Is It Hard Work Or Luck In The Business Of Making Money Online?

I don’t believe in luck, I believe in hard work, and I will work my butt off to get where I want to be.

So many of us who want to make money online think that it is easy. We see people bragging about stats and saying how they make 5 figures a month online. Whether it is selling an online course, writing on Medium, or affiliate marketing.

I am an optimist by nature, I think everything will work out, and I have told millions of people this. (ok, maybe thousands). This is something I tell you because it is how my life works.

This is not because I got lucky, or was born with a silver spoon in my mouth, or that I came from money.

I was born at home, and my father delivered me. By the time I was 8, I was working in the garden picking berries, my father would pay me 25cents per basket. I picket the most baskets; I wanted that 25cents and knew the more I gathered, the more I earned.

My father taught me the value of a dollar. We also were dirt poor; those berries we then sold on the street, for 1.25 cents a basket, so 1$ profit.
