StartUp

This experience--the Sta.rtup.biz experience is so new to me...it takes time to 'build'...build relationships and friends and income.

I have to be honest. When I first came into this community I was thrilled! I saw dollar signs! 'how much money can I make here?" "what's in it for me?"

I was so zealous that I approached this whole opportunity all wrong...I got locked out! arrgh! my account was frozen for a looong day :-(

How embarrassed I felt. I felt afraid that I would not get another opportunity to be a part of a wonderful community to give and share and learn like my heart felt intentions really was at first...

My vision got skued and I didn't read the 'rules' and just jumped in without any thought...

Well, thankfully I got another chance! My account was unfrozen--thank goodness--whew that was close...

Before you start judging, how did you react when you first joined this place? did you see the opportunity in a selfish way too? didn't you see all the money potential here?
be honest! (smile)

Well, I have come to the conclusion, that you live and learn--that's what this experience has taught me--to learn all I can to become a better business person, build solid integrity, and build great 'friend' relationships here in this great environment and the money will come.

Great post Olufemi!

When I first jumped into the social marketing field, let alone this website, I saw dollar signs. I heard of all these people who became overnight successes - and how great it was. The part I didn't realize is that it takes 2 - 3 years to become an overnight success! Yes, it takes time - sites like this and blogging have been great for teaching me patience!

I've definitely not had the success of Julio - as I've not had a blog post featured (Congratulations Julio, that's amazing!) - however, I'm determined to keep plugging away.

Best of luck, and happy holidays,
Greg Digneo
