I once taught a middle school computer programming class as an elective for 7th and 8th graders. I remember the first day of class. They all had this look in their eyes that made me wonder why they were so excited to be in that class. Then it finally emerged. One of them said, “When are we going to get to design video games??”

Aha! No wonder they were so enchanted. It was because they had NO IDEA the amount of boring math and flowcharting they were going to be doing long before they even thought of designing a video game. I had to break the news to them and only a few really stuck with it.

They had a good excuse for their misguided excitement – they were just young kids.

But I often see that same mentality on the Internet Marketing world. So many think they can sign up for one magic program that will make it all happen tomorrow – or that one incredible system that will only require a few hours of Internet surfing. The ones who actually make it big are the ones with an accurate perspective on what is ahead of them.

There is a learning curve for everything worthwhile and making a success of your business venture is no exception.

Now go do your homework.  There will be a test in the morning.
