Life can be difficult for home-based business owners when first beginning their quest to make money online. Information overload, overwhelming to-do lists and a lack of a firm concept for their own personal brand are just a few of the things that can cause runners to drop out of the race before they even get to finish their first lap.

"Traditional" entrepreneurs must rise to overcome challenges and be the leaders their companies need them to be to succeed. Social entrepreneurs must combine their entrepreneurial wit with a strong sense of purpose for their cause. Home-based entrepreneurs though, especially in this age of Web 2.0 & social media, face a unique set of challenges. With no support staff, sometimes even no support, period, home business owners must create their own optimism each and every day, ready to tackle whatever obstacles they might have thrown at them with a smile on their faces. Not only that, but they and they alone must figure out how to juggle developing their brand, relationships and paycheck all at the same time... no small feat!

Today, I wanted to share with you all a book (and an idea within that book) that really changed my life. You may think I'm exaggerating right now; I mean how many marketing books out there really change people's lives? Well, the book changed my attitude, my attitude changed my approach, my approach changed my paycheck and all of these things together changed my life, so sit tight, LISTEN UP and watch this video...
