The Challenge
The purpose of my blog is to log my ups and downs whilst I try to fulfil the challenge set for me by my students.
I have taught numberous people how to make a sizeable online income within 3 years of finding out what www is. During a discussion with some of these students, somebody raised the question whether it was possible to make 7 figures from nothing within one year.
Naturally, I assured them with the right background and mindset everything was possible, and then my big mouth got me in trouble.
5 minutes later, I had agreed to live on 700 Euro for the month of Feb 2010, and be reliant only on new money I created after that date. That means I was not allowed to use my exisitng websites or anything else that had helped me make money in 2009. WOW – sometimes, I should just shut up !
No, seriously, I do not believe for one minute this is going to be an easy ride, but I totally believe it is do-able.
As of February I have already moved into shared accomodation where I rent a small room, and must put my master plans on hold until I can generate enough money to firstly cover my living costs, then outs what left towards my big ideas.
I invite you all to follow my Venture to the Top, I know for sure I am going to learn a lot, and I hope I have a lot to give to my readers in return too.
Target:
$1,000,000 by Jan 2011 and be a recognised name in online marketing. The venture starts here!

Dee,
Thanks for opening up your challenge so others can learn from your ups and downs. Being new to marketing, and offline marketing and consulting specifically, I look forward to stretching my brain to think like a pro so I can offer my clients top-notch service and value.
This venture is a journey I look forward to taking!
See you at the top,
Iris
Absolutely love the idea, actually doing something similar (although out of necessity rather than a bet) and aiming for a slightly lower goal of $100,000.
I’ll be tracking your progress, and wish you all the best in your en-devours. It’s going to be a great inspirational story even if you miss.
No such think as a miss Rick, aiming for an overachievement!
Good luck with your endeavour also. Let’s keep each other motivated… I truely appreciate your support.
Hey Now!
One Mill in 11 months?
Holy Crap!!!
You got Cajones!!!!
I’m like Rick – going for $100,000
I’ll be checking in – and, like the commercial said -
CHEERING HELPS!!! LOL!

So how is it going are you in your reach for your target, do hope so, or have you gave up .
Hi Steve ! No, of course I havent given up, in fact I accelerated a little. Problem I have is that I posted something which I wanted to share and immediately some people tried to copy it, so it’s really a hard job finding what I can share and what I can not.
I have 3 launches due in May. One all my JV’s are in place then I will release more details about each project (when they are far enough along that copying them makes no sense)
It’s a shame I have to do it that way, but I guess not everyone is here to encourage me, some are here just to copy me… Literally.

I couldn’t figure out how to respond to your piece on boredom and crativity. Thanks, I knew I was doing something important. It was a really good entry. Kids need to learn how to mess around and “play” again and playing comes from boredom sometimes.

Thanks for comment Diana and glad you found my article interesting. I’m going to be changing my blog theme today which should sort out the commenting issue once and for all! Look forward to hearing more from you.
