What was your area of expertise? Did you have a full time job (and do you still have it)? What previous employment skills did you find you have were the ones that helped you the most? Did you run an "traditional" business before discovering your Work From Home/Online Income option.
What was the scariest thing to you about entering the Online Business Market?
For thos who still work FT in a traditional job, have you picked up any new skills that you have found helped you advance your position or garner an increase in employment income from your employer?
How do you set yourself up in regards to benefits. Medical, dental, insurance plans etc.?
Have you ever had a chance to partake in a "Breakfast Meeting" or like event where you can network in person with other Online Marketers/Affiliates?
Just some questions I thought of.

Wasn't really scary to me, that I can remember except just for the unknown... when I FIRST got started working at home, it was with an $11,000+ investment.... yeah, I know... it was before I knew better. lol

You know, I never had that anyways - only went to 8th in school and was a stay at home Mom for years and years until my hubby was laid off all winter so I picked up part time work to help out, and it didn't come with benefits... I never had enough dr bills to worry about so I just never worried about it, I guess!

Completed high school, 2 certificates in Customer Contact. Full time in accounting for 2 years, then college for 1 1/2 years, dropped out to manage my parents small businesses 7 days a week for 5 years. Moved into call centre management and a top performer in selling. Moved into finance where i became 2ic.
The management experience has greatly helped me with confidence and being able to lead is my passion. It just made things easier. These days working working from home, you need to be able to stand out from the crowd and allow yourself to become a leader. People follow people who they most likely want to be or aspire to.
I have since quit my job and have started my online business full time. I didn't need people telling ME how much I could earn...
You need to believe in yourself more then anything.
