Whatever it Takes to Get It Done!

posted on March 22, 2011

Do whatever it takes to get it done! It will pay off  like it did for me in 1995 I bought my first computer with the intention of creating a new business. My now ex-wife talked me into connecting to the Internet. I started building my first website on a Friday night at around 7PM.

I went to bed the next night at 7PM after working 24 hours straight on that website. I continued to build out content for the next two years by myself.  I worked practically non-stop on it.

It was a highly fragmented niche marketplace and it was attracting industry attention. I took a call from what turned out to be my first advertiser and I was finally making money on the site.  It wasn’t a whole lot, but it allowed me to spend even more time on it.

Word got around that I was building this site when an investment banker approached me to discuss the idea of taking it to the next level. I listened to his pitch on a Friday morning.  He went on for a couple of hours showing me how we could make incredible money with it.

My car was sitting outside at a meter that had no time on it. I didn’t even have change, so I knew the parking tickets were piling up.

He got to the end of the presentation and I knew what I was going to do, but still he told me to go home and think about it. I was floored with the possibilities. I couldn’t believe that this business had that much opportunity and here I had created the foundation out of pure passion.

I left his office and headed to get my mound of parking tickets. As I walked out I couldn’t believe it. I had no parking tickets at all! It was a great day in my life.

The following Monday I contacted him and said I wanted to do the deal. What an incredible experience!

What started out as a website based 100% on my passion now is a $50,000,000/year business. It is a great employer in the community and continues to grow worldwide. To think, if I had not spent all that time working on that site, all those jobs would have never been created.

I had the guts to go forward when most people wouldn’t. It changed my life and hundreds of others.

I did whatever it took to get the job done and you can too!
