Hi Tony,
This is a picture of me taken by my nine year son Samuel last summer at our local park Letcliffe Park in Barnoldswick Lancashire.

I started Internet Marketing completely by chance about three years ago now, well actually two years seriously. Sorry Tony I don’t have any picks of me at three in the morning.
Back to my story. So, just by chance one day a received this mail shot through the post it was by a guy that some of you may or may not know. His name was Andrew Reynolds and it was through his course that gave me the bug for internet Marketing.
At the time I was just coming to end of a career in the building trade as a bricky, I had torn all the ligaments form my right arm which just happened to be my trowel harm, so I was off work for about 18 Months.
When I went back on site, I laid my first brick and I just KNEW right then that my days were ended as a bricklayer. So while I was off work with my arm in a sling i got into Internet Marketing and yes did the usual newbie things like spending thousands of $ $ on all the usual stuff. Going to seminars and just about everything else you can think of.
At the moment of writing this letter I have not made any money online, however I know that by doing more of what I’m doing currently in my Internet Marketing it will only be a matter of time.
This is a picture of my home office where I spend most of my time, it’s situated in one corner of our bedroom and believe it or not my Wife Sarah puts up with it. So when I do start to make some money I will treat here to a great holiday somewhere hot.
As of writing this letter I work hard at a job that I hate and now I know that there is something better out there it makes it all that harder to go to .
All I know is that I will make money online; maybe not tomorrow maybe not the next day, but I will get there that’s a promise.
PS. Thanks for letting us share our stories Tony, I have enjoyed doing this and I hope you will publish it. Oh just before I go my url to my site is www.mindsetforsuccess.co.uk
cheers
Mike.

Hi Mike,
YOU CAN DO IT!! I am a floundering newbie too, but I’m juuuust beginning to see some tiny success, so I know it will happen for me too. My husband, John, is putting up with me working at my computer from about 5:30 am until about 5:00 pm 7 days a week!!! So tell Sarah she is not alone in this, and we will exchange post cards when we are each in some exotic holiday location in the near future.
