The focus of this blog has evolved from simply inspirational / motivational quotes, to internet entrepreneurship.
We would be covering everything from strategies for making money (or more money, if you are already making money) online, recommended reading materials for the internet entrepreneur, internet marketing tools and websites, how to get traffic, how and where to get products to market, outsourcing, and motivation for the internet entrepreneur.
We would also include stories of people who are already successful internet entrepreneurs, so we can all learn from what they are doing.
We welcome questions from readers and will do our best to help answer them.

“A little boy went
visiting his grandparents on their farm. He was given a slingshot to
play with, out in the woods. He practiced often in the woods, but could
never hit the target. Getting a little discouraged, he headed back home
for dinner, one evening.
On his way, he saw his grandma’s pet duck. Out
of impulse, he let the slingshot fly. It hit the duck square in the
head, and killed it.
The little boy was shocked and grieved. In a panic,
he dug a shallow grave, and buried the duck, only to see his younger
sister watching! Sally had seen it all, but she said nothing.
After lunch the next
day, grandma said, “Sally, let’s go and do the Dishes.” But Sally said,
“Grandma, Johnny told me he wanted to help in the kitchen.” Then she
turned to Johnny and whispered to him, “Remember the duck?”
So Johnny did the dishes.
Later that day, grandpa asked if the children
wanted to go fishing, and Grandma said, “I’m sorry but I need Sally to
help make Supper.” Sally just smiled and
said,” Well that’s all right because Johnny told me he wanted to help
with supper tonight.” Again, she turned and whispered to Johnny, “Remember the duck?” So Sally went fishing with grandpa, while Johnny stayed behind to help grandma.
After several days of
doing both his and Sally’s chores, Johnny couldn’t stand it any longer,
and finally went to grandma and confessed that he had killed the duck.
Grandma knelt down,
gave him a big hug, and said, “Sweetheart, I know. I was standing at the
window, and I saw the whole thing, but because I love you, I forgave
you. I was just wondering how long you would let Sally make a slave of
you.”
