7 Habits You Must Quit In Order To Build an Online Business on the Side
Are you wondering how much of a sacrifice is required to build an online business if you currently have a day job and family?
This post lays out 7 habits I enjoyed but happily chose to give up in order to get serious about growing my online business.
Plus I let you in on the 1 tip that made giving up these habits not feel like a sacrifice.
Each habit took up a portion of my time and energy that was not used to grow my business. By cutting out these activities and applying more diligent focus in the last 2 years I have seen my business grow consistently from $1-2k/month to over $10k/month.

Reason for this Website Income Case Study
My reason for sharing my website income online is 2 fold….
1. I know that by putting myself out here I will hold myself accountable to my goal of generating $15k/month in reliable income by the time I am 35!
2. I want to show other people who have large time commitments (father, full time job) that it is possible to make money online. At the same time
Since I have been working online I have learned the most from the courses where people show me how to do things using a case study site. Lately even when I know and use many of the methods taught I gain insight from real case studies including Ed Dales 30 day challenge and Pat Flynn’s posts on the Niche Site Duel these practical examples are great for everyone involved.
UPDATE – Oct 1, 2012 – I am now able to share with everyone the biggest reason why I am so passionate about making my authority website a success – my first child will be here in 6 months!
