What’s with the attitude?
It’s incredible to me how much attitude affects your view of the world, of life, of business, and of opportunities.

Someone with a rotten attitude or a timid attitude can see the foreclosure problems in the US as only negative. Someone with a positive attitude can see the amazing opportunity to buy a house for much less than it could be built. We recently bought our home for $140,000 less than a firm offer 2 years ago. Someone with a great attitude can dream of ways to help those who have lost their homes with inexpensive housing or financial counseling. Dave Ramsey has made a career out of helping people understand their attitude to money and how to spend it wisely.

Someone with a cynical attitude views all the opportunities online as a scam, a rip-off. Someone with a good filter and a positive attitude can sift through the junk to see the amazing opportunities that exist online. Think about the potential with 100’s of millions of people online. You can create income even when you are laughing with friends, playing with your kids or even cutting your grass. There are no large financial barriers that would block you from entering this field so you’ll have to make up a better excuse than that. To establish a traditional business with a store front requires some serious capital, an internet business doesn't.

It could be as simple as developing a good product or a good book and marketing it correctly. Even if you don’t have a product, maybe you have a good service that adds value, people will buy it. The possibilities are unimaginably great.

Selling items on eBay

Selling someone else’s product on eBay using the eBay Partner Network

Selling an ebook on clickbank.com

Selling a dvd of your ebook using Kunaki

Building blogs to promote affiliate items earning a percentage of each sale

Using an eBay classified ad to build an audience

Using Craigslist to buy things locally and sell nationally on eBay

Make a membership site around a hungry niche market

Build a site about a niche that people really care about

...and many more

Someday when you look back on this moment in time I hope that you say, I’m glad that I acted. Please understand that this post isn't some polyanna attitude, I am and I know several people actually living from their online income.

Great post! Take the good, forget the bad and don't be driven or restrained by outside influences. There is still a lot of opportunity out there, I just had my best month online, even in this "poor economy."
