One man's journey into the world of on-line business
I recently retired. I have ideas. I have time. I figured I could combine the two into a "second career." Life doesn't always work out the way you think it might.

My Story. My Advice.
People say to me, "Don, you're a successful entrepreneur, how do you do it? You're puling down 15, even 18 dollars a month, and you get to sit at home and work. What is your secret?"
This is where I reveal my secret:
Create Create Create- I have a fertile imagination - my girlfriend wishes some other parts of me were as fertile as my imagination- and when an idea strikes, Voila - to the note book it goes. From there an idea can become a notion, a notion can become a concept, a concept can lead to a theme, and a theme, perhaps, a product. Next, I design and post my merchandise on my web page at http://www.zazzle.com/donnierocky*
Persevere Persevere Persevere- Did Magellan turn around when he hit his first wave? Did Edison pack it in when he was standing around in the dark at the end of another unproductive day? Heck no! So what if day after day goes by with nary a sale. It's not like I expected to be Bill Gates. I just keep plugging away, understanding that the creative process is good for the brain. I am replenishing brain cells on a daily basis. While my contemporaries are drinking beer and vegetating in front of the tube, I'm creating. Twenty years from now, when the other guys are getting turned over every few hours by some assisted living nurse and mumbling incoherent phrases, such as "The queen is wearing my boxer shorts," I'll still be sharp of mind and vibrant of spirit, living with my twenty-seven year old trophy wife.
Believe Believe Believe- It's the power of positive thinking, folks. Descartes said, "I think, therefore I am." Nobody knows what the heck he was talking about, but by gosh, everyone remembers he said it. And he felt good about those words. That's the key. Feel good about your products.
You can check out mine at http://www.zazzle.com/donnierocky*, and whatever you think, know that I'm proud of my work. I'm a believer. I create, therefore I am. The universe is listening. It may not pull out its credit card, but I can assure you that it is supportive. Lot's of people are supportive. Of course, support alone doesn't pay for the weekly counseling sessions. The sooner your friends realize that money means far more to you than a pat on the back, the sooner your name will be mentioned in the same breath as Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, and Steve Jobs.
Well folks, that's what I know. You too could soon be working 20-30 hours a week from the comfort of your own home, and be taking in 15 - 18 dollars a month.
Best of luck,
Don
