

festivals

food

locations

and

adventure

sports

But

before

that

with

first

i

would

buy

my

list

of

books

on

business

marketing

entrepreneurship

etc

that

i

want

to

educate

myself

with

Next

on

fiction

books

for

the

journey

A

lot

of

other

things

but

thinking

about

them

at

this

point

seems

a

waste

of

time

I

tried

my

hand

this

stuff

started

a

website

and

failed

miserably

but

actually

lacked

a

systematic

approach

you

know

a

bit

advice

from

here

and

there

But

in

retrospect

after

reading

your

blog

everything

seems

like

an

excuse

Anyways

i

want

to

thank

Ramit

Having

recently

found

out

your

blog

and

material

that

you

have

something

robust

and

working

above

all

youre

giving

it

for

free

Im

currently

browsing

some

older

blog

posts

to

dig

for

some

helpful

actionable

stuff

Thanks

Katerina

I

am

most

excited

about

reaching

a

wider

audience

than

I

ever

could

in

private

practice

I

want

to

change

lives

SamB

I

think

what

excites

me

most

about

the

idea

of

an

online

business

is

the

knowledge

that

the

value

of

what

you

contribute

is

directly

quantifiable

Im

not

meaning

to

imply

that

there

arent

plenty

of

people

making

money

selling

crap

but

that

isnt

sustainable

long

term

And

conversely

there

are

plenty

of

people

selling

awesome

stuff

and

yet

failing

for

other

reasons

However

in

its

purest

form

and

with

the

right

guidance

an

online

business

is

one

place

where

making

money

means

youre

offering

something

appealing

and

continued

success

means

youre

offering

something

of

real

value

to

people

As

much

as

Id

like

to

think

my

self

esteem

doesnt

rely

on

other

peoples

opinions

of

me

Id

be

lying

if

I

said

it

had

no

Craig

Pure

and

simple

Im

excited

about

the

freedom

that

an

online

business

could

give

me

I

might

be

in

the

minority

here

but

its

not

all

about

the

money

Not

being

tied

town

to

living

in

one

city

to

service

my

clients

is

a

really

exciting

prospect

to

me

Guiselle

What

would

be

more

exciting

about

this

is

the

freedom

that

gives

you

have

some

more

extra

money

to

do

the

things

you

love

Lisa

What

most

excites

me

about

an

online

business

is

the

potential

for

freedom

that

it

providesfreedom

to

make

choices

it

otherwise

would

be

difficult

to

make

Better

yet

to

not

have

to

make

certain

choices

between

this

or

that

but

rather

i

can

have

this

AND

that

Also

i

like

the

idea

of

making

passive

income

and

having

my

business

work

for

meincluding

while

I

am

sleeping

I

want

to

be

able

to

share

something

ive

created

with

others

in

a

way

that

will

truly

be

helpful

and

ideally

lifeimproving

for

them

SOKUN

I

never

have

any

an

online

business

experience

in

the

past

but

right

now

l

would

love

to

start

it

because

this

business

we

hope

to

reach

to

many

people

in

the

world

via

our

online

what

we

are

going

to

sell

or

share

We

can

become

our

own

boss

with

our

work

even

in

home

or

anywhere

in

the

world

that

we

wanted

and

love

to

do

it

I

hope

an

online

business

will

bring

me

passive

income

for

the

hold

of

life

even

we

are

busy

with

our

current

job

and

it

will

make

me

more

happy

while

we

can

sharing

any

of

our

experience

or

even

can

get

others

information

from

many

factor

in

the

world

In

that

also

we

can

sell

our

knowledge

our

successfulsell

our

failure

which

many

people

are

never

met

in

their

lives

Malika

for

me

I

want

to

be

free

and

have

an

enriched

lifestyle

for

my

customers

I

want

them

to

be

free

of

anxietypanic

attacks

and

find

a

way

to

be

rich

too

I

believe

that

the

course

Ive

developed

can

help

so

many

people

I

need

to

find

a

way

to

serve

as

many

people

as

I

can

and

spend

time

doing

what

I

love

HOWEVER

I

suck

at

business

and

make

stupid

mistakes

write

horrendous

sales

copy

and

my

website

looks

like

noddy

made

it

And

I

hate

asking

for

money

Im

ready

to

change

Ramit

Sethi

I

especially

love

how

you

focused

on

not

just

you

your

customers

Thats

a

very

good

sign

The

rest

I

can

teach

you

Stephen

Its

an

exciting

time

and

my

wife

and

I

would

love

to

build

an

asset

business

which

requires

some

focus

but

isnt

the

true

center

of

our

daily

life

Were

both

frustrated

with

the

standard

work

model

and

feel

the

strong

urge

to

break

free

of

this

daily

grind

Were

very

interested

in

creating

something

that

makes

a

significant

amount

of

money

per

month

that

gives

us

location

independence

We

love

travel

and

experience

and

we

want

a

business

that

frees

us

up

to

focus

on

that

What

excites

me

most

is

the

freedom

Ill

have

to

spend

time

with

my

wife

and

kids

Freedom

is

the

most

important

aspect

of

starting

my

own

business

Ive

felt

shackled

down

to

my

jobs

for

so

long

Its

time

for

a

change

I

want

to

set

a

good

example

for

my

children

as

well

I

dont

want

them

to

grow

up

thinking

they

need

to

find

a

stable

job

and

work

their

asses

off

for

a

boss

or

company

that

doesnt

even

care

about

them

to

be

meagerly

compensated

I

want

to

show

them

that

if

they

work

their

alex

For

me

the

most

exciting

thing

about

doing

and

online

business

is

the

idea

that

I

can

fail

which

already

happen

once

that

rush

that

tickling

in

my

hands

I

love

it

specially

that

energy

that

I

get

after

not

doing

it

right

the

first

time

Lauri

I

love

learning

about

products

or

systems

and

then

teaching

people

about

them

in

the

simplest

way

possible

I

have

a

knack

for

breaking

things

down

into

the

simplest

of

terms

and

I

want

to

help

other

people

understand

what

Ive

recently

learned

An

online

business

seems

like

a

possible

way

of

doing

so

Right

now

I

have

a

travel

blog

teaching

people

travel

tricks

and

tips

Ive

learned

over

the

years

but

I

just

write

it

for

the

sense

of

accomplishment

it

gives

me

It

would

be

very

exciting

to

know

how

to

truly

monetize

something

like

this

Maki

Tolentino

Im

excited

with

the

idea

that

you

dont

have

to

trade

your

hour

at

work

for

the

fee

that

youd

be

getting

I

love

my

work

but

without

leverage

I

wont

be

able

to

keep

up

and

earn

more

without

me

burning

out

in

the

process

excited

Kim

Right

now

what

excites

me

the

most

about

having

an

online

business

is

the

freedom

I

have

I

basically

do

what

I

want

when

I

want

and

if

I

dont

love

something

I

just

dont

do

it

I

enjoy

is

how

i

found

Theres

too

much

hype

about

here

in

I

would

want

to

prove

to

my

and

encourage

others

in

the

process

that

genuine

work

can

be

done

online

without

spamming

Candace

What

excites

me

most

about

starting

an

online

business

are

the

possibilities

for

my

future

that

would

result

from

having

passive

income

and

being

in

control

of

my

life

independent

from

an

employer

I

am

only

and

I

know

that

if

I

can

successfully

create

an

online

business

at

this

age

then

there

truly

are

so

many

options

available

for

where

I

can

work

from

how

I

can

spend

my

time

and

how

I

can

create

a

financially

for

myself

and

my

KM

What

excites

me

most

about

starting

an

online

business

is

mostly

being

able

to

prove

to

myself

that

customers

are

willing

to

pay

money

for

my

productsolution

The

exciting

stuff

is

the

process

of

defining

and

refining

the

business

value

proposition

building

the

business

attracting

customers

and

generating

revenues

which

if

I

dont

screw

up

will

grow

over

time

The

income

and

all

the

stuff

that

comes

from

having

more

income

is

the

reward

for

doing

the

best

job

I

can

in

real

a

business

Ryan

The

MOST

EXCITING

thing

to

me

about

starting

an

online

business

is

that

I

would

be

able

to

deliver

valuable

information

to

multitudes

of

people

over

a

medium

that

has

no

time

or

geographical

restrictions

To

teach

people

what

I

love

today

would

require

my

time

directly

with

up

to

ten

people

at

a

time

Online

that

restriction

goes

away

Scott

Yes

I

started

selling

on

Took

your

advice

and

wrote

down

costs

vs

Found

I

was

making

half

of

what

I

thought

I

was

Dropped

it

like

an

old

shoe

Because

working

smarter

at

my

current

job

will

never

translate

into

more

income

Also

taking

your

advice

and

looking

for

a

new

job

Because

Im

tired

of

living

in

the

swamp

when

I

want

to

live

in

the

mountains

Because

frankly

I

dont

want

to

hit

a

ceiling

where

I

continue

to

add

value

to

someone

it

doesnt

the

idea

of

in

at

at

to

the

My

experience

Im

a

year

old

selfemployed

graphic

web

designer

I

currently

run

an

online

business

that

generates

a

few

grand

a

month

under

figures

a

month

Ive

been

living

in

Thailand

for

the

last

months

which

is

pretty

sweet

probably

what

excites

me

most

as

well

but

its

partly

cuz

I

cant

afford

the

life

I

want

in

the

States

yet

Really

I

need

to

learn

to

scale

this

business

Theres

only

so

much

time

work

volume

I

can

handle

only

so

much

I

can

charge

my

current

clients

I

have

much

better

clients

than

I

did

a

couple

years

ago

and

better

clients

can

always

be

had

to

a

certain

degree

However

lately

Ive

been

hiring

people

on

to

handle

larger

web

projects

Things

I

find

frustrating

Inconsistency

of

Scalability

to

work

Excites

Me

Knowing

want

Jeff

Gibbard

The

most

EXCITING

thing

for

me

would

be

to

remove

the

worry

about

monthly

expenses

Id

like

to

finally

get

ahead

Im

tired

of

being

behind

I

work

really

hard

but

I

can

probably

work

more

intelligently

I

love

the

work

I

do

and

I

love

my

life

money

is

one

of

my

biggest

challenges

as

there

simply

isnt

enough

flowing

in

to

create

the

exact

lifestyle

Id

like

to

have

Daniel

Mullen

Its

all

about

time

Right

now

I

dont

have

enough

time

to

travel

or

to

go

out

on

humanitarian

efforts

because

I

have

to

go

to

work

to

support

my

family

With

an

online

business

I

can

work

wherever

I

have

internet

access

With

an

AUTOMATED

business

I

can

work

less

to

buy

necessities

so

I

can

have

more

time

to

do

more

fun

things

Roberta

Being

able

to

leverage

my

time

to

produce

a

reliable

passive

income

doing

what

I

enjoy

doing

and

still

have

time

to

do

other

things

I

love

I

dont

want

a

business

that

takes

over

my

life

but

one

the

supports

and

complements

it

Brian

I

just

read

Ramits

comment

about

the

good

and

bad

responses

here

I

actually

was

so

caught

up

in

how

I

would

benefit

from

starting

a

business

I

completely

forgot

about

the

other

side

the

customers

I

would

love

to

be

the

guy

my

customers

tell

other

people

Oh

you

need

help

with

insert

problem

here

You

should

talk

to

Brian

I

love

that

guy

Ive

been

an

IT

admin

for

the

past

years

and

starting

off

on

a

help

desk

has

taught

me

very

good

customer

service

Now

that

Im

a

senior

level

admin

and

do

not

need

to

get

on

the

phone

with

customers

I

still

do

anyway

because

I

like

helping

people

and

making

sure

their

happy

I

give

people

my

direct

number

because

I

know

how

it

is

to

get

the

runaround

plus

Im

a

nice

guy

The

other

guys

I

work

with

actually

laugh

and

ask

why

I

dont

forward

them

to

our

helpdesk

Id

say

Im

a

bit

So

one

thing

Im

excited

about

is

building

relationships

with

my

customers

Its

a

good

feeling

to

have

someone

youve

helped

speak

highly

about

you

to

their

friends

Will

Time

freedom

and

the

ability

to

truly

live

the

life

I

want

and

imagine

Simple

as

that

Erin

This

is

a

great

class

idea

Ramit

I

have

had

an

idea

percolating

for

about

a

year

for

an

online

consulting

business

but

have

not

been

able

to

hit

the

ground

yet

because

I

have

been

finishing

up

my

PhD

and

interning

at

a

tech

company

fulltime

What

excites

me

about

an

online

business

is

being

able

to

take

only

projects

that

will

light

my

fire

and

being

able

to

do

things

that

I

think

are

meaningful

and

valuable

I

love

the

idea

of

answering

only

to

myself

and

therefore

being

able

to

be

picky

about

what

I

get

invested

in

Of

course

as

a

consultant

I

Mariana

What

most

excites

me

about

building

an

online

business

is

being

able

to

bring

value

to

my

customers

from

anywhere

in

the

world

This

would

allow

me

to

give

value

to

customers

without

having

to

sacrifice

the

most

important

thing

for

me

and

my

husband

time

with

our

families

I

am

from

Venezuela

and

my

husband

is

from

Turkey

we

live

in

NY

It

is

quite

the

challenge

to

spend

time

with

our

families

especially

since

mine

is

spread

all

over

because

of

the

political

unrest

in

Venezuela

We

havent

made

time

for

our

own

honeymoon

because

the

time

we

Ed

Not

having

a

boss

is

the

most

exciting

part

Setting

my

own

hours

and

working

on

my

own

terms

Beth

B

Creating

something

from

the

ground

up

excites

me

Involvement

in

all

steps

of

the

building

process

so

that

the

sustaining

phase

is

something

that

comes

easy

yes

but

also

is

something

Im

deeply

invested

in

Katie

What

excites

me

the

most

sleeping

in

And

staying

up

late

Seriously

I

am

naturally

a

major

night

person

ie

would

prefer

to

stay

up

until

or

am

every

day

and

wake

up

at

or

and

conforming

to

the

working

worlds

morningcentric

approach

makes

me

miserable

Having

control

of

my

own

schedule

sounds

like

heaven

Chris

The

idea

of

growing

and

nuturing

something

I

enjoy

doing

Reading

hour

work

week

and

seeing

all

of

the

methods

of

automation

and

ownership

you

have

while

running

your

own

business

Seeing

gaps

in

communication

and

taking

steps

to

actually

fix

them

instead

of

allowing

hierachy

of

business

fix

them

Grace

I

started

selling

an

online

estudy

guide

for

nursing

students

The

students

were

loving

it

ans

going

crazy

for

it

They

started

asking

for

different

subjects

that

I

wasnt

an

expert

in

so

I

kind

of

let

it

die

and

wither

away

Eventually

I

took

it

offline

I

was

afraid

because

I

didnt

know

how

to

grow

from

there

without

consuming

my

life

at

becoming

an

expert

at

so

many

subjects

the

students

are

asking

for

I

still

receive

emails

from

students

saying

Please

where

can

I

buy

this

study

guide

And

I

feel

guilty

every

time

I

read

one

because

it

feels

like

Im

depriving

them

of

something

I

want

to

have

the

courage

to

revive

this

little

business

and

believe

in

myself

that

I

CAN

make

several

different

products

that

will

benefit

these

students

without

losing

myself

or

my

social

life

Ramit

Sethi

Very

insightful

When

you

find

the

right

idea

and

validate

it

you

wont

have

to

sell

anything

in

a

sleazy

or

inauthentic

way

When

you

do

this

right

youll

actually

have

people

BEGGING

you

to

create

and

sell

something

That

is

powerful

Ginger

I

have

a

desire

to

travel

the

country

in

an

RV

and

passive

income

would

make

this

possible

I

am

about

to

testify

in

a

brutal

murder

case

that

will

make

me

a

target

to

the

defendant

and

I

will

be

uprooting

suddenly

and

have

income

during

that

process

will

be

a

literal

lifesaver

What

most

excites

me

about

an

online

business

is

you

earn

even

when

you

are

busy

doing

nothing

I

would

its

They

Ive

been

reading

months

I

save

of

Im

Im

ready

The

My

HUGE

through

grocery

Things

I

mean

COMPLETING

on

in

Jennifer

Creating

something

that

would

be

a

reflection

of

my

interest

and

abilities

John

The

most

rewarding

part

of

having

my

online

businesspersonal

training

was

having

clients

go

through

changes

and

love

what

has

happened

to

them

Then

they

are

excited

and

compliance

goes

up

and

then

More

positive

changes

The

hard

part

is

getting

more

clients

and

when

the

military

calls

me

up

to

be

active

and

I

have

to

dump

all

my

clients

and

start

again

fresh

when

I

come

back

from

training

Henry

The

idea

of

having

a

business

that

operates

online

and

generates

a

solid

revenue

is

exciting

because

it

allows

me

to

be

my

own

boss

do

the

things

I

love

to

do

and

have

the

time

to

improve

and

to

learn

I

dont

just

mean

improvements

related

specifically

to

the

online

business

but

improvements

in

all

areas

of

life

that

in

turn

can

have

a

positive

impact

on

the

business

as

well

Anthony

Creating

an

online

business

has

been

a

dream

of

mine

To

be

able

to

monetize

a

business

by

talking

about

something

or

creating

a

topic

that

could

benefit

people

as

well

as

benefit

me

karen

The

challenge

I

love

learning

I

love

business

and

I

love

the

challenge

Having

something

to

share

with

the

world

andor

inspire

others

is

a

huge

benefit

as

well

Kim

What

excites

me

about

an

online

business

is

the

ability

to

work

anywhere

This

means

true

freedom

and

flexibility

I

love

the

idea

of

creating

my

own

work

space

on

my

own

terms

Mike

This

sounds

great

The

idea

that

you

can

be

successful

start

your

own

business

while

still

having

the

freedom

to

use

you

time

on

the

most

important

things

in

life

is

exciting

Also

working

from

anywhere

in

the

world

and

not

being

tied

down

sounds

really

awesome

Brian

What

most

excites

me

is

the

opportunity

to

be

proactive

with

my

future

and

stop

being

reactive

To

be

able

to

have

the

freedom

to

travel

and

not

be

tied

to

a

brickandmortar

location

Katie

The

most

exciting

part

of

an

online

business

for

me

is

the

challenge

of

it

I

love

making

it

grow

from

an

unnoticed

speck

to

a

thriving

destination

on

the

net

Tamara

C

What

excites

me

most

about

an

online

business

it

the

ability

to

run

it

from

anywhere

I

choose

I

can

be

on

the

beach

or

in

the

pool

and

still

work

I

am

so

sick

of

my

schedule

working

for

the

manI

want

to

feel

more

in

control

of

my

life

Amanda

The

idea

that

I

can

ADD

VALUE

to

the

world

that

others

can

benefit

from

something

I

create

This

excites

me

the

most

Also

being

with

my

daughter

every

step

of

the

way

and

allowing

her

the

freedom

to

explore

her

interests

while

also

encouraging

her

entrepreneurship

and

seeing

her

moving

forward

in

her

life

with

joy

And

building

a

business

that

brings

real

money

in

while

being

ethical

and

transparent

Yes

John

The

success

of

Esther

Freedom

Freedom

to

do

whatever

I

want

to

do

from

wherever

I

want

to

do

it

More

importantly

freedom

to

help

people

in

a

bigger

way

than

I

am

now

I

do

an

business

an

English

teaching

platform

I

blog

as

well

although

my

blogs

are

not

yet

income

producing

I

love

to

write

and

the

biggest

tip

I

received

from

a

friend

recently

was

to

offer

value

without

expecting

anything

in

return

basically

building

credibility

Which

is

what

Im

currently

focusing

on

among

other

stuff

What

I

would

look

forward

to

learning

is

how

to

make

my

existing

online

business

generate

profit

Not

too

sure

if

this

fits

what

youre

asking

for

but

I

thought

Ill

go

ahead

and

give

it

a

try

I

love

your

nononsense

approach

and

straight

talk

Its

very

unAsian

Thanks

Ramit

and

have

a

great

week

Justin

The

most

exciting

part

about

an

online

business

Helping

people

It

sounds

cheesey

but

its

true

For

the

golf

business

I

want

to

help

people

get

better

without

breaking

their

bank

For

the

ejuice

business

I

want

to

help

people

quit

smoking

real

cigarettes

and

someday

wean

them

off

ecigs

Obviously

making

money

and

freedom

is

up

there

but

golf

helped

me

by

prividing

a

sanctuary

and

ecigs

helped

me

finally

kick

my

smoking

habit

It

would

be

nice

for

me

to

give

something

back

Diamond

I

am

excited

that

my

work

could

fuel

and

excite

me

not

drain

me

I

could

add

to

this

excitement

and

passion

by

being

able

to

afford

to

take

my

family

on

trips

whenever

and

wherever

The

thought

that

this

is

possible

excites

me

so

much

John

My

job

covers

my

bills

with

some

left

over

every

cent

from

an

online

business

is

literally

extra

Do

I

blow

it

on

fun

and

games

Use

the

money

to

improve

the

online

business

andor

start

new

ventures

All

of

the

above

I

DONT

KNOW

But

the

idea

of

having

an

income

that

is

earmarked

as

for

whatever

I

want

is

pretty

exciting

Mark

What

excites

me

Freedom

Freedom

to

pursue

new

ideas

as

they

arise

Freedom

to

helpspend

time

with

others

Freedom

to

learn

more

about

things

that

interest

me

Freedom

to

travellive

where

ever

I

want

to

You

get

the

idea

Daniel

The

thought

of

making

heaps

of

money

intrigues

me

as

much

as

it

does

to

anyone

but

the

more

realistic

approach

would

probably

be

to

use

it

as

a

way

to

become

better

at

driving

a

business

and

all

the

logistics

behind

it

Emily

I

cant

wait

for

the

challenge

of

building

my

own

business

the

fulfillment

of

creating

something

that

will

leave

a

lasting

meaningful

impact

on

people

around

the

world

and

the

empowerment

that

others

will

feel

through

my

story

Im

ultimately

inspired

by

living

out

my

values

through

my

daily

life

and

helping

others

do

the

same

For

my

priorities

becoming

an

entrepreneur

especially

with

a

social

focus

is

a

way

for

me

to

develop

a

creative

and

independent

but

purposeful

system

for

living

I

look

forward

to

continuing

to

work

hard

to

be

challenged

to

connect

with

others

and

to

feel

true

ownership

over

my

daytoday

earnings

and

impact

Mark

I

have

always

worked

hard

and

taken

pride

in

what

I

deliver

to

my

customers

whether

it

was

hardware

software

or

services

What

would

excite

me

the

most

would

be

knowing

that

I

could

do

that

again

and

not

be

making

money

for

someone

else

My

own

business

would

give

me

the

flexibility

to

work

where

and

when

I

wanted

to

spend

more

time

with

my

family

and

provide

me

with

the

financial

security

I

need

on

my

own

terms

NIgel

Income

centred

on

doing

something

that

I

enjoy

is

what

appeals

to

me

most

Add

to

that

the

time

saved

where

I

could

pursue

other

interests

Karen

Ive

had

a

successful

but

unsatisfying

career

and

retired

as

soon

as

I

was

able

Im

too

young

to

be

hitting

up

the

retirement

funds

so

I

started

a

freelance

editing

business

Since

I

come

from

higher

education

Ive

been

editing

dissertations

and

faculty

journal

articles

My

income

is

sporadic

and

Im

always

looking

for

clients

grad

students

are

not

repeat

customers

one

PhD

is

enough

I

come

from

an

IT

and

HR

background

but

Im

not

sure

how

to

leverage

that

into

a

business

Ive

been

doing

volunteer

work

for

a

person

who

started

a

program

for

homeless

drug

Mark

I

am

excited

by

the

ability

to

start

a

profitable

online

business

in

order

to

gain

control

over

my

own

time

and

location

Using

it

as

a

tool

to

allow

myself

the

freedom

over

my

lifestyle

and

the

ability

to

truly

act

on

what

I

want

to

do

instead

of

react

based

on

my

circumstance

Mariel

Im

excited

to

start

an

put

my

skills

and

knowledge

to

work

for

me

that

I

dont

get

to

useget

paid

for

in

my

In

addition

being

able

reach

a

large

audience

and

creating

passive

are

dreamy

big

motivators

by

creating

and

maintaining

my

own

business

Having

the

ability

to

create

my

own

schedule

I

will

be

able

to

properly

focus

on

other

long

term

goals

I

have

Providing

a

service

or

product

to

people

I

am

excited

about

will

be

very

rewarding

What

Nothing

Vivian

Being

successful

is

exciting

It

is

a

great

feeling

to

be

successful

Not

only

successful

making

money

but

enjoying

family

and

friends

What

excites

me

the

most

is

reaping

the

rewards

of

my

efforts

while

doing

something

I

enjoy

Chance

Ive

been

wanting

to

start

a

business

to

disrupt

the

music

publishing

market

When

I

was

a

music

teacher

I

hated

having

to

wait

on

backordered

music

or

pieces

that

constantly

went

out

of

print

and

were

impossible

to

get

ahold

of

If

I

pay

for

it

today

I

should

be

able

to

have

it

in

my

hands

today

and

I

want

to

create

a

business

that

focuses

on

doing

exactly

that

for

musicians

and

music

teachers

all

over

the

world

Im

excited

about

the

idea

of

being

the

instrument

to

cause

a

paradigm

shift

in

the

industry

but

Im

also

fearful

of

it

I

think

thats

what

has

been

holding

me

back

on

the

idea

Ramit

Sethi

This

is

a

good

starting

vision

Questions

to

ask

Has

this

already

been

tried

Why

hasnt

this

worked

Who

wants

this

Who

will

pay

If

they

want

it

and

are

willing

to

pay

again

ask

yourself

Why

hasnt

this

already

happened

Whos

against

this

How

would

you

differentiate

yourself

This

is

a

good

reminder

that

an

idea

is

one

thing

You

have

to

dig

deeper

to

truly

understand

the

BUSINESS

side

of

your

idea

Is

it

viable

How

big

We

dont

want

to

just

follow

our

passion

We

want

to

think

strategically

about

the

business

side

before

we

invest

lots

of

time

and

money

in

an

idea

Norah

Online

businesses

have

the

potential

to

reach

far

more

people

than

a

traditional

business

venture

I

know

lots

of

people

who

work

in

nonprofits

who

are

overworked

and

underpaid

but

do

it

because

they

feel

they

are

making

a

difference

I

love

the

idea

of

starting

a

business

that

is

useful

for

the

world

at

large

and

beneficial

for

me

If

I

could

take

my

dream

trip

across

Southeast

Asia

and

then

Northern

Africa

and

then

India

and

then

South

America

did

I

mention

I

love

to

travel

and

have

my

business

at

home

doing

good

for

people

I

think

Maria

I

have

had

an

idea

about

a

business

in

my

mind

for

a

while

now

I

would

love

to

be

able

to

say

no

and

stop

grasping

for

clients

because

with

my

online

business

I

have

created

an

adequate

enough

nest

egg

that

will

allow

me

to

all

at

the

same

time

live

a

nice

lifestyle

do

work

that

I

love

to

do

have

a

fair

amount

of

free

time

for

myself

and

for

my

family

have

the

prestige

of

owning

a

business

and

perhaps

even

becoming

a

job

creator

Kristy

What

most

excites

me

about

starting

an

online

business

is

the

opportunity

to

try

something

new

Im

no

longer

stimulated

at

my

parttime

job

and

I

stay

at

home

with

my

daughter

the

rest

of

the

time

which

is

great

but

Im

in

need

of

some

me

time

and

a

new

challenge

while

possibly

making

enough

money

to

do

more

of

the

things

we

love

Dave

Been

able

to

create

a

business

that

would

help

people

whilst

been

fun

to

do

and

getting

money

for

it

as

you

sleep

what

wouldnt

excite

you

about

it

Also

the

chance

of

not

having

to

work

the

but

working

yourself

and

actually

creating

something

that

I

could

say

I

did

that

THAT

excites

me

Daniel

The

process

of

hard

work

and

contributing

to

something

that

I

OWN

and

not

someone

else

is

what

excites

me

most

Breaking

my

back

for

previous

jobs

when

there

is

not

an

appreciative

boss

is

one

of

the

worst

experiences

in

my

opinion

Working

toward

achieving

financial

freedom

and

the

possibility

of

helping

others

is

what

excites

me

most

about

operating

an

online

business

Sean

D

Im

excited

about

this

new

course

offering

because

I

see

the

internet

everywhere

Hell

most

people

carry

it

around

in

their

back

pocket

iPhone

and

android

hold

a

very

large

market

share

making

it

easier

for

people

to

buy

stuff

on

the

go

Just

observing

the

people

I

work

with

they

are

constantly

talking

about

a

purchase

they

just

made

on

Amazon

Nike

iTunes

eBay

The

list

goes

on

I

want

a

piece

of

that

pie

Eric

If

you

want

Ill

share

real

stories

of

the

passive

income

crowd

and

how

much

they

really

earn

that

will

blow

your

mind

I

am

going

to

be

the

one

that

admits

he

likes

gossip

even

if

its

of

the

truth

be

told

kind

Yes

I

want

that

Suz

deMello

I

love

what

I

do

I

write

erotic

romance

and

I

look

forward

to

getting

the

readers

my

work

deserves

Not

only

do

I

want

to

make

a

decent

living

but

I

want

my

books

to

be

read

and

enjoyed

Michael

What

excites

me

the

most

is

building

a

business

around

things

that

I

love

to

do

Making

money

from

something

that

I

would

do

for

free

is

also

a

huge

draw

The

possibility

of

being

able

to

leave

my

work

in

Afghanistan

as

a

defense

contractor

is

also

a

big

draw

When

I

do

return

home

I

dont

want

to

have

to

work

a

normal

job

that

I

know

I

will

be

burnt

out

on

within

months

from

doing

unmeaningful

menial

work

towards

someone

elses

agenda

I

want

the

freedom

and

independence

that

is

gained

from

running

an

online

Beth

The

most

exciting

thing

Flexibility

Being

able

to

manage

my

time

according

to

my

priorities

rather

than

having

to

throw

a

huge

chunk

of

it

out

the

window

according

to

somebody

elses

whim

Jim

the

excitement

comes

from

the

freedoms

created

and

shared

with

others

being

unbound

by

location

free

to

travel

the

world

for

business

being

unbound

by

the

clock

able

to

come

and

go

with

income

produced

while

away

from

the

business

financially

free

to

help

others

in

need

able

to

buy

without

thoughts

completely

content

with

inner

peace

living

and

loving

by

seizing

the

day

living

the

dream

fully

and

loving

it

Carpe

What

I

find

most

exciting

about

the

concept

of

Online

Business

is

how

diverse

it

can

be

Theres

literally

thousands

of

niches

to

be

filled

and

the

Internet

is

defined

by

the

personal

spin

people

can

give

something

Of

course

this

also

happens

to

be

where

we

all

tend

to

get

paralysed

by

indecision

notably

because

of

how

MANY

choices

there

are

And

how

any

success

requires

us

to

get

to

work

and

focus

on

a

specific

Domainniche

and

create

an

actual

product

not

just

another

daydream

n

our

heads

John

I

work

with

some

fascinating

folks

on

a

side

business

It

is

a

fabulous

idea

to

be

able

to

build

a

online

business

framework

so

that

they

could

focus

all

of

their

passion

and

energy

on

the

products

as

for

some

more

than

others

their

comfort

level

with

the

sales

and

marketing

worlds

is

pretty

low

I

would

love

to

be

able

to

take

that

burden

away

from

them

and

to

free

up

their

time

as

well

The

other

thing

that

really

excites

me

about

an

opportunity

like

this

is

that

if

it

is

leveraged

properly

you

can

pursue

more

than

one

project

or

product

as

you

andor

the

market

evolves

Tate

Im

excited

about

the

feeling

of

creating

something

out

of

me

thats

valuable

to

others

And

the

way

I

know

it

so

is

by

getting

paid

while

Im

asleep

Todd

Sims

To

echo

the

other

comments

the

most

attractive

thing

about

starting

an

online

business

is

flexibility

and

freedom

Theres

a

quote

sorry

I

can

not

recall

the

source

that

says

If

you

help

enough

people

get

what

they

want

you

will

get

what

you

want

Maybe

is

was

Zig

Ziglar

Earning

money

while

you

sleep

would

make

it

hard

to

sleep

Evie

Gerontis

What

doesnt

excite

me

might

be

a

better

question

I

want

the

flexibility

the

income

the

freedom

the

selfsatisfaction

the

challenge

the

spirit

of

entrepreneurship

All

of

that

excites

me

Really

looking

forward

to

this

I

tend

to

do

a

lot

of

research

and

sometimes

that

gets

overwhelming

So

I

am

tired

of

going

to

and

ready

for

doing

Thanks

Jami

There

are

so

many

exciting

things

but

probably

the

most

exciting

is

the

adventure

of

it

all

I

hope

to

create

something

i

enjoy

believe

in

can

be

proud

of

that

can

help

a

lot

of

people

I

would

love

the

flexibility

to

spend

more

time

with

my

mom

who

was

recently

diagnosed

with

a

debilitating

disease

Being

able

to

help

her

out

financially

would

be

a

great

gift

as

well

And

then

theres

the

Friday

afternoon

nap

I

was

selfemployed

for

several

years

and

this

is

the

thing

I

miss

the

most

Thank

you

for

all

you

do

Ramit

Jami

Rosie

The

idea

of

freedom

in

my

day

and

what

I

can

peruse

in

the

future

excites

me

The

idea

that

I

can

focus

on

a

topic

of

interest

and

that

people

would

want

to

listen

to

my

opinion

excites

me

The

idea

that

the

extra

money

I

make

could

allow

me

to

run

the

business

full

time

and

provide

me

with

the

finances

to

invest

in

future

business

ideas

really

excites

me

Jade

Im

excited

by

the

possibility

of

connecting

with

hundreds

perhaps

thousands

of

people

I

can

now

connect

with

by

virtue

of

the

internet

I

would

love

to

share

what

I

know

what

Ive

learned

the

hard

way

with

others

so

they

can

benefit

and

make

different

more

interesting

mistakes

than

the

ones

I

made

I

want

to

share

with

excitement

fun

and

a

feelgoodvibe

rather

than

the

grimness

that

seems

to

surround

education

in

general

Also

Ramit

you

rock

In

a

toughlove

kinda

way

Dave

I

have

many

fun

hobbys

building

an

online

business

around

one

of

them

and

having

more

time

to

do

those

hobbies

I

am

good

at

my

job

and

enjoy

it

but

I

would

enjoy

more

time

and

freedom

Mary

The

idea

of

working

for

myself

and

being

free

to

spend

my

time

the

way

I

choose

is

the

most

exciting

thing

about

online

business

Cassandra

What

excites

me

the

absolute

most

about

an

online

business

is

the

idea

of

not

having

to

ask

for

permission

to

take

the

time

to

care

for

myself

and

my

family

The

notion

of

no

longer

just

surviving

but

thriving

in

life

is

amazing

A

close

second

is

that

it

will

allow

me

to

find

satisfaction

in

helping

others

in

ways

I

could

only

dream

about

with

my

current

office

job

jennifa

thats

grt

Eman

Doing

what

i

am

passionate

about

getting

paid

for

that

and

being

known

for

i

am

doing

Ben

The

thing

that

excites

me

most

about

an

online

business

is

the

ability

to

follow

my

dreams

and

be

able

to

help

those

in

need

take

care

of

my

growing

family

and

have

time

to

enjoy

both

My

line

of

work

international

development

tends

to

lead

to

geographic

restrictions

in

where

you

can

live

tons

of

travel

away

from

your

family

and

measly

pay

I

look

forward

to

being

able

to

help

others

through

the

business

and

my

day

job

while

not

having

to

travel

around

on

someone

elses

schedule

Phil

You

can

have

the

customers

decide

if

they

like

your

product

instead

of

depending

on

the

judgement

of

your

supervisor

Doug

Abbott

Freedom

The

freedom

of

expression

to

integrate

my

passions

ideas

and

creativity

under

one

roof

and

to

get

paid

for

it

Freedom

The

freedom

to

travel

and

expand

my

perspective

on

the

world

Freedom

To

not

be

suppressed

The

ability

to

let

my

inspiration

be

fostered

and

turned

loose

Wealth

is

not

about

Wealth

is

about

being

able

to

do

the

things

you

enjoy

when

you

want

with

the

people

you

want

Granted

you

need

money

to

do

this

But

I

no

longer

equate

freedom

and

wealth

with

a

large

bank

account

I

equate

freedom

and

wealth

with

being

able

Nadine

Aside

from

the

personal

benefits

flexibility

spending

time

with

my

family

and

my

dog

income

traveling

etc

The

main

reason

for

me

starting

an

online

business

is

to

reach

out

to

a

mass

of

potential

clients

from

any

corner

of

the

globe

To

create

an

impact

and

to

add

value

on

a

global

scale

It

excites

and

freaks

me

out

at

the

same

time

But

the

idea

put

a

smile

on

my

face

Im

ready

Tariq

Online

Business

for

me

is

to

have

freedom

of

choice

and

higher

income

I

am

so

excited

at

the

moment

that

you

have

at

last

considered

it

right

to

reveal

out

the

secrets

and

the

system

that

actually

works

I

have

devoured

many

many

self

help

books

gurus

that

just

tell

be

passionate

be

hungry

be

consistent

but

most

of

the

time

it

does

not

work

Abdullah

Simply

put

i

think

the

most

exciting

thing

would

be

the

time

I

would

possibly

save

from

having

an

online

business

Be

part

of

the

New

Rich

as

Tim

Ferriss

calls

it

and

just

have

flexibility

to

do

things

I

feel

like

my

job

at

the

moment

is

mentally

draining

a

lot

of

hard

work

but

not

smart

work

An

online

business

would

mostly

entail

smart

work

and

that

excites

me

The

efficiency

of

it

all

Garrett

An

online

business

that

creates

a

recurring

revenue

stream

could

serve

as

my

retirement

income

or

would

at

least

help

me

build

up

a

nest

egg

from

which

to

generate

a

passive

income

in

the

future

Darya

Im

already

helping

thousands

of

people

but

I

want

to

build

something

that

is

data

driven

so

I

can

exponentially

improve

the

success

rate

for

people

who

want

to

use

my

methods

Jamie

The

most

exciting

thing

would

to

be

able

to

have

a

following

and

be

able

to

positively

affect

real

peoples

lives

on

a

daily

basis

Coupling

this

with

gaining

financial

and

TIME

freedom

would

be

the

ultimate

payoff

Melanie

The

thought

of

having

a

second

online

business

that

constantly

generates

income

is

incredibly

exciting

as

I

wouldnt

just

be

working

to

live

anymore

Although

I

do

currently

work

for

myself

it

is

literally

just

to

cover

the

cost

of

living

at

the

moment

and

Id

like

to

be

able

to

have

something

else

going

that

will

give

me

a

little

more

room

to

breath

and

be

able

to

actually

ENJOY

all

the

time

I

have

to

do

stuff

For

now

I

have

time

but

no

extra

finances

to

really

enjoy

anything

Im

really

looking

forward

to

learning

how

to

start

another

online

businessI

feel

like

its

definitely

time

to

take

working

for

myself

to

the

next

level

Khurana

Hi

Ramit

As

I

come

out

of

college

this

June

I

want

to

do

something

unconventional

Starting

an

online

business

at

an

early

stage

of

my

career

provides

plenty

of

opportunity

for

me

to

make

mistakes

in

order

to

learn

how

to

build

something

that

attracts

people

by

adding

value

not

memorizing

the

Ps

off

a

marketing

textbook

The

ability

to

influence

people

through

an

online

business

is

extremely

exciting

Ab

still

working

on

the

Sumeet

Sahni

What

excites

me

the

most

is

being

able

to

provide

useful

no

bullshit

fitness

education

to

people

around

the

world

and

make

money

Doing

what

I

love

and

not

only

helping

other

progress

but

helping

myself

progress

as

well

Plus

the

idea

of

not

having

a

boss

sitting

on

the

beach

in

Thailand

on

a

Monday

morning

and

making

money

is

pretty

badass

Jordan

Ramit

what

makes

me

most

excited

about

an

online

business

is

specificity

and

scaleability

You

can

create

a

super

niched

product

that

provides

a

ton

of

value

to

a

very

small

specific

audience

that

of

people

would

think

is

stupidworthless

and

that

they

would

be

happy

and

thankful

to

pay

a

lot

for

it

is

awesome

Plus

the

amazing

benefit

of

digital

cost

of

goods

sold

makes

it

even

more

exciting

Maria

Freedom

and

Flexibility

Internal

freedom

from

being

at

the

mercy

of

others

ie

employers

society

down

market

etc

gives

you

confidence

you

can

make

it

despite

external

circumstances

Flexibility

to

enjoy

the

memorable

moments

of

your

life

By

doing

what

you

love

and

getting

paid

you

have

the

time

to

go

to

the

field

and

watch

your

kids

play

sports

instead

of

catching

glimpses

of

them

when

youre

running

back

to

your

home

office

after

dinner

to

put

out

a

fire

at

work

Katie

Felten

I

havent

really

had

a

passion

for

starting

an

online

business

because

I

am

not

sure

what

Id

want

it

to

be

however

I

am

excited

that

I

could

give

me

freedom

to

take

some

time

to

figure

out

what

I

want

to

do

next

in

my

life

I

feel

like

I

am

at

a

crossroads

and

I

want

to

be

able

to

take

the

time

to

really

explore

myself

right

now

I

would

love

to

be

able

to

follow

my

passions

travel

and

spend

more

time

outdoors

I

want

to

be

able

to

help

people

without

worrying

about

the

Joe

Working

under

my

terms

being

my

own

boss

having

greater

control

over

To

be

able

to

go

on

impromptu

trips

as

soon

as

I

get

itchy

feet

to

anywhere

in

the

world

and

to

go

volunteer

anywhere

in

the

world

without

worrying

about

costsensuring

I

have

income

to

pay

the

bills

Jesse

What

excites

me

about

an

online

business

is

that

I

would

not

have

to

physically

see

my

customers

I

have

a

fear

of

communicating

with

customers

face

to

face

John

I

think

my

comments

will

be

similar

to

everyone

elses

The

ability

to

generate

income

doing

something

that

you

love

and

that

adds

value

to

your

life

and

to

the

world

is

incredibly

attractive

The

ability

to

build

your

life

and

lifestyle

around

an

income

that

doesnt

require

your

constant

presence

is

what

we

all

dream

of

I

would

do

anything

to

get

to

that

level

John

Cant

wait

for

MaryLouise

Torres

Being

in

Answering

to

myself

Having

less

time

to

bitch

about

my

job

and

more

time

to

celebrate

being

alive

Sharing

my

success

with

my

family

Loving

Shikha

Kaiwar

Starting

an

online

business

means

being

able

to

share

my

passion

for

desserts

at

scale

with

people

around

the

country

After

working

in

a

restaurant

for

years

and

maintaining

a

food

blog

for

I

want

to

combine

everything

I

love

about

pastries

and

the

Internet

make

things

that

are

delicious

and

that

anyone

can

try

Im

not

some

super

fancy

fine

dining

cook

and

Ive

worked

in

a

Michelin

star

restaurant

so

I

say

this

with

confidence

not

modesty

but

I

know

I

can

make

some

killer

stuff

and

I

want

people

to

be

able

to

eat

it

AWESOME

With

your

I

can

already

see

different

This

is

going

to

be

fun

Deitra

Im

excited

to

put

in

the

hardwork

to

build

my

online

business

and

to

maintain

the

quality

time

to

spend

with

my

husband

The

An

businesssynonymous

with

freedom

flexibility

creativity

and

value

I

have

been

taking

baby

steps

towards

creating

an

online

business

by

starting

a

blog

called

Office

Paradise

wwwofficeparadisenet

Its

just

my

little

creative

outlet

where

I

discuss

how

to

find

Paradise

during

the

to

go

figure

that

Im

on

THIS

website

I

would

love

to

take

it

to

the

next

level

thoughand

Im

not

sure

how

to

do

itor

even

if

there

is

a

profitable

idea

hiding

away

in

there

or

if

I

should

focus

on

other

things

I

am

so

excited

to

explore

this

topic

further

Thanks

Tim

Ive

always

sold

a

service

in

the

tangible

marketplace

Im

excited

to

sell

a

product

online

no

just

for

the

novelty

but

for

the

difference

in

scalability

Maestro

Adding

value

to

others

and

being

known

as

an

expert

of

my

field

this

excites

me

about

running

my

own

online

business

Apart

from

the

lifestyle

perks

as

well

Shayna

I

already

have

an

online

business

with

some

leveraged

income

My

subscribers

and

customers

love

my

material

and

frequently

write

me

to

tell

me

so

Yet

I

struggle

with

the

line

between

free

and

paid

content

and

with

conversion

encouraging

more

people

on

my

list

to

move

from

the

first

to

the

second

in

a

genuine

helpful

way

not

beating

people

over

the

head

with

pitches

or

making

absurd

claims

about

the

product

Sometimes

I

think

I

am

giving

away

too

much

free

and

there

is

simply

little

motivation

to

buy

because

my

absurdly

large

number

of

subscribers

are

completely

satisfied

with

the

free

content

Someone

just

wrote

me

and

said

thank

you

for

your

free

website

ARGH

messaging

problem

What

most

excites

me

the

opportunity

to

make

a

real

positive

impact

in

peoples

lives

and

be

amply

rewarded

for

it

with

financial

and

location

freedom

Ramit

Sethi

I

went

through

exactly

this

I

can

show

you

the

framework

I

developed

to

answer

your

question

about

free

vs

paid

content

Sethi

AJ

candidly

I

dont

think

this

for

you

I

recommend

Ellen

Having

a

business

where

it

doesnt

matter

where

I

live

who

I

hang

out

with

what

I

do

with

my

own

time

and

where

I

have

time

when

I

want

it

and

that

does

more

than

just

pays

the

bills

thats

what

excites

me

most

about

having

a

successful

online

business

Samantha

I

joined

the

military

and

I

picked

a

job

where

Im

learning

absolutely

nothing

I

feel

stuck

because

I

have

years

left

and

I

know

by

the

end

of

these

years

I

will

know

what

I

know

now

So

creating

and

online

business

allows

me

to

feel

as

if

Im

doing

something

with

my

life

Now

all

I

have

to

do

now

is

figure

out

what

type

of

business

to

start

I

am

extremely

excited

for

your

future

emails

Anthony

What

would

excite

me

most

about

an

online

business

is

the

freedom

provided

Im

talking

being

able

to

take

a

day

and

just

wander

around

NYC

in

the

park

freedom

A

lot

of

brick

and

mortar

jobs

destroy

creativity

I

want

to

have

the

freedom

to

be

creative

in

my

own

medium

Eventually

I

want

to

change

the

world

with

the

business

I

start

Its

exciting

when

you

get

a

pay

pal

payment

confirmation

and

to

know

those

came

from

your

own

unquie

productefforts

Theres

great

beauty

in

that

Roland

I

really

love

telemark

skiing

and

no

longer

trading

hours

for

money

would

enable

me

and

my

family

to

go

skiing

more

often

and

longer

Perhaps

even

move

to

a

ski

resort

Ciprian

No

more

cheap

clients

trying

to

hustle

some

euros

from

me

Being

able

to

do

what

i

like

without

the

need

to

run

after

clients

Ashton

What

excites

me

about

an

online

business

is

the

possible

freedom

and

flexibility

I

am

a

year

old

in

college

who

has

realized

that

I

am

studying

to

work

for

someone

else

That

is

not

what

I

want

I

hope

to

become

my

own

boss

Where

is

it

I

any

Ramit

Sethi

Haha

Ive

already

had

people

email

me

to

buy

the

course

sight

unseen

Patience

But

read

a

layer

deeper

How

do

you

create

such

a

powerful

online

brand

that

people

ask

to

buy

the

product

without

ever

seeing

it

How

do

you

build

such

credibility

and

trust

that

people

will

fork

over

money

without

even

knowing

what

theyre

getting

Well

cover

this

in

ZTL

Rsingh

Hmmm

thats

a

great

point

personally

I

believe

in

your

philosophy

IWTYTBR

was

a

life

changer

and

automated

my

investment

approach

I

didnt

do

Earn

but

started

a

side

business

thats

doing

well

but

I

wanna

do

something

bigger

nowI

purchased

Noah

Ks

system

and

follow

Tim

ferris

and

others

from

your

crew

but

have

been

waiting

for

something

like

this

that

ties

it

all

together

lets

do

this

Bella

Taj

Need

money

I

Ramit

Sethi

Bella

needs

money

and

can

not

even

finish

his

comment

with

proper

punctuation

I

am

going

to

go

out

on

a

limb

here

and

say

Bella

will

not

be

successful

with

his

online

business

Jordan

The

most

exciting

thing

to

me

is

something

typical

of

a

millennial

personalization

I

love

that

not

only

can

I

personalize

my

app

order

on

my

phone

my

Starbucks

drinkand

my

shop

and

save

on

Amazon

But

I

can

personalize

my

life

Sign

me

up

I

can

have

a

business

tailored

to

me

where

I

dont

even

have

to

be

a

slave

to

work

I

can

be

an

entrepreneur

as

well

as

travel

and

experience

life

Being

an

online

business

owner

would

give

me

the

freedom

to

explore

everything

I

want

to

in

life

Talk

about

spectacular

Jordan

Also

Ramit

will

Zero

have

a

requirement

of

being

debtfree

like

I

am

on

schedule

to

be

by

March

of

next

year

Hallelujah

Nicole

Ive

been

waiting

for

you

to

launch

a

course

like

this

ever

since

I

first

started

reading

this

blog

Ive

wanted

to

do

this

for

awhile

and

I

am

so

glad

you

are

launching

this

course

The

most

exciting

thing

for

me

about

starting

an

online

business

is

being

able

to

finally

learn

the

mysteries

behind

what

it

takes

to

make

a

business

successful

online

Ive

always

wondered

how

is

it

that

people

know

what

to

do

How

do

they

get

ideas

How

do

people

who

have

zero

coding

experience

start

something

online

and

become

successful

I

dont

know

how

James

The

possibility

of

having

a

relaxed

schedule

and

freedom

to

travel

take

classes

visit

friends

as

opposed

to

being

mired

in

the

grind

this

is

a

big

draw

for

me

the

ULTIMATE

draw

really

Justin

What

excites

me

most

is

the

creation

of

something

great

To

know

that

I

did

it

That

I

took

an

idea

and

turned

it

into

passive

income

And

this

idea

is

able

to

help

others

That

would

be

awesome

Anthea

What

most

excites

me

about

the

idea

of

running

a

successful

online

business

is

the

idea

of

enjoying

life

both

work

and

leisure

rather

than

simply

struggling

to

get

through

to

the

weekend

and

living

for

vacation

Anthea

I

just

read

your

comment

on

good

and

bad

comments

and

this

stood

out

focusing

on

OTHER

PEOPLE

the

right

people

is

one

of

the

keys

to

a

successful

online

business

I

think

thats

the

root

of

most

of

my

motivation

problems

I

need

to

figure

out

who

my

right

people

are

and

what

value

I

can

offer

them

If

I

know

Im

helping

people

I

care

about

Ill

be

able

to

push

through

any

tough

times

Mark

What

excites

me

the

most

is

the

opportunity

I

love

that

what

I

put

in

is

what

I

get

out

of

it

I

love

that

I

can

create

my

own

path

and

rely

on

myself

to

generate

income

Not

only

that

but

the

challenge

of

having

to

dig

deep

within

myself

to

bring

out

my

best

possible

work

to

help

others

is

exciting

Already

being

laid

off

at

in

a

field

that

I

am

very

passionate

about

opened

my

eyes

to

getting

creative

with

how

I

am

going

to

generate

income

Looking

back

it

seems

silly

to

rely

on

another

person

to

pay

my

bills

I

would

like

to

take

that

into

my

own

hands

Love

which

is

still

under

I

have

a

framework

for

this

business

where

I

will

follow

the

steps

Sometimes

I

made

little

progress

best

possible

is

what

really

excites

me

Building

a

business

worth

something

on

excites

Having

the

money

to

do

what

ever

excites

Freedom

Being

At

all

want

The

is

calling

Three

of

the

most

beautiful

things

in

life

are

work

ethic

selfreliance

and

adventure

Having

an

online

business

makes

that

possible

My

parents

think

being

an

entrepreneur

is

only

for

inventors

My

biggest

hurdle

is

breaking

social

conditioning

diverting

from

my

safe

path

to

a

good

job

and

living

my

dream

Why

are

Indians

so

much

more

likely

to

become

entrepreneurs

Share

the

secret

I

picked

up

your

the

day

by

the

way

A

lot

of

it

was

not

useful

since

Im

Swedish

but

Im

still

getting

value

from

it

I

just

moved

my

from

an

There

is

nothing

Katrina

Having

a

successful

online

business

that

is

meaningful

to

consumers

and

myself

that

generates

its

own

revenue

would

give

me

back

real

quality

time

for

my

family

and

myself

to

do

all

the

things

we

dreamed

of

doing

which

is

most

important

Financial

freedom

and

being

able

to

have

control

of

are

definitely

motivators

things

that

excite

me

most

Taking

the

earn

generated

business

that

Ive

started

Im

bringing

in

a

solid

at

the

moment

and

turning

it

into

a

powerful

machine

that

replicates

my

efforts

on

behalf

of

my

clients

and

helping

them

fish

for

themselves

and

see

me

as

their

goto

guide

in

the

industry

Supporting

a

brandnew

industry

in

its

infancy

and

watching

as

it

explodes

across

the

nation

Seeing

people

and

states

support

the

movement

because

it

genuinely

helps

people

access

the

medicine

they

need

to

be

happily

alive

not

struggling

to

get

by

daily

At

the

end

of

it

all

being

able

to

say

I

was

of

something

so

much

bigger

Im

about

to

enter

a

doctorate

program

and

will

potentially

rack

up

or

more

per

year

in

student

loan

debt

I

wont

be

able

to

work

full

time

for

three

years

but

nothings

stopping

me

from

running

a

successful

and

profitable

online

business

to

earn

money

during

that

time

The

thought

of

maintaining

my

current

lifestyle

spending

and

travel

habits

AND

avoiding

student

loan

debt

really

gets

me

going

PS

Taking

Ramits

at

the

end

of

I

actually

started

an

online

business

in

early

January

Im

making

and

selling

simple

nutritious

protein

bars

for

athletes

wwwbkbetterbarcom

But

its

only

generating

a

few

hundred

dollars

of

profit

I

can

do

better

and

am

eager

continue

the

profess

Eyram

Just

be

awesome

Thats

it

I

want

the

flexibility

to

be

awesome

without

thinking

about

money

Actually

I

only

care

about

money

because

it

lets

me

eat

and

not

e

stressed

about

tomorrow

Engineering

is

my

passion

Ive

never

been

smarter

than

any

of

my

classmates

and

I

dont

have

have

enough

practical

experience

to

build

anything

myself

But

I

want

to

be

able

to

show

you

can

do

it

without

backward

bosses

an

industry

politics

that

makes

all

our

buildings

including

those

you

think

could

never

fall

done

fail

instantly

No

more

hypocrisy

Lets

make

awesome

stuff

because

it

is

fun

and

it

makes

us

enjoy

life

more

Thats

what

excites

me

Building

cool

things

making

exciting

videos

of

it

and

sharing

with

others

along

with

stepbystep

instructions

on

how

to

do

it

so

even

a

toddler

that

learns

how

to

read

can

follow

the

instructions

I

hope

these

words

Im

writing

will

motivate

myself

to

finally

make

it

happen

Ive

been

thinking

about

this

for

years

and

Im

finally

ready

to

take

the

step

Even

with

just

years

of

industry

experience

Jeremy

Making

more

money

is

the

obvious

part

and

that

leads

to

increased

flexibility

to

enjoying

an

increasingly

comfortable

and

adventurous

lifestyle

Beyond

that

Im

actually

really

excited

to

build

and

strengthen

the

skill

set

around

marketing

ecommerce

adwords

etc

Im

already

immersed

in

books

on

the

subject

landing

page

optimization

sales

and

marketing

lean

startup

web

analytics

etc

Im

a

geek

what

can

I

say

Heather

The

thing

that

excites

me

most

about

starting

an

online

business

or

in

my

case

taking

my

business

to

a

consistently

profitable

level

is

the

stability

and

freedom

that

comes

from

gaining

an

income

that

isnt

dependent

on

anyone

else

Youre

able

to

truly

do

things

that

make

you

happy

while

taking

care

of

the

drudgery

of

business

or

eventually

hiring

out

keep

earning

while

youre

not

actively

hustling

unlike

freelancing

to

a

point

and

take

more

time

to

enjoy

the

day

to

day

fun

things

you

miss

out

on

if

busy

all

the

time

Sounds

like

a

win

to

me

Matthew

Theres

a

lot

I

could

say

but

to

bring

it

down

to

the

single

most

EXCITING

thing

to

me

about

starting

an

online

business

is

the

thought

that

the

audience

that

Im

looking

to

provide

value

to

is

worldwide

Ive

done

a

lot

for

my

friends

and

sometimes

have

been

paid

and

sometimes

havent

but

its

always

exciting

to

teach

someone

something

and

then

see

them

apply

it

While

that

second

part

might

be

rare

at

least

judging

from

a

couple

of

years

as

a

teaching

assistant

the

chance

to

see

a

community

of

people

thats

not

limited

by

geographical

boundaries

is

incredibly

exciting

All

that

being

said

I

have

no

idea

how

to

monetize

any

of

those

skills

I

could

teach

haha

So

the

chance

to

learn

about

that

is

pretty

exciting

in

and

of

itself

Faith

What

excites

me

most

is

being

able

to

reach

a

whole

lot

of

people

with

the

things

that

get

me

going

the

most

wang

Passive

income

would

be

fantastic

but

I

think

its

the

idea

of

flexibility

and

freedom

from

not

being

tied

down

to

a

job

that

is

most

enticing

to

me

Filip

I

love

helping

other

companies

to

succeed

and

I

created

couple

of

successful

businesses

but

all

of

these

project

needed

ME

So

even

I

left

for

vacation

to

Thailand

or

US

or

Spain

I

needed

to

carry

my

phone

and

deal

with

problems

of

other

people

eg

our

clients

I

am

now

trying

to

build

an

online

system

that

will

allow

me

to

study

more

consult

more

but

companies

I

choose

not

only

those

that

pay

me

most

and

attend

to

more

conferences

as

a

speaker

which

is

something

i

just

LOVE

doing

Looking

forward

Ramit

Elizabeth

What

excites

me

about

online

business

is

the

flexibility

to

work

whenever

and

wherever

I

want

especially

not

having

to

spend

hours

a

week

weeks

a

year

in

the

same

office

Plus

the

potential

to

make

a

living

from

work

that

is

based

on

my

interests

and

fits

my

life

and

my

philosophy

instead

of

having

to

fit

into

and

support

the

philosophy

of

someone

elses

organization

Justin

The

idea

that

excites

me

most

about

building

my

own

business

is

the

idea

of

contributing

only

to

the

businesses

and

individuals

I

love

and

respect

Lucas

H

Why

do

I

want

to

start

an

online

business

Freedom

Being

free

to

set

my

own

hours

and

reduce

them

until

theyre

automated

Being

free

from

an

employers

whims

and

fancies

Being

free

from

debt

or

having

to

take

loans

that

Ill

be

paying

off

for

the

rest

of

my

life

just

to

own

a

house

Being

free

to

take

a

vacation

take

sick

days

take

a

half

day

without

it

seriously

impacting

my

lifestyle

or

my

career

Freedom

through

my

own

business

excites

me

and

was

enough

to

convince

me

to

sign

up

Stacey

I

think

an

online

business

is

exciting

because

it

A

Allows

me

to

earn

money

while

Im

doing

other

things

and

work

when

I

want

to

B

Offers

an

opportunity

to

help

people

by

providing

a

product

or

around

the

rather

than

being

limited

physical

market

C

Plays

in

the

space

where

we

all

already

connect

and

spend

a

lot

of

our

time

each

day

if

done

right

it

can

link

almost

seamlessly

into

what

you

and

your

customers

already

do

Virginia

I

really

want

to

make

a

difference

in

peoples

lives

I

am

passionate

to

serve

others

and

I

know

I

am

capable

of

focusing

my

plethora

of

ideas

into

a

targeted

and

marketable

service

Where

I

fail

dismally

is

on

getting

clear

on

the

initial

ideait

really

falters

my

progress

I

want

to

start

with

something

simple

but

I

get

stumped

at

the

first

hurdle

it

is

the

one

issue

that

has

held

me

back

for

years

I

am

now

focusing

on

getting

a

better

job

so

that

I

can

really

support

my

longterm

goal

I

targeted

a

corporate

a

new

realm

for

me

company

I

had

allot

of

direct

experience

with

whos

core

values

I

really

admired

However

I

am

seriously

questioning

my

progress

on

this

path

after

I

recently

experienced

the

disillusion

of

a

very

disconnected

interview

the

interviewee

shot

standard

interview

questions

at

me

whilst

he

looked

at

his

iPad

made

random

notes

I

felt

I

was

being

hired

to

be

the

mouse

in

a

wheel

This

experience

strongly

highlighted

my

need

for

genuine

humancontact

and

an

honest

connection

with

people

As

a

result

this

experience

has

accelerated

my

genuine

desire

to

love

what

I

do

and

just

START

and

launch

my

own

business

It

is

my

goal

to

do

whatever

it

takes

to

serve

people

with

authenticity

Gary

I

love

the

idea

of

creating

an

online

revenue

generating

business

that

has

many

of

the

operational

features

automated

I

also

feel

it

would

be

exciting

to

have

a

bushiness

that

has

the

opportunity

to

generate

revenue

Goodbye

Mariana

I

dream

of

being

able

to

create

an

online

business

that

improves

other

peoples

lives

and

enables

me

to

spend

time

with

my

kids

and

family

all

over

the

world

and

not

be

tied

to

one

location

Being

in

the

position

to

give

back

to

causes

that

matter

to

me

is

also

very

exciting

Cant

wait

to

see

what

youve

got

for

us

Ramit

Rupert

The

idea

of

totally

blowing

away

the

competitors

with

a

truly

superior

product

line

and

services

in

my

niche

market

gets

me

excited

The

income

flexibility

and

freedom

are

attractive

The

FIRST

comment

talking

about

creating

a

truly

worldclass

product

Rupert

thanks

for

leaving

this

I

agree

Conor

Pendergrast

What

excites

me

the

most

is

the

ability

to

deliver

incredible

value

to

my

customers

through

products

and

services

while

working

from

wherever

I

want

in

the

world

whenever

I

want

Dave

What

excites

me

most

about

running

an

online

business

is

the

fact

that

its

online

coupled

with

the

fact

that

it

would

be

my

own

business

The

fact

that

it

its

online

would

provide

the

freedom

to

run

it

from

almost

anywhere

without

necessarily

being

bound

to

a

physical

office

or

other

location

Id

also

be

working

to

make

myself

profitable

instead

of

lining

the

pockets

of

someone

else

Ideally

my

goal

would

be

to

make

myself

profitable

enough

where

Id

be

able

to

actually

create

potential

employment

opportunities

for

others

eg

employees

as

well

Liz

What

excites

me

most

about

an

online

business

is

the

fact

that

it

would

location

independent

and

so

I

would

be

free

to

travel

and

do

other

things

while

working

Ash

The

ability

to

rapidly

move

from

prototype

to

product

and

sales

for

the

concepts

that

I

develop

essentially

creating

a

system

to

facilitate

introducing

all

the

products

I

have

jotted

down

in

notebooks

or

Evernote

Ideally

an

online

business

would

enable

me

to

focus

on

creating

cool

products

and

not

have

to

worry

as

much

about

constantly

driving

marketing

efforts

Daniel

You

know

what

excites

me

about

running

an

online

business

The

simple

fact

that

its

MY

business

and

Im

directly

benefiting

from

my

own

effort

No

more

working

a

hour

week

to

make

someone

else

rich

who

is

taking

it

easy

and

doing

what

THEY

want

to

do

while

delegating

the

workload

onto

me

who

is

making

a

mere

fraction

of

that

profit

I

get

incredibly

pumped

about

the

idea

of

having

a

business

that

continually

generates

passive

income

that

requires

much

less

actual

work

on

my

part

than

any

of

your

normal

jobs

that

have

set

the

status

quo

for

decades

Theres

the

quote

about

working

smarter

not

harder

Thats

the

life

I

want

Herman

What

excited

me

is

being

able

to

touch

and

impact

people

around

the

world

I

also

like

having

freedom

and

want

to

expand

my

network

Im

a

fulltime

employee

at

musical

instruments

store

I

have

always

dreamed

of

successful

I

want

to

take

the

next

step

I

love

at

You

would

definitely

help

me

develop

a

great

way

to

generate

more

income

and

thats

really

exciting

Passive

income

sounds

great

but

no

one

ever

shared

how

they

really

do

it

I

hope

you

do

Looking

to

hear

from

you

João

Pedro

Christina

Salerno

I

am

most

excited

about

the

creation

process

itself

of

building

a

business

The

challenge

is

exciting

flexibility

freedom

to

create

a

business

the

way

that

I

want

to

Instead

of

jumping

from

client

to

client

I

can

produce

something

I

am

passionate

about

and

find

people

who

want

that

too

I

dont

have

to

settle

my

vision

in

order

to

please

a

client

the

possibilities

seem

larger

bigger

more

visionary

more

revolutionary

I

get

to

wake

up

every

day

and

do

something

I

love

for

a

tribe

I

love

and

make

an

impact

Margaret

The

thing

that

most

excites

me

Independence

from

a

single

jobcity

I

long

to

be

able

to

pick

up

and

go

somewhere

and

an

online

business

could

go

with

me

anywhere

I

also

love

the

idea

of

being

an

awesome

oftreferenced

resource

on

a

particular

subject

I

know

its

a

reach

but

its

a

reach

that

would

be

totally

awesome

to

achieve

Julien

I

am

most

excited

for

the

independence

and

freedom

having

my

own

business

will

bring

me

I

know

it

will

mean

hard

work

but

the

idea

of

working

hard

for

something

I

am

passionate

for

and

have

created

myself

is

so

exciting

jason

What

excites

me

Freedom

having

options

in

life

regaining

self

confidence

self

reliance

Leon

Online

is

the

new

wave

and

I

really

want

to

get

my

feet

wet

The

low

barrier

of

entry

and

possibility

of

having

an

income

not

tied

to

my

work

hours

or

billings

sounds

great

to

me

Currently

I

have

to

work

to

get

paid

My

job

or

clients

rely

on

my

time

I

like

the

idea

of

a

business

that

will

earn

while

I

sleep

Im

certainly

not

scared

of

work

but

my

time

is

limited

so

I

like

the

idea

of

an

online

business

that

may

require

maintenance

but

not

a

hour

week

Jeff

Im

excited

about

the

opportunity

to

reach

new

customers

that

only

an

online

business

could

present

Matt

The

chance

to

have

the

time

to

enjoy

life

with

my

wife

instead

of

being

spending

days

of

my

life

making

another

guy

richer

Its

time

to

work

for

ME

Megan

C

Im

most

excited

about

knowing

that

what

Im

sharing

is

perceived

to

add

real

VALUE

to

peoples

lives

they

are

actually

willing

to

PAY

for

something

Im

producing

Beyond

that

the

freedom

that

creating

a

product

that

residually

creates

income

after

putting

in

the

TIME

and

EFFORT

once

instead

of

constantly

having

to

book

hours

in

order

to

be

paid

is

pretty

damn

exciting

Kendra

I

first

started

an

online

handmade

jewelry

business

in

and

ran

it

parttime

for

years

I

didnt

know

what

I

was

doing

and

it

was

very

slow

starting

but

gradually

I

was

making

sales

The

problem

was

that

it

just

wasnt

very

profitable

in

the

market

and

price

points

Id

put

myself

in

and

I

only

made

money

when

I

physically

crafted

a

profit

Not

a

very

scaleable

idea

and

after

a

while

I

lost

my

passion

for

the

craft

too

I

decided

it

wasnt

working

and

stopped

in

Despite

that

I

still

want

to

start

an

online

business

I

am

a

project

manager

full

time

and

Im

just

tired

of

doing

what

other

people

tell

me

to

in

ways

they

tell

me

to

do

it

and

for

reasons

that

are

often

political

rather

than

practical

Im

also

a

night

person

and

I

dont

enjoy

my

hours

or

my

commute

into

the

office

at

a

workplace

that

is

not

flexible

with

workfromhome

My

husband

and

I

are

also

looking

to

start

a

family

soon

and

Id

be

able

to

spend

more

time

with

them

For

an

online

business

this

time

around

Id

look

to

create

some

kind

of

digital

product

or

system

that

could

eventually

become

passive

income

and

that

could

start

as

parttime

until

it

made

enough

money

for

me

to

quit

my

job

Im

also

looking

for

something

more

spiritually

fulfilling

than

just

being

another

cog

in

a

corporate

machine

Id

rather

be

able

to

help

people

directly

by

providing

them

with

something

that

solves

a

problem

they

couldnt

solve

by

themselves

Raymond

What

excites

me

the

most

about

starting

an

online

business

is

the

passive

income

which

provides

me

with

the

time

plus

money

to

do

other

things

This

is

real

simple

and

may

not

sound

sexy

but

having

the

money

and

time

for

golf

lessons

and

money

and

time

to

go

out

play

rounds

of

golf

multiple

times

of

the

week

in

the

middle

of

the

day

Brandon

Richey

I

started

my

own

business

several

years

ago

building

technology

systems

for

homes

and

small

businesses

I

loved

the

creative

entrepreneur

process

of

building

the

business

I

loved

being

the

master

of

my

own

destiny

But

the

business

owned

my

life

days

a

week

support

calls

at

all

times

of

the

day

and

night

and

I

swore

Id

never

do

a

business

like

that

again

I

LOVE

the

idea

of

an

online

business

that

allows

me

the

freedom

to

raise

my

daughters

and

the

with

them

I

crave

being

back

in

the

worldI

just

cant

Matt

The

idea

that

I

can

focus

on

things

that

I

love

and

put

my

money

where

I

want

I

want

to

spend

time

with

my

family

and

raise

my

future

kids

with

my

wife

Not

just

be

the

guy

who

pays

the

bills

Having

a

business

that

I

enables

me

to

do

that

excites

me

Daniel

For

me

this

is

about

Having

a

goal

and

achieving

it

I

love

the

thought

of

having

a

following

of

people

and

creating

products

that

these

people

want

Expanding

my

income

I

started

a

business

out

of

college

years

ago

I

make

full

time

money

for

part

time

work

however

I

want

multiple

businesses

working

for

me

and

paying

me

each

month

I

already

have

flexibility

and

freedom

in

my

life

However

I

feel

like

Ive

lost

the

killer

instinct

that

I

had

before

This

is

simply

a

desire

for

more

and

the

personal

knowledge

that

I

had

a

goal

committed

to

it

and

achieved

it

Experience

Excited

people

actually

purchasing

my

product

Keith

Im

commenting

because

I

really

like

your

free

content

and

Ive

purchased

some

of

your

smaller

info

products

mostly

because

your

free

stuff

is

so

good

that

I

wanted

to

support

you

continuing

to

publish

that

stuff

but

Im

not

looking

to

start

an

online

business

anytime

soon

Looking

at

the

comments

below

Im

probably

the

only

person

on

here

thats

going

to

honestly

tell

you

that

Im

not

interested

in

this

at

least

right

now

that

could

always

change

in

the

future

Ramit

Sethi

Thats

totally

fine

I

appreciate

the

candor

This

isnt

for

everybody

This

is

just

one

part

of

living

a

Rich

Life

Keith

To

follow

up

I

AM

interested

in

building

an

online

BRAND

Im

not

looking

to

make

any

additional

money

but

I

do

want

to

make

sure

I

have

a

reputation

that

provides

me

with

as

many

opportunities

as

possible

Mohan

The

idea

of

creating

an

online

business

excites

me

because

it

will

allow

me

the

freedom

to

travel

and

also

help

in

the

community

I

like

to

volunteer

at

local

places

I

like

being

active

in

the

community

and

the

online

business

will

allow

me

to

do

that

I

also

like

to

go

to

India

and

other

places

and

enjoy

the

vast

cultures

and

live

each

day

as

though

it

was

my

last

There

are

many

exciting

aspects

of

an

online

business

Unfortunately

I

have

been

stuck

on

striking

up

an

idea

and

how

to

get

started

andrew

What

most

excites

me

about

starting

an

online

business

is

the

unpredictable

opportunities

that

come

with

doing

anything

outside

of

the

normal

box

A

lot

of

the

jobs

that

I

am

applying

to

right

now

have

a

career

trajectory

where

I

know

if

I

hit

my

targets

I

will

end

up

in

X

position

in

years

I

think

with

doing

something

creative

starting

an

online

business

freelancing

etc

the

upside

potential

is

yours

to

imagine

Id

love

to

help

people

but

just

am

not

sure

where

I

can

provide

the

most

value

I

just

started

a

blog

a

few

Steven

What

really

excites

me

is

to

be

part

of

the

new

rich

The

time

money

and

leverage

its

brings

to

our

lives

Eva

Doing

something

that

is

entirely

my

own

And

knowing

that

even

if

I

get

laid

off

from

the

job

I

love

I

wont

have

to

worry

about

income

Chika

I

think

for

me

I

just

want

to

be

able

to

have

freedom

and

control

over

my

own

life

Working

at

a

to

dictates

what

you

do

on

a

day

to

day

basis

and

how

much

you

make

For

me

its

not

all

about

the

money

I

just

want

to

be

able

to

do

all

the

things

I

want

and

have

the

freedom

to

do

it

when

and

where

I

want

to

Terra

What

excites

me

about

an

online

business

besides

the

freedom

that

not

having

to

report

to

a

job

and

being

my

own

employer

would

bring

me

The

opportunity

to

get

my

message

and

my

ability

to

work

with

people

to

manifest

change

in

their

lives

out

to

a

national

heck

even

a

global

audience

Right

now

a

brick

and

mortar

shop

restricts

me

to

my

region

so

my

services

are

not

known

in

the

world

Right

now

my

contacts

and

my

ability

to

bring

people

together

is

a

microcosm

I

want

to

meet

other

people

like

you

Ramit

and

bring

those

ideas

and

thoughts

out

to

a

wider

audience

that

I

know

could

benefit

Omar

What

excites

me

the

most

about

an

online

business

providing

I

get

to

the

point

of

generating

a

figure

income

annually

is

that

it

will

allow

me

to

move

on

from

so

many

paradigms

and

limiting

beliefs

around

making

money

and

how

to

generate

wealth

This

will

in

turn

allow

me

to

be

in

control

of

my

time

my

work

my

partnerships

and

the

way

to

enjoy

different

areas

in

life

All

of

the

above

while

being

able

to

grow

In

other

words

what

excites

me

the

most

would

be

FREEDOM

tim

the

most

exciting

thing

to

me

is

connecting

with

and

cultivating

a

community

of

people

If

my

productsstylevoice

resonate

with

people

I

want

those

people

in

my

life

Daniel

Having

an

online

business

will

make

me

earn

money

while

I

do

the

things

I

love

most

The

spare

time

and

financial

resources

that

itll

provide

will

allow

me

to

enjoy

my

youth

instead

of

sacrificing

it

working

my

ass

off

only

to

taste

freedom

when

its

too

late

for

many

things

The

idea

of

being

able

to

travel

around

the

world

without

the

pressure

of

a

deadline

no

worries

about

my

boss

taking

my

friends

out

for

dinner

taking

care

of

my

family

being

able

to

learn

all

I

want

with

the

best

etc

is

more

than

exciting

Its

Daniel

Zach

H

What

excites

me

the

most

about

an

online

business

is

the

prospect

of

creating

something

new

and

having

people

pay

for

it

Its

not

really

the

money

but

what

the

money

is

saying

that

other

people

value

what

I

can

give

them

Raphael

Linhares

What

excites

me

in

the

idea

of

starting

my

own

business

not

necessarily

online

is

to

be

rewarded

according

to

the

effort

I

make

not

just

the

amount

of

hours

I

sit

on

a

chair

The

Online

part

is

excellent

because

I

can

sit

on

this

chair

as

much

as

I

want

in

any

location

that

I

choose

Juan

I

love

programming

but

in

my

current

job

I

spend

a

lot

of

time

managing

what

others

think

that

must

be

done

Sometimes

Im

in

the

middle

of

a

meeting

wondering

why

I

should

be

there

when

its

just

a

way

to

perpetuate

the

illusion

of

doing

by

not

acting

at

all

What

excites

me

about

having

my

own

online

business

I

would

like

to

program

for

fun

and

to

spend

my

time

in

what

I

think

is

worth

to

do

And

being

able

to

do

it

earning

money

is

a

big

plus

Josh

Skaja

Two

things

making

enough

to

lead

a

rich

life

on

my

own

terms

and

creating

something

that

is

genuinely

useful

to

my

audience

Dave

The

most

exciting

thing

to

me

would

be

having

something

that

is

my

work

my

creation

getting

directly

into

the

hands

of

people

who

it

helps

the

most

or

can

use

it

Not

helping

people

as

a

cog

in

a

huge

business

but

a

direct

personal

impact

Something

that

has

my

name

on

it

not

company

X

Hank

I

am

excited

for

the

challenge

of

taking

a

business

from

nothing

to

potentially

something

that

I

cant

dream

about

right

now

I

want

to

have

a

service

that

customers

crave

for

I

firmly

believe

that

if

you

have

an

amazing

product

or

service

the

selling

is

the

easy

part

Who

needs

a

sales

guy

if

your

productservice

is

so

good

that

it

sells

itself

That

is

where

I

want

to

be

I

also

think

that

the

freedom

I

would

have

being

able

to

travel

work

nights

when

I

wanted

Im

a

true

insomniac

sounds

incredible

I

really

hope

this

isnt

a

too

good

to

be

true

thing

I

need

this

in

my

life

Hank

Ken

Siew

Im

totally

EXCITED

about

the

idea

of

incorporating

what

Ramit

learned

in

building

an

online

business

into

my

turnkey

real

estate

wholesaling

business

Id

love

to

be

able

to

share

with

other

people

the

financial

education

Ive

learned

over

the

years

from

books

courses

and

successful

people

And

I

want

to

be

able

to

just

visit

my

friends

and

family

in

my

home

country

Malaysia

whenever

I

want

while

keeping

myself

busy

at

work

while

traveling

all

over

the

world

I

believe

that

is

TRUE

financial

freedom

PS

Even

though

Im

building

passive

income

Ill

never

want

to

retire

or

stop

working

this

business

is

too

fun

to

walk

away

from

Hannah

Ransom

I

have

an

online

business

but

am

still

growing

it

to

the

point

I

want

it

to

be

at

Why

do

I

want

it

online

things

location

independence

and

being

able

to

get

the

word

out

to

more

people

I

want

to

make

great

money

and

share

information

with

a

lot

of

people

I

want

to

do

it

on

my

own

terms

and

attract

people

who

are

perfect

for

me

I

think

this

is

easier

done

online

I

live

in

a

big

city

so

its

possible

for

me

here

but

I

love

the

fact

that

I

can

reach

SO

MANY

perfectly

ideal

customers

online

and

not

be

tied

to

one

place

Jacqueline

What

excited

me

most

Freedom

Freedom

to

work

from

anywhere

Freedom

to

be

as

creative

as

I

want

Freedom

to

experiment

Freedom

to

do

new

things

without

permission

red

tape

This

one

of

the

best

things

about

having

an

online

business

thats

you

own

Joe

The

most

exciting

thing

would

be

to

get

paid

for

something

other

than

my

time

That

would

be

a

first

for

me

Dwayne

I

want

to

start

taking

action

Im

tired

of

reacting

to

life

and

situations

I

want

to

be

able

to

CHOOSE

who

I

make

money

for

and

who

I

give

my

time

to

KK

Ive

run

my

own

business

before

and

I

loved

the

freedom

to

create

create

my

day

create

revenue

generators

create

ways

to

indulge

my

passions

Im

excited

to

run

an

online

business

because

of

the

geographic

freedom

it

allows

Im

not

looking

to

get

out

of

doing

work

I

enjoy

working

Id

just

like

to

choose

where

I

do

it

from

and

how

muchhow

often

I

have

to

do

Also

Id

like

to

be

successful

to

show

that

women

can

succeed

in

this

space

too

In

my

experience

most

of

the

successful

online

businesses

or

at

least

the

ones

whose

founders

are

the

most

vocal

are

men

Id

like

to

set

a

different

example

for

women

out

there

Vincent

Im

excited

about

having

the

opportunity

to

create

a

better

life

than

the

one

I

currently

have

to

be

able

to

engage

in

fulfilling

work

instead

of

working

just

to

make

ends

meet

Living

towards

a

greater

purpose

for

myself

and

those

I

care

about

and

living

the

life

Ive

always

imagined

But

what

excites

me

the

most

is

the

opportunity

to

release

the

self

doubt

and

disappointment

that

Ive

allowed

to

hold

me

back

for

so

long

Astrid

Willis

What

excites

me

the

most

is

the

chance

to

build

something

truly

worthwhile

and

something

that

I

can

be

proud

of

I

am

looking

forward

to

the

chance

to

merge

my

best

skills

into

something

brand

new

Also

the

extra

income

would

give

me

choices

and

allow

me

to

live

a

life

that

keeps

inspiring

me

to

newer

and

greater

things

Nathan

Its

very

unrealistic

to

expect

to

enjoy

every

part

of

building

a

business

but

what

excites

me

is

the

freedom

to

not

having

to

do

things

that

I

think

are

unimportant

Robert

I

really

like

the

idea

of

creating

business

that

helps

people

to

achieve

more

gather

feedback

and

make

it

even

better

You

are

rolemodel

for

me

into

this

because

you

are

helping

so

many

people

to

live

richer

life

in

way

they

imagine

Mica

What

excites

me

Being

truly

independent

By

that

I

mean

not

depending

on

someone

else

to

provide

me

with

work

being

selfsufficient

being

able

to

work

from

anywhere

and

at

anytime

I

want

to

dictate

the

kind

of

projects

Im

involved

with

the

kind

of

customers

I

work

for

I

cant

do

that

with

a

day

job

that

I

depend

on

to

pay

for

my

lifestyle

Now

I

like

having

a

day

job

but

Id

like

to

not

be

a

slave

to

it

brian

The

idea

of

having

the

freedom

to

work

from

wherever

in

the

world

with

an

internet

connection

excites

me

Being

able

to

get

an

online

business

up

and

running

and

then

having

the

flexibility

to

spend

time

with

and

provide

for

my

family

is

an

incredible

dream

for

me

Also

just

starting

and

having

a

successful

business

in

something

I

TRULY

care

about

something

I

love

doing

and

dont

need

to

rush

to

retire

from

is

inspiring

Thanks

for

all

that

you

do

business

would

allow

me

to

rely

less

on

my

and

eventually

gain

freedom

As

cliche

as

it

is

financial

independence

James

Mathison

Why

build

a

business

any

other

way

It

can

be

done

from

ANYWHERE

be

as

small

or

as

large

as

you

want

and

its

the

way

the

world

is

going

Im

most

excited

about

learning

the

flow

of

money

how

to

generate

stuff

that

works

for

people

and

the

possibility

of

that

awesome

digital

nomad

lifestyle

that

Ive

but

tasted

Andrew

I

dont

really

have

a

passion

I

am

excited

about

turning

into

a

business

I

really

want

to

sell

physical

products

But

I

need

to

learn

how

to

do

this

to

free

myself

from

the

desperationdriven

corporate

work

place

I

want

to

be

free

to

work

in

the

ways

that

I

work

naturally

and

be

free

to

focus

on

the

job

I

am

doing

and

the

things

I

building

without

the

metagame

of

office

politics

I

also

want

to

build

a

stable

incomegenerating

source

of

money

for

my

and

extended

Justin

The

most

exciting

aspect

of

an

online

business

to

me

is

the

freedom

it

wouldcould

afford

In

my

industry

there

are

some

days

weeks

even

weekends

where

we

work

hour

days

and

Saturdays

Sundays

At

other

times

Im

looking

for

something

meaningful

to

do

on

a

Tuesday

afternoon

Despite

the

assymetry

of

the

work

load

I

drive

to

sit

in

a

cube

hours

a

day

My

vision

of

an

online

business

or

any

selfdriven

business

for

that

matter

is

that

I

decide

how

and

where

I

spend

my

time

I

want

the

flexibility

to

prioritize

my

time

and

Dave

Sandel

The

thing

that

excites

me

the

most

about

having

an

online

business

is

giving

me

the

freedom

to

do

what

I

love

untether

myself

from

my

cubicle

live

my

life

how

on

my

own

terms

and

not

worry

about

putting

food

on

my

plate

as

opposed

to

if

I

just

up

and

quit

my

job

right

now

with

nothing

else

to

fall

backexcept

another

cubicle

job

that

would

be

just

as

bad

I

already

have

a

decent

thing

going

for

myself

online

httplowgravityascentscom

and

all

the

corresponding

social

media

But

I

have

no

clue

how

to

monetize

it

Other

people

are

doing

similar

things

and

making

money

at

it

but

theyre

not

living

the

high

life

by

any

means

My

deficiency

is

A

Not

even

knowing

how

to

make

any

money

at

it

and

B

making

it

more

successful

than

others

I

am

continually

told

you

cant

make

money

in

the

outdoor

industry

Everyone

wants

in

Anytime

you

have

an

opportunity

you

take

it

because

someone

else

is

willing

to

do

it

cheaper

just

to

get

their

foot

in

the

door

EFF

THAT

Im

a

firm

believer

I

CAN

do

what

Im

doing

with

some

tweaks

and

adjustments

and

better

systems

make

they

However

I

have

grown

to

that

is

actually

more

than

business

if

do

it

the

People

need

to

understand

this

Lots

of

heavy

lifting

Many

of

us

are

not

in

a

position

to

outsource

or

take

out

so

you

better

know

how

to

manage

your

and

what

areas

to

focus

you

time

on

as

there

is

only

hours

in

a

day

or

youll

get

paralyzed

with

information

overload

Here

are

the

tasks

that

I

juggle

The

most

exciting

part

of

having

an

online

business

is

that

it

would

give

me

FREEDOM

to

livetravel

where

I

want

too

and

there

are

many

places

I

havent

seen

in

the

world

Id

also

like

to

spend

more

time

with

my

friends

where

they

live

than

a

couple

of

days

Emily

Bradley

Being

free

I

do

not

have

to

meet

any

elses

standard

of

anything

I

could

spend

my

time

doing

things

that

are

valuable

to

me

and

make

me

happy

away

from

the

dreaded

glow

of

fluorescent

Anthony

This

is

what

Ive

been

struggling

with

the

for

the

last

few

years

building

a

successful

online

business

Ive

tried

an

online

based

apparel

company

and

a

remote

personal

training

site

but

the

problem

has

been

finding

clients

Ive

done

the

Earn

program

but

I

couldnt

even

find

my

first

three

clients

I

see

however

other

people

do

these

same

things

with

great

success

or

so

they

claim

Ive

tested

several

different

additional

ideas

but

each

time

I

couldnt

find

clients

or

people

would

be

interested

and

then

completely

fall

off

Perhaps

they

would

do

a

freetrial

and

then

disappear

without

even

giving

me

feedback

Im

creating

another

one

soon

dedicated

to

golf

fitness

but

well

see

It

all

comes

down

to

finding

clients

online

With

that

said

I

did

enjoy

It

helped

me

expand

my

inperson

freelance

business

which

is

exactly

what

I

wanted

I

just

feel

that

with

an

online

business

I

can

really

live

the

life

I

want

remote

and

traveling

while

making

more

money

Looking

forward

to

What

excites

me

most

about

having

an

online

business

is

that

I

can

for

the

most

part

work

anywhere

with

an

internet

connection

and

at

anytime

That

allows

me

to

the

freedom

and

flexibility

to

spend

time

with

my

growing

family

An

online

business

will

also

allow

me

to

fully

leverage

technology

so

that

I

can

as

you

stated

in

the

comments

below

get

more

results

per

hour

A

hiring

manager

recently

tried

to

recruit

me

to

his

firm

He

was

telling

me

how

much

he

was

making

and

asked

me

how

much

I

would

like

to

make

I

told

him

I

would

like

to

make

X

amount

but

if

Im

working

hours

a

week

thats

not

worth

it

to

me

A

colleague

of

mine

has

an

online

business

He

took

a

trip

overseas

for

months

and

I

didnt

doubt

that

he

was

still

making

money

as

he

was

away

Aaron

The

excitement

For

me

its

not

the

money

or

the

freedom

although

those

are

the

builtin

gifts

For

me

its

to

be

beholden

to

no

one

And

then

if

I

want

to

travel

help

the

world

spend

more

time

with

family

invest

its

all

on

the

table

I

decide

Lindsey

The

prospect

of

getting

paid

for

something

I

created

really

EXCITES

me

Its

that

simple

I

grew

up

with

tons

of

ISs

Invisible

Scripts

centered

around

the

fact

that

I

was

destined

for

lowermiddle

class

life

as

an

adult

because

that

is

all

I

knew

as

a

kid

I

wasnt

a

dreamer

I

didnt

know

how

to

dream

to

be

honest

My

practicalminded

self

expected

a

certain

lifestyle

only

attained

by

the

status

quo

I

just

didnt

know

that

anything

else

existed

and

the

special

lifestyles

that

DID

exist

only

applied

to

special

people

Ramit

Tim

Ferris

etc

I

never

dreamed

that

I

could

be

anything

more

and

did

not

expect

that

I

could

build

I

went

to

college

and

graduated

with

in

debt

in

I

needed

a

to

pay

that

off

so

I

took

the

first

one

I

was

offered

I

paid

off

my

loans

in

years

and

with

the

shackles

released

I

have

been

able

to

focus

on

my

life

and

building

the

best

me

possible

from

the

insideout

Ive

used

many

of

Ramits

tools

to

build

betterstronger

habits

to

fight

my

ISs

and

to

build

systems

that

allow

me

to

focus

on

building

a

life

I

never

dreamed

possible

Ive

been

successful

so

far

with

the

help

of

The

first

day

I

receive

a

paycheck

for

a

service

or

product

I

offer

will

be

the

day

that

I

validate

myself

as

someone

who

is

able

to

dream

big

Something

I

never

thought

I

would

be

allowed

to

do

Ed

Lucas

Freedom

D

Lockett

The

idea

of

starting

my

own

online

business

and

it

being

profitable

to

suit

my

lifestyle

excites

me

I

would

love

to

turn

something

Im

passionate

about

into

a

revenue

stream

for

my

family

guess

the

key

is

finding

out

the

howto

Ive

tried

some

internet

marketing

systems

but

it

just

didnt

feel

right

for

me

so

Im

open

to

new

ideas

and

new

ways

of

thinking

Chris

What

excites

me

most

about

a

successful

online

business

would

be

taking

away

the

worry

of

wheres

the

money

coming

from

the

freedom

to

work

from

a

few

select

places

and

as

you

always

mention

that

feeling

of

picking

up

the

check

for

your

buddies

and

not

having

to

worry

about

the

impact

thats

going

to

have

on

your

backend

too

much

if

at

all

Elliot

Ive

been

studying

online

businesses

for

about

a

year

Worked

with

a

mentor

set

up

a

copywriting

website

Havent

done

much

with

it

No

clients

Im

realizing

that

I

dont

like

being

tied

to

a

computer

for

hours

and

hoursnot

sure

where

that

leaves

me

in

terms

of

an

online

businessniche

sites

maybe

Not

sure

I

do

know

that

you

can

make

way

more

with

online

businesses

and

multiple

revenue

streams

than

with

one

day

job

that

takes

a

lot

of

time

at

a

fixed

income

rate

Also

know

the

key

is

to

have

a

service

that

is

completely

focused

on

helping

people

The

prospect

of

making

a

good

living

while

helping

peoples

lives

is

what

excites

me

most

about

an

online

business

Kevin

The

thing

that

excites

me

the

most

about

this

is

the

ability

to

be

more

flexible

with

my

time

I

have

a

and

year

old

They

see

me

for

hours

each

night

They

need

more

of

me

and

I

want

more

of

them

Rodica

I

have

no

experience

in

online

business

I

read

about

others

who

have

succeeded

in

this

field

I

find

it

interesting

to

stay

home

and

make

money

online

you

can

provide

additional

income

family

you

can

travel

more

and

can

do

this

business

mandy

Very

similar

to

James

All

the

money

in

the

world

with

zero

time

to

enjoy

life

with

friends

and

family

is

an

unsustainable

model

for

me

The

ability

to

reach

appropriate

audience

on

a

global

scale

is

very

exciting

Ashley

The

primary

element

of

online

business

that

attracts

me

is

the

freedom

it

could

provide

Id

like

to

have

more

flexibility

in

my

schedule

to

spend

more

time

with

my

young

kids

and

pursue

other

hobbies

plus

in

general

I

like

to

have

the

ability

to

be

spontaneous

and

not

be

conformed

to

the

traditional

corporate

schedule

Abhishek

The

most

exciting

thing

about

an

online

business

is

having

a

system

which

is

capable

of

generating

income

even

when

you

are

not

physically

present

to

run

it

The

idea

that

such

a

system

will

create

freedom

of

time

and

money

for

me

is

very

exciting

Also

I

recently

finished

reading

the

book

I

Will

Teach

You

To

Be

Rich

by

Ramit

and

if

I

can

generate

some

passive

income

I

can

use

that

money

for

the

investment

ideas

mentioned

in

the

book

and

its

really

exciting

if

I

can

do

that

soon

Graham

Just

celebrated

my

girlfriends

birthday

it

was

awesome

you

know

why

Because

I

got

her

EXACTLY

what

I

thought

shed

love

not

what

was

reasonable

or

what

I

could

budget

into

this

month

Starting

an

online

business

creates

the

opportunity

bring

more

money

in

the

door

so

we

can

focus

on

things

that

matter

most

to

us

PS

The

present

actually

did

fit

into

the

budget

so

were

good

to

go

Thanks

Billabong

Alfonso

To

me

is

the

professional

challenge

it

represents

Im

not

in

the

USA

so

online

business

isnt

as

strong

as

in

the

US

so

for

me

is

a

challenge

and

an

opportunity

to

compete

with

the

very

best

Jaclyn

I

love

the

idea

of

freedom

of

time

and

freedom

of

place

On

a

deeper

level

using

my

Godgiven

talents

to

help

others

is

the

highest

level

of

satisfaction

Jerrod

For

me

it

is

mainly

about

product

creation

Im

in

graduate

school

studying

software

engineering

Id

rather

spend

my

time

working

on

my

own

software

than

working

for

another

generic

government

contractor

somewhere

in

the

DC

area

Id

also

go

to

graduate

school

full

time

and

work

in

a

research

lab

somewhere

Chris

Just

like

what

these

guys

are

saying

I

love

the

idea

and

being

wealthy

and

able

to

live

it

plus

helping

the

family

truly

hits

home

Besides

that

however

what

really

excites

me

is

the

potential

of

traveling

more

Ive

been

out

of

the

country

a

few

times

but

havent

been

able

to

truly

live

while

there

I

would

love

the

opportunity

to

live

in

these

places

for

a

few

weeksmonths

and

still

be

making

money

while

there

Not

only

that

but

loving

what

it

is

that

makes

the

money

as

much

as

the

money

itself

is

huge

to

me

Jordan

Be

my

own

boss

Stephen

The

freedom

excited

me

Doing

what

I

want

and

choosing

the

life

I

desire

based

on

income

I

earn

online

without

going

to

the

office

jeromie

I

love

the

idea

that

I

can

take

the

time

to

communicate

a

message

which

Im

better

at

through

written

word

while

giving

myself

the

ability

to

pay

off

my

student

loans

That

cloud

hovering

over

my

head

is

creating

a

life

of

what

feels

like

hour

work

weeks

and

feeling

like

I

can

barely

afford

life

Michael

Kilkelly

I

want

to

create

an

online

business

to

complement

my

offline

business

I

do

a

lot

of

oneonone

consulting

and

custom

project

work

for

my

clients

This

generates

a

lot

of

value

for

my

clients

but

many

businesses

cant

afford

my

inperson

consulting

rates

I

think

an

online

component

would

allow

many

smaller

businesses

to

benefit

from

my

expertise

at

a

lower

price

point

Zohaib

Danish

The

idea

of

doing

something

you

love

and

earning

money

for

it

to

live

a

flexible

lifestyle

Not

having

a

boss

and

just

going

through

with

it

all

on

your

own

just

having

that

challenge

excites

me

and

I

am

ready

for

this

class

Rob

S

After

having

both

success

and

multiple

failures

with

online

business

these

are

things

that

excite

me

most

about

owning

and

running

one

Living

life

on

my

terms

Delivering

value

directly

to

somebody

else

Working

on

something

Im

proud

of

Hanneke

Ill

be

honest

I

am

afraid

to

start

an

online

business

and

I

dont

know

if

I

have

what

it

takes

BUT

I

do

need

it

in

my

life

We

have

moved

for

my

husbands

work

a

lot

not

only

in

the

US

but

international

Thats

why

I

have

never

really

created

a

career

for

myself

but

now

that

my

kids

are

all

out

of

the

house

I

do

need

that

I

want

to

have

something

to

be

proud

of

for

myself

I

do

have

what

it

takes

I

just

need

to

focus

and

get

it

done

Naomi

Actually

what

excites

me

most

is

probably

the

challenge

I

would

like

to

have

passive

income

and

more

flexible

work

However

the

process

of

developing

something

valuable

that

is

my

own

is

most

exciting

Pete

I

really

like

my

job

but

hate

the

commute

I

want

something

I

can

do

at

home

that

is

respectable

and

will

replace

a

six

figure

income

currently

i

want

to

supplement

and

then

replace

my

current

income

which

will

be

a

pretty

tall

order

but

Im

willing

to

put

in

the

work

for

a

fairly

substantial

return

Ive

tried

some

side

gigs

before

including

an

online

business

that

was

a

huge

failure

I

want

something

i

can

sink

my

teeth

into

that

has

an

edge

and

advantage

I

can

learn

from

and

leverage

Jake

The

opportunity

to

make

a

difference

in

somebodys

life

is

exciting

To

be

able

to

give

without

being

there

is

exciting

To

do

it

flexibly

And

personally

The

opportunity

to

increase

income

without

having

to

commit

time

is

exciting

Prestige

amongst

family

and

friends

to

be

able

to

make

it

is

exciting

Tyler

Im

excited

at

the

idea

of

earning

income

other

than

from

me

actually

BEING

there

the

idea

of

generating

cash

flow

by

means

other

than

an

hourly

wage

or

salary

Martin

What

excites

me

most

is

being

able

to

give

my

family

the

best

life

possible

I

want

to

take

care

of

them

maximise

my

time

with

them

and

give

them

experiences

that

they

will

remember

for

ever

Ryan

Ive

read

these

same

sentiments

in

so

many

comments

already

but

here

they

are

again

I

believe

I

have

something

of

value

to

offer

Ive

proven

that

already

in

several

small

person

workshops

that

I

created

and

ran

last

year

I

love

watching

mens

lives

change

for

the

better

What

excites

me

most

about

taking

that

business

online

would

be

that

my

reach

would

increase

exponentially

The

number

of

lives

I

could

help

change

would

become

unthinkably

large

At

the

same

time

doing

it

all

online

would

give

me

the

freedom

to

set

my

own

schedule

and

live

a

Alona

I

like

the

idea

of

working

smarter

not

just

harder

I

like

the

idea

of

flexibility

and

low

overhead

I

like

gaining

new

skills

that

can

be

applied

to

many

areas

and

the

ability

to

use

skills

I

already

have

to

something

productive

Agata

Szymczak

What

excites

me

the

most

Definitely

flexibility

I

dont

like

waking

up

early

I

like

to

stay

awake

till

AM

Thanks

to

online

business

I

could

work

whenever

I

want

to

not

whenever

I

have

to

I

could

choose

my

own

work

hours

I

could

choose

my

clients

too

And

the

second

thing

is

not

having

real

life

contact

with

my

clients

email

or

skype

only

Im

introvertic

and

it

makes

me

trouble

to

talk

could

leverage

not

only

my

dreams

but

any

other

businesses

I

potentially

get

involved

with

I

feel

like

I

have

been

preparing

all

my

life

and

now

its

the

time

I

have

the

resources

and

mindset

to

achieve

it

Tha

fact

that

you

can

work

on

your

business

from

everywhere

you

have

an

internet

connection

and

you

can

generate

money

even

when

you

are

not

actually

working

on

your

business

Mariana

What

I

like

most

about

the

idea

of

an

online

business

can

also

kick

my

arse

if

I

dont

keep

it

in

check

and

that

is

the

ability

to

do

business

anywhere

I

dont

have

to

be

tied

down

in

an

office

but

I

could

be

working

from

my

phone

while

sitting

in

a

cafe

drinking

a

hot

chocolate

At

the

same

time

though

Id

have

to

be

able

to

switch

off

and

actually

enjoy

life

JJ

The

most

exciting

thing

about

an

online

business

is

the

potential

You

start

with

nothing

and

it

could

grow

into

something

much

bigger

Nothing

is

certain

Unlike

a

traditional

where

your

future

is

pretty

stable

and

predictable

An

online

business

represents

adventure

because

it

could

lead

to

a

number

of

different

and

better

futures

Shane

What

excited

me

most

about

having

an

online

business

is

the

ability

to

live

a

rich

life

on

my

own

time

as

well

as

the

concrete

validation

of

the

value

of

my

original

thoughts

and

creative

output

Amy

I

am

most

excited

about

the

freedom

financially

personally

that

I

think

I

can

gain

by

starting

an

online

business

Think

about

all

the

opportunities

Fede

The

idea

of

working

from

any

place

i

want

is

super

tempting

Jesse

Unlimited

Independence

Providing

Value

to

the

People

and

Causes

I

care

About

No

matter

how

hard

I

try

I

simply

dont

understand

how

people

working

for

a

large

corporation

can

have

a

feeling

of

ownership

over

their

jobs

A

sales

manager

that

gets

paid

a

salary

is

ecstatic

over

last

quarters

sales

numbers

yet

he

did

not

get

paid

a

penny

more

for

the

growth

This

is

CRAZY

WHY

does

he

care

so

much

He

did

not

benefit

at

all

and

his

boss

barely

shook

his

hand

This

is

insanity

I

have

an

incredible

work

ethic

and

drive

when

its

MY

project

and

I

am

the

sole

beneficiary

of

the

success

I

have

below

average

work

ethic

and

drive

when

all

my

efforts

go

into

another

persons

pocket

Working

your

a

off

for

a

company

for

a

base

salary

while

somehow

feeling

a

sense

of

ownership

over

your

work

is

INSANE

Jesse

Muttaqi

What

excites

me

about

building

an

online

business

is

that

it

will

show

people

that

there

is

another

way

That

they

dont

have

to

accept

the

status

quo

I

have

lots

of

friends

who

have

the

desire

to

start

their

own

business

but

theyre

too

tied

to

their

own

jobs

to

go

out

there

and

do

it

Id

love

to

be

able

to

help

them

take

that

leap

and

give

themselves

the

freedom

and

income

they

really

desire

As

for

my

potential

clients

and

customers

I

see

so

many

of

them

waste

money

and

time

on

useless

online

ventures

that

are

really

disappointing

Websites

that

look

ugly

marketing

schemes

that

bring

nothing

and

a

whole

lot

of

broken

promises

What

really

motivates

me

is

to

see

my

clients

achieve

success

in

their

business

knowing

I

helped

them

get

there

Thats

truly

the

most

exciting

things

about

starting

an

online

business

as

far

as

Im

concerned

Evelina

I

want

to

realise

my

dream

fulfill

my

passion

do

something

that

I

am

passionate

about

let

other

people

do

my

passion

I

want

to

get

income

being

anywhere

in

the

world

I

want

flexibility

Samantha

I

am

most

excited

about

the

ability

to

continue

spending

time

with

my

in

ways

that

I

choose

while

simultaneously

providing

something

that

is

useful

throughout

the

world

and

earning

an

William

Hello

Ramit

What

excites

me

the

most

is

building

something

that

adds

a

lot

of

value

to

peoples

lives

but

at

the

same

time

allows

me

the

time

freedom

to

spend

with

my

family

I

dream

of

that

day

to

come

and

I

will

be

elated

when

it

arrives

Regards

Kimanzi

Ive

been

supported

by

my

since

the

love

it

because

of

the

and

its

provided

Heck

our

just

moved

from

to

Im

excited

to

learn

Ive

been

stuck

at

good

while

now

eager

to

man

Ive

spent

more

on

What

gets

me

excited

is

the

opportunity

to

use

talents

and

expertise

like

you

have

to

help

others

get

what

they

want

Now

that

Ive

turned

my

into

a

situation

I

want

to

help

get

that

Sethi

Great

to

see

you

reinvesting

in

yourself

Sean

To

everyone

else

Theres

a

reason

that

in

a

recent

cohort

IWT

premium

students

bought

new

course

at

a

rate

higher

than

nonpremium

students

ie

customers

bought

a

LOT

more

There

are

ways

to

get

repeat

buyers

who

are

excited

to

invest

in

themselves

or

as

I

call

it

students

for

life

Well

cover

them

in

ZTL

rtotheissa

Ive

had

some

false

starts

in

running

and

starting

an

online

business

My

business

was

productbased

and

as

anyone

who

has

read

your

previous

material

knows

the

ROI

can

be

hit

or

miss

there

What

Ive

noticed

is

that

since

I

finished

college

started

a

career

and

become

more

stable

in

my

life

and

subsequently

have

made

more

money

and

paid

off

more

debt

I

have

become

less

likely

to

take

risks

something

I

used

to

do

all

of

the

time

I

know

I

need

multiple

streams

of

income

to

really

have

the

kind

of

life

I

want

not

necessarily

to

be

rich

but

for

safety

net

purposes

this

has

been

ingrained

into

me

since

I

was

a

child

But

I

stall

when

it

comes

to

figuring

out

how

best

to

use

my

skill

set

and

knowledge

to

make

something

happen

Im

highly

interested

in

this

program

precisely

because

of

this

Nathan

Hearns

What

EXCITES

me

most

about

starting

an

online

business

The

thrill

of

the

ride

I

know

it

will

be

one

of

the

most

interesting

and

likely

difficult

challenges

of

my

life

But

what

is

great

about

life

is

embracing

the

challenge

and

going

BIG

Ive

started

businesses

before

Some

have

worked

Some

have

not

But

I

really

want

to

learn

what

else

I

can

be

doing

to

create

and

produce

more

More

time

More

freedom

More

value

More

income

More

opportunities

Really

just

more

all

the

way

around

Creating

more

and

then

giving

that

ability

to

others

and

invigorating

change

Sachit

Ive

worked

for

a

few

companies

and

no

matter

how

hard

I

try

it

seems

like

my

superiors

just

dont

care

to

get

me

invested

in

the

rolesresponsibilities

of

the

departmentcompany

Ive

found

that

it

is

very

hard

to

care

and

want

to

improve

something

when

no

one

else

around

you

seems

to

see

a

value

in

doing

that

So

for

me

the

most

existing

thing

would

be

to

do

something

I

actually

enjoy

and

care

to

improveexpand

That

said

I

like

to

balance

my

time

so

doing

something

that

allows

me

to

step

away

while

it

keeps

working

for

me

is

extremely

attractive

The

idea

of

doing

something

that

I

truly

enjoy

while

having

the

time

to

spend

with

my

family

travel

and

experience

the

world

is

thoroughly

exciting

Christine

Earning

money

from

doing

something

that

I

love

choosing

my

projects

and

bringing

something

to

people

around

the

world

that

they

can

love

and

get

excited

about

too

And

that

money

will

allow

me

and

my

family

more

freedom

in

life

Sterling

Having

an

online

business

excites

me

because

I

can

imagine

the

freedom

to

run

the

business

from

anywhere

in

the

world

AND

have

the

free

time

and

free

money

to

go

anywhere

in

the

world

I

want

to

show

my

family

different

cultures

and

places

I

want

them

to

see

how

people

live

on

every

continent

I

want

to

have

the

financial

security

to

know

that

my

family

is

always

going

to

be

well

taken

care

of

Spencer

The

most

exciting

part

for

me

would

be

Having

more

flexibility

in

my

schedule

Having

more

flexibility

in

the

types

of

experiences

I

can

have

for

myself

and

my

friends

and

family

travel

vacations

etc

Leveraging

time

to

help

more

with

Graham

Part

Two

Ive

spent

the

last

years

working

with

kids

at

summer

camps

ski

hills

and

on

cruise

ships

Itd

be

amazing

to

to

transfer

this

knowledge

and

skill

set

into

an

online

business

The

question

has

always

been

how

Ryan

I

want

to

leverage

the

internet

and

my

experience

to

help

people

get

out

if

debt

and

live

free

of

the

burden

that

debt

brings

I

dont

have

any

experience

with

an

online

business

but

started

a

successful

business

that

was

hard

to

scale

due

to

the

time

commitment

in

person

I

am

excited

to

start

something

that

I

can

scale

and

build

a

system

that

I

can

replicate

Tiffany

I

am

excited

about

building

my

online

business

by

using

testing

to

tweak

products

and

positioning

Its

like

a

strategy

game

that

has

several

ways

to

win

I

am

fascinated

with

the

psychology

behind

why

people

sometimes

buy

one

product

over

another

when

its

less

on

another

sitesame

exact

product

Oh

and

of

course

im

excited

about

making

money

while

actually

being

able

to

take

a

vaction

The

most

exciting

to

me

is

also

the

most

terrifying

having

complete

accountability

for

the

success

or

failure

of

the

business

Mike

Carroll

The

thing

that

excites

me

most

about

starting

an

online

business

is

the

potential

of

where

I

can

take

it

and

where

it

can

take

me

Running

my

own

business

will

no

doubt

aid

my

constant

goal

of

always

trying

to

improve

as

a

person

and

as

a

businessman

I

always

reflect

on

where

I

have

come

from

and

where

I

am

now

and

it

excites

me

to

think

about

where

I

could

be

in

the

future

I

wouldnt

be

where

I

am

today

if

it

wasnt

for

your

books

and

previous

courses

Ramit

Really

looking

forward

to

this

new

material

Dan

Most

of

my

career

has

been

tied

to

an

hourly

rate

or

a

one

time

payment

for

services

thats

great

but

Id

really

like

to

develop

something

thats

got

some

life

of

its

own

Whether

or

not

its

in

the

same

field

I

work

in

I

think

a

healthy

online

business

would

allow

me

to

engage

with

work

in

a

completely

new

way

and

thats

extremely

exciting

Looking

forward

to

it

Rana

I

love

the

idea

of

sitting

in

Paris

and

coming

up

with

the

newest

profit

center

for

my

business

creating

the

content

in

Manhattan

the

marketing

plan

in

Milan

and

checking

on

the

product

launch

from

South

Africa

I

am

also

excited

about

the

idea

of

scaling

up

my

income

to

provide

an

amazing

adventurous

life

for

my

kids

I

want

to

raise

entrepreneurs

not

employees

I

do

not

ever

want

my

kids

to

slave

away

in

corporate

america

This

is

my

most

important

reason

for

starting

a

business

to

show

my

kids

how

to

work

smarter

not

harder

Bill

An

online

business

that

could

replace

my

current

income

would

be

incredible

It

would

give

me

the

chance

to

volunteer

in

my

childrens

classes

give

my

wife

a

break

in

the

middle

of

the

day

take

my

family

to

foreign

countries

to

learn

about

them

through

experiences

and

not

a

textbook

support

organizations

financially

and

with

my

time

that

are

significant

to

me

I

totally

disagree

that

it

is

passive

as

it

will

require

work

on

my

part

a

LOT

of

work

But

the

work

will

be

on

my

terms

and

when

I

want

And

most

importantly

it

will

continue

keesha

It

would

mean

I

could

spend

quality

time

with

my

kids

and

not

pay

someone

else

to

care

for

them

Adam

What

excites

me

the

most

is

being

able

to

have

the

income

to

pay

for

the

things

I

love

doing

but

also

having

the

time

to

spend

with

my

friends

and

family

and

avoiding

the

living

for

tomorrow

mentality

Sylvia

What

excites

me

The

chance

to

create

entirely

new

content

online

that

engages

young

children

and

parents

in

learning

about

science

The

fact

that

I

could

earn

enough

income

to

quit

my

current

job

and

travel

the

world

with

my

kids

is

an

awesome

side

benefit

to

knowing

that

I

could

encourage

future

inventors

and

scientists

with

my

work

I

want

this

to

be

the

Free

to

Be

You

and

Me

of

STEM

for

a

generation

of

kids

Something

that

opens

their

minds

changes

their

behaviors

and

has

a

lasting

impact

on

how

they

view

themselves

Ankur

I

am

an

Electronics

engineer

and

work

at

a

top

semiconductor

firm

In

my

free

time

since

past

years

I

have

also

been

reading

about

Health

and

Nutrition

Why

Im

excited

about

online

business

Increase

my

reach

and

make

an

impact

globally

get

to

be

known

for

making

a

difference

make

friends

from

around

the

world

and

get

a

chance

to

travel

around

the

world

whenever

I

want

I

have

couple

of

ideas

one

I

observe

that

preventive

medicine

is

lacking

big

time

Health

related

information

is

there

however

people

dont

execute

I

want

to

build

an

online

system

that

people

can

follow

take

action

with

tested

limited

information

and

forget

about

lets

say

Vitamin

Intake

which

will

cure

majority

of

diseases

My

second

idea

is

about

bringing

industry

electronics

knowledge

closer

to

students

to

fill

the

gap

between

academia

and

industry

so

that

students

who

face

issues

at

universities

with

lesser

industry

exposure

also

get

a

chance

at

top

industry

jobs

a

great

future

in

their

field

of

interest

When

I

was

a

student

I

remember

that

there

wasnt

a

structured

process

to

learn

whats

valued

in

the

real

world

in

my

field

Electronics

and

how

I

learnt

it

the

hard

way

I

definitely

wish

to

be

one

of

the

best

in

the

world

in

the

idea

I

pursue

hence

I

expect

myself

to

be

at

the

top

for

revenue

stream

in

few

years

as

well

Understand

though

I

need

to

start

small

Thanks

Ramit

for

starting

this

I

have

been

following

your

DJ

course

religiously

btw

Im

also

looking

forward

to

learn

how

can

I

manage

online

business

along

with

my

job

Angela

i

want

to

get

paid

based

on

the

value

I

create

not

the

time

I

spent

This

isnt

to

say

I

dont

expect

to

put

in

the

time

Ed

Frankly

my

ability

to

dream

has

taken

a

huge

beating

over

the

last

few

years

because

of

both

medical

and

financial

troubles

What

excites

me

most

about

an

online

business

is

the

possibility

of

getting

past

those

troubles

and

building

a

live

that

I

love

instead

of

a

life

that

I

dread

In

fact

when

Will

Smith

was

on

Jimmy

Fallon

he

said

that

people

my

age

today

will

likely

live

to

be

years

old

Immediately

I

went

into

this

dread

of

Fuck

I

can

not

take

another

years

of

the

crap

Im

going

through

now

I

mean

I

turned

on

Fallon

to

get

a

laugh

and

simple

fact

like

that

just

put

the

dread

in

me

And

Im

a

smart

hardworking

guy

thats

just

had

these

problems

and

cant

seem

to

get

ahead

because

of

medical

issues

Ive

been

looking

for

jobs

but

since

I

was

a

cinematographer

its

kind

of

hard

to

find

work

but

I

cant

show

other

people

how

my

experience

translates

to

their

business

No

one

will

take

a

chance

on

me

so

I

need

to

take

a

chance

on

myself

Patty

What

excites

me

most

about

an

online

business

is

the

potential

of

an

uncapped

income

removal

of

the

work

shackles

replaced

by

puppet

strings

that

I

hold

the

potential

to

travel

endlessly

and

more

time

with

my

family

as

a

result

of

the

income

is

what

ails

me

More

dirty

truth

I

do

want

the

power

I

want

the

final

say

I

want

to

be

the

next

Secret

Millionaire

I

want

to

help

more

by

being

a

success

MANNY

I

would

love

to

say

goodbye

to

an

Although

I

love

my

job

It

doesnt

pay

well

For

too

many

years

I

have

had

to

handle

the

constant

worries

of

debt

and

how

to

pay

it

all

off

It

would

give

me

the

ability

to

earn

from

anywhere

in

the

world

I

would

finally

be

able

to

travel

with

my

wife

and

son

and

earn

while

doing

it

Tired

of

living

in

mother

in

laws

home

and

paying

her

rent

I

know

I

can

make

it

happen

I

am

one

of

the

one

day

types

and

tired

of

it

Its

time

to

move

and

make

it

happen

NOW

Andrew

What

has

always

held

me

back

fear

of

IT

I

have

managed

web

businesses

in

my

day

job

but

Ive

always

had

the

support

of

an

IT

department

for

the

backend

and

an

agency

to

help

with

the

creative

and

media

planningbuying

So

while

I

can

set

the

strategy

I

cant

actually

execute

beyond

Photoshop

a

content

management

system

and

reading

Google

Analytics

Edwin

The

exciting

thing

I

think

would

be

the

explosive

potential

Great

online

businesses

can

scale

out

of

sight

so

on

the

eve

of

launch

day

if

youve

done

everything

right

there

would

be

this

wonderful

feeling

of

anticipation

And

then

a

glorious

Success

Party

as

the

results

come

pouring

in

Ryan

The

challenge

and

freedom

that

comes

with

running

your

own

company

I

feel

I

have

an

entrepreneurial

spirit

that

Ibe

been

too

afraid

to

satisfy

Kathy

What

excites

me

most

about

online

business

is

that

it

works

for

you

You

are

not

limited

to

the

hours

a

day

that

you

put

in

from

an

ordinary

job

mean

customers

and

worry

about

what

your

boss

thinks

about

you

your

yearly

review

etc

Plus

the

earning

potential

is

LIMITLESS

haahaha

Plus

you

can

work

in

your

PAJAMAS

and

spend

time

with

your

family

friends

and

pets

more

Woohoo

Super

excited

about

this

class

Its

hard

to

find

credible

online

business

class

like

Ramits

out

there

There

are

so

many

scams

Rana

I

love

the

idea

of

sitting

in

Paris

and

coming

up

with

the

newest

profit

center

for

my

business

creating

the

content

in

Manhattan

the

marketing

plan

in

Milan

and

checking

on

the

product

launch

from

South

Africa

I

am

also

excited

about

the

idea

of

scaling

up

my

income

to

provide

an

amazing

adventurous

life

for

my

kids

I

want

to

raise

entrepreneurs

not

employees

I

do

not

ever

want

my

kids

to

slave

away

in

corporate

america

This

is

my

most

important

reason

for

starting

a

business

to

show

my

kids

how

to

work

smarter

not

harder
