Up until this point, we’ve essentially been covering the requirements and prerequisite knowledge necessary to increase your chances of building a successful online business.
Today marks a turning point.
It’s time to begin focusing on your personal situation, and to turn our attention to your future business…
(Watch this video…)
Main points:
Without vision, your business probably won’t succeed.
I describe vision as being able to “see” a clear picture of your fulfilled goals in your mind.
It’s like the box cover of a difficult puzzle…
You must begin with the end in mind.
Almost every success in my life has come AFTER having a vision for it. (For example, when I won the state championship, and every time I launch a product)
The successful business owners that I’ve known ALL have vision.
It’s kind of like looking at the world from 30,000 feet. You see the big picture, and not the problems.
If you lose sight of your vision, you lose hope. And if you lose hope, it’s game over.
As we progress in the lessons, we’ll keep moving forward step by step, but if you don’t start by getting a vision, further efforts could be somewhat futile.
If you set your target too low, you may hit it, but there is almost no chance that you will exceed it. On the other hand, if you set your target too high, you may fail, but you will be further along than the “low” target. Therefore it’s better to set your vision higher.
One of the biggest things I see holding people back is a “victim mentality”.
“Formulate and stamp indelibly on your mind a mental picture of yourself as succeeding. Hold this picture tenaciously. Never permit it to fade. Your mind will seek to develop this picture. Never think of yourself as failing; never doubt the reality of the mental image. That is most dangerous, for the mind always tries to complete what it pictures. So always picture ’success’ no matter how badly things seem to be going at the moment.” - Norman Vincent Peale
Many of us have taken on a “just get by” mentality.
The size of your vision will dictate the size of the result.
YOU are valuable. Don’t sell yourself short.
Here’s my “disclaimer” that I forgot to include in the video…. “The mind of man plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.” (Prov. 16:9)
Action steps:
I want you to take a moment to tell me your vision for your business. The vision can involve other areas of your life too, but since we’re working on building your business, it should be focused on your business.
It’s important to write your vision down, so go ahead and post it in the comments below. This is YOUR vision, and there is NO wrong answer.
Focus on the big picture. Don’t worry about the details of how you will get there. We’ll worry about that stuff when we learn about goal setting and business plans, and I’ll be talking about those things in the next lesson.
As always, you are welcome to post your questions and comments below.
Have a great day!

Hi Eric,
I appreciate you putting this all together in a framework that does not feel overwhelming.
I am a newbie when it comes to an online business.
My vision is to put what I have done in the healthcare field into an online business. I have been doing physical body work for the last 28 years and have developed and created a healing modality I call Infrastructure Healing.
Physically I can not work the hours I did in the past and would like to generate an online business related to my field. I have 28 years of experience in my private practice and feel I can write, create e-books and sell affiliated products I have come to trust.
I would like to generate $100,000.00 a year. Also my license for my practice is in Arizona and I would like to generate enough income to be able to move to California to watch my grand kids grow up.
Looking forward to working with you.
Dr. Mark

MY VISION
My vision is to have a going internet business that will bring me in $1,000.000 IN income each year so we can live comfortably with an estate to replace the home we lost. Not just one but others in places around the world I would like to live in from time to time. My vision also is to be able to travel first class to all these places and take four vacations a year in first class resort areas and never have to worry about the bills. Also to build a large $500,000 residual income that will take care of my wife and children after I am no longer alive.
My vision is I want to have my own business on internet, I have work as employee about 17 year and I think I will try as side job first and I hope if I can make money online I will leave my job.
Hi Eric, My vision is to develop a successful online biz that will make about 250K a year. I want to be debt free and have an income that can be teachable to other people so I can show my son and a few other relatives and friends how to make money on the web.I dont owe much money, but I am {a good looking} 69 year old man, and I would like to leave my wife in a little better shape than we are right now. We contribute to the 700 club on a monthly basis and I would love to double what we give, and leave my wife in good financial condition. so that she could do that after I’m gone.I am not in a hurry, I’m thankful for every day.I have a lot of confidence and work discipline and know that I can accomplish this now that I have been fortunate enough to meet you. John
Have you posted lesson 14? If you have, it didn’t come through. Can and will you please post it again?
Thank you
It’s posted now, thanks
Eric, you have absolutely nailed it for me. The puzzle analogy hit me so hard that I had to pause the video to write this.
I build websites for a living right now, and this is exactly the way I begin a project, with a puzzle picture from my clients of the end result. Then I find the pieces I need to build that picture.
It is AMAZING to me that never once did I transfer that method of thinking to Internet marketing.
I have been guilty of spending thousands (yes, thousands!) on the latest and greatest methods of “making easy money online”, only to find that I couldn’t wrap my head around the “system” presented to me. I am beginning to see that I was reading the words, seeing the tools, but not visualizing MY end result.
I had thousands of dollars worth of puzzle pieces, but NO PICTURE. This, of course, lead to NO appreciable result.
Right now I feel like a safe-cracker who feels the tumblers finally align, opening the safe to the treasures within.
I thank you for that. Let me also say that I am glad that I kept my subscription active when I got discouraged and went on an unsubscribe spree a few months ago.
God bless and keep you and yours, and hurry up with the next lessons!
I’m glad to hear that this lesson really hit the nail on the head for you
Thank you!
Hello Eric,
My vision as a father of 9 and a grandfather of 9 (so far!!) would have to do with time. My goal is to have the freedom and flexibility to spend the time to build into there lives and others as God brings them along, This would include things like: time, holding them, fishing with them, answering any of the thousand questions they are able to ask (does anybody know do worms sleep???), to go to there parties at school during the day, or to be able to eat lunch with them, to be able to buy them a car, to work with them on there verses they are memorizing, to be able to show and say that we love them.
I would also like to be able to visit some of the missionaries that our church supports and to be able to help and encourage them.
To do these and other things I would need to be able to provide for our current and future expenses, without working 92 hours a week.
My vision would be to work, I think that is healthy and even neccessary (just ask Adam) but to be able to be flexable, to patch work in around whats really important, my relationship to God and to people, instead of people taking a back seat to work.
I know that doesnt sound to specific or targeted as far as the financial goals, but I do know how to work and I am not afraid of it!!
Thank you and God Bless you Eric
Good Morning Eric,
Your example of life from 30,000 feet is so true. Looking down from that height everything thing looks so serene, calm and organized but you can’t see all the cars and people making wrong turns and the number of corrections needed to reach their goals.
Every guy on this blog has taken a trip knowing where he wants to go, getting lost and not asking for directions but ultimately reaching his destination after making wrong turns. Very much like life.
I look at your sharing not as a map for success but the latest, greatest GPS. Plug in our vision, apply the work, follow the directions and even with hazards a vision can become real. Oh yeah and don’t forget faith, a vision without faith is a dream..
My vision is not just about the personal potential for wealth but to reach a point where I can give without worrying about next months bills and give for the sake of giving without any expectations attached.

I want to bring my country and africa to the Internet. To slowly reduce my business/working hours and affect the world with my faith.
Thanks so much for this opportunity and encouragement! Very special indeed!
We have begun working on our vision, started a website that connects travel hosts in various countries to travelers. We concentrate on culturally interesting places, encouraging friendship and cultural exchange.
This travel style keeps funds in the local communities and encourages cottage industries. We have worked really hard and everyone is happy except…We are still working full time in our daily jobs and this is not sustainable so…
Our vision is to develop multiple online income sources that will sustain us and allow us to travel and develop more host sites. Then travelers can immerse themselves in the culture of the area and learn. The internet also allows those who cannot physically travel to benefit from cultural information presented. Hopefully, we will add many more interactive features to the website to encourage online cultural exchange!
We would also like to develop an import-export arm of the business to facilitate cottage industry crafts in our host communities, providing a means to more people’s livelyhood and creating jobs in our unemployed home state of Michigan.
We would like a house in Michigan big enough to hold our kids and their families, Moms, friends and critters. We would like to travel 4-6 months of the year. We need funds enough to support good living wages and benefits for all employees and funds to support development at the host sites in various developing countries. I think 1-2 million gross per year should give this a good start! Still have to do the math.
Cool vision
Hey I just checked out your site and noticed this…
http://worldstogethertravel.com/belize/quiche-host.htm
That’s very close to where I went in Belize, in fact I drive through San Antonio village, which is where your host was born.
I wondered about your location in Belize. I was surprised to hear that an orphanage was necessary as everyone seemed to have such a strong sense of family and responsibility there. Do you have a place where I can read more details on your mission (I already read and contributed on this Eric’s Tips Video site)
By the way thank you so much for sharing your expertise. You can see how many lives it is touching!
There is a strong sense of family, but also a lot of poverty and unwanted children in some areas. http://www.lolministry.com/
I’m going to be helping them with their website and will be updating it soon with new information and a video I’m making.
My “VISION” is a lofty one. It’s to help others by providing them with solutions to their problems. One of the problems I see as major is providing a good home and environment for all living creatures. My vision is to find ways I can be of service to others and their offspring by providing help for their problems and their living environment. In finding those ways - Ill be answering their questions according to my best experience, Ill be providing the best solutions I can, which they can use to their benefit. I’ll be providing my family with a good life because in helping other people, I will be rewarded. I’ll be making the world more sustainable and transferring knowledge that will contribute to this sustainability. I’ll be providing solutions which also help the planet to survive and it’s ecology to continue to exist and to thrive. This is for the comfort and joy of all living creatures, not just for humans, and because the world has evolved and should continue to evolve without wars and destruction.
That’s my broad vision - to concentrate on helping people achieve their visions and to help them to survive in an age where we need to learn how to exist harmoniously instead of destructively with the systems we have been blessed with and inherited. Our cultural, environmental and social systems - I plan to try and maintain and continue these systems for all to enjoy, benefit and to sustain their lives with! That’s my vision for my business.
It may mean I have to make big changes in my life but that’s the way I see my vision for the future.
Hi Eric,
Great messages & repeating listen to this one really make sense to us.
We intend to succeed on this Online business as to make real monies as much as we can & will share this ideas to the community as to help them to success & live with no more poverty.
Ths, regards
Hi Eric,
My vision is to help people to reduce their energy costs through the use of available technologies which have thus far been suppressed by the government.
I will measure my success by the number of people whose lives are greatly improved by using these much more efficient and eco-friendly products.
Feel free to visit my site for shocking information regarding the truth behind rising gas prices, there is nothing for sale there.
MY BUSINESS VISION
PRIMARY BUSINESS (here on earth)
As a Christian, I would like to help in proclaiming God’s good news to every citizen of this WORLD so that we can finally be in the “mansions” that God had prepared for each one of us! - I want an online site that will focus on my “PRIMARY” business that will send different literatures to the utmost part of the world!
While doing God’s work, I also look forward for a commercial business that will focus on selling vegetarian and wellness products for a healthy, Christian lifestyle.
Thank you very much Eric for helping us to reach our visions and may continually God bless us here at ericstips!
Hi Eric,
My business vision is to earn a minimum of $25,000 per month using your proven techniques online… and that’s minimum what I mean. I believe other luxuries accompany automatically and any extra income would further boost me to set higher goals. Of course, philanthropical interests are always there in my agenda to do precious little for my brethren of this planet earth. And I hope you will steer me towards this realizable goal(Hope I’m not greedy Eric!)
Regards and god bless Eric!
Murthy.
Dear Hewlitt,
Very interesting, but how do you come up with such an equation? Thanks for commenting….
All the best,
Bonnie
Katherine,
How did you come up with the company/capital for your ventures???
All the best,
Bonnie
Hi,
my vision for my blog is just to replace my dayjob income - $10,000 a month. I am a musician, and for me the point is to be able to play/record/create/travel/perform without worrying about paying rents etc etc etc. I have a blog started, and I want to built it up to the point where it’s got at least 1,000 regular visitors and an active forum and many co-contributors and a few volunteer moderators so I only have to spend a few hours a week on it.
Then I can concentrate the rest of my time on my music and my family…
aaaaahhhhhh…
[…] lessons ago we talked about the importance of having a vision, which is basically the big picture of where you want to go. And in the previous lesson we talked […]
My vision is to succeed online and to be the best marketer possible. To own and operate several niche websites. The goal is to make a comfortable living at home so that we no longer have to work for anyone but ourselves.
One of my visions is to earn a Grammy award.
I am from South America,but I want that Grammy.
I see myself clearly getting this award.
I am extremely busy now with a kids CD and I will launch this CD in august both on and off line.I tried to get some sponsoring,but I hate begging,and explaining so I started. I know the kids of my country needed new songs so I wrote them. I have a daycare and preschool,and know there have not been written new kids songs in Suriname for more than twenty years.Everything is working out fine just like I planned.
My goal is to sell 100.000 CD,s
I will also build a big play center for the kids of Suriname,because every time we want to go somewhere with the kids,of the preschool its a problem,because there are not much kid friendly places.
Everything is possible,I know that!
Wow, that is cool! What is the song on your home page? Is it one of yours?
Hi Ruth,
A plain well done on your achievements and a ‘keep going’ on your vision,thank you for sharing your thoughts and talents.

Hi eric, My vision in life would be to be debt free, travel the world, and quit my day job. I have raised my two children and now have granchildren. I am now divorced and want to make a new life for myself. My vision would be to have the best online businesses that I could possibly have. I already have two business up and running. One is sandysbears.com and the waldropenterprises.com. I am using dropshippers for both businesses. I am hoping with your guidance you can help me make these the best they can be. I have followed your advice and lessons. I have never done anything on the internet before.I figured it is now or never and to jump in with both feet!I truly thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping us newbies.
Thanks for the post Dick, it’s an honor to have you as a reader.
That’s great, in fact I appreciate the recommendation! Thanks
That’s very cool, and I love how you visualize it.
Absolutely Cel… now you’re starting to think bigger
You need to look at the glass half full. Based on your very thoughtful reply, you obviously have a very smart half a brain, and you have the BEST half of your life ahead of you. When you free your mind and rise above those doubts, you will enter a more fulfilling life, regardless of how much money you’re making. You can do it!
Thanks for sharing your journey with us
I hope we can help you take the next step…
Good vision Peter, and keep up the good work for the kingdom.
MY VISION: To empower single mothers to be successful. Inspiring single mothers to create and manifest the life they desire. To enjoy financial freedom making at least 100,000 in 90 days but more like 330,000 from my internet marketing, allowing me flexibility and finances to parent my children in the way I want and find my divine soulmate.
Hi Eric,
Thanks for your Lessons,They are
inspiring as you expect them to be
and very educational.
I realize the knowledge and experiences
you are sharing are sold by some for a
very high price. Thanks again for not
Charging us because most of us Cannot
afford to pay the value in Cash.
My VISION is to inspire people who thrive
to be successful on line and help them realize
their Dreams in Life.
By doing that I see myself Taking my online
business to a level of realizing my Goal
reaching a residual income of 1 Million a
year and beyond.
I have always enjoyed giving needy people
when ever I could and I am dreaming to be
able to share with needy people more with
my increased income as well as the knowledge.
Hi Eric, I’m 60 now ,have three beautifull daughters one grandchild,and another comming these days. Was part of a family business, but due to economical situations in my country lost everything some years ago and now “my vision” is to be able to help my daugthers too buy a house each so they can raise my grandchildren in “their own house”.I owe this to myself!!!
My vision on this business is to launch a successful online business to market informational product, primarily “how to”, success personal growth, health & well being, real estate such as investment properties, discounted notes, mortgages RE in coastal areas of Central & South America.
To have affiliates that are in accord with my ideas and principles. My business will generate at least 25,000 a month and it can be managed from anywhere in the world.
The success information products I plan to offer will also be in Spanish & Portuguese to fight poverty in Latin America, since I believe poverty is a state of mind more than anything, once a person stops thinking that is poor (welfare mentality)that person can be what they want. Myself have been broke many times but never poor (I was fortunate to learn this from my parents who were big thinkers). I have learned to be a possibility thinker (like Dr Shuller says) and want to pass this on to the less privileged and I cannot see any other better way than to do it online.
I will learn and apply what I learn to build a business which makes £100,000 profit by July 2009.
[…] Lesson #13: Getting a Vision for Your Business […]
Hi Eric

Eric
My vision is for my wife and I to work 20 hours per week, spend 6 months each with grandchildren in CA and OK, spend time helping others in Celebrate Recovery and other ministries helping men. We want to earn at least 10k a month.
Good Evening Eric,
I m very happy today. Your Lesson #13 has given me a roadmap which I have been missing for a very long time.
I work with an Advertising Company, and my focus was always around what I see close to me. I never realised the importance of the “BIG PICTURE”. Your lesson has changed the way I think. Thanks Eric.
Julius’ Vision
To Start my own offline Advertising company with my own capital from the Online Business world.
To Understand my niche business, make a constructive plan and build it over a period of time. ( I have earlier attended lots of seminars, and internet programs…But Eric, What I have learnt here “@erictips” for FREE is worth a million dollars).
I intend to reach a sales figure of 1 million dollars by mid December. I want to donate a huge amount to needy children, so that they can celebrate this christmas, with a smile.
Thanks

mY VISION IS TO GET PAID FOR MY PASSIONS WHICH ARE:to introduce everyone I come in contact with to the Lord Jesus; & to teach all how to have good health & be free of pain. I wasn’t interested in wealth when I chose these & they are very competitive with very small remuneration. Perhaps I’LL CHANGE MY GOALS TO INCLUDE WEALTH TOO. God bless you.

HI ERIC,I AM NOT A WIMP WHEN IT COME TO MIND-FIXATED- ON- SUCCESS.I HAVE SUCH TENACITY OF PURPOSE SUCH THAT IN COMPARISON A BULL DOG GRIP IS LIKE THE GRIP OF A DAY OLD BABY.MY VISION IS TO HAVE AN INTERNET BUSINESS THAT WILL MAKE YOUR ACHIEVEMENT IN IT JUST A BEGINNER’S EFFORT.
Wow! If I’d have known any better, after you mentioned all that, I’d have guessed that you were one of my previous managers! Just about the only thing that seperates you from him is that he has a young boy. (His name is Neal too.)
Sounds like you’ve done it all in the IT field and if I know something of that, I can see why you’re ready to move on. Requires alot of time, analyzation, studying, etc.
Good luck with everything you’re doing from here forward. Hope all your dreams are realized.
Take care.
Hello Eric and everyone,
It’s Prakash here. I come from the island of Mauritius, I doubt you may not have heard of my little island. Well I can say with confidence that it’s the best place in the world. Not so developed like America but you can get everything here and lead the most peaceful life that you have ever wanted.
I am a student,22 years old and a newbie to internet marketing and I want to make the internet the tree of cash for me. I have lived so far a very modest life and I really want to get rid of all these and live a life where money is not given importance at all and the problem here is that to lead such a life, unfortunately money is needed.
My vision is to be someone who has money to help everyone I can who are in distress financially,my parents my friends and everyone who I know. I want to live with my two grandmothers, to look after them and give them whatever they want as in old days there is no one here for them.
I always want to be my own boss and work in my own pace and time and with your lessons I can see the ray of light coming day after day. I am ready to work more than 80 hours per week to reach my goal and get 50000 per month.(one tenth of it will be ok),well that’s my vision after all,
My passions are music, technology and I want to provide to people good stuffs that can enhance their life in a better way,whether be it on health, wealth and peace.
Thanks a lot for the wonderful help that you are giving Eric
Prakash

God bless and more power!
Eric: You know–you are something else–you are special to many people and they do not realize it at this point in their life.
My Vision is to provide assistance to individuals with substance abuse issues, as I have for the past 10 years, only now I see a minimum of $3,000,000.00 a year as the operating budget. They need more and better fcilities to assist them in turning their life around. Thank you for your wisdom.

Thanks again,
Tim
Hi Eric,
Thank you for being such a great help and more than that, for being a man of God whom we feel we can trust and learn from.
My husband (Bob,age 70) and I (age 67) are studying your materials. I have recently quit my JOB and when Bob quits his JOB, we already have a comfortable retirement worked out; however, we desire to make enough money so we can have a “more than comfortable” retirement plus be a financial blessing to our family (five children and 13 grandchildren) and to be a blessing to our church and church family above and beyond our tithe.
Our vision is to have an online business income of $25,000+ per month. Our strategy is to first always pray and follow the wisdom which God so freely gives and to faithfully follow your lesson guidelines and decide exactly what type of online business to pursue. We believe we will reach and go beyond our goals.
May the Lord bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you.

My vision and mission remains as it has been the last 50 years, to change the present civilisation and make it more ethical and humane through individuals expressing their own complete inner freedom. I need to provide adequate resources to fund this major change in society, but above all to prove to everyone that I truly am master of my own destiny. This will involve extensive worldwide travel and every last breath I take.
Vision:
I am writing the articles for my websites and products sitting on the deck of my mountain cottage, steaming cup of coffee at hand, just in view of my art studio which is a short walk down a path. There are garden rooms that surround the property which is located in a community of artists and creative individuals.
The streams of passive income I receive are only surpassed in gratitude by the appreciation I have for being able to help so many with my arts and healing manuals and workshops. I am thrilled to be able to make a difference with people who are looking for a more authentic path and also with groups of mentally and physically challenged children and adults.
My cup runneth over.
Hi Eric,

My big picture is to be debt free by end of 2008. By 2009 I have enough money to travel, continue my scuba diving, climb mountains (Everest!!!!) , to help my family back home, start off a business that my supposedly retired but still working Dad could handle without much stress, buy my apartment & build my family village home which consist of five big rooms & big big yard. My other vision for this coming months is going back home for my two best friends wedding; in which I have to do some good photo & videoshoot thus having a good camcorder & camera to start with. Not forgetting the gifts that I’m buying for them & for my families. The family home needs a new PC.

God Bless.
Eric,
I got started late, so I am taking on these lessons 3 at a clip, until I catch up.
My vision is to be able to travel freely in the world without having to worry about income limitations. Writing and teaching. Just being able to help those I meet solve a difficult problem; Being able to assist a charity I have an affinity with–both with my time and financially; having a residence on 3 continents…
These are just a few of the goals I’d like to reach.
To do this, I will need a significant residual income. The bar will be raised as needed, so I have set no income limits in my mind.
I see as I write this, that Keenan also pretty much summed up a similar vision, and it looks like we are all in very select company!
Hey Eric,
I just want to say hello before we get started. You’ve been the subject of many conversations here at the Malone house, but we’ve never actually “spoken”.
So… Hello.
First some mini visions.
Catch up on the lessons by weeks end.
Overcome my trepidation about this new direction for the lives of myself and my family. I have been on FML(family medical leave) since June 23rd. My wife and I decided I should take this time to help her care for our five children while they were home from school for summer break. She has been diagnosed with Lupus recently and chasing around five rugrats and caring for our home loomed as too much for her to handle alone. I am in the 13th year working for the same company, which is longer than I have worked for anyone ever in my life other than myself. Due to the success of Sabrina’s site workingmom.com we find ourselves in the unique position of having the opportunity to decide whether or not I will even return to my job when my leave is scheduled to end on September 1st. We have had many conversations and have put this decision to much prayer. Suffice it to say though that I can be a creature of habit and change does not come easily to me at first. Be that as it may, the point of this mini vision is that if I close my eyes and picture the next month in my mind, I don’t see it ending with me returning to the job that I have long since left in spirit and have been successfully functioning in under autopilot for years.
Now for the longterm. My vision is to become the best Husband and Father that I can be. To accomplish this I feel that the more time I can spend growing my relationship with my wonderful wife and the more time I can spend raising and nurturing the five gifts from GOD that are my children, the more successful I will be. I will use my very varied and unique life experiences to develop websites that will offer people products, information and services which will help them with their everyday needs while hopefully helping them gain the blessings and opportunities that I gave been given.
Some of the ideas that I have as far as offerings are in areas as basic as “how to” (my many years in the home improvement field and retail sales would translate here) all the way up to maintenance free and energy efficient , self sufficient homes. I also have some ideas for people who need help getting organized, but more importantly, staying organized and being able to do more of the things that can help you to be happy and successful.
By the end of our first year we will have monthly gross revenues in excess of $25,000 monthly, growing to $100,000 monthly by the end of year 2.
Eric, thank you for being a good friend to Sabrina, and thank you for Eric’s Tips. Let’s get to work!!!
Talk to you soon,
Big Dan
Hey Eric!
Thank you for all the video’s and help. I’ve recently got into the online business because I hurt my back and several doctors can not figure out what exactly is wrong with it. But I haven’t been working for a couple of months, so no income. I have a wife and a beautiful daughter. I’ve been thinking about working online for a long time, but never had the time. So now that I have the time I’m really want this to work so I can spend more time with my family, take them on vacations. Hopefully one day my wife can quit her job. I want to buy her a ranch home so she can get horses to ridc, just like when she was little. My wife and I would love to have more kids. I want to be able to put them through college. That’s my vision. Nice family life. Thanks again for all the help!
Hello Eric,
Thanks for the way you teach. You are easy to follow. My vision in a very short form is simply… to have numerous web sites Adsense and Affiliate types. Informative sites in many different niches such as health; green site; just to name a couple. I will also help my close friends and family in this area as well.
I will have two homes, one up here in the north which is home and one down south where it is warm. If $500 thousand is where I get to I will be happy but I plan on much more than that.
My business vision is to succeed in making a million online & offline, helping those interested in my websites. Teaching and helping others better their lives, while improving mine daily.
My vision is to become financially free. I am just learning what internet marketing is and my goal with this venue to make enough money not to need to be based out of any one area. 30K/month after taxes. Recently I have had health issues which will not allow me to spend years physically practicing my profession as I had planned. But, as an expert in my field, I envision being able to inform individuals about this field so they came understand their choices better, be their own advocate when deciding on who should treat them, and what to expect from someone who knows what they are doing - to connect with people who leave an office not understanding what happened during their appointment. I believe this service will be great for both sides of the fence patients, and doctors. Perhaps some product opportunities will present themselves, I am already beginnig to think of a couple. I hope to begin this business or any business I start, with little cash up front, and using what I have. I would like to pull in enough income to purchase income generating real estate, and to have the tax advantage of a C corporation. When possible, I will purchase some lovely land and place a yurt, then “green house” on it for myself. I will travel and live in these areas for short periods of time, getting to know the people and learning what would improve their lives. I’d like to learn how they deal with my area of knowledge, whether it be scientific or folk medicine and bring this interesting information to the website. I’m also developing an offline business, which I will eventually sell at the right time. Thank you for going slow and reinforcing how important it is to build the foundation. The vision, and seeing the end, being the end in essence before we start it seems has been the single common link of all successful business ventures. I look forward to all that I will learn from you. Cynthia
Hi, Eric and others -
My vision is pretty simple, I think. I have a picture in my head of my wife and I working quietly together, paying bills without stressing out and enjoying a top credit rating. I see my sons wearing decent clothes and getting a regular (reasonable!) allowance. I see us contributing to worthy ministries and buying needed items for the ministries in which we’re already involved. I see us driving back and forth to church and other places in nice vehicles. I’ve sometimes thought about an extravagant lifestyle, but the REAL me just wants a secure and quiet existence. I see us taking a yearly vacation and showing our sons all of the beautiful places that can be seen.
My goals aren’t all that complicated either. In the short-term, I would like to generate a second income that will free us to run our Child Daycare without financial concerns. In the long-term, I’d like to pay us out of debt and buy the property we’re on or else buy another, nicer property. I want to accomplish these goals legally and ethically, and I want to be able to teach others the same thing.
Hi Eric,
This tutorial is a good evidence for that you are not only a Internet Marketer but also a Good Positive thinking trainer.
Actually my vision is to be the best Web Professional in Asia. I mean Best web developer, Best SEO, best Internet marketer, and etc. Currently I’m an undergraduate in Software Engineering. But my enthusiasm is WEB.
Thank you for your clear guidelines.
My vision is to pay off our debts and be able to support my family and be able to travel. I only desire to meet our needs and if there is more than income generated than what we need then it is my desire to support several ministries and missionaries I am involved with as well as be able to spend more time in the home bound mission field.
I love the internet and already make my living working as a self employed web designer. I would like to supplement my income so that even when I am away from my office I am still generating an income.
My goal is to develope several social network sites revolving around areas of interests I have to reach very specific audiences that are passionate about these areas of interest. One example is that my wife and I are Disney World vacationers and we know most everything you need to know to vacation there and save money. I would like it to be a community that I could market to as well as advertise to. I would like to explore as many areas of internet marketing that will continue to build on.
God bless
ERIC YOU DIDN’T ASK FOR THIS BUT I’M GIVING IT TO YOU..
I stumble on erictips.com by chance.
I can’t figure out the MAGICwords that brought me here.
Fast forward.. I joined the lesson and was impressed that none before ERIC HOLMLUND has said anything on BASIC ELEMENTS needed to fire up a biz online.
YOU are the first teacher to ask me write my vision on your webspace when others are reeling to their products.
I have no doubt that I can’t take the success route with you at the end of the 100 lesson.
Vision (10,000feet)
- I’ll be doing it no matter what it takes to work myself to be a successful Netpreneur with a networth of USD250,000 yearly
- To be financially independent
- I envision to pass these successful bizs that I farmed to my legacy and so on…
- As a student of Erictips, I will provide my own lessons and experiences to help out the millions of burn-out newbies out there.
Thank you for reading!
The vision is to own a well-established gaming website of which 50% of European gamers have used and 90% of active gamers (European) have heard of. It will be the catalyst in re-revolutionising the industry and be the port through which 20% of online gaming is generated providing me more than a £5 million yearly income. The success will stimulate leaders in the market to forge greater partnerships with us granting us a greater negotiation tool. The popularity of the site will allow me more freedom to research ways to develop it further while being able to devote more time to other projects (on and off-line).
My vision for my business is that I am able to leave working in corporate America no later than June 14, 2012.
I will do this through info product and affiliate marketing and by earning $1 million (minimum) in gross sales and a consistent $20K per month in a manner that I can partially automate/outsource. Over time, I will add freelance copywriting to the mix, especially nonprofit fundraising and grantwriting.
As I want to build the capacity for a “location independent” lifestyle, I will emphasize building a flexible business that I can do anywhere and that doesn’t depend on my continual presence.
I also intend to earn enough to apply for New Zealand residency through investor status (currently requires $2 million NZ$ to invest in NZ) and to set up a music scholarship fund at the Univ. of Denver in memory of an aunt who helped me afford college (she never attended college, but would have majored in music if she could have. Instead, she helped me attend DU.)
Wow, I thought I was reading what I was going to write. The only difference is that I cannot “vision” the million dollars a year gig. Maybe I do need to shoot for it and like Eric says I’ll get closer to it than shooting low. I actually have a house on 4.5 acres that I could park my RV, it would be nice to have a place to call home. Maybe our paths will cross on the road!
My vision is to have a internet business that I can take on the road. I’m going for it and saying that I will make $1 million/year. I want to live in an RV and travel the US, going wherever the wind will take me and love every minute of the job that I will have created for myself.
hey,eric!
must confess that i am guilty of shooting a might too low…looking to just make enough to get by!the challenge you posted causes one to reflect on an honest,realist goal…which takes time.Ed
My vision is to have financial freedom. To have a successful online business that I have a passion for and can work from anywhere in the world, in addition to generating an income of $1,000,000 per year. To have invested wisely so I may take extended amounts of time to travel with my family. In 5 years, I need to stop working hands on with my patients due to the physical demands. However, I do want to continue to stay connected to my profession and provide a service to all people. I would like to contribute 10% of my income and my time to a ministry that is close to my heart. Feel carefree enough to enjoy my friends, family and the world that surrounds me.
Eric,
First and foremost I want to thank you for your guidance and inspiration. I have read/listened to MANY people on internet marketing and I must say you are in a class by yourself. I appreciate your honesty and integrity and I look forward to working with you in the time to come.
As for my vision, I cannot separate my life and business visions, because I think they are 2 pieces in the same puzzle!
My vision is to create an entity that not only provides a steady, escalating, and recurring income for me and my family now, but also creates a sustainable residual income for the financial security for my daughter and future generations to come.
I look to My vision as a legacy generator that will most certainly provide wealth for my descendants, but will also (just as importantly) help support religious and social service.
**I intentionally did not include a dollar amount as I think this will limit my thinking and planning.
Thank you, Eric, again for your wisdom.
Joe
Eric
Great stuff these lessons are I love em!
For me I’ve been here online for awhile no success to speak of YET!
I vision my web design business to be the best out there, it will hve membership attached to it. I want to help others (beginners espeically) get their prescense known online as soon as possible. I love to teach people how to do thinhgs the right way. I want to be making at lease $1 million/yearly. /This will help my son with his disabilities and his dreams of becoming a reptile breeder, specificly bearded dragons. I want to live debt free and be able to put away for colleges and retirement. Enough income to help fammily and friends achieve their goals.
I love building websites, simple easy systems, nt all that fancy stuff. I have lots of dreams of what I want to do but main focus and vision is to help others get online with their websites/blogs
Money is one thing for success, but I also enjoy just as much the satisfaction of helping someone see the light, as when they get excited at seeing their website up, or getting that first check from their website, that is worth than money!
But I am so far in debt my goal is to be able to make at least $1 million/year!
Thanks for this opportunity Eric to share, all the above visions are fantastic keep it up
Laura
I see myself as a well trained and well versed exponent of internet marketing and e-commerce. I see myself owning and operating 6 to 10 highly profitable web based businesses that are generating at least 0ne half million to one full million dollars U.S. per month each. I see that I have a complete business infrastructure in place that ensures that I have an abundance of free time. I AM refined, well clothed and manage an Investment portfolio of shares, gold, real estate and commercial properties that exceeds 100 million dollars.
My Vision for my Online Business:
Is to see myself quitting my daytime nightmare (JOB) within 12-24 months. Not having to worry about MONEY, Creditors or Mortgage payments. To go on vacation anytime anywhere.
Living in my dream home, spending more time with my wife and kids and attending all my kids sporting events.
And MOST importantly helping all my siblings reaching their Financial goals just like I WILL. Donating the balance of the money to complete our new Church buiding. Helping the church parishioners who are struggling with their finances and helping the elderlies weekly.
My goal after succeeding in my online business WILL be to help as much people as i can to be successful because that will make me feel more fullfil than all the money in the world.
hi, my vision right now is to be a successful affilliate marketer right now and make enough money to work from home. and no have to work a 9-5.
I stored your lessons away and I am now going through them so my comments are a little behind others.
Vision:
I want an independent business where I will enjoy the benefits of my efforts and my success. My vision is to have an online business(s) centered around my passion for all the outdoors. Especially hunting, fishing, retriever training, adventure and the environment. My business will be home based and set up so I can take it on the road in pursuit of the passions mentioned. I want the income from my business to be over 500,000 per year. In addition to becoming debt free and replacing the 401k I am using to do this I will help those in my world less fortunate and help my family where needed.
Hi!
Great visions to be read here, and positive thinking is always good to hear/read!
My vision is to spend the free time I have actually to continue building this network of websites, eventually generating enough income to supplement my next job as an IT project manager, which will replace the 17 past years of programming jobs I’m definitely bored with.
And finally, completely fed up with IT
I shall put enough cash aside, like 1.5M$-2M$.
This will help me to build my next business, the aquaponic farm of my dreams, providing fish and veggies that I’ll be happy to sell on the local markets.
I’ll get another wealthy couple of years in order to achieve this, and I thank God to keep me in the same good health as before. If not even better
Thanks for the videos, Eric. I just bought the ‘Sales for Dummies’ book, will help me to start becoming a salesperson. My turn to sell!!
Fred.
Greetings Eric. My vision is to be free and live my life on my terms, not my employers’. That means being financially self-sustaining, so that I may spend more time with my wife, building a family without having to worry about my income flow.
In short, I envision breaking away from the rat race and the rat race crowd. I’ve already broken away from the race race mentality. So that’s one down, 2 more to go.
My vision is to create a business that helps people to be free from the challenges of health, prosperity, relationships and self expression by discovering God given principles that reveal their right to a purposeful and satisfying life. My information helps them to gain a sense of control in their lives and i can provide them help along the way.
I find a way to attract millions of people seeking long term fulfillment and sell my information for a small sum to create the millions of dollars annually that allow me to return return to my homeland and provide better education to poor children, put boots on their feet in winter, create industry, opportunity and incomes for the families and much, much more!
This brings me ultimate satisfaction in life and allows me to live in the place that I love and surrounded by the folk I care about.
Eric, First of all I want you to know how much I appreciate the style in which you teach. My vision is to be successful in my endeavor with my internet business. I just recently started this business and my GOAL right at this moment is to learn the right skills to take it to a successful place and keep it there. God Bless you for caring about othere in the marketing industry.

Thank uou caring, like the person above says.
i am a Nigerian, going into business for myself and my vision for my business is to have a successful and growing business by 2010,in Jesus Name,Amen.
My vision for myself is to be financially free.it also is my vision to be a philanthropist who will have the resources to cater for the less priviledged in my society such as orphans and widows.
It is also my vision to finance gospel activities such as church development projects and to cater for the welfare of full-time ministers of the gospel.
And i wish to finance these visions from the proceeds of my successful business.It will come to pass in Jesus name,Amen.
My vision is to be financially free. I want to have passive incomes from my successful online businesses that will support my family and that will allow me to travel around the world with my family. Eventually, I also want to invest in real estates and stocks. Ultimately, my greatest goal is to put a foundation that will cater to street children here in my country.
Me and my fiancee have put ourselves on a 5-year Plan which we are beginning to implement by the end of this Year to be financially independant by the end of the 5 years. We’re starting with a few easy, quick-start ideas to push us into multiple streams of income, using some re-sell items as well as items we create upon our own (I’m a writer and also look forward to what you have to say about getting others to write your content)then next Spring I plan to open a few online streams of income/sites that focus on certain niche areas that (unfortunately) are already out there…but I strongly believe that I will “stomp” the Competition.We have solid plans to take a majority of our profits and invest in real estate onnce we have cleared our debt and put away a set stipend each year from all profits for our retirement. We’re taking this step by step and being realistic, using affiliates and viral marketing to get going, and understanding that we cannot leaves our “day jobs” until we can at least match what we make out in the real world. Hence the 5-year plan. Slow, easy, rationally, put our love and our efforts (and much of our spare time) into our Dreams.
My vision is to have a successful online business that allows me to earn at least 1 million per year (not sure what I want to sell), quit my job and work from home no more than 38 hours per week, have a holiday each year with my family, buy a house and a new car,have money put aside for the children’s education and to be able to support the charities of my choice.
Hi Eric:
My goal is to retire in luxury. I want to travel worldwide, and I would like to have my dreamhouse. I also want to establish trust funds for my children. I have a monetary goal of $100,00 to be made within 6 mos. And I intend to increase my goals every 6 months thereafter.
My vision is to build a business around my passions for family health and the environment. I have an idea for a information website and online store for non-toxic living. I’m not entirely sure how this will translate into a sizable income yet (apart from the store) but I’m sure I will learn all about multiple income streams that I can apply to this business. Financially, I would like to be earning a minimum of $100,000/year within two years and $1,000,000/year as an ultimate goal (I don’t have a realistic time frame for that yet- maybe 10 years? Hopefully less!). I would like to be able to work no more than 20 hrs per week, so that I still have lots of time for my two year old son. My income will also enable my husband to work fewer hours at his business (IT Consultant), so we can do some travelling and enjoy more family time. We will be able to upgrade from our townhouse to a home with some property and be mortgage free. I would like to help my brother’s family buy a house and relieve some debt burdens of other family and friends.
Shannon
My vision is to build a successful online business that will allow me to retire in ten years and spend the following year cruising around the world with my girlfriend. The business will be successful enough to provide economic security for myself for the rest of my life and leave economic security for my daughter.
My vision is to create an online marketing business which will allow me to spend more quality time with my two children. I will incorporate my passion for the remodeling industry, specifically kitchen and bath remodeling, to generate $50,000/mth of business. My success will allow me the opportunity to give more back to this great planet and its people than I receive.
My vision is to publish a book which includes all of the spiritual decendants of Abraham. This would include Moses, the prophet of the Jews, Christ, the prophet of the Christians, and Muhammad, the prophet of the Muslims. The book is called Holy Trilogy, the basis of a story I wrote, and this should sell well enough to finance the publication of a subsequent book similarly attempting to reconcile all religion. Finally, I would like to write and sell a book about evidence, proof, theory and fact, faith and belief which would help to more reasonably establish priorities and directive in religion, science, art, trade and policy, among other things.

Hi, Eric. My vision is to have an automated publishing business providing downloadable products focusing on my expertise in relationship coaching that will bring me in $500,000 a year. I will spend a number of hours a week writing eBooks, since I enjoy the writing act. My goal is to show people how they can experience loving and fulfilling relationships with a wide variety of people, even in the work situation. I see myself giving presentations and also training new coaches as the information business grows.
Can’t wait for the next few lessons!
Alvin
Eric,
My vision is to have a successful, God centered, online business tailored around my passion for religion. I want to create multiple streams of income and I will work from my home office so that I can spend quality time with my family doing the things that we love to do. I will work less than 40 hours a week and my business will bring in $1 million a year. I will give to charity as I have always wanted to do and I will be a missionary, here and abroad, for the Lord.
like it Melissa, give God the Glory due His Name!
Hi Eric
Would like to say thank you for your lessons once again they really are what is needed for me to move forward and start moving towards my vision. My vision is to be financially successful in an area of internet marketing that is close to my heart. With this success I will be able to start to live other areas of my life in the way i wish travelling and investing time in projects that are not for financial gain but for personal fullfilment. A very important part of my vision is to provide a stable future for my son and alleviate stresses associated with a lack of financial security. I am on my way towards the vision and goals.
Hi Eric,
I want to thank you for your lessons.I am finding them very beneficial as i am in the process of setting up a web site for Personal and Executive Coaching.I am new to internet marketing, so the lessons from you are great.
Regarding vision, Helen Keller said “The only thing worse than not having sight is not having vision”
My vision is,I see myself happy successful and fulfilled. I see myself and my wife having time to travel the world.I see me helping thousands of people to live happier and more fulfilled lives.
Hi Eric,
Before sharing my vision, I would just like to say that I am “blown away” by what you have to say and how you say it in Eric’s Tips! You are so “down to earth” and “easy to listen to”. What “gems” of knowledge you have shared thus far. I keep pinching myself as it is hard to believe this is all FREE! Thank you!
Ok, my business vision! I am 54 and would love to be able to quit my current job in the next couple of years, to “travel the world”, enjoy more quality family time, increase my monetary commitments to charities, church, and our community, help out our 4 kids with post secondary education and in general feel great about life and helping others to realize their vision. All this with my 6-figure income from Internet Marketing!!!
Hi Eric,
I want to start an internetbusiness which makes fun and 10000 $ a month. So far I got lost with all the information and scams in the internet until I found your site. Thank you, it helps me lot. I know now I will achive my goals.
My vision is to be a successful internet marketer and erning good money on-line. I would like a six figure incoe within six months and I would like a laptop so I can travel extensively
First of all, I want to honor God in everything I do especially my business because everything belongs to him. But, my vision is to see myself out of debt soon and possible. Be able to take nice vacations, and help people get and debt free. Finally, have multiple streams of income.
First off Eric, thank you for doing what you are doing… I really appreciate the difference in you. I feel a trust and comfort in you…
MY VISION:
My vision is to become debt free, and to establish a $1,000,000 college fund for my grandchildern (my bride of 47 years and I have eight children and 23 grandchildren). I will accomplish this through an online business that utilizes my writing and photography skills. I envision an income of $500,000 a year within the next six months. In the beginning I will work between 40 and 70 hours per week and reduce the working hours to 20 to 30 hours per week after one year. I will continue to support my church and community.
I would like to begin by thanking you for your down to earth lessons that I am sure will enable me to be successful. My vision is to retire next year at 55 years of age and to earn a large income part time that will enable me have enough time to enjoy my passions which are golf and travel. At the same time I will be able to ensure that my kids are well provided for and can fulfill their dreams. My daughter is in the film industry and my son in the music industry and are both passionate about their respective fields but struggling to survive. I am only starting out and thank you for your inspiration.
I’d like to generate an income of at least several thousand dollars a year, possibly through information products and products dealing with people’s pets. This would replace my income and my wife could stop working. What I see in my vision is a work environment which is somewhat challenging, but also fun, which could take up the better part of my day but from which I could also take a break.
My vision is to have a business that is based in health and well-being. I would love to involve all aspects of this in my online business. A healthy lifestyle and enlightened thinking is the vision of my business. It will involve using the environment wisely, eating to maintain health, being an educated consumer, exercising and of course education for living an enlightened life. My goal is to make 1 million dollars my first year and quit my “day” job. This will enable me to be home more for my kids and husband. I will also volunteer my time and money to the organizations that enrich my life and that of others. I will become more involved in my community and work to make it a better place to thrive in life. As my business grows, I will share my knowledge and business with those I care for. It will be so nice to be a positive influence on so many people. I will cherish the fact that I have built a community of people who share the same ideas and views fro a better world. I will truly love the life and career I have made for myself.
Eric thanks for all of the lessons I waited until they were more indepth beyond the basics, though I have went through them from the begining.
My Life Goal
I have a house where I can see the ocean and the mountains depending on the direction I look. I have enough financial security to help those in need, from family and friends to strangers on the street. I have a legacy to pass down to my children. I work when I like and make money while spending time with my family. I have a SUCCESSful painting career. My great-grandkids will be financially secure.
Eric, thankyou! This is a timely and welcome step by step mentoring for a scared newbie. I am self employed in the classical music industry and it is my vision to earn upwards of $300,000/year with affiliate marketing and info products working 20-30 hours/week so that I am free to pursue, from home and close to my family, occasional specific musical projects which are dear to me. Consequently, my wife wife will then be free to leave her day job and pursue her healing work at home. We have a 13 year old daughter and three of us are very keen to travel extensively.
My vision for my life and business..I would like to have a business that helps promote talented creative individuals as well as helping myself to promote and sell my work.
I would like to be financially free or earning enough where am not constantly worrying about not having enough income coming in.
Being financially Independent, I can truely spend the time doing the things I love to do more off like travel, art + design or just spend time with people I care about.. TO ME THATS HOW LIFE SHOULD BE !!!
My vision is to have a successful online co-operative business showcasing original art and reproductions, antiques and collectibles, crafts, silk florals and loungewear. I will make $1,000,000. per year part-time, help many artists and travel, buying.
My vision is to run an online business and part of the business will be promoting and doing the hobbies I love. I will make 100,000+ a year and build my business to be a world wide enterprise.
Eric, I think I love you….
No, I’m not hitting on you. I just had to share this with you after listening to this video today.
Yesterday I watched a video from a professed “person just like you” who supposedly had it hard until she found what she was doing wrong.
Yes, I fell for it, was going to actually try to get some counseling in marketing (which so many have tried to sign me up for over the phone lately)…When I saw the cost..even the monthly cost…I was blown away.
I actually started crying because I have been trying to market online for 12 years and still didn’t “get it”. I thought this was my chance to finally find whatever it was I wasn’t quite getting.
I was so upset, actually, that I wrote to her email address and told her how I felt about it.
Anyway, its good to know there is someone like you who is willing to walk those of us who are struggling online, and totally broke, through the steps to figure out what we are doing and how to get there from here.
I sincerely want to thank you for these lessons. I WILL, some day, take you and your family out to dinner, my treat!

P.S. Oh, yeah, here is my vision.
My vison is to have a successful online business in internet marketing, so I can help others out there just like me.
I will work from home so I can work on my own schedule, and spend more time getting closer to my husband and children.
I will work less than 30 hours per week, get off SSI, and my business will bring in at least $500,000 a year within the next 5 years. I will take my children, even though they are grown and practically grown, to all the vacation spots I wanted to share with them while they were young but could never afford.
My vision is to be finacially independent. That is to have over 1 million dollars annually. I would like to use my on line business to help others. I also would like to have my home paid as well as all my debts. I would have two more homes in different areas. And I would love to take my mother (86 yrs old) to Italy where our ancestors live. She always wanted to go there. Along with this I would want to establish the business that my children and grandchildren would not have to work for someone else. This would be their inheritance that they could travel and absorb all they wanted to wherever they wanted.
My vision is to become an internet marketer who can market anything. To be confident in my ability to take on large business internet marketing campaigns and making a comfortable living so I can pay off all my debt, save for retirement and travel with my wife around the world. I would love to be able to help others through education and donating a portion of my income to charity.
I want to become extremely rich so that I can afford the better things in life for me and my family
Hi Erick,
For my last 10 years I’ve being working as a Respiratory Therapist 12 hours/shift 3-5 days a week. I have a bless family because we all(my wife, 3 boys and one girl) are in good health. But like a lot of us following this course I don’t have the time neither the money to enjoy life other than work and pay bills. I believe this is possible and I know is real. I just want to have the time and enough money to say I’m financially independent. Having close to a year trying to find the formula or learn what system to follow it’s been hard. But I’m still believing!
I believe I can create an info product and a system behind it, integrating affiliate marketing and repeat again and again until that place called success don’t hide from my eyes anymore.
My goal is to reach financial independence not just to enjoy it with my family but to be part of situations helping others in where either the time or the money are not an obstacle or a concern.
Thanks brother!

DESIRE AND VISION GO HAND IN HAND. THEY PRODUCE HOPE - THE DRIVING FORCE OF EVERY LIVING HUMAN.
My vision is to have a beautiful house w/my family to enjoy and financial capacity to sustain it.A $120,000 residual income a year probably be a good start.
Wow this is my first ever comment on a website, and I like to thank you Eric and the Lord, for the wonderful gifts of knowledge you have given everyone.
I am a fitness centre owner and my vision is to turn my existing websites into - continual streams of income, which will take me from being a self-employed business owner into a real business owner. When I am a real business owner I will furfill my biggest visions (in this order)1) Fitness finace company need $2M start up capital.
2)My Ultimate Fitness Centre $28M to establish 3)Franchise my fitness centre modle. 4) Fitness Resort developements-$20M to build the first. I want to take on Australias biggest chain of gyms - Fitnessfirst!2003 I had a vision of owning my own fitness centre - now I want to take on the big guns in the industry.
My vision also extends into the entertainment/performance and education industry.
I will be house sitting a million dollar house in the start of 2009 - I have a vision of owning this house in a year!!!!
Big visions, big dreams, big THANK YOU to ERIC’s TIPs!!!!!!
My vision revolves around my wife. I married a lady from the Philippines in August of 2006 - about two and a half years ago. All this time I have been trying to get her here to the States. On one of the last hurdles of the immigration process we ran into a snag, that we cannot come up with the documentation from over 15 years ago that would qualify her to submit an application for a Good Conduct Certificate to the Kingdom of Bahrain where she worked for 6 years. You see, most of the people of the Philippines try to get jobs outside the Phil because the pay is so low there and the availability of descent jobs is scarce. Lacking the Good Conduct Certificate the US NVC, which has total discression in the matter will not provide her with a visa.
Initially, My vision is to make atleast $100.00per day in my new profession of an internet marketing, move to the Phil to be with my wife and ultimately establish a multi-million $ business there, provide training and work for hundreds of people in the Philippines, give the people there some hope of a good life in their own country, and as well instill and/or support the already strong family ties to farming and those more needy of the Father’s children.
Blessings in truth,
Dave
Eric, thank you for taking the time to create the videos and make
them available. The lessons are a valuable shortcut to learning the
arcane nuances of internet marketing.
My vision is to market a series of informational products based
upon 40 years of business experience.

My vision is to enjoy frogs eating, and eats thos suckers continuously all of the time, and so much so, that I’ll shortly become really successfull and productive, Having my success with me growing along with my “frogs eating”, I’ll do my best, be my best, and go for the highest high reward possibly possible in the world - that’s why I’ll become multiMillionaire in the next one-two years. and have an explosive growth upward, I’ll allways be in controll and in a piece of mind because I know that I work By the numbers, and because I’ve get the priveledge to be taught by the BEST TEACHERS available in the world, which comes to me fluently by the LAW OF ATTRACTION I’m send to work.
In the next few years I’ll be set for life and find out the next much significant goal to have, and go achieve it while im still young. I’ll direct my family members to follow my path, I’ll live the lifestyle of an millionaire, with the mindset of a rocker: have fun with people more frequently, eat great healthy food, gain a killer muscles, travel with girlfirend or friends, Find myself someone who I’ll personally donate money to which is need it the most and give him a spirituall coaching, massages every week, GO CHASING AFTER VARIETY - not for nothing they said variety is the spice of life- it’s certainly true, spend ju-jitsu time practicing and competing, more outdoors wenting for pleasure, and more ways I’ll find to enjoy myself.
Not only that, I’ll be in touch with the greatest high risk investers and business owners working with them, achieving even greater things.
And for sum up, I’ll have an unfinished pleasurable todo’s, that right before I’m done living and right before I’ll go under ground I’ll say: thank you, I’ve done it’s all.
Eric,
My vision is to be debt free so my wife can quit work and then we’ll have time and funds to go on vacations and really enjoy our golden years.
My vision is to have a successful online business that will enable me to invest in real estate. With the income from the business and the reale estate, I want to have an income of over a million dollars a year. I have four grandchildren that I want to help them pay for their college educaion so that they can start life debt free. I want to have a home on some acreage that I will own with no debts. Then I will buy a second home, possibly a condominium, so I will have a place to stay when visiting the Denver area where one of my daughters lives with her two children. I want to be able to live with no financial fears and be able to travel whenever I wish to do so.
I must confessed that, this lesson has made a great impact on my business. Thanks and may God bless you.
Dear Eric,
If you are still reading and keeping up with your readers posts, I hope you have time one day, to read this one…(it’s my first post).
Eric, there are not enough words to express how much I appreciate you for freely sharing this valuable information on how to make money online….without all the hype.
You’ve given me inspiration to keep believing in my dream….my vision. Thank you Eric. I had almost given up on this internet stuff, until I found you just a couple days ago, and began learning to do it the right way.
I’m one of those that bought into “The Dream They Sold Me”….Alex Jeffreys called it: “The Gurus Dream”.
For over two years I’ve been lost in that maze of “HYPE”…buying so many programs and systems it nearly ruined me financially. The time wasted….the days I wanted to pull my hair out…and all that nonsense the Gurus filled me with!
You my friend are a breath of fresh air. The pieces of the puzzle are coming together, thanks to you! I no longer have that victim mentality! Thank God!
Finally, I cross paths with a genuine and honest person that truly cares what it’s all about….helping others help themselves.
My Vision:
Never to believe another word of hype again!
Always keep my eyes wide open.
Have a discerning heart.
Learn and apply each lesson taught.
Share and give freely with integrity.
Accept the things I cannot change.
Aquire the wisdom to know the difference.
Have fun each day, no matter what.
Smile a lot and share smiles with strangers.
Make a list but make it short and sweet.
Love and live the Golden Rule.
My vision is one of eternity. The material things we have here while we live our journey in life are only temporary. We cannot take these material things with us after this body dies.
But, we can leave a legacy for our loved ones.
After all, isn’t that why we want to prosper? To help not only ourselves….but our loved ones. And the people around us…as well as those who may never even have a chance in life….unless we help them?
So, my vision includes working hard building an empire of realestate online…that keeps spreading billions of dollars world wide…raising up a new generation of people who have a heart to give.
Making other peoples dreams come true.
There is no better feeling in life, than giving. It is the key to life…here in this world now…moment by moment… and into eternity!
God Bless You All!
My vision is a composite of several broad goals.
First, to become financially independent. Specifically, to earn a profit of over $500 thousand in the first year as an Affiliate Marketer. Then to earn a profit in excess of $1 million in year 2 and thereafter, thru niche businesses that will be nearly self sustaining.
Second, to build an Internet Marketing business that I can pass on to my children as a source of supplemental or primary income.
Third, to help others achieve financial freedom thru what I have learned in Internet Marketing; to teach others the techniques to help them succeed.
And fourth, to enjoy more time with my family and have and a chance to travel the world and enjoy life to its fullest.
My vision is to have a multi-million $ internet business. Sell my window cleaning business within 2 years for $150K-$200K. Own a successfull vegetarian restaurant and all I have to focus on is the marketing. Spend quality time with my love ones. Discover other cultures by travelling all over the world. And truly being a LIGHT for others to find their LIGHT. And last, but certainly not least, have ALOT of FUN!
my vision for the future is to have a million in the bank in 3 years
I will invent and put together a social webservice that will inspire people to do good. It will be a catalyst that will generate whole new income streams for welfare and charity organizations. It will be good enough to have imitators, but not until I have sold the model to the biggest welfare organizations in the world.
As a person I will inspire others as someone who has had big adversities in life and still made a big success of herself.
I will have hundreds of people who are personally grateful to me for their income or inspiration.
I will have income from my business that can sustain my health and comfortable, relaxed lifestyle wherever I choose to live. I am able to save 90% of my income, if I want, and I am debt-free. I will only have to work 30 hours per week, and I enjoy my work very much.
I will hold this vision and appreciate myself enough to keep it clear and develop it.
The big plan: To create a Health Care system for the USA and then World. Health Care, not sickness care. I have the product, the desire and the idea, I just need the capitol and legal foundation. I want to give 90% of my income to Gods Kingdom- Missions, Support, Water, Supplements for Health, Create a Foundation for “at home moms”, Support Home Schoolers via HSLDA, make a movie and travel the world. Plus be healthy-Mental, Physical and Spiritually, and walking in His Spirit being led by Jesus.
My vision is to have a business where I can set my own hours and make at least a million dollars a year with my websites mostly running on auto-pilot.It’s to have the products that a lot of us need and want in this distressed economy of ours.
Hello,
My vision is to become a happy and heatlhy bilionaire entrepreneur, enjoying freedom, work, vacation and family life.
Hi,
I have just completed lesson13 - vision, this one really gets you thinking, well here goes.
My vision is to be able to give up my day job for good and do what I love to do, which is work from home on my computer, where I can spend more time at home with my family and my dog and live in an English farmhouse in the country and not forgetting my passion which is downhill skiing, I want to try all the great resorts around the globe, Aspen, Kyoto and Banff and do it all knowing that I can really afford it, and to do this a salary of £500,000PA would be required. I will do this, I will do this!
The ElectronicDrumCircle is a world-wide organization of drummers and people who want to connect with each other. EDC operates online and in groups around the world. Participants can connect with other groups through our advanced communication website which is also designed for small online groups and live online drum lessons. The online Drum Circle system and Drum Training systems will work seemlessly together, so members can find a lesson or drum circle online almost any hour of the day or night! My system’s ultimate goal is to bring us all together as the drummers we inherently are… To drum together for all of our well-being… To move into the future with happiness toward life and each other… To Co-Create the Atmosphere People Want To Come Back To! Within 5 years, an EDC event will celebrate with 1,000,000 people at a single online event!
My vision for my online business and my life goes something like this. I want to start my online business with affiliate marketing to get some income coming in. Then I want to start selling information about my true passion which is music. Anything music related to help other musician reach their goals. I want to make one million dollars in my first year so that I can be debt free and give my family the security and freedom we deserve. I want this to be my muse to allow me to play with my band and use the tools I will be selling as first hand accounts of how they work. I want to also use the freedom of owning my own business to take my family on trips and to tour the world with my band.
[…] Tips for awhile, you might know I’ve written about VISION on several occasions (See Lesson #13). About 10 years ago, I got a vision for my online business. That vision has been modified and […]
Hi Eric
Thanks as always for the tremendous amount of useful info you give to the world.
My vision is severalfold :
I own a franchise for a very reputable web development/internet marketing firm in the UK.
My efforts to make a success of it in the real world using old methods such as f2f networking etc have met with limited success thus far.
So my first goal is to market that business more effectively using the very tools I advocate to potential b2b customers. I would like to create a simpler site with more effective landing pages with some of the products repackaged and leverage it that way.
Ultimately I want to become the “go to” guy for IM in my local area.
Secondly I want to set up at least 2 and possibly more review type sites for areas of interest (probably poker and personal development) which I’ll monetise by creating my own products and/or affilates. Again I’m not looking to make a fast buck (or pound!) but build a long-term ‘authority’ type site such as this one right here !
Lastly, I feel strongly that if done correctly and with discipline and patience that the traffic/in demand products/clickbank model can bring me a good income over time. The growth of web users worldwide certainly isn’t diminishing and with the advent of better technology it will become even easier to find, choose, try out and compare products in time - this is where I want to be.
So there are 3 streams if you like :
- Local guru (eventually)
- Hobby sites which turn into monetised “authority centres”.
- Proper IM business to make cash.
Thanks for reading.
Oh, and I know the value of visualising so in 9 years time on my 50th birthday I will have 3 houses including one that sits on a cliff and has a massive glass front overlooking the sea, so my wife and child can look at the view.
I’ll be driving a dark Green Posrche 911, and she will have a DB9. I’ll also have more than enough cash to travel the world playing in poker tournaments when I so desire.
Cheers, Andrew
I thank u for your effort and I wish I could be an expert like you. I want to know how to market my product on the net. If you could assist me please do it for me. Thanks and God Bless you. More years for you. Drink Ionized Alkaline Antioxidant and Micro Clustered water for longevity.
Bye
Hi Eric. My vision is earning a millon dollars a year, affording a nice house here in Argentina where I live, buying the car I really LIKE and not the on I COULD buy. Travelling one or two times a year for visiting my family in USA, and inviting all of them to go on cruises and all kind of trips together, all at my charge. And building a solid future for my children and for myself for when I decide i´m not working any more because I´m too old or whatever.
Hi all,
My vision for my online business is for it to create a stream of semi passive cash flow which will in turn fund my invesments in shares and property.
The big picture, as I’m sure it is for a lot of people, is one of freedom of choice - the choice to work/not work as i see fit, choice to help friends and family if need be, choice to do with my time exactly as i please.
Good luck to you all, cheers.
My vision is to finally be able to go go to the store and not take the calculator to see if my wife and I can buy it, as far as vacations, in the last 65 years is when a company went on strike but still had to get a part time job, so vacations have no meanings at all except a waste of money. That comes from having to scrimp so you can take care of your family.
As far as a web site that comes next month if the money is there, no money, slow advancement, but plugging away for the last 6 months.
They say you can start with as little as $5, what can you buy with that, because if you let any one know you have it, your rent, fuel, food, and you can’t for get insurance all go up $10 to get that $5, if you don’t believe me look at all the people losing their homes, their property taxes going up on them.

I have several ideas for an online business or businesses…this part of my vision needs further research and focus but pulling up to that bird’s eye view my online business will allow me unlimited opportunity for personal creative expression as a business consultant helping others to build their visions and success (this includes maximizing our exsisting mobile medical services business and helping my husband building a successful freestyle wrestling club/business) Not as a guru but more as a roll up your sleeves advisor and resource. This business/es will provide me a lifestyle in which I am able to spend time with my family engaged in our sports, art, and music activities. The income will allow us to build a well known and successful wrestling club…to travel and enjoy the ability to eat out whenever we want to!!! Like the old California lottery commercials used to say, I want to be able to “…afford all this cheese!”
Carol, you have a big heart. The way will come to you when you least expect it. Stay with your dream in mind. These people need people like you. Keep doing what you are doing. You never know whatcan happen when you put things on the internet. Someone might read this and be in a place to help you. Good luck to you and those you are trying to help. May you be blessed for what you are doing. Have a great day.
Dan and Deanna “Marketing Unscrambled”

Dan and Deanna”Marketing Unscrambled”
We wrote down our vision. It is quite long for here. Thank you Eric for helping us to get it down on paper and for all the others that have written. They have been wonderful to read. These are a few of the things that we have:
1. To have up to 6 income streams 2.To have $7,000 a month from each of them. 3. To grow 1% each year. 4. For the income streams that have redisual $7,000 a month from each of them. With the same 1% increase each year. This is the short list. Thank you again.
Dan and Deanna “Marketing Unscrambled”

HI, I’m just getting started and don’t even have anything off the ground yet. But after listening to you and everyone posting here I feel energized and ready to go. I’m an older lesbian female with two boys and two granddaughters. I’ve worked hard all my life and I’m currently waiting for surgery on my back. I would like to establish a site for stay at home moms and crafters to display their creations. To offer an outlet to the little people who need exposure. I’d like to get away from back breaking minimum wage jobs and help support my family so my girlfriend doesn’t have to kill herself. I see a bright future on the internet I really wanna be part of it. I’d also like to offer a positive environment for people who need a little hand up, (much like you are doing). I’m still in the planning stages and a little unsure of myself but you guys are giving me the push I need. Thank you so much for listening to me!
My vision is to learn everything I can about internet marketing and become an expert such as yourself and to make a good living writing ebooks, creating videos, and teaching live online and offline classes about the internet and overall live in general, as mine has be somewhat unique in many ways and I believe I have many experiences that can help younger people to be a better person and have a better live.
I have already earned from $1,500 to $3,000 per day from an email list of well over 150,000 and that was before 9/11. I have sold advertising in publications all the way up to and including USA Today. I have averaged selling one credit card merchant account a day online and received calls from Visa and MasterCard attorney’s and Vice Presidents to see if what I was doing was legitimate or not and it was I assure you, but I still have the dream of teaching others how to earn online and have what they want, much like yourself, of which is what brought me to your lessons session. It is now about 1:30 am and I am rarely online at that time at this point in my career, but am truely taken in by your video lessons and look forward to the day that I do the same and help people to learn how to earn on the internet.
I have been chosen from over 70,000 to give a speech to the California State Legislature, although today I do not live in California. At that time I have worked with a professional speech writer, and even made a video with a professional film crew for that same purpose, and it has always stuck with me about helping others to learn from my experiences and after I have learned everything that you have to offer, I am confident that I can now attain that dream Eric.
Thank you for your lessons, they are now helping me to establish a much clearer vision of what I truely want to do with the knowledge that I have, your are super!!!
Hi Eric,
I vision myself in 3 mos to be fully self-supporting through my own contributions! I mean being able to easily without stress to pay my bills, buy more Real Estate, to grow my online business! In 6mos. I want to have enough income to remodel my lady’s kitchen! And to show her that this online stuff is legit & profitable! By next Jan/Feb, I want to take a very nice long vacation back to Austalia! Finally, I want to be able to pass this business on to my Family!
Hi Eric
Not holding back, my ultimate vision (inspired by stories of ancient Cordoba) is to create a place where people of all religions and none can come together and share wisdom and healing. This would not just be a conceptual space (as on the internet) but also a physical place/s. It would be a massive extension and externalisation of what I currently provide through my website, made possible by working less hours while generating enough income to provide for my own needs and those of my family. The ocean and nature provide spiritual sustenance to me so I see myself living in a house where I can hear the sea and meditate in nature. The rest of my days would be committed to inspiring and uplifting others. I had set my income figure at £50,000 per year, which is a high figure in my family’s eyes but maybe I’m being a bit conservative.
Hi Eric!
I’ve been following you lessons right from #1 until now, and I can frankly say that today’s lesson is THE most important to-date and I might even say that of all future lessons also. Vission is by far the most important attribute one can possess. Without it, there is no future. But during a lifetime, certain occurance happens that blirs our vission for some time. That piriod of time maybe a few weeks, or it may last for years before you can finally refocuss your eforts on something wothwhile.
Let me tell you my storey(and please acept what I will be telling you as facts and not a complaint I simply wish to stand as an example of something that has happened to many other people)I’m am now an old man 75 yr. old last december in fact. I have no education (6th grade public school and and whatever else I could pick up on my own). I.ve been on my own since I was 15 years of age. That is because I lost my parents when I was 6yr. old so all I could do to earn my living is labor intenced work, and lots of hours. Never-the less I was determined very early on that I would biuld a life and a family) for myself. So I set out to do just that. I married when I was twenty six, had three children that at my wages could not afford to send to colledge, but raised them never-the-less, and now I’m the Grandfather of ten and greatgrandfather or one,and proud of it. By the time I was 55yr. old I had a house nearly paid for and I was in line for a good pension, along with savings that I had accumulated and some RSPs I was planning my retirement.Then came the (dirty)90s. 1990s that is.The bottom fell out of the economy here in Canada, and so did we. By “we” I mean all those of us who were considered to old to be of any use as an employee in a new type “CAREER” AND SO I NEVER GOT ANOTHER JOB TO THIS DAY. Before I could reach the age of retiement I had gone through my savings,my RSPs my “poggi” or UI, lost my house, my dreams and my VISSION WENT “pooff”
But I never lost my ambision. and I kept trying until one day it down on me that the only thing that would give any hope at all for the future was something with a computer. Of course, I new nothing about a computer, so I went to a store where one could be bought and ask the “nice man” “hOW DO YOU START ONE OF THOSE?”"AND HOW MUCH DO THEY COST?” I won’nt bore you with his answer. And so started my quest for my new career–I was 67yr. old then It was a long learning process and today I’m still working at making it work for me and my family. You see My boys are working 60-65HR week trying to survive. My dream now is to succeed at setting up an internet bisiness that I can leave to my family, My “VISSION” to leave a good web site besiness that will take care of my entire family when I leave this world. All I ask of God is to give me the time to do it before I leave this world.
Take it from an “OLD MAN” WITH ALL KIND OF EXPERIENCE except education,
WITHOUT HOPE AND VISSION “THERE IS NO PLACE TO GO IN THIS WORLD”
Hope I had, YOU Eric gave ME the VISSION I was looking for. Now (I think) I know where I’m going. Thanks a million from,
Wilf”the old man”Cormier
My vision is to break free from money worries and be able to help people with whom I relate do the same.
Eric, My vision for the future consists of (2)million + per year average income from a mixed variety of affilliate marketing,training seminars, several personal web businesses, and realestate investments. Two possible web businesses that I would like to start would be: #1 “Awesome Adventure Trips”,primarily because that’s the kind of things I always dreamed of doing. So I figured that while I was making contact and learning how to set up the business I would come across opportunities to actually do some of the things that I would be promoting. Which I could also start forums and blogs on my experiences and thus promote my “awesome adventure trips” business. #2 Some type of construction consulting business or training, or write do it yourself books on the subject. I want to somehow capitalize on over 30 years of many fields of construction mastery. I am very persistent but have some mountainous obstacles it seems keeping me from getting my first campaign going. Eric, I appreciate sincerely this helpful training you have been giving. I am looking forward to a much better future.—Dan
My vision is to have an online business that is related to my interests in: Curling; Military; Music; & Sailing; all while helping other people.
It would bring in a minimum of $250,000.00 per year, so that I could enjoy lots of free time to travel (especially on a World Cruise), helping out my family & friends, as well as allowing me to be very generous by supporting the Charities that I love.
Hi Eric, Since we have had our website up for almost a year now and not doing well. I have a vision of it growing into $1000.00 dollar a day in sales. This will allow my wife to quit her job. I am already retired from the Navy and getting social security. Then we could spend just a few hours with the on line business. We both love to fish and travel, so I see us going on fishing trips to other parts of the world.
Hi Eric,
Thanks for the passion to prepare all these great lessons in video. I’m a total newbie in online marketing. I don’t have a website (I don’t know how to built one!)
My vision is to built a successful online business to replace my E quadrant paycheck so that i can quit my job and be financially free.
Thanks.
My vision is to help 30,000 people save or sell their homes to avoid foreclosure over the next year. In the process I will establish a contact list of people in need of assistance, and investors and Realtors who can help them get through the process from among the people who buy or express interest in my foreclosure guides and other information products.
The direct earnings for myself from the online guidebook I have available now will be around $400,000, but 2 times that amount will be earned through back end products over the course of the next 18 months– teleconference courses, CDs from the teleconferences, and a lead generation business that matches people in need of help with people who can help them.
Within the next six months I will begin a similar process on the topic of helping people understand and deal with bankruptcy, and to help people deal with the interrelationship between bankruptcy and foreclosure. It is expected that the series of materials on this topic will also earn between $500,000 and $1 million in 2010/11.
From these earnings I intend to repay loans from family members and friends who have helped to get us through a rough time, and begin tithing our income again to charitable causes such as Rotary International Foundation, our church, Heifer Project, World Vision, and Habitat for Humanity, as well as local cultural organizations.
We also want to be able to secure education and begin a home ownership fund for our two young adult children and to offer them assistance in starting their own businesses. We will also repair our long neglected home and prepare it for sale so that we can move on with our personal lives from issues that have beset us for the past couple of years.
Since the real estate difficulties we have faced personally have drained us of our retirement funds we must also dedicate at least $200,000 per year into safe and balanced retirement investments so 5 years from now we can slow down the pace a bit and do more travel.
a Runner! I’m hooked now. I always like your videos but now we have a common bond. Do you still run? I’ve been running since 1979 and no injuries. Vision? Thanks Eric….I’ve done many great music gigs but never had a vision for it. Great exercise and wise too. What were your track interval workouts? Hopefully you still run!
I still run… but not as often and much more casual now. I did all sorts of intervals back in the day. Lots of 200 repeats, in and outs, even mile repeats.
Eric
This is not easy for me. Normally I am very private and to tell people a personal vision is a painful stretch. Would like to be able to afford a good doctor for my daughter. She is a wonderful celloist and is very ill. Would like to see her be herself again, strong and well. Would like to build multiple streams of income, health and wellness for ovbvious reasons, information on how to become an internet marketer, it is daunting just to know where to begin. Would also like personal development to be in there as well. Do not want to set a dollar amount. If it is too low then it would not be challenging enough. Always liked helping people, do not want to sound cliche, but starting a foundation would be interesting.
Eric, my vision is to build a successful online and offline business centered around helping single adults to achieve personal, relational, financial and security success in their lives. By making it possible for them to succeed, I will also achieve my goal of bringing in more than $1 million per year in annual income.
This will allow me the personal and financial freedom to help my family and friends and to live a fuller and richer life.
As a retiree curently living off of my diminishing assets I need to create income sufficient to cover my living expenses and some recreational events.I will select an on-line business(es) which is capable of generating $100,000 per annum positive cash flow.
I want a million dollar a year business. I want to inspire people to believe in themselves and dream.
Hi Eric,
My vision Would not be uncommon from the majority and that is to have a very big subscriber list that would buy the products that I introduce to them via email so as I have a relativly passive income, so as I am able to do the things offline that I want to do and not have to worry about paying the next bill. A prety common goal I think you would agree.
As an income I would like to achieve £60,000 per year.
Eric - my vision is:
Develop the knowledge and experience to generate as much income as I want to meet my needs and to help others; to be completely debt free; to free up time to pursue service opportunities, personal interests, education, or acquisition of new skills; to identify and provide opportunities for people who are less capable of holding a job, or making enough money to be self-sufficient; to teach what I learn.
My vision is to set up an online business that allows me to quit my job which I work way too many hours at, and work on my laptop anywhere in the world while I travel with my girlfriend. I will spend time working on aid projects, while my internet business generates enough revenue to sustain my lifestyle and provide financial security for me and my family with a total passive revenue stream of £500k to £1 million pa.
Hello Eric,
My vision is to create a large online business that will employ hundreds of employees from my wife’s country of the Philippines.I want to create time and financial freedom for myself and my family.I want to create multiple offline businesses as well in the philippines that I will create from my online business income. The filipino people are respectful,friendly and are in need of opportunities that I plan to create.I already have two employees with hundreds more to go.I hope your tips will help me in some way achieve my goals.I have been learning and studying internet marketing since sept 08 so I could use all the tips I can get.
Eric,
My vision should be fairly easy to communicate since I have been formulating it, in detail in my mind, for roughly four years.
I have been doing a considerable amount of research on Internet Marketing for three and a half to four years. It has been research only, since my wife and I had been totally consumed both mentally and physically for about the same amount of time with a failing business. We owned a fifty-employee manufacturing facility.
We had put everything we had saved for retirement into this endeavor. Three years ago we were pretty much forced into investing in a new finishing facility to market a new product that our regional dealer-base needed. The cost of the plant and automated equipment was a little over a million dollars. We took the plunge, went into debt a little deeper and just when we had everything completed, the bottom fell out of the US housing market. We ended up in a situation where we were fortunate to get out with the clothes-on-our-backs.
We are still dealing with a few “loose ends” with the final closure, but as of October of this year we were finished with the plant and most of the associated “headaches”. Now, I’m at the point of not looking back and only looking forward to an unbelievable future in Internet marketing.
I’ve done enough research to know that there is a tremendous opportunity in I.M. but it will also require a lot of hard work, but I am very tenacious (maybe to a fault) and a hard worker (definitely to a fault, ask my wife). I’m not moved or impressed with the “get-rich-quick-over-night”, “gifting”, and “scams” crowd. These are the folks that, I fear, make it tough on the legitimate Internet Marketers.
My specific goal, in order of importance, is to replace my wife’s income so that I can bring her home. She is an administrative assistant for a major US corporation. I am looking forward to the time when she will be able to apply her skills and talents to our business in our home office. To bring her home our internet marketing endeavor must (and will) be generating approximately $3,800 to $4,000 per week in net sales. This first goal is to stabilize everything and should be attained in nine to twelve months.
The next phase will be our “enjoying life stage” where we will push the business to provide $500,000 per year; this will be accomplished in less than twenty-four months. We will continue to grow the business, possibly bringing in one part-time associate when we hit the million per year mark.
The above vision will provide a comfortable lifestyle as well as providing funds for extra giving in the forms of a yearly scholarship to a needy student as well as other giving to church and community. Finally, on a more selfish note, it will provide funds for much needed and neglected vacations for my wife and me.
Eric, thanks for all of the heart felt concern and honest advice you show all of your followers. I am amazed at how a young man such as yourself has amassed such wisdom. I am looking forward to more of the same and will thank you in advance for helping me and my wife attain our goals.
Gary
Hi Eric,
Well my vision begins with the internet where I have created multiple streams of income from various sources. Which leads up to my 3 ultimate goals which are 1-Having a non profit business where I put Blind and visually impaired individuals to work. Helping them so they have higher self asteem and self worth. 2-Getting my poetry published 3-Bringing my inventions to the public
And it all doesn’t stop there. I would also create and open clinics to help drug addicts fight their addictions using methods that I have designed instead of conventional methods that I see way to often fail.And these are just a small sample of my visions. If I continue on naming them I could probably go on forever.
Thanks Eric for your incedible insight and lessons. I know that you have given me greater hope for my future success and I am forever indebted to you.
Thanks again
Hi eric,
Me and my wife work in retail stores, to many hours a week including weekends. My vision is to work as a marketer, helping people to do the same, I wanna create a website with a lot of good information can every body take advantage off it, i wanna work for my self spend time with my family, travel, meet the world, help peolple, help my family to start their own business…
I wanna be free in mind and spirit and peace in my heart and transmit this feeling to every one
You Hit It right on this lesson.Eric.After failing at two off line businesses,a total of about 18 years,I felt like a total failure,and have been thinking like one ever since.When I started internet marketing,about three years ago,It has been a failure,I wanted to quit, but internet marketing is really what I want to do.Starting out without a direction,or good information ,is a killer.I probably had a plan from other internet marketeers,but did not follow through with it.When I saw your course,I thought I probably know what your going to say,WRONG.So I knocked myself down a few notches,positived my attitude,and payed attention.I now see my basic problems ,I am working on the problems one at a time.I see right now,even if I’m not the greatest marketeer,I will be a happier person,knowing that I am not a failure
Howdy Eric,
My first goal is to pay more tithes and offerings. Also to be the best humble Stewart of the opportunities God gives me. Second would be to pay off our small gift store and all family debts we have. $70.000 in the next three months would be a good start. Our basic goal is to help as many folks as possible come to know and realize a pure personal relationship with CHRIST!!!. We are look to travel and experience God’s great beautiful planet first hand.
Vision is the corner stone of our faith!!!
Wow! You certainly have a way to get the mind ticking over. Thanx Eric.
My vision is to have a successful online biz up and running on $500,000+ per year within 24 months.
More than living the wonderful lifestyle that this would allow me, I can prove to my kids and friends, that I CAN DO IT … Hey! What the hell - I AM DOING IT!
Another really awesome advantage that financial freedom and job satisfaction would give me, is the ability to give generously to charities - A dream that becomes more important to me as I get older.
Working my biz on the internet, having time and money to live freely and comfortably with the people I love, and having some spare cash to share with others … NOW THATS LIVING!
Hi Eric,
I’m an absolute newbie to the internet world full stop,I’ve listend to arbitragers and the like and the way they explain thier scams to me is very complex and unprofessional,i’ve searched round a few sites as you can imagine till i come across yours and what a difference its crisp and clear which is what i like, i’ve had my goals set for sometime now from january 1st 2009 is the start date of my 5 year plan offline i have 2 small businesses of which i intend my daughter to take on the responsabilaties when she finishes her training sometime in 2010 failing that the businesses will be sold.Online my intensions are to have a successfull business and within 3months start to loosen the raines on my offline businesses i will be 46 in june 09 and i want to spend more time doing the things that mean something to me than be too tierd and unable.When i was born my perents were told i would never walk i did walk,i played pro-football till i was 26 retired due to injury so basicaly i have the determination to do anything i desire if you want something bad enough your going to get it.
my vision is to earn enough money to retire comfortably and be debt free and help my friends and family and finally be the person that I know i am. I dont care how many hours a week it takes. I need this venture to be successful. I am anxious to get started, but I
need to learn so much more. I don’t even know how to copy and paste yet!!
My vision is to not work so much at my job. I have been a hard worker for over 20 years. Holding down 2 jobs to support my wife and 2 sons. I am a machinist and enjoy working with my hands. I recently divorced and remarried a dear sweet lady from China whom I met online. My dream(and hers) is to live in upstate NY in the summer and live in China in the winter. I would like to start my online business venture as an affiliate marketer while searching and researching a niche market where I can create my own information product. I’ve never been good with money so I’d like to learn to be better at making it and through my efforts I would like to make $5,000,000 per year as an internet marketer.
Thanks for listening
Eric you have been so great with all the info, I started a small business offline 6 months ago. I have always been involved with the fitness and wellnes genre. I became a wellness consultant and distributor of fine herbal products. My entire family has benifited and lost a total of 100lbs for the three of us . I feel that I with the new found program I could help so many more people with there weight struggles. This is my goal to help as many as I can.
My vision is to become successful at internet marketing, make 1 million dollars a year, have many websites and create my own products that help people improve their life and give them hope.
My vision is become very successful at iterteret marketing,to earn 500.000 a year or more, to have the financial freedom that we all dream about. To be able to focus more on my family, friends and music(guitar work) which is my passion, to be able to help others in whatever way possible. To be able to set my own schedule. To be successful and supportive on my journey forward.
My vision is to run an internet business that centers around my knowledge and love of dogs. I have started an e-book and want to make $500,000.00 per year. I want to provide information and products to interested pet owners. I want to travel several times a year and have the freedom to spend more time with my family and loved ones. I want to share my vision of how anything is possible through the power of prayer and faith.
My vision is to retire from my job within 2 years so that I can do some of the things I am interested in. Very simple things…like wine making, candle and soap making, gourmet cooking, decorating, writing, vacations… most of which I am not able to do now. I approaching 59 years old but I am widowed and have a 16 year old to raise.
My vision is to sit at the computer and enjoy seeing money come into my bank account from my affiliate earnings. I will be debt free. I will be an expert who shares her knowledge with others so they can earn and be debt free. Yah!
Hi Eric,
My vision is to interact with people much the way I do on my present job, only having the choice to pursue continuing relationships with some of them and to release others (those with whom I have no positive connection).
In addition, I would like to be able to communicate with people both through written communications and one-on-one conversations.
My vision includes making more money than I have ever made before — enough to live comfortably and to have some left over for investment, for giving directly to those in need and to give to institutions that have a track record of effectively helping people.
Making more money would demonstrate the social value of my efforts (the scorecard). Asking for wisdom in using that money would keep me from believing that “I did it all myself”.
When I have been sick and recovered, I have been grateful, but the “win” never made me arrogant. I have to admit to some fear that financial success would make me too proud.
That’s another area where you are a particularly good role model. You seem to be very unassuming, even if you are very wealthy. An obstacle for my striving for positive change has always been my dislike of the strutting and preening of the very successful.
I want to be both successful and “normal”, if that makes sense.
Hi Eric:
Back in the mid 90s I was on my way back home from a long stay out in California. I had driven out there but due to unforeseen circumstances, I had to travel by way of public transport back to Florida. During a rest stop in Mexicali I think…I went to the ladies room….while washing my hands I heard a noise and looked up to see what could only be termed as a “bag Lady” come in to the place and go to a sink and attempt to give her self a bath….this was so heart breaking to witness…she had a shopping cart filled with all sorts of odd items that were important to her but what struck me the most was she was so unkept in her appearance….my mind went to wondering…who is she?…does she have family?….why would her love ones allow her to live in these horrible conditions?…That was the turning point for me….I have a fear….I never want to end up like that! I want to be in charge of my own destiny to make as much income to provide for my children and myself! I want to open a shelter to help others who are in need. These would be the top two most important priorities to me I think. My other desires are travel, nice big girl toys…Jewelry, fine art and what nots. I just can not get that picture of her out of my mind after all these years….that is why I strive to work towards building a successful business and not have to ever find myself living on the streets as a “baglady”……
Hi Eric:

growth and building my business practices to be able to invest and help others.
My vision is to own a successful online business providing entertainment for young people. I want to succesed and quit working except online and enjoy the rest of my life.

Visions are the most important thing for someone to work for, thrive on, and without vision you pretty much won’t go far. Maybe that’s what some people want. Not me, I’m nearing 50 yrs. old and I am sick of working my tail off for peanuts,my new vision is to get my online business rockin’ and rollin’ so I can make a good living and enjoy my prime years.
Sincerely;
D.T.

My vision is to have an successful online business that where I can earn at least $100,000 monthly to provide for my 7 children and live comfortably with travel and leisure. I want my children to have the best education and most importantly I want to make a difference in the lives of the sufferers of urban communities, especially in the public school systems.
Hi Eric, first of all I’d like to say thank you for the free lessons and this is something God had been showing me in His Word - Vision. So here it is, building an email list of 7,000 people, multiple income streams on and offline each one generating £30,000 per month, working 15 hours a week, totally debt free, investing profit wisely and gaining assets.
Be blessed always,
S.H.
My vision is to have an online business that earns at least $15,000 per month. Some of the money would go to our church. My husband and I would pay all our outstanding bills and put money away for our children for college. After the bills are paid, we would invest a portion of the money into real estate. My family and I would go on mission trips and sponsor other missionaries. We would be able to help out people in need and I would be able to continue to drop off and pick up my children from school everyday. We would be able to go on several international and domestic vacations every year.
My vision is to make huge sums of money, of which I want to ,in addition to improving my family’s living standards,put aside a large amount in order to sponsor many children’s education. I quit a very well-paying banker’s job eight years ago and I remember fondly those days when I used to send a monthly contribution to an Orphanage. I want to relive those days with better prospects to live life to the fullest.I also want to relieve my husband from the burden of taking care of the family single-handedly. I have the confidence to do this Eric,with your wonderful course. Thanks a lot, Eric.
my vision :

I vision prosperity, $400K a year is enough, and a foundation to help yuouth be successful, with a foundation income of 1 million yearly. I lteach and empower the youth programs bringing leaders and innovatiors of all ages to be partners. WE make a difference locally and nationally.
My vision is to get up early every morning and exercise before taking my kids to school. I would then work on my internet business from my home until it was time to pick the kids up from school and be done working until the next day. With a long lunch in the middle, this means working a 4 hour day. I’d like to profit about $2000/day.
Hi Eric.
Thanks for your tips. My vision becoming a successful online entrepreneur to achieve a higher degree of comfort for my family instead of wondering can we afford to do things families should be doing together. I envision multiple income streams of income to also contribute to local charities and to homeless folk. Debt free is where I want to be. I always work hard but don`t always think smart and because of that I missed out on much of my sons life, and I pray that I can regain some of that time I lost with him. Once again thank you Eric for your tips.
MY VISION
To build my websites with multiple streams of income, so that I have an annual income of $1 Million + to enable me to become debt free and be able to help worthy causes like, the Australian bushfire appeal, the wheelchair project in America, Dr Robert Schuller’s world wide non-denominational religious programme in America, the Red Cross and Salvation Army. I also want to help people with information on a non – drug treatment for cancer. I would like to be able to take some time off to complete a book that I am writing – to be sold on and off line.
Thankyou Eric for all your kind and helpful
tips. Kind Regards
Bob Hall.

Thank you for the lessons the are a life saver for me. My vision at the moment is to be a successful affiliate marketer in the beginning. Be able to get myself out of debt and help my family. Be able to go see my family when ever I wanted to. To be able to do what you are doing for people and help them with nothing but the feeling as an award.I want in the beginning 50,000 to 75,000 a yr. That will double my annual salary from my full time job in a grocery store.
thank you again for the lessons. Iam learning and know that I will get there one day.
Dear Eric,I live in England and have a Thai wife,I had a successful business but was robbed of it by a devious partner.I feel that I have let my wife down.So my vision is to be so successful in my online business that(as I promised her before)we could go and live in Thailand have a nice home not worry about finances again help the poorer people in the area live a life f fulfilment,look after her family as well as my own and carry on running my business in paradise.
Eric Thank You for the Lessons and Tips… I want to pay for all of my kids college and education and be financially capable of helping them. Retire with a residual income of over $1 million per year and help other people to achieve their goals in life. To have the spare time to do the missionary work that God has put in my heart to do.God Bless”
These is great info Eric. I really want to become a successful affilliate marketer to begin with. I first tried it out through a company, but have been limited by very limited administrative freedom with my website. I want to create my own website at this point and try a fresh start at doing it right. I see myself learning and growing this over time and refuse to put a limit on what I may achieve.
My vision is to have a successful online business that nets two million dollars a year. I will quit my job and have more time to spend with my family. I will eliminate all of my debt. I will renovate my house and hire a house cleaner to come in twice a week. I will be able to work around my hours and be able to travel as often as I like. I will teach my children how to work online successfully so they too can have the freedom to reach their goals and pursue their passions. I will be able to donate not only more money but more time to the charities I am already involved with as well as new causes that I am moved by.
I want to build a successful online business to over one million dollars per year. This will allow me to help finish our new church that is about half finished.
Hi Eric,
My vision is to create a successful online business involving how to information concerning Real Estate. The business will be on automatic responders and will generate over $100,000 per month. My family and I will travel and take wonderful vacations. We will invite others that they maybe inspired to look at being involved in internet marketing. I’ll give a percentage to my church and give back to the community, and other needed services. I don’t want this to be all about me and my family, but also to help other reach their dreams and goals.
My vision is create an online business which will generate three million dollars per year and be as completely automated as possible. This will help me to pursue other things in life that matter to me without having to worry about money. I shall teach others to do this and help those who are less fortunate.
Fulfilling my personal dreams would include an expansive list of FREEDOMS for my heart and soul! I will establish these freedoms from a large open parcel of land from which I can view majestic mountain peeks. I will be surrounded by family and friends, who love me. I will have the financial resources to remove all barriers and constraints to all my dreams. I will have the freedom of time to support my spiritual needs and those of my community. I will commune with nature. I will travel. I will have the financial ability to support my extended family by paying for mortgages and college educations. I will support St. Jude Hospital. I will support those who work to save endangered species and our planet. And…
By the way Eric, I entered a lense in Squidoo about you yesterday. Do you live in California? I hope I didn’t lie! Sandy
My vision is to be debt free im a single mother trying to raise my two children. Working in a nursing home. It is really hard living from paycheck to paycheck,i would love to make at least 500,000 a year so if my kids ever need something i can also be there for them.Thats the stress free life i would like to have. Gail
Hi Eric
My vision is to become debt fee with the exception of my house mortgage (for tax purposes). Also to put my 17yr old son through art school. All the while being able to keep staying at home to be there for both my sons in thier high school years. Also to be able to contribute to our household income to do more vacations (before they leave the nest!) as well as extra activities with the kids (my youngest son competes in team roping which requires several horses). After writting down my goals, I tried to put a dollar value to it. I need more money than I thought!!! So reaching high, as prescribed by you, and reaching realistically, I came up with this. I would like to strive for $10K a month within the next 6 months. Within the next year $20k-50k a month. In one year see where I am and adjust. Hopefully to increase my monthly income goal. Unlike some people who want it all without putting in the time, I have the time and am willing to use it wisely. I thank you for all your encouragement in this online business venture.
I took a college course that spent a lot of time on the subject of personal vison. One class assignment was to write our own “epitath”
and to include our wildest imaginings of success between now and our death. So I feel as though I’ve done this one already…
Still I’m happy to “focus” my pathway on internet marketing as my the avenue for fulfilling my dream.
I now see: Unlimited potential to live at the top of my best expectations for monetary compensation and funds for reinvesting in products services and companies that will nurture and improve the lives of others, as well as my own family. I see:”green companies” I see: products that ease our stressful and anxiety prone lifestyles. I see: financial security through investment “services” for those reaching retirement in large numbers (boomers.) I see: all the way past the subject of a certain salary since I will need several million to make these dreams reach fruition….I’ll start with a goal of 4 million in a year and a half so I can diversify those resources in two areas…One to produce “faster income” by selling “what’s hot” and one to use those funds in less lucrative but still viable businesses that will truly improve our world ie: plastics recycling, electric vehicles, programs to improve the mental health of all in the education systems that now exist…etc.
We’ve all seen the successful stories of those who have made money beyond their largest expectations, ans suceeded at commiting to some of their most altruistic dreams.
I want to set a goal only a “miracle” could bring, because this world needs miracles….more than a few.
As John Lennon once wrote of the same mental state; “but I’m not the only one. I hope someday you’ll join us…”
Thank You for reminding me of the place that visualization exercise took me then, and where it can lead me now.
Sharon Shea
Eric, Thanks for your step by step process. I love it.
My vision is to develop an online business that centers around entrepreneurship and particularly solving energy and transportation problems in this country in the near future. Like solar energy for housing, electric or hydrogen for cars, and maglev trains for transportation.
I will develop a system that will bring me an income of $1 million over the next year. I will tithe to my local church, give to my family, and spend much time with them. Work less than 40 hours per week, and allow time for my relaxation and spiritual development. Possibly take some missionary trips to South America and Africa. Do some traveling, I have always wanted to go to Israel and Petra. I also have some other businesses I want to develop relating to sailboating, self-storage, and car rental.
Thanks again for your clear explanations and let’s get on with it.

Hi, Eric,
First, It seems like you are a great guy and I truly appreciate your lessons.
My short term goal is to get three websites up and running by July. The first two are retail outlets using dropshippers, and they are getting started now. The third is the one I will need your input with. I am a music teacher and I want to put up a series of bass line and percussion tracks for people of all ages to practice with. I need to figure out how to build a feedback system in. I also want to offer private lessons via web camera, Skype, I don’t know what yet and to sell percussion instruments on the site.
My long term goal is to be able to move into a specific ecovillage in Northern CA with my spiritual community (it is expensive). I want to be able to work from the community and have lots of time to volunteer for them. I also need money to travel freely.
My Vision is to not have to worry about trying to find a J.O.B, I was just laid-off from being an Animal Control Officer for 10yrs.
I hate looking for work…
I have a really big vision for myself and the planet! I’m a Chiropractor and also a DJ / Producer, strange or unusual combination I know… Well I’m in the process of building my online business where I am giving away my first book on the topic of wellness. As part of my strategy to build my email list. Anyway my vision is to have a health & wellness related product sold in all formats audio/visual/transcripts and the the premium level product being one on one coaching. The idea is to get as many people on the planet as healthy as possible because there are far too many millions of sick / unhealthy people out there and 99% of it is self-inflicted!
How does all this relate to DJ / Production? By helping people get healthy, I become wealthy is all areas of my life allowing me to meet mentors in high places in DJ land thereby propelling me to the top of the DJ Game… Simple really!
My vision is to forfill the vision gifted to me by my Lord. I must create a avenue where the life of his children (all of us) are seen and are view by us as a constant reminder that His will be done. That there will be valleys as we go, but in those valleys are diamonds and pearls that have been there before us and these are the steps that they took. Each one teach one. Our daily testimonies will give encouragement, even in our darkest hours, it will encourage those who have been going through what they believe is their darkness moments and know that there is a top to our valley, just one step and one day at a time. My vision is clear and I’m proud to be given the task. All prays will be greatly appreciated. This will be. Peace
My vision is to have a successful online business that nets my online business brings in an average of one million dollars per year.
Hello Eric and readers,
My vision is to share the unique way in which I quit smoking with other smokers. I ultimately plan to make a serious impact on long-term success rates, which are now unacceptably low. This work will also create a livelihood that will allow me to support my family and live comfortably doing what I truly love.
Jeff
Hi Eric,
Before I get into my vision I would like to thank you for giving me this opportunity to learn from a truly inspiring marketer. Your lessons are not all about hype on products you sell but about a holistic view of an online business. Thank you.
Now my vision:
I have for a long time wanted to have a business that my employees could call the best they ever worked at. My vision is not about how much money I can make but more about making enough to share with the people that help me do it every day.
I can now see the big picture of how an online business can do this. I will have multiple steams of income both passive and dynamic. These will include websites and courses to help people as well as to entertain and educate. The business will have made $100,000.00 by year’s end and $ 2,536,346.00/yr within five years.
This will allow me to let others run the business so I can focus on family and (this is the selfish part) my hobby.

Hi Eric,
Defining my vision has been a very encouraging exercise. I invision a website that will attract people with interests similar to mine (golf, yoga, gardening, working with senior citizens, spiritual guidance, health and fitness). I see my website haveing several pages for these different interests and links to blogs on some of these topics. And, ofcourse products that people with these interests would want to purchase. At this point, I feel I’m at the tip of the iceberg with a lot more to learn but I definitely have a vision of one day being in charge of the daily maintenance of this website and receiving feedback from happy, positive visitors along with a stream of income that allows me to debt-free, enjoying the people and things I love and giving to the charities and causes that are important to me.
My vision is to stash $10,000 into my “9-1-1″ account, faithfully pay my 10% to the Lord (plus whatever other meaningful donations I can make: like helping someone go on a mission that could not - were it not for the financial support of a faithful brother or sister of faith). I seek financial freedom: to do missionary work with my wife - anywhere in the world the Lord would have me serve. I seek the financial freedom to that will give me the time I desire to work at keeping my family together and strong, and, able to financially help whenever a need presented itself. I see philanthropy within that I wish to express. I envision an online social network website that will empower Indie artists to make a living with their gift, and, have a legitimate venue to attain fame and fortune. I see myself participating in a digital age where I will capitalize on the merging of internet with televion: which will soon become the eScreen (TM) - replacing television as we know it today. I envision a “open-source” collaborative portal that will compete with media moguls for a market share cinema (no longer referred to as the Silver Screen. eScreen will be the new BUZZ! Between now and then… I envision myself mimmicking my mentor (Eric Holmlund) to online marketing guru status by this time next year. I will follow his blueprint until I have tasted a modecum of success, after which I will begin to add my own twists - to build upon the foundation that Eric has given me. I don’t mention cash flow here because if I build using a proven blueprint, the money WILL come!
Eric, My vision sets me on top of the world,with no debt and the ability to provide educations and houses for my 2 daughters.Then My wife and I could travel the world. But most of all I want to be able to help less fortunate people.
My vision is to conquer the knowledge of advertising to the world to promote my primary business.
With that I see myself being one of the top marketers online and off.
Eric, my vision is to create enough online business so I can get out of debt, help my adult children with their debt and to at the least fix up my existing home. I see myself becoming independently wealthy, and helping my heartfelt charitable organiztions. I am trying my best, as this is all new to me. I am a disabiled professional who was forced out of my profession. My vision is to once again become a whole person, one who is useful, functional, and finacially healed. I amcurrently working on my first website.Wish me all the luck you have, and say a prayer for me. I am a firm believer in the power of prayer. Eric, thankyou for your help so far. Debbie
I am writing this before reading any of the others so I won’t be influenced. My vision is increasing my income to $10,000 a month by June 1st, 2009, and then increasing it by at least that amount each month for the rest of the year. My internet marketing income will come mainly from selling affiliate products. My other income will come from collecting on unpaid judgements, real estate rentals, and other real estate deals such as wholesaling and short sales. Beginning in 2010 I will produce my OWN products for internet marketing. These will include instructional videos & materials for learning mathematics and for healing techniques– specifically shamanic healing. I need to do these things before I get much older; I am 61 yrs. old and have three children and two grand-children–all who are struggling financially. My father helped us out when we were getting started and I want to help my children. Daughter is struggling actress, step-son with children just lost his drum shop business, and other son is doing ok in construction, but can’t cover his medical expenses and is in heavy debt. I want to get them to where they can be independant, as we have run out of funds to help them.
My vision has two overall components; Short & Long term.
Short Term Vision (3-6 mos)
Complete the steps necessary to develop and start my online business.
Reading marketing & sales books.
Continuing the learning process of these lessons and use the principles & techniques to build high traffic websites.

Verbalize, Vitalize, and Visual my goals daily.
Long Term (6 mos & beyond)
Generate a six figure monthly income.
Leave my current stressfull IT Mgr position Financially support my church with thousands of dollars monthly.
Be available to spend more time providing service(s) to my Pastor.
Pruchase a 6 bedroom, 4-5 bathroom, house w/a an inground swimming pool on a private lot, with fantastic views.
Develop real estate income.
Pay off all DEBTS.
Develop income throug Forex & Stock Markets.
Devote more time to studying the martial arts.
Prepare financially, socially, and spritually for marriage (currently single).
Become a lender not a borrower.
Finish my college education and attend seminary.
Travel & vacation outside of the US.
Support my mothers financially.
Be an inspiration to people and get opportunities to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ all over the world.
My vision is to quit work. Have financial wealth through residual income or constant product selling. Take more vacations, finally get the dream home I have wanted all my life. Tithe in my church and bless those less fortunate than I. In your video you spoke of many things I thought about. I belive I can become wealthy, I just didn’t know how. I think I will scream to know end once I receive the first check from my online business no matter how small or large it maybe. Because this has been something I have been trying to do for years with no success. I will follow your teachings to the letter and word for word. I want to succeed this time around. Thank you for your sincerety in starting from the basics and giving me an understanding fully of how the internet marketing is to work.
My vision is to be able to make at least $100,000 per year working at home. I plan to build an online business that will reach out to others and help them improve their lifestyle and personal image. I plan to retire in 5 years and travel with my husband to spend time with our children and grandchildren who are scattered from coast to coast. I plan to earn enough money to help build and stabilize the National Federation of Grandmother Clubs of America and donate to their charity, “Cure Childhood Cancer”.
My vision… to have an income from an online business which will allow me to be burden free of a very important part of life - financial. Then to be free to except a gift to help others around me, to share my gift of a free mind, to help others fulfill their vision.
Hey Eric,
My Vision is to build an online business that would give Me total financial freedom that I need to be in the position to help others gain freedom aswell. My online business to generate a revenue of Million Dollars a year from multi strimes of income.So I and my family can live a wonderful life in giving back to our community.
Hello Eric
This lesson on vision seems to be the best. You even sounded as a pastor on the altar. I am exited and drilled in my heart to make itin life. I have a very large vision on how I will use the internet to help mankind in my life time - THANKS.
Hi Eric,
It’s actually interesting that today of all days, would be the one that I listen to this particular lesson. For the last couple of months, I have allowed my employer to pummel me into submission over a back injury that has kept me from my regular bus driving duties. I have allowed this to drive me into a shallow depression, but somehow I am still driven to accomplish better things. There’s room here for a tremendous speech about negative motivation, but I think I will use it on my own site.
First, let me thank you for doing something I have had a vision of doing myself. Putting a simple perspective on internet business and making it a whole lot less intimidating for many new netrepreneurs.
Now on to my vision…
I have dreams of traveling with my wife and our golf equipment, just enjoying the things we want to do. We have a house in mind that we want set back in the woods on a decent property, and our business bringing in a healthy 20-30,000/month. To have the ability to help our friends and family in their hour of need. Something we can’t really do right now. I want to see Dreamorphosis Networks become a branded name, and I will make it so. The name itself is an acronym for a metamorphosis of your lifestyle. This is my vision for my family, and for anyone I help in this industry in the future.
HI ERIC!
SINDS LESSON #1 I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON MY VISION! BACK AT MY OLD JOB WE HAD A GUY GIVING US A SEMMINAR, AND HE TOLD US A PARABLE OF AN EAGLE THAT GREW UP WITH SOME CHICKENS.
WHEN SHE GREW UP, EVERYONE PASSING BY, ASKED HER WHAT SHE WAS DOING AMONG THOSE CHICKENS, SHE ANSWERS “I’M A CHICKEN”.
ONE DAY SOMEONE TOLD TO TAKE A BETTER LOOK TO HER SELF. SHE WAS TOLD TO SPREAD HER WINGS AND SEE HOW LARGE THEY WERE. SHE WAS TOLD THAT SCRATCHING IN GRASS AND GET SOME FOOD TROWN FOR HER IS NOT ALL THERE IS. THERE ARE MORE DELICIOUSE THINGS TO EAT AND MORE TO SEE.
SO SHE SPREAD HER WINGS! CATCHES THE WIND AND WENT UP IN THE AIR!
WOW! WHAT A SIGHT! NOW SHE HAD A BIGGER PICTURE! AND SHE COULD SORE ALL ABOUT AT HER DELITE!
NOW I TOOK THAT STEP, BUT TO HASTY, I LEFT MY JOB, ORDER A BUNCH OF STUFF AND LOST LITERARLY ALL MY MONEY, BUT I HAVE NO INTENTION TO GO PLAYING A CHICKEN AGAIN, I’M AN EAGLE, I WILL STAY IN THE HIGHTS UNTILL I CATCH THAT DELICIOUSE THING I’M WAITING FOR.
…….FREEDOM FOR ME AND MY RELATIVES…….
…….AND ANYONE ELSE THAT DESERVE MY HELP!
=======I’LL JUST GO GLOBAL…..GLOBAL!!!!!!!
Hi Eric,
I have tried or maybe should say attempted to start an online business a number of times with no avail.The problem was that I did not know where to start, what product or how to go about it. All I had was a desire which really led me nowhere. Now thanks to you I can at least learn how and what it takes to be an online marketer. This is something that I really want. I am in my 60’s and have worked for someone else all my life getting that little paycheck that was just enough to get by with. Since being layed off I have resolved my interest in getting online (this is make or break, come hell or high water time) Just getting the mind into being a marketer or reading those suggested books is a challenge. As I have worked outdoors or with my hands all my life and hated anything to do with sales or office or indoors. Getting the mind to think like a marketer will be the greatest obsticle. As for a vision this is another hard one because I don’t know what a vision really is or what I do want, except get online and make some money to be able to retire on and help my family with their debts. This will take some soul searching and a hard look at “WHAT DO I REALLY WANT”.
At least if I fail this time It will be because of me and no one else as You are teaching me how and it will only be because I have no vision or commitment to succeed.
Thanks Eric for the opportunity
Don
i want to be able to give my children the life they deserve,as well as my self. i do want to travel.in one of those large class A motor homes and see everything ,,,enjoy life …i am not a stranger to hard work..i enbrace it ,,,,i will succed …this is my vision……….
I’ve often been told to write my target down-THIS TIME I am doing it!
My target is to clear £150,000 in 1st year, double it the second year then have it grow exponentially, helping as many people as I can along the way.
I want make a lot of money to live the way I want, clear my debts and help as many others as I can.
hi eric what to base my business on this is a hard one my problem has always been what do i want to be when i grow up.i’m 57.i know so much about so many things. example about 16 yrs ago i applied for a computer repair school but didn’t get a grant i said to myself how hard can this be bought a couple books and have been building my own computers about every 3 yrs since then. i have a knack of catching on to whatever i’m into i have no retirement so i would like to spend my later years not having to worry about finances.about how much i want to make? extremely comfortable would be a good description,i don’t want to limit myself.thanks to you for eric’s tips i wish i ran into this before i spent x amount of dollars searching around for the right info thanks marty
Hi Eric
I have to say that i am well behind in the lessons as I don’t always get to the computer each day and as I work my way thru these lessons I am finding that it is not only your lessons that I am learning from but I also find that I get a lot from the blogs as well.
I have always found it hard to set goals for myself after as an “know it all teenager” had set for myself too hard a task and of course I failed. I thought that I was smarter than I was and my vision for life was so romanticized that I failed.I adopted the “this will do aspect” and since then I have continued the failure /victim aspect and I continued to set my goals so low that they are certainly acheiveable and getable but don’t stretch me as they should. I have found that I tend to resist the need to see the greater picture. So I just go thru the motions I suppose.
But here I am finding myself at 41 with just about everything I want but nothing spectacular on the horizon, thinking there must be more to this life. I have been thinking about the income creating aspect you mentioned in lesson 6 and that has got me to pondering what I can do that will generate more income than working all hours of the day for a employer that just uses up my energy and life and doesn’t give the opportunity to increase my income.
Being a “domestic engineer for 15years” I have lost so much income over the years as being a stay at home mum that I will never recover it with a regular job. I know that I won’t get that “fabulous high paying”job here where we live without moving to the city and that is not an option. Hate the city. I have come to the realization that now it is time that I crystalize some dreams and get them to come true.
So here I am setting down goals for myself on the internet of all places!
I would like to see a comfortable old age where we can travel our magnificant country and not have to worry about how to pay for it. We will have a 500k figure income from the products that I have designed and that promote water conservation and don’t have a detrimental effect on the environment and create employment opportunites in our area. Needless to say the credit crunch has hurt our town.I want to see my products as fashionable and everyone will want and need them. I don’t want to run the day to day side of the business so I will employ people to do that. I have always been hands on so that part may be a bit difficult there! I don’t want to do more than 20 hours a week of hands on work in my business once it gets off the ground. That will allow me to travel and do the things I want with my family.
I want the kids to acheive their goals BUT they will have to do the hard work to get it and not just have it handed to them on a plate. They will find they will appreciate it all the more if they do it for themselves.
I have a vision of helping the ones who need it thru charity work and funds from my ever increasing income. And I want to see it all up and going along by the age of 45.
There I have set my goals and with your help Eric I thank you in advance.
Hi, Eric
First, let me thank you for your time and effort put into these lessons. Without going into a long drawn out story, I am one of htose people you speak of at being at the bottom financially. Because of my age and handicaps, outside employment is almost impossible. My vision…to grow, learn, earn, and achieve a new ME everyday. Not only in $’s but in emotional wealth to give back to my community, family and friends. I always thought I wanted too much out of life that I couldn’t possibly attain until I listened to lesson #13. Now, I KNOW I can do it!!! I started your lessons just yesterday and I finally feel like I have found someone who can actually help me reach my goals!!!
Thanks so much!!!!!
Hi Eric,
Thank you so much for your lessons. I have been looking for the “right” online work/business for about a year and a half now, and I have spent a LOT of money, but not found what I was looking for. It was so refreshing to hear someone say “stop buying stuff”! You are giving info in a clear manner that can be easily understood. What a gift!
I have been out of the workforce since 1996 due to some chronic pain issues, but even though I am almost 58, I am too young to “veg”. I still have a lot to offer, I just need help figuring out where to channel my energy and creativity.
I am still a newbie to affiliate marketing, but anxious to learn, so I don’t really know where this business will take me. I am excited and anxious for each days’ lesson. My short term vision is to out of credit card debt by the end of 2009. A non-financial goal is to pull myself out of my funk and depression, and get back into contact with the outside world…even if that world is online, for right now.
I do not know the protocol regarding these
comment spots, but I’ve seen a few other people’s spots that I identify with. Is it OK to respond/correspond with these folks, or do I need to be invited to do so? Thanks again Eric.
My vision is to be financially independant at what I love to do.My talent is in Pencil Portraits.I know I excel because in school my teacher{mentor} was the best at everything he did.He constantly compared his art with the best out there and was usually the best.I have the same style and few on the net can compare.I love your insight and teaching and have learned a lot and hope to learn more.I am still having a hard time with some of your teaching because I can;t find the relevanc eto what I do.I PLAN TO KEEP ON PLUGGING TILL I GET IT RIGHT!!!
hello Eric my vision is to become successful at internet marketing and now after viewing your video i now chose to aim a lot higher.i have recently retired from the workforce and i was looking to earn a few hundred dollars a week to help pay for household expenses, car rego insurance etc.Now i want to earn as much as possible and to then help others in need such as charitable organisations etc.
Hi Eric,
I dream of being able to retire my wife from her job,as (I am already retired) and to become debt free. I dream of owning a home on the lake (as I love to fish) and spend my days gazing across the beautiful water. I also dream of getting our patented product on the market someday as we have spent a lot of time and money getting a design patent, as well as a utility patent. My wife is a nurse and had this wonderful idea for a new bandage, well she told me about it and we ran with it, but also ran out of money too. I dream of having something to leave my two wonderful kids so they can have something to start their dreams with.
Hey Eric, My vision is to be employed by myself through affilate marketing. I’ve tried a couple different times with clickbank ebooks, advertising on myspace, but no luck. I am running an add on Google right now, still waiting to see how that turns out. My vision is to be able to set up my ads each day and spend the amount on advertising and then get it back plus enough for my income. If you have any recommendations for that directly, I’d love to hear it. Thank you for the videos and have an awesome day!
My vision is to start an online marketing business and generate an average of over a million dollars in revenue per year. I want to be able to live my life and be happy without having to worry about money and where I will be getting my next meal. I want to retire my parents and be able to have a home in Florida as well as Chicago (close to the family) …. I want to travel and see the world and have the opportunity to experience and enjoy life. I want to be able to introduce my family to a new way of thinking and to take away the pressures of the world. I want to be able to spend my time helping other people and donating money to organizations that are profitable for people with less opportunity then myself. I want to have the freedom to wake up and decide I won’t work that day or that I will spend my time in Australia or Europe! My mom has never been out of the country and she is 52! I want to take her to other countries so she can experience a fulfilled life! I want to send my brother to college and to help my sister get her business off the ground! I want to build churches and do great things for God!
1 Corinthians 11:1
Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.
My vision is to have a successful internet business that will afford me the time and money to spend with my family and especially the grand kids and to be able to spoil them so rotten not even their parents will be able to stand them. I want to take my wife on vacations where we are not pressured to get back home so she can go back to work. Being disabled makes me that much more determined to reach these goals to show others that it can be done.
Hi Eric, here is My Visioins:
1. I will earn at least $10000 a month by and work at most 10 hours a week for my online businesses. So I could have enough time and money to live a comfortable life, travel to wherever I want whenever I want, and keep learning whatever I want or enjoy my hobbies such as novel writing, practicing martial arts or psychics. And I can do all this without someone telling me what I should or should not do, or be more practical this or that way.
2. My online businesses will be about something of my interests or concern, such as psychics, psychology, education, spirituality, environment protection or martial arts etc.
3. My online business will be able to operate when I focus on something else, at least for a period of time, and can be monitored and controlled by me wherever I am.
4. My online business will be a safe base for me to venture into offline business, in the way of providing capitals and making sure that I will still have satisfying income when my offline business failed etc.
5. I will learn how to influence people and promote my idea online in the process of learning internet marketing, and learn how to do the same thing in offline world by doing offline business.
6. I will use what I’ve learned to promote something I considered of great social values such as creating a new educational system, if possible, construct a system that could work on it’s own to promote that valuable thing. After that is done, seek another social valuable thing to promote.
My vision is to have a successful online business, that is netting at least one million(1,000,000)$ per year. This business will center around my passion of helping people attain peace of mind, and body. This business will allow me to pay off all my creditors faithfully, get the surgery I want. I will be able to travel at will, and be able to give to charity, without feeling resentment.
Hey Eric,
Just started reading your tips, and I want to say thank you for re-focusing me back in the right direction. My dream(vision) has always been to succeed in my own business, leaving that 9-5 job, and doing the things for my family that would help them the most, whether it be money, houses, cars, whatever. I have been one of those people who has continued to try the next get-rich-quick scheme out there without really having a sense of what I was doing and in my mind “ripped off” time and time again. Well, this time is different, thanks to you! Finally, I think by watching your lessons, I can see that vision of being able to help my family, become debt-free, travel when and where I want to, and using multiple streams of income to continue that vision for as long as I want to. I think the desire has always been there, but I have always let the present get in my way!
Thanks, keep up the good work, and much success to all of us out there realizing a dream!
Stan
My vision is starting to get clearer. at first I want to learn to be the best internet marketer around the plant. Thats my overall goal.My first goal is to research and learn all the tips. from the best markters avaliable.witch comes to your most prized tip out there. dont buy any thing until you know what your getting into. thanks your info its great.im learning something every day.
As a clay artist, I would like to have an online business that deals with art; however, I cannot conceive of something in the arts that people will buy online. For me, art is my area of expertise.
As far as income is concerned, I would be satisfied making $50,000 a year with an online business that revolves around art. If I were making that kind of money online, I could spend ten hours a day in my studio making clay objects that would sell.
My vision is to create a number of successful online businesses close to my heart. They will bring a wealth of wisdom, help and support to people and fill them with hope. They will bring me a sense of fulfillment and purpose and give back to the universe what it brings me in finances and reward.
Hi Eric, I’ve been with you through your entire lessons so far, and have loved everyone of them.
My vision is to become a successfull Marketeer - with a goal of a million a year. To start I’d like to get all of bills paid and buy this house and property where I live now, even though I can’t afford a riding lawn mowerfor my 21/2 acreas (I cut grass with a push mower now) that will be one of the first things I do with my money. I do voluntary work for the Salvation Army now, and I can’t see ever giving that up I love the people there and contact with all the customers, not even when all my dreams of wealth, health and many new friends comes true.
I’m going to make it, at least for the rest of my life (I’m 72 now).

Hi Eric, my vision is to build a successful Internet Marketing Business from my home, which will give me more time to be with my family, allowing me to finally be debt free, buy anything that my wife and my two kids want. I visualize myself living in a mansion in the Cameron Highlands and travelling the world to all the places I’ve always longed to see.
I visualize myself helping others build their own financial freedom thru Internet Marketing and starting other charitable organizations to help poor students achieve their educational goals, and bring joy to other under privileged children.
Eric,
Thank you in advance for these lessons. I have already learned some things. Right now my vision is to get away from my deadend 9 to 5 job that I hate. My overall big vision is to be financially free from any debt now and in the future. I would like to earn enough money to one give back to the people in my life that have helped me be who I am today and two be able to support my wife and children in whatever aspect that is. I would like to grow a business online that lets me be able to see all of my kids activities and let my wife and I do many of the things that we dream of daily. Do I have goals of making 1 million dollars and working when I want to, sure who doesn’t but most of all I want to be able support all of my family and everybody be happy for it in the end. Thank You, Brent
Hey Eric,
I also wanted to add to the many thanks for helping me along my way.
My business vision;
I want to work solely from home in 2 years time, I want to earn more than enough money to enjoy the rest of my long life, more than enough to sort the whole family out and many friends who are in need.
I want to incorporate my love for art and anything slightly left-wing especially new ways of thinking, meditating and being more positive. I would say at the moment my true passion is anything to do with ‘The Secret’ and the universe and although I am not yet a master at it, I would love to be able to help people empower themselves as it has empowered me, if only to introduce them to the concepts.
I am so happy to be taught by someone who knows and clearly practises these life altering lessons.
Thanks again Eric, you really are here for an amazing reason!!..
Faye
Oh Eric,
My visions are so many I don`t even know where to start! I am going to build a beautiful house with my boyfriend (hopefully my husband soon) That will have plenty of rooms for our kids to bring their familys. I will make so much money so that he can quit his job and fix his dream car back to how it was or better. Buy him a helicopter, new motorcycle. And I`ll give him money to day trade because thats what he likes to do. I will still make my kids buy their first cars, but I will buy their second. They sure know how to be broke. But they need to know what it`s like to work too. If their smart they will buy a cheap one first:) I can`t wait to take them to a high class car dealership and let them pick out which ever one they want and pay cash on the spot for them!!! I am going to take them all over the world so they can see how other people live and how beautiful the world actually is. Im going to go visit my Mom and hand her a million dollars. I can`t wait to see the smile on her face:) I will also buy whatever I want for Christmas presents. I want to stay myself but it will sure be nice to be able to do what ever I want!! I`m so excited I can`t wait!!!! I always knew I would have money and now its going to happen!!! Thank you so much Eric!! I WILL make you proud!!

Hi Eric,
My vision is to develop an online internet business centered around health & fitness and providing information to others who are seeking the financial security this type of business can provide. I will be totally debt free and will be able to provide the same to my grown children and their children. My husband & I will travel the USA seeing places I’ve only read about! My business will produce at least $2 million dollars a year. I will be able to increase my giving back to the community significantly…blessing others as God has blessed me!
Hi Eric,
Thanks for your lessons. If following your instructions will make it possible for me to set up a successful internet business it will be a miracle!
I’ve always been very frugal and always lived within my income. I’m retired and entering my eighth decade of life. I’m comfortable and really don’t need anything. However, my daughter has a vision which I share to set up a philanthropic Foundation to help people in need.
To accomplish this it is my vision set up a successful internet business with many websites that will generate many income streams that will eventually require minimum monitoring and tweaking to generate many hundreds of thousands of dollars to support our Foundation. I still don’t know how to set up many websites and and what I’m going to sell. Following your lessons, I’m confident we’ll be able to make it work. Thank you.

Hi Eric,
My vision is to help others with my online business. I want to be able to take and help others take mission trips to tell others about Jesus. I want to be able to freely give to my church, charities, and organizations that help with the abuse of animals. I want to not have to worry anymore about money.
Thank you Eric for helping me look towards the future and helping me get my online business going. I have tried a number of different businesses and have failed but now I feel like I have a much better chance of succeeding because of your help. Thanks again and God bless!!! Love and prayer in Christ Jesus,
Melvin Coe
Hi Eric
Iam a 57 year old single female, I have worked for someone else my entire life, and now I find myself unemployed. My vision is to start your on line business program and to succeed at it.I don’t want to work for anyone else but myself again. I am new at this but I do have a vision of being a successful on line business owner, with you and the lord on my side I can’t loose
thank you eric for this program
Hey Eric,
I have just started your lessons after having received them for the past month. Due to health issues it has taken me longer than I expected to get started, however, I have jumped into your lessons with both feet and have listened and watched the first 13 within the past 12 hours. There is a lot of information to absorb, and I am so glad you are providing them to us. I too have started learning all of this later in life, but am very interested and anxious to have my own online business. This has been a dream of mine for the past 11 years. Yes, I to have purchased way too many “golden opportunities”, only to have been frustrated and disappointed in what I had purchased.
I am very glad you are doing what you are to help so many people get started in the right way, and for free. It is absolutely awesome!!!!
My vision is to be able to live a comfortable life with my wife, provide her with the future she wants and deserves, and to be able to make at least $250,000 per year to achieve this goal. I am diabetic and am waiting for a kidney transplant, so anything I could do to help people that are in the same boat, or that are wanting to better their lives, would be a starting point. There are other genres that interest me, but we all have to start somewhere and climb the stairway to success one step at a time. I will be doing this with yous and anyone elses help I can obtain.
I know I can do this because of my 11 year desire and dreams of succeeding. I am very tired of working for corporate America and only being an employee. It is time to be a successful business owner and live the life that goes along with it.
Sorry to ramble on so, I am just so excited to have the chance to learn from someone that is totally dedicated to actually helping with a step by step method of making all of us a success.
Thank you for what you are doing, and I look forward to all of the future lessons. Being a mere 50 miles from you in Brighton, Co. is awesome also.
Thanks again,
Jack
My vison is to own a successful online business using the blueprint you have established. Working your blueprint will first allow me to become established as a working from home online business owner, which will afford me the time and resouces to development my own product,
Goal
1.)To get the business fully operable and generating income
2.)Not to return to work outside the home. having the business support my current life style.
3.) develop my own infor product,
4.) become a millionair
I plan to accomblish this by
a) working the business full time
b) working three parts of the quadrant, the employee,owner&invester.
c) After two years only work only two the owner & invester.
d) place this indeavor in the hands of the Lord,you (Eric) then me.
Eric,
First, I would like to thank you for the “laymans” lessons on starting a business - after listening to and reading others, you are so clear cut and to the point. . . it has taken away my frustration will I ever achieve my vision . . .
I believe now that I will live debt free, I will travel and redecorate my house. I will put in a new patio complete with an outdoor kitchen! I will help my children with their college loans since up to this point I could not! Along with all of that I will retire happy! I can’t thank you enough, Eric, you have breathed life back into me!
My Vision: I am getting payments from various sources which gives me income on regular intervals - weekly, monthly, quarterly and annually - of well into the mid 6-digit range.
M y vision is to actually get a lesson that describes exactly what I have to do to make money. So far all I have is encouragement to think positive, set goals, have vision and the Lord, but nothing concrete as to what to do to make money.
My vision is to have a successful online business(es) where I can be a WAHM. I will only work 20 hours a week and have enough time to attend to my young children of 4 and 6 and help my husband to develop his passion. I want to make an annual income of 6 figures which more than replace my corporate income where I had worked crazy hours, juggle like crazy between work and family and have little satisfaction. I will also be able to take vacations and visit my parents and sisters every year. I will like to share my knowledge and help other people while making good money and also be passionate about what I do. I hope this day will come soon with all the hard work.
My goal is to consistantly generate $10000/mo within the next 4 years through affiliate programs with lifetime commission programs; to write, publish, and sell cookbooks, food-articles, blogging services, and signature kitchen accessories on my websites. I envision investing in a portfolio to generate funds for children in need. I see myself attending culinary classes and workshops around the world and being a spokesperson for raising the quality of education in American schools.
Questions: Can you recommend a good book on copyrighting? I have been researching professional copyrighting for additional business. International Living is selling a 12 month course for $400 with “$10000 contract with your first promotional letter” Is this hype or what? Also where do I find your responses and how do I sign up for your newsletters?
Are you talking about this course:
http://www.thewriterslife.com/awi/heeh/
It’s a good one, but they aren’t guaranteeing $10k. So yeah the one you’re looking at is probably hyped…
But it IS possible to charge that much. I do
http://www.ericholmlund.com/copywriting
Also Yanik Silver is a good copywriting teacher:
http://www.writingcash.com/links/copywriting.html
Thanks Eric,
http://www.thewriterslife.com/awi/heeh is a copy of the sales letter I received from International Living. Incredible!! It is a very long sales letter with photos of people making testimonials about how they got rich copywriting but that’s about all besides the copy. Yanik Silver is selling his copywriting system also. Both of these urls are examples of copywriting. I also looked at your copywriting services/fees. That’s amazing. There’s got to be tremendous competition for these projects. Okay, I’m doing more research into this subject.
I have many visions for my whole life.
but I will focus on my own business:
I will make an online business that will combine many streams of income. the goal is for 20.
I will create my own eBook’s about personal development & hook it up to a mail list that will get a lot of worldly mentors (whom I love to listen to).
I will use my website to give quality info & products about network marketing & internet marketing.
I will keep my eBay business that sells quality products with Drop shippers, & create niche websites in Music, Stock markets, real estate, live music tours, & worldwide traveling.
things which I enjoy personally. Each website will have affiliate programs & ads.
This business will revenue at a 100,000$ a year at starters and by 5 years will revenue 1,000,000$ dollars a year.
& will assist me to buy property & land so I can generate passive income that will allow
me to pursue my dream to become a top musician & producer.
I donate each month 10% of my earnings for different charities in my country & other countries as well.
My vision:
I see a successful affiliated online business that generates sufficient revenue that would allow my wife to retire from the work she is currently attached, if she so desires. It includes working from home any hour I choose, and for as long as I want. I see the vision as something I really enjoy, stimulating mentally, and something I always want to pursue.
Before I state my goals I want to thank you for putting Eric’s Tips together and giving them for free. I don’t mind paying money for valuable information (and this IS VALUABLE), but I can now put that money into actually implementing some of the strategies I will learn from you.
I have a number of goals I want to accomplish in the next few years. My main goal is to get off disability this year (which means staying out of the hospital). The next is to be a successful internet marketer with an annual income of +1,000,000.00 within the next 3 years. The 1st year I will start my business, become debt free, get married and start saving towards a home. The second year continue to grow my business, purchase a home, travel & visit family more often. The third year continue to grow my business (this will be something I plan to do every year until I decide it is time to retire), purchase a home for my parents, set my Dad up with his own small business (something he enjoys, won’t cause stress and keeps him busy; he’s that type of person), begin adoption process to start a family. After I have accomplished these goals I will continue with internet marketing and possibly start an energy conservation business with some other members of my family including my future husband (he works in construction and enjoys it and I had been an energy conservation engineer prior to my illness).I can probably even merge the two. I feel these goals will give me the opportunity to have the family life I long for, the financial security I crave as well as a sense of pride and self worth knowing what I accomplished for me and my family. It would also give me the opportunity to give back and help my community especially those who like me are faced with severe health issues that can totally disrupt their lives, possibly forever.
Thanks Eric for all wise words so far. Seems all postings are from last year, but here comes my Vision:
I am 59 yrs and have been working with alternative medicine and biodynamic research since 1980 I have no money or economical security to show for all these years.
What I do have is a rich spiritual and I have been working with what I love so rich in soul but poor in vallet.
To have a sustainable income. To be able to do what I want.
I want to be able to share my coming wealth with some awesome friends so they can fulfill their dream and just boost them as you boost me.
I love to travel and I am engaged in helping tibetan refugees in Dharamsala India.
Today I do not have enough to share and be a free human being with control of my life and money.
So I think this is my time and opportunity on earth.
Thanks again Eric, for your top notch lessons
Helen in Sweden
Hi again Eric
correction:
postings are NOT as I said from last year .. I missed to scroll down .
Helen
My vision is to make enough money to be very comfortable. I want to be able to do whatever I want, such as, travel, buy a car, etc. I also want the feeling of succeeding in whatever I do. I have quite a ways to go, but I feel confident I will succeed in reaching my goals.
Dear Carol,
You have a vision. I read about your vision in Lesson 13 of Eric’s Tips. You want to develop a small community on your land.
On your land are small one bedroom/bath cabins that would be occupied by the women in their senior years. They contribute.
Their contribution enables you to support your son who is a drummer. He doesn’t have to make real money for about three years.
I’m not sure. Is your vision going to bring enough money? But then. That is no reason to forget about your vision.
I read that you are a retired teacher. That made me think. I have an idea. I want to tell you about my idea. You could do something with it.
We could work together. What I have got is a business idea. I’m thinking of writing an e-book and selling it over the Internet.
You could join me. I think my idea can bring a lot of money. We share the money. You could use the money to realize your vision.
Before I tell you my idea. I want you to know. I never was a teacher. But that is what I found out later. I should have been one.
This is about education. Education is very bad. The way kids are educated is still the same as two hundred years ago.
Schools are not interested in their kids. How long do kids stay in a school? Four years? Five years? Six years? And then they are supposed to move on.
You were a teacher. How long have you been a teacher? How many kids have you had? Do you still know their names?
Do you know what your kids are doing? Do you know whether your kids are successful in life? Do they have a happy life?
Let me give you the facts. And the schools are to blame. School could have educated their kids and avoid what is happening now.
One. 63% of the people that are working hate their job, they hate their colleagues, they hate their pay, and they hate their boss.
These 63% of the people that are working are frustrated. Not only at their work. Also at home. They hate their wife and their kids.
Their marriage often ends in a divorce. And their life is miserable. All because of the schools. The schools didn’t tell them.
Two. 95% of the people that retire are broke. They have nothing. They have no money. They depend on the people around them.
They depend on their kids or on their family. Their kids or their family must give them money. Or give them shelter.
The same as before. The schools are to blame. The schools didn’t tell their kids about life. The schools didn’t care.
I want to do something about these two problems. I think I know what can be done. I want to write about it in my e-book.
Not only do I want to write an e-book about this subject. I’m also thinking of helping parents and showing them how to support their children.
What do you think? Now you want to help women in their senior years. Why do you think their position is so bad? Right. The schools.
I think it is good to help those women in their senior years. But I’m afraid you need more money. I could help you to get it.
If interested let me know. You could send Eric an e-mail. I’m sure he will let me know.

Hi Eric and All,
Putting first things first. Like every post ahead of mine, I want to give my sincere thanks to Eric for giving me a chance to leave a footprint in my internet marketing journey. Hopefully one day I will come back to this post and show the world that Eric really made a big difference in my life.
I have been thinking for two days about my visions before I made this posting. I want this to be a stepping stone in my self fulfilling prophecy. I have a vision that I’ll be able to quit my current day job, become a super affiliate, and making over $20,000 per month by June of 2010. I would be able to work less than 20 hours per work in my own internet marketing business, going to the gym everyday, spending lots of time with family, traveling and taking vacations. In 2011, I will be able to attend all of peak potentials courses, attending different marketing conferences and creating ventures with others to expand my business. By end of 2012, I will be making $1 million per year, making significant contributions to charity and to the needy as well as helping close relatives. I will move into a more comfortable house, send my four year old daughter to a private school and attending to her school events with her mom. From 2013 and onwards, I will spend more time helping others and become a trainer in what I do. I will travel around the country, tell my story, and make a difference in other people’s lives.
Thanks for reading.
Milton
P.S.
Do you need help finding someone online? You can find their contact information at http://www.people-search-fast.ws
My vision begins with putting God first in everything that I do. So, by the grace of God, I am…..
Developing several streams of passive income online. I see myself, within a few years, earning upwards of $5,000,000.00 each year.
One vehicle is informational medical websites with responsible monetization. Another vehicle is medical ebooks. I can see at least 100 successful ebooks. Additionally, I see teaching and training via video/tutorials.
To remain responsible to the medical profession and to the value of human contact. I envision myself continuing to see patients two days every week.
Additionally I see myself as a successful daytrader, earning $1,000,000 per year (and more each year) using strict strategies and education. Already well in progress.
My money is a vehicle to bless the Lord, the church and to bless family, friends, and whomever else God places in my life.
Additionally, I have an ability to pay for my children’s college education including room and board.
I have adequate cash to pay tithe, taxes and money to spend for travel and other fun, .. and buy the house of my dreams in the region I call home–in the South Bay Area, near SF.
I also intend to travel, entertain, go on medical mission trips, join in the fight against poverty around the world, help in our church visions, encourage others, donate anonymously wherever needed.
To these ends, I will never give up. I believe in the power of God and vision. I seek the answers I need to succeed. In fact, I believe God will give me every answer I need when I need it. I believe He will open every door at just the right time. I believe that my life has value. I believe that I have a predestined journey and I intend to use my gifts and to fulfill my purpose in life. I will share my knowledge so that others can also succeed and leave a legacy for future generations.
Someone has to do it. It might as well be me!!!

I am a Professional Architect. My Vision is to promote the use of Clean, Individually Generated, Solar, Wind and other Alternate forms of Power, to the point that all built structures must have energy generation capabilities. I can Picture in my mind the day when All Buildings will be part of the Solution to our Energy Needs, instead of the huge Energy Losers they are now. ANY ROOF WITHOUT ENERGY GENERATION CAPABILITIES IS A WASTE OF PRIME ENERGY GENERATION SPACE. I Envision Multiple Web sites including Informational sites on this issue, Sites which offer all types of energy generation products both small and large, Sites which relate to new buidling integrated approaches to Architectural Design and a Link Through site to Environmentally Friendly Design / Build Construction Services Companys. Forums for Experts in the new emerging technologies making suggestions for Modifications to laws and rules to incentivise and even require “CLEAN SUSTAINABLE ENERGY GENERATION CAPABILITIES” for all buildings.
Thanks for the Valuable insights.
I am a Professional Architect and my vision is of a world where Solar, Wind, Geothermal, Tidal and all other Clean Energy Generation Capabilities are Common if not a required feature of all building projects. ANY ROOF AREA NOT GENERATING ELECTRICITY RIGHT NOW IS A WASTE OF VALUABLE SPACE.
I have a plan for a series of web sites, from informational sites with PPC capabilities to Product Sales sites hooked in to ebay and direct product purchasing manufacturers for all things Energy.
I need to market my Architectural Firm and the “Green Design / Build Company” which I am branching out into. I also have in mind a few green products to be marketed possibly in an affiliate marketing launched campaign.
I have a lot to learn and your words of wisdom are helping to shape my vision’s end product.
My vision is to build an internet business that creates massive wealth to build a Christian center for orphans/widows/battered women. Where they can live safely in peace to get an education, and be happy. To get them out of despair and make some dreams come true.
My vision is basically to earn at least 7 figure income through Internet Marketing. With that income I want to buy my type of dream car which is convertible car. With that income, I want to buy a condominium. With that income I want to venture into more business as I want to create more job opportunities for the physically challenge people as I am one of them.
Most of the messages disguise a ‘GOAL’ without a ‘PLAN. That’s because ‘GOAL’S’ ARE ‘DREAMS! SO THEY LIST A DOLLAR ANNUAL SUM - THE MAGIC WORD IS $1,000,000! BREAK IT DOWN WEEKLY! NOW A PLAN BASED ON WEEKLY GROSS BECOMES REDUCED TO EFFORT: UNTIL I START WITH A ‘REALISTIC’ GOAL BASED ON A PERCENT OF RESPONSE [LEADS] HITS; AT LEAST A 40 TO 1 RATIO -HOW CAN I HAVE A VISION THAT’S BEYOND A FANTASY OF THE MIND? IT’S PURELY SUBJECTIVE!!! I HAVE A VISION 2 IN FACT; BUT IT’S TOO PREMATURE TO THROW FIGURES AT THE WALL. IF I DON’T KNOW WHAT’S REALISTIC, HOW CAN THIS TRANSLATE INTO WORK ENERGY THAT IS PREDICTABLE? I’LL NEVER BE DISCOURAGED AS LONG AS I CAN EVALUATE THE ‘DRAW’ OF A GIVEN PROGRAM. PERHAPS I WILL NEED TWO OR MORE ‘DRAWS’ DESIGNED FOR DIFFERENT CUSTOMER ‘NEEDS’ TO MEET A MINUMUM. I’M HOPING TO LEARN SOME OF THESE EVALUATION TOOLS SO THAT EACH SEGMENT OF MARKETING APPEAL WILL EVALUATE A SEGMENT OF THAT POTENTIAL MARKET RESPONSE. HOPE THIS IS NOT RUNNING FROM REALITY, BUT I’VE LIVED TOO LONG AND TOO OFTEN ‘CONVINCED’ MYSELF THAT THE DISH I’M SERVED WILL NOT VANISH, WHEN IN FACT, THE POTENTIAL REALITY IS ILLUSION. IF I DON’T EXPECT BUT A BITE-FULL, MY APPETITE WILL INCREASE, JUST CHANGE THE FORMULA. FROM AL WHALEY GIVETOGAIL.INFO NOT UP YET.
My vision is to build successful businesses online and offline. I want to have financial freedom and spend quality time with my family. I want to achieve an income of a few millions (in US dollar) a year. By achieving that, then I want to help people or to motivate people to succeed in their lives. I want to be a motivation guru or personal development guru to motivate people to be successful and not waste their life and time. Money is very important to me, but if I can help people to achieve their financial freedom or succeed, that’s more satisfying my life will be. I know it’s not easy but I know I can achieve it because I know the secret of success already and I just want to prove it to people.
My vision is to establish an internet business which will allow me to aquire enough income to ensure my family can live their lives without the stress of not having. My vision is having an income that will fulfill all I neeed to allow me to share with the less fortunate in life.
My vision is to further my education so that I may use all the tools to become a benefactor for otherss.
SHORT TERM VISION
Complete the training necessary to successfully develop and start my online business.
Use the lessons to build the successful high traffic websites to fulfill my financial plan of 100+k per year.
LONG TERM VISION
Use the internet to maintain a six figure monthly income for the rest of my life.
Financially support others that need financial assistance.
Purchase a fantastic home on a beautiful lake setting with ample lake frontage, A place with a comfortable climate and great lake fishing.
Be financially able to Travel & vacation around the world where and when I desire with out the concern of cost.
MY VISION: Is to have Internet Home Business to work from my computer in any place of the world. Because of my age (69) I can not get any job of my proffesion (CPA) I were looking for 5 years now without any sucsess. It is my only hope because my savings has gone, I have no money and my credit cards are at limit. I may confess that I was looking for this opportunity since probably three years ago and I found a lot of scams. Every body want to sell their secrets to became a millionaire through the Internet but it is so complicate that is almost impossible to get to the end.
Hope this time is true
My objective is to operate an internet estate producing, in the first stage, a minimum of US $10K per month net income comprising of properties of which, after my having thoroughly learnt the process of building promoting and maintenance, would be outsourced for further multiplication, requiring of me finally less than 12 hours a week to administer. The whole enterprise must reflect the highest standards of value, equity and integrity and be mutually beneficial for all concerned.
This is such a wonderful opportunity and I’m the newbie who knew nothing!!–I’m working on understanding all of the prior stuff and have created the short term goal of gathering knowledge.–My secondary goal is to set and maintain an income source on line of $5000.00 per month and utilizing everything you are teaching–I’ve set my long range goal to be debt free and earning a living from my online business with a goal of making more than $150,000.00 per year! As I learn more the potential of this will become a reality!Thanks so much for your help!!
Hi Eric,
As I’m finishing up one 40 year career I’m looking forward to setting up a new one. I have been a marketer all my life and run in the top three per cent globally. I have a vision of establishing a online business in the information field and / or intangibles. I want to especially focus in the lead source generation opportunities. Making 30,000 part time the first year then continue to increase it a additional 30,000 every year would be a good start.
Eric,
Thanks for an awesome training program. It is the most realistic and usable information I’ve been able to find on line, and I’m really excited about completeing all of the lessons and putting my new found talents to work.
My vision is to quit my day job by spring of 2010 and earn a comfortable living with both an offline and online business. I will expand my current ebay business with a more concentrated effort to increase sales of my current products as well as introducing new products. I will create and sell information products online relating to both the RV business as well as vintage motorcycles. I will create membership websites to serve both of these markets. I also intend to do affiliate marketing. I will also team up with my brother to write ebooks on his specialty which is teaching others how to live a healthy lifestyle through diet, exercise and natural supplements. I will be earning $10,000 per month within 18 months, building this to over $500,000 annualy within 3-4 years. This will allow me to be debt free, help others less fortunate than we are, and purchase our dream house and larger boat!
Again, thanks to Eric and all who have posted here. You are truly and inspiration to us all.
Hi Eric
My vision is to be a successful online marketer; to be debt free by 07 July 2010; to develop a unique retiree village with state of the art facilities and be able to help out needy children in my community
My vision comes to me Eric from all you help. God bless you and your family for all help. I thank God for his endless blessings.
I will be able to start a new internet business. I want to achieve an online business that brings me to a monthly income of $10,000.00 dollars in first six months. Then make the needed adjustments to grow it up to $30,000.00 a month in the first nine months. I want to pay off all my debt. Keep putting my profits back into my business and build at least 7 income streams as soon as possible with in first nine months.

My vision is to own my own gift basket business with floral crafts. Multiple streams of online income being made while I’m asleep. Never to be broke another day in my life. To be a money magnet. I need to get my teenager through high school without any distractions, which is lack of money. I want freedom. I want to be of Millionaire Status.

Then asking them if they would like take off and go to florida to see sharks and whales at the aqarium. Pardon my spelling please bare with me. My vision also has things that I will never see again and thats puting drywall screws in my boots just to hold them togther ever again. These lessons are really giving me new views to look at I can not begien to thank you enoff.
Hi Eric:
My vision for myself and my prayer partner is to be job free,finacially independant and in fulltime ministry to underprivelged children in our home towns within a year. When the time comes and I stand before God and He asks me, “Did you enjoy your life.” I am going to say, “Yes! And, thank-you for creating it for me.”
Hey Eric
My vision is to be able to have a continuous income all the way up to my retirement age. I also have read every book you spoke of and also came across another book that I use all the time called The Magic of Thinking Big By David Schwartz PHD and has inspired me through out my life since 1975. I have done many network marketing businesses that have failed one by one and I thought that I could learn affiliate marketing and you have seemed to make it more realistic for me now. I so appreciate people like you that you really do want to help people succeed. Thank you for all of the videos thus far. I skipped ahead on a few. HTML video a little fast for me.
God bless you Eric for you have what looks like to me helped alot of people and hopefully I will also be successful this time. I have a regular job 40 hrs per week and then I come home to watch your videos and try to implement the ideas and tips you give as soon as I can. How did you get involved with Mackenzie Lee and Dan David? Talk to you again I am sure. It is great having you as a teacher LOL. Fred Becker,Florida
I am not involved with them, can you send me a link to what you are referring to?
My vision is to be earning $25,000.00 per month. This will allow us to pay off our home within 5 years. We can set up a $ 1,000,000.00 trust fund for the special organization that has taken care of our special needs son for many years now. We will be able to spend time in our home town area two months a year along with taking a couple of other trips to special places each year. it will allow us to live in a very comfortable life style while still being able to help others. I visualize promoting other peoples’ products and services initially and develop our own products as we we go. Ultimately our products will comprise the majority of our business and revenue. I personnaly am a young 69 and enjoy working, people and life.
Best wishes for success to you Eric and to all your follower friends.
Bruce
Lesson #13 was another winner!! Let’s hope it’s Lucky 13.
My vision:
I see myself running a very successful internet marketing business. In my vison, I am an online supplier for interior designers, architects and interior decorators. In this business, I also have an offline component — as an FF&E contractor having the responsibility of ordering and placing all the furniture, fixtures and equipment for design projects in my area. The results I have achievedd in my vision are:
1. Nearly $500K mortgage paid in full
2. Nearly $50K in school loans paid in full
3. Give tithes to my church in thousands and additional offerings as the spirit moves me.
4. Purchased million-dollar home for my son and his partner
5. Purchased large motor home and begin tour of American tourist attractions
6. Tour Italy
7. Combined with 1-6 above, enjoy life with my husband without financial or health woes.
Part of my vision is still a bit cloudy as I do not have any grandchildren yet. When I do become a grandmother, I want to have to means to give my grandchildren all the opportunities I was not able to provide for my own son. I do not believe in spoiling kids to the point where they have no respect for others or where things come from.

Dear Eric,
Thank you so much for taking the time and making the enormous effort to put this information up for us all! My wife and I are working through the lessons together and just wanted to mention our appreciation.
After much procrastination and thought, our vision for our business is:
- to enable us to work from home, and make our own schedules
- to not be location bound allowing us to travel where and when we would like
- in the short term (next 12 months) to generate at least $10 000 per month (We will expand the financial portion of the vision as we progress and $10 000 starts seeming like a small number)
- to remain debt free
- to give us the time and finances to build our dream home in the next few years
- to give us time to spend together doing the things we love
- to be a business we are passionate about, can stand behind the product/products and can manage with integrity.
- to ultimately function autonomously and for us to be able to choose how much of our time and in what areas we want to be involved in
- to allow us to give freely of our finances and time to those who are in need
- to give us some experience in sales and marketing
- to in everything we do (even in the mundane), do it with joy remembering that we are working for the Lord (Whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him (Col 3:17))
Amen to what you said here…. in everything we do (even in the mundane), do it with joy remembering that we are working for the Lord (Whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him (Col 3:17))
I can see a bus. that makes a great deal of money on auto pilot. For some time I have seen a room full of monitors as I stand watching my multitude of businesses grow.
For some time I have had a idea about growing all businesses with the end result of giving back to the community. Instead of all the profits going to the top it is spread out sharing with those who need the help the most and go from there. I know a lot of people say this sounds like a form of socialism but aren’t we practicing a lot of socialism now.
If every bus. was giving back to your community wouldn’t u be more likely to do bus with them? I think u would.
My big goal would be to change this muderous health care system and start using know cures for all diseases that are covered up by big phama and this corrupt gov. Also to change the processed food system. It is a real killer with its own aggenda, profits at any cost. If only to get a start I know it would spread like wild fire.
I think to how many people refer to the movie “pay it forward”. I hear it more and more now but I’ve had these ideas along the same lines for a much longer time than the movie.
I just hopt to build a bus and get enough to get a start and I know it will grow. It can work on any bus and if the people want a better world they will join because after all they r just helping themselves.
My vision is to have a very successful online business, earning me $120,000.00 per year or more $10.000.00 per month, $333.00 per day.
I want to help my family by being able to also show them how to earn this kind of money and I want to give back to my community. Part of my vision is to explore the world
And witness Gods handiwork with people places things. Part of this vision is to have
A home where my kids and grandkids could visit me on holidays and other.
My vision is to be earning $10.000.00 per month.This will enable me to buy a little place for myself, and to be able to travel. I look after my mom fulltime, and having an online business will give me the opportunity to be with her more hours in the day. At present I have an ebay store, and an online store. My vision is to turn those sites into them making 10 thousand a month.
Eric, I just want to say thank you for giving us all the opportunity to learn without even spending a dime.. Thank you
My vision is really quit simple as I see it. I want to create an online business that has multiple streams of income. One that after it is set and running well that I can share with others to help them get where they want to go. I would like it to become as Automated as possible. So that it will allow me more time to focus on family, and my passion of continuing to coach High School Sports on a Volunteer basis. With that to also be able to do more fund raising for that and For my biggest dream a Non-Profit organization For middle class family of children with Disablities.
My vision is to have all my credit cards by Christmas and have a million dollars in my bank !!!!!
Eric,
I want to say thanks for your great lessons first of all, I am very thankful I became aware of them.
My vision of how I am going to attain my goals is still a little hazy because internet marketing is still quite new to me.
The end that I have in mind, is my husband and I living comfortably in a nice home, debt free, able to pay off children’s college debt.
We love to travel, so I can see getting an RV and traveling through out the U.S. Also traveling world-wide some. I would like to be able to help people get out of debt. I also would like to have the time to study portrait painting, which is something I really want to do.
Thank-you again, Eric and God Bless you and your family,
Lisa
My VISION
Seeing the light at the end of the tunnel where I am my own boss. To make enough money to get out of debt as an internet marketer. Be independent to work when I want to and enjoy my family, friends, and people I have contact with daily. Give back to those in need who are strugguling to get ahead in life. Teach those who want to be independent for their family and friends. Be able to volunteer at senior centers to get others involoved in their community activities. Also, I want the money to give to give to the people I love, family, friends, and those that are deserving. Pay It Fordward!!!
Thanks Eric for all the advice up to now…Terry W. Clark
My vision is to live life to the fullest with no regrets. To achieve financial freedom not only for my self but for my children, grandchildren, and many generations to follow.
My vision is to live between two sustainable homes - one in my native UK and one in southern Europe. To have a passive income from online marketing that allows me to give my time and money to assisting others in achieving sustainable success and financial freedom. To help guide my family and children in achieving the same. To share the second half of my life with my wonderful wife by travelling, meeting and helping (as required) people around the world.
Thank you for your time.
My vision for this business is to learn how to develop a successful on line business. I want to grow this business and work hard to make it a success. I want to make $5K-$10K per month (1st year) and $25,000 per month and use the money to pay off all my bills and to save. I want to use the saved money to purchase a house in the Caribbean and move my wife and daughter there(from Canada), so that I can enjoy a lifestyle of living in the sunshine on beautiful beaches. I want to spend more time living and no time worrying about money. I also want to use the money to help others. I think people were not made by God to spend 40 hours plus per week working. They should be enjoying their short lives. My vision is to use money to give me more options to enjoy life more, without the obstacle of lack of money. My vision is so clear that I can visualize myself already living it in the future.
My vision for my business (initially) is to; start a successful business with a livable income, then to expand into other streams of income. Then I want to teach my children how to do it. Of course I will help them to get started then let em go! Of course for myself, I want a new home, a new Harley, and a new car. I’ll know I’ve “arrived” when the Harley is ready to ride!
My vision is to create a successful online business that includes online gaming, identity theft, fitness and health, investing. These websites will help to make an income of more than $2,000,000.00 dollars are year, through affiliate marketing and info/digital downloads and commissions. I will work no more than 30 hours per week being able to spend a lot of time with my wife and children. we will be able to take vacations 2-4 times a year, while my online business runs completely on autopilot the whole time.
Hi Eric,
My vision is to build my business to hit a 5 figure income in the next 90-120 days that will eventually grow (within 2 years) to generate 1 million dollars per year.
My vision is to provide a service second to none, without the hype and innuendo that acompany so many of these advertisements on the internet.
My vision is to work hard at becomming finnacially independant, having several bad accidents in my life limits me physically to do jobs lately also help my family to do the same thing.
Hi Eric,
First, I would like to thank you for all the free lessons to help me get started in an online business. My vision is that I would like to be an affiliate marketer, selling informational e-products to begin with, related to building an Internet business and getting as much traffic as I can to visit my site. I would eventually like to grow my business by selling hard products related to same (I don’t know exactly what that is yet but I’m thinking books related to Internet home businesses and selling products).
At the age of 57, I have worked hard all my life with one setback after another and right now I am just getting by. My goal is to reach an annual income of $1,000,000 and more plus pay off my home mortgage and credit card debt and get my business automated so I can start taking trips to visit every state in the United States and help as many people as I can along the way. With God’s blessings I would also like to meet a woman whom I can marry and take care of and share our life together.
Thank you again Eric!
Jim
Hi Eric,
I would like to promote the work of musicians, artists and poets to help them obtain recognition worldwide. A life where I wake up every morning excited by the day ahead would be wonderful! Hope all our visions come true!
Audrey
Hi Eric,
My vision is to own several successful websites and blogs in the most popular niches that are monetized with articles, videos, and adsnese and to also invest in real estate. My business will make 1,000,000 or more per year. The vision that I have once this is accomplished is to have a non profit organization to minister and help other women, especially single struggling women with needed finances and to mentor them and help to find a better way. I also plan to travel the world and see all the beautiful countries in the world with my husband.
Eric, My vision has always been to be able to travel around the country in a big nice motor home and to be financially secure, so that I will able to help the homeless and the down and out as I run upon them.Nothing would please me more than to be able to help them. I had lost sight of that vision a few months ago when I was forced to retire from my job at a early age. After hearing this lession I realize that I still have the chance to fulfill my vision by focusing on the inter net marketing as a means to support it.I now see myself as pulling the home off to the side of the road each day and checking on my laptop to see how much was deposited into my account that day.The more that is placed in the account means that I can help that many more. Thank you so much for taking the time to teach the course as it should be.
My vision is to make a big change in my life, to get off the sickness benifit and work for myself, to make this possible. I would like to own my own lifestyle property and not have to rent anymore. I do not want to owe money to antone, no future mortgage, no debt, no worry. I have worked hard all my life but really have got no where. I will work hard to make this change happen and would like to thank you for your help and wisdom. Everything you say is quite true. Many thanks.
Firstly I would like to get out of debt. Been laid off and have been unable to get a job so am really looking for something that works online. Then I would like to travel, visit family and help them and my friends who have been so generous to me, financially. Would love to start achieving tomorrow!! Great stuff Eric, thanks, Dot
Thank you Eric for being what you are. My vision is to live in a beautiful, spacious, well-kept home that is paid for, that will allow us to accommodate friends, colleagues and family members in cozy comfort whenever they come and visit.
My vision is to be able to travel at will, be it for visits, events, or exploration, to be able to create and finance opportunities for the advancement of great theatre and film projects, and for myself and many of my fellow actors, writers and directors to pursue our creative dreams.
My vision is to achieve this through a business that utilizes my writing, teaching, presentational and performance skills to empower others to solve their problems. achieve their goals, and lift themselves out of the mire of mediocrity… a business that allows me to wake up each day and look forward to doing things I naturally love to do, as well as things I have learned to love! Therefore, although I would definitely embrace outsourcing and autopilot where necessary, my goal would never be ‘not to work’ - I want to be forever facing new challenges and rejoicing in fresh accomplishments. This business must have multiple income streams to generate a combined total in the neighbourhood of £600,000 to £1,000,000 yearly, which will allow for investment as well as spending.
Eric,
The quote from Proverbs at the end of this lesson said it all for me. I feel like some Higher Power has led me to your site at this moment.
My immediate vision is to find a quick source of income to save me from foreclosure. The long term vision is financial freedom achieved by an online business that will eventually take care of itself once I get it established.
Thank you so much for being willing to do this for those of us who are lost in the woods.
Eric,
Thanks for the great lessons.
My vision is to be wildly successful in leveraging the tools of Internet Marketing for the work of the Lord. To equip and empower those who wish to share their products and ideas with the world thus adding value for both sellers and buyers (i.e. no hype).
To train my children in the understanding of diligence, work, provision, patience, faith, hope, and charity so they can continue to train their children and their children’s children.
Thanks again, Eric, for what you are giving.
Brian
My vision is to have multiple streams of passive income that allow me to live my desired lifestyle and to work because I choose to work, not because I have to work. I will teach others how to be prosperous, not just monetarily, but emotionally as well. My husband and children are positive, giving, and want to give back to help others.
Hi,
The postive pyschology that unerlies what you are doing is very good, so here goes. The vision.
My passion, call it a vision if you like, is to make a difference. I’m in the education sector, but I’ve done a few other things as well, particularly in reference to payments systems. To cut a long story short, the system that was created was vetoed out by *******card.., but the vision still holds true: “to make a difference”
So, the vision: “Create products & services that are of value, empower parents, teahcers and students to take control by informing them (especially math, that what I do) in a simple and easy manner.”
In, the UK, the education system is in dire straights. What I want, is to change it! Will I do it. Of course I will, but it make take time.
So from my part, thank you. Some of the material I’ve listen too so far, is exactly what I needed to hear. I really don’t know how I found this site, but I did.
And you are absolutely correct on one aspect. The money is not as important as the vision!
Kind regards,
Garrick
The presentations have been spot on with my early reactions to another program I started over a year ago, but which made presumptions about background and ease of taking on this challenge. Coming from the abstract world of IT, the onslaught was overwelming to get the hang of how to do something that is fundamentally quite the opposite, emotional in its execution. Your requirements of some technical willingness and learning to think like a marketer were exactly my conclusions back then. Hopefully, this presentation will be an asset in breaking it down to baby level details. Nonetheless, I have read a half dozen copywriting books in the meantime. For one not in a business, the vision is to continue to feel around, build essential skills to highly functional level starting with affiliate marketing. I am vulnerable to new interests faster that I can do them justice so it is likely more substantial things will evolve. For now it is command of as much of the skill set and ways of this world as possible, practicing the niddygiddy details applicable in many situations.
My vision is to have a successful online business centered around my two passions which are Personal Development as well as Religious Studies and related information products.
My target markets are both in the Spanish and English speaking countries.
I will work from my ocean view place in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico where I will be taking care of my mom. At the same time I will have enough free time and financial affordability to take several holidays a year.
I will work around 20 hours a week, and my business will bring around 1 million dollars a year with the ultimate goal of retiring at
the age of 60 with a net worth of 5 million dollars.
I will give out to the community by supporting several children in under developed countries through “World Vision” as well as building a medical centre and an animal shelter in a poor neighborhood in Mexico.
My vision is to bring good customers together with good businesses, affiliate with specific micro-credit non-profits around the world, to raise awareness of more effective parenting techniques and to vacation with my loved ones several times a year while remodeling our house and yards. To better my community and the world: and reflect the ideal of Malcolm X, who taught me that there can be no peace without prosperity. Thanks, Eric
Eric…
First off, thanks for the lessons.. Not only learning a lot about online marketing, but a lot about myself and my dreams as well !! My vision is this:
To have a successful online business that not only is profitable for myself, but also to serve as an example for others to follow, and to help them with their dreams, as you are doing with us. To be able to say to my wife, “Honey, you no longer have to work”, and to provide my grandchildren with the best life that I can provide for them…
My vision is to open a home for unwed mothers and care for and help as many as I can. I would also like to relocate with my family to a less urban area on 10 acres or so and do it all debt free.
What’s up Eric?
Before I get into my vision, I would like to thank you.So thank you, it’s nice to have someone to actually take the time to show newbies the ropes and try to mentally prepare indivduals for their tasks at hand. Oh and by the way I just got done typing the definitions from lesson #10.
Anyway, my vision is to create an online affiliate business for now that is successful. Eventually become a wholesaler after i find a product indemand that has not quite hit mainstream online. Part of my vision is to provide a better life for my family instead of the apartment we currently live in. To never have problems with my bills again and also put this construction life behind me. As I see my vision I don’t just see the happy, beautiful light at the end of the road. I also see the trials and tribulations that may crouse paths with me. So as I look from 30,000 ft. I also vision a determined and relentless individual who no longer wants to settle for a life he doesn’t enjoy but would rather be happy and successful.
Once again Eric I just want to thank you, you open my eyes to alot.
Hi Eric and everyone,
Thank you so much for the wealth of information and the ease of understanding. I have been looking for something like this for a very long time.
My vision of success has been clear for about a year, and I feel that I am truly on the right track to achieving it soon.
When I learn how to make 100k per year, I will start with quitting my full time job. I will spend around 20 hrs weekly on working and apx 20 hours volunteering. I would like to teach others how to be successful starting with dear friends and family. I will help my 97 yr old grandmother to live out her years in peace and happiness, my mother and Father will also be helped.
I will eventually make enough money to establish a no-kill animal shelter in my community. Another project I have in mind is to acquire a large area of land to build environmentally happy communities of earthbag houses. People can live there and learn how to live sustainable lives.
One method of income will include: (Review)Websites which promote high-quality, affordable “green” products and services.
I want to provide a reliable, clear and practical guide to help people to improve their own lives and the health of the planet.
Hi, Everybody,
First, Thank you, Eric, for this excellent series of lessons. I only wish I would have gotten started on them a bit sooner. But then again, all things in their own time…
My vision fulfilled looks like this:
I have a several thriving businesses, most of them focused in internet marketing. These businesses range from selling products to sharing information–but the one thing they have in common is their purpose of in some way help others step toward accepting and sharing their innate genius and goodness in ways that prosper them and the world.
The success of some of these businesses is so great that I have actually received shockingly large buyout offers on them. And even without these offers, they are earning $2,000,000 or more per year after only a few years.
These businesses allow me to enjoy doing the kinds of work I greatly enjoy, but they also allow me to give back to those who have need. Indeed, some of my more successful businesses do nothing but make money that is in turn used to help empower and galvanize those who might otherwise be unable to become and share the best selves that they can be.
Though I love my work enough to gladly do it more than full-time, I give myself plenty of chances to play and re-connect with the Source of my own Grace-given abilities. I get to enjoy my home, family and cats with lots of little trips and the like, and I also give myself time to enjoy reading and writing for my own and others’ entertainment.
These businesses are successful enough that I am privileged to work with awesome, smart, good-hearted and good-humored people. Our work together is filled with lots of trust and laughter, and even better, what we share with each other we also gladly share with the rest of the world…
So, that is what my fulfilled vision looks like; I look greatly forward to continuing on with these lessons. Thanks again, Eric; you and your work are a wonderful blessing.

Make over 1 million dollars a year before 4 years.
This is my first response to this program. Ater searching for a good free course for a very long time to learn how to get started with online marketing, to date,this course exceeds all my expectations. For me it’s truly a God send. I have so much to learn. Thank you Eric!
My vision right now is weak but it is to make 500,000 to 1 million a year online offering something of value.
Not being an overly pretentious person, I want to be debt free and have enough money to enjoy a comfortable retirement. Own a decent car, live in a tastefully decorated modest home, continuuing education, (never too old to learn LOL)and see the seven wonders of the world maybe.(at least the Grand Canyon) With money you can help family and friends get ahead and there are many causes for helping others I could become very passionate about (disadvantaged children, the homeless, working towards a green planet,renewable energy etc)
This is the life I want to live. Now for fine tuning how to accomplish it!
And, thank you again Eric!
Eric,
Thank you for the excellent lessons. My husband and I listen to them every night.
Your assignment is easy because we have had it in mind for a long time.
First we want to be debt-free. We have a way to go on that.
Secondly, we want to relocate. I was born and still live in a very hot and dry place in the US. We have had the highest temps in the US lately with no rain in sight. My vision is to get out of here and live in North Carolina or Virginia in the cool mountains. I want to build my dream house on a few acres and be able to sustain it with my online business. My husband and I are teachers and although we love teaching, it’s time for a change.
I’m not limiting the amount of income I expect to make. Several million a year would be nice but if I could make more, great!
Im a 41 yaers old latino and first i wanna apologize abaout my english im in the process to improve it. My vision is be a better person in all areas and that include financial, be a exmple and inspiration for other people specially for people lake me: foreigner, whit english as a second language and whitout a status in this conutry, If I can everybady can.
I want to a million dollar in the next 12 months.
MY VISION, I WOULD LIKE TOO PAY OFF MY BILLS, GET CAR, HELP MY DAUGHTER……..GET OFF DISABILITY
Hi Eric
I have just started listening to this teaching.
I am getting excited even though I know nothing about the computer business. I have been a private-duty nurse for several years with medically fragile kids/adults. My vision is to have a web site business to teach and market products for these people/families. My vision is to make enough money to be able to stay at home and spend time with my teenage girls whom I have had to leave to work 50-60 hours a week. I would like to be able to provide in home care for my Dad who is in his later stages of Parkinsons disease. I have a lot to learn but you are correct about the vision part. If I can’t see it I can’t achieve it. Thanks for your website.
My vision is very simple…I want to provide a service or product that will enrich peoples lives. For the first time in twenty five years I am unemployed so I am taking the opportunity to start over in something entirely new. The whole concept of internet marketing is very exciting and I am looking forward to learning from your expertise.
I do not have a dollar amount in my mind that I want to earn annually, but I would like to contribute to my families welfare as much as possible.
Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge.
My vision is to establish a website where millions of people can go to and find the best products and programs available to create wealth. Create a list like yours Eric is a dream of mine too. It’s great what you do. Thanks! 3BestMoneyWebsites.com
my vision is to have a successful online business in selling a product or two. Make an income that will allow my wife to stop working and live in her dream house. I also see myself teaching others to build their own fortune online.
Hey Eric You stucture these lessons quite unique,I am very impressed. My vision though its not crystal clear yet, I WANT to change my hole being,To become a perfessional (CEO) OF my COMPANY and improve myself ten fold.I have been dreaming for over a year to have successfull online Business that I can be proud of. I know that I need to focuss on my vision,and look deeper into my sitution and change my atatude to think positive for my vision that I can achieve because that is my inner dream.Marketing online is everything I want and need in my life.I have felt that my life seems to be slowly getting better all the time.I want to be proud of what I sell online.
Eric,
I have already started an online business, but have not sold anything yet. I have tried to make it to where people can make an offer on a product they want. I thought this would help out people, as well as help me with sales. What do you think about this, and how can I get people to find me and trust me?
Vision: I will set up several sites that deal with products that will help people financially. These maybe through affiliate programs, membership, or discounted products. I will have five sites up in one year generating $250,000.00 in profits. I will develop new ideas to sell niche market products to the right clients in the right way. I will build a list of 2000 members to help. I will create my own website and blog and upload them to a server. I will set up a capture page with a free product to help people online. I will understand about marketing and be able to think like a marketer, when presented with new ideas and innovations in the market place. My income will grow from my other business, which is Creative Streams Art & Design, and I will grow my business to where I have to add employees to take care of it. My online business will be fully automated and profitable.
Hi Eric I’ll have small vision and large vision. My small vision is become debt-free, get off disability. My large vision is own and operate,large laundry mat combine with a barbershop. That my motivation
My BIG picture vision includes making internet income of 5,000,000.00 in sales each year thru EBAY. I would like to travel more with my kids and wife. I am going to give to the charities of my choice. After more freedom, I would like to be debt free and stress free. I’d also like to help my family. I want to purchase a new home for my family.
I want to have several other streams of income also other than ebay . this also includes affiliate marketing .
My Vision for this business, to get myself in a financialy secure position, where my wife do not have to overwork herself,and we could actually start a family. I live in south africa and everyday I see more and more young children begging at traffic lights, they are there in the cold of winter with barely proper clothing, not getting any form of education, and it makes me very sad seeing them there. I would want to affect the lives of the suffering when I am in the position to do so, I want to not just give them a quick hot meal but influence them with positivity. So that they may also find a vision.I have also dreamt of having my own yacht. Thank You Eric for these videos I never thought I would come across an entity such as you…
Hi Eric,
My vision I suppose is quite simple. I live right now in the Czech Republic and am living on £50 per month and want to create an online business. The strange thing is that I think that after you have a certain amount of money the rest is just numbers. I am aware I do not know how to create a website and know this must be a pre-requisite although I would love to succeed without one. So, overall, my vision is to be comfortable and able to do all those things we dream of like vacations,cars and to work but not out of necessity.
I got lots of dreams, but I’m focusing on right now to become financially free and help others become financial free. Also I would like to be making $500,000 a month in the next two years so I will travel around the world helping charity organizations I believe in. I’ve written many goals down but these are the two I’m going to focus on for now.
Hi Eric!
You are doing great job! Thank You very much!
First of all I’d like to say what I believe in.
I believe in the energy of good will.
I believe that if many people with mutual goals get together (even online) - there dreams WILL come true 100%!
Now i’d like to speak out my visions and join the party.
I see myself a successful online business owner and investor. I have a structure of 300-400 websites in different areas of internet marketing, such as FOREX robots and expert advisors promotion, fitness and health, work from home and personal wellness, membership websites, gaming and adsense websites. These websites generate for me passive incom of 10 millions of euro a year. I spend minimum time maintaining this business to pay more attention to my family, we travel a lot and we all are healthy and happy people.
I’d like to establish a Privet Foundation to help abandoned children and give as much help as possible to orphanages and homes for old people in different countries - I believe that society can be happy ONLY if happy children and elderly people.
Fewww! Wow! I did it! I wish everybody here (myself included) there dreams, wishes and goals come true ASAP. Our goals are good, so as we are and - guess what? - God helps us!
Thanks again and good luck to all of us!
Wes.
Hey Eric,
The vision for my business is to become the #1 source of encouragement online for Christian women…
As of right now, we are so underserved on the Internet. I have the passion and the determination (and the awesome program) to meet the need!
Website launches in 2 weeks…wahoo! Thanks for all of your help.
hi eric
my vision is to have a succesful health and fitness business and to be completly debt free and to travel when ever i wanted to, to meet new people to see the world wow i cant wait the pictures clear in my head.
I’m a 51 year old out of work plumber.I would like to have a video web sight to express the views of the everyday worker.It makes me mad to watch tv and see how “THE MAN” is screwing the common man!It would be a fourm for people to express their thoughts and ideas on todays dire topics.Along the way I could make enought money to assure the well being of my childern and grandchildern.Times are tough on all of us and we need to be heard!
Ok here goes…I want to build a website that will give informaton and recipes for people that are on gluten free diets…as I am,by way of ebooks and a clear understanding for the family members that are not, with an open support group online. I will be making $100,000 per year to start out and growing from there.
I see myself going into other fields that are close to me and those are to help further colon cancer research…my dad died with that almost 13 yrs ago. My other dream is to build a facility that is for patients that have Alzheimer’s with an online and personal support group for family members.
I would like to be able to be debt free and able to give my Mother the care she will need when she reaches the last stages of Alzheimer’s.
Finally I want to be able to buy or build the house of my dreams in the middle of the country and pass my “millions” to my neice’s and nephews.

Yo Eric. Great tips! I think the first sale is the hardest anyone will ever make because life just snowballs from there. My vision is to allow people to invest in sites without risk so as to build wealth without reliance on the share market and/or property market, while leveraging my own efforts and that of my enthusiastic staff (at the time).
Jim,
I didn’t know until I was reading that you and I wrote close to the same vision! I too am an a very restricted guten free diet and have been all my life! We will be in similar fields!
Good Luck and God Bless!

Never have to worry about money again.

Hi, Eric,
Our vision is to have an online store that is not only successful but is also an unique shopping experience. We see ourselves being able to give back to our community in many ways. We are planning on some exotic vacations & remodeling our house. We envision at least $600,000 to 1,000,000 within 2 years. I personally am going to take classes on the net & get myself a new car!! We have plans to open more sites within a year (if not sooner). I am enjoying your tips & wish I had found them before I put our site together…. Thank you & keep up the great work!!!!
Erik, thank you for providing an opportunity to learn and re-educate myself into what I need to do to become successful. I realize that my input here today is way down your comment list and well after the fact, however, today begins anew my commitment to the statement below. Again, I appreciate your wisdom and trust that we shall meet in the future so I can shake your hand and learn even more.
Today, August 10, 2009, I am writing out my personnel vision for what my business shall become. This will begin the positive steps, goals and achievements I expect to see in my life because of a desire to accomplish them.
I see my experience of online marketing to position myself where others trust that my wisdom can assist them in achieving their own goals. The Eagle Flight Marketing Group business is well respected and known as a trusted entity that others search out for to grow themselves. I am happy to provide them directions and goals that fit with their largest desires.
Because of the success that I am enjoying, I have purchased my motor home and am traveling around the United States playing golf courses. No matter the importance of the course name, I am playing all types. Because I am there, others are attracted to why I am there and are constantly asking what I have accomplished for this pleasure. To be able to assist them in understanding this also provides much satisfaction.
My golf game is enjoyable even though I am not able to beat Tiger Woods, but at least I have been able to compete with him several times. I have locked horns with his foundation to assist kids in seeing a world within themselves without limits. These kids will be a testament to the power of positive thinking and a belief in themselves for unlimited accomplishments.
Speaking at several conferences regarding my success has also brought me much satisfaction. I am meeting people of many walks and accomplishments as well. They not only share their ups and downs but listen to mine as well. We are able to communicate on many levels due to mutual trust and experiences.
As success continues to pursue me, my golf game is strong; my assistance to others is strong and several people seek my advice to improve their particular situations. They provide me much inspiration because each one is unique in their life experiences; in ways that I have been an inspiration to them and what they have learned along the way has provided me much inspiration.
I spend each evening highlighting the days experience and the people met in my journal. After I have left this earth with much happiness, the journal is utilized to continue inspiring others to accomplish much more than I and their journals do the same for generations beyond.
Living a fulfilling life that provides a trail of strong, independent thinkers, and many action takers is my gift to the reason that I was here. I will have enjoyed meet each one of you and know that we have influenced each other for the betterment of all.
Eric, I want to join all the others in thanking you for these wonderful lessons.I sincerely pray that in taking them we all are better equipped to achieve our goals and live the life we should be. I am very confident that here I will get the foundation I need to ‘make it so’. thanks again, Gayle
MY VISION
I see myself with multiple online businesses. Some will be working in the realm of hand made wood working and wood products. Some will be based in real estate. Others may be affiliate programs that are as we speak helping me to get jump-started. I am sharing these adventures with my daughter who will continue with them when I am no longer able to. We live in a large energy self-sufficient, but no extravagant home with plenty of room for extended family and a nice garden. I earn $250,000 a year and have started a charity organization that benefits American families that need a boost back up. I have offline ventures that also help others by putting them to work helping my business grow while they learn to branch out on their own. And after just two years I have managed to make all this happen by working long and hard for 3-6 months and then letting my business do most of the work for me so I am able to work 20-30 hours a week. I spend time with my grandchildren and help raise one of them. I take 2 major and 6 mini vacations a year. And now, I am ready to start phase two!
Eric this is my Vision to succeed
Please note that I have had finacial investments fail but more have succeeded. Once I was 22 K in dept and renting my Burbank apartment and at one seminar I listened and took action to get out of dept then purchase my first FHA home and kept it and worked hard overseas as an Overseas Supervising Animator for Hollywood studios. I then invested in Phuket realestate that went bust on me but I did not give up. I then invested again and it worked out and this is the land that I envison will be the niche market for my lovely Eco Friendly Resort starting with 2 only.
My vison is to create multible websites covering our many services includig Eco Friendly Tours, Organic Gardens,Thai Culture,Sports events,Gourmet Health guides,Honeymoon and wedding opportunities,Family services.My sites will be used as a platform to launch some of my later related products via links including e books and promotions.About the money ? I will not put a Dollar sign on it I will just say I love what I do so the sky is my limit.
Dear Carol,
Your vision is noble and it touched me.
Best to your success Barry
Starting a successful internet business. Efficient enough that people flock to it. (Need good hook). 30 day vision, generating $7500.00 month 90 day vision unlimited. Reaching $500,00.00 the first year. Being able to help our 6 children to a more affluent life. Travel to the ends of America, then the world. Never having to worry about finances again.
Hi Eric, My personal goal is to become debt free so I can pursue more interesting opportunities than are available at my current job. I love learning and experiencing new things. I want the freedom to work in any location that has a good internet connection. I want to spend more time with my Mom who is getting ready to retire. And I’d like to have some repairs done on my house.
I never want to stop working, but I’d like to work on projects that are profitable to me, and at the same time, help others.
At first, I want my company to earn $500-$1000 a month…and support itself. Then, I plan to
set milestones of $25K-50K…I have no upper limit set, but I eventually (2-3 years?) I would like to pay off my debt and get out of the steady 9-5 rat race. This involves discovering opportunities in internet marketing and learning to capitalize on them. I will have a number of websites but I am still not completely sure how they will come together…
It would be cool to brand my own product.
Hi Eric,
I am one of those folks downsized from thier job.My goal is now and always has been to make enough money to help others,and my sons.I want to show all the people who doubt me that I can make it online.I am going to make a ton of money and be able to travel and see the good old USA. Aiming at 2 million.
My vision like alot of those that have written before me is to have so much money that I do not need to worry any more.
One can be rich in many other ways than having money but it sure does help when you have not got any!
I want a passive income of 1 milion a year, so I can have time with my family, horse ride travel and have enought money to spend on the big charity projects I have in mind as well as
( I would love it if a tele marketer asked me “will you donate $20 to this charity and me being able to say no I will donate $1,000″) I want to sponsor children in Africa and take my disabled daughter there. and much more too long to write here.
To make $260,000 NZ by March 31st 2010
To have a Maltese website up and running in the next month which will generate some income and write 2 ebooks about Maltese.
I will have another online business that brings in the money but I do not know what that is just yet. This is where you come in.
Thank you, thank you Eric you are a saint to bring balence and sense into the world of hype of internet marketing. I am almost broke and dispondant trying to make money over the internet.
Eric:
Wonderful lesson and great assignment.
My goals have recently changed quite dramatically having lost a job I had hoped to have forever. It would have allowed me to live comfortably but maybe not enough to “live my dream”. I have lofty goals I once thought unattainable.
Long-term I would like to start a sustainable project for the people of Haiti. I have done some medical missions there and the spirit of the people is incredible, for their situation. Attempts have failed in the past due to corruption, no doubt, from the extreme poverty. I have seen projects that while admirable, collapsed in a short while. My belief is that the people need to start with the very basics which aren’t glamorous: digging latrines, getting rid of the sewage and waste in healthier ways. Starting co-ops and offering short-term loans to people to be able to gain a sense of self. Now, to do this I must have some capital of my own!
My short-term goal is to gain a working understanding of this thing called internet marketing. I see myself utilizing my love for writing as being a very integral part. I still don’t know enough to know if it is better to focus on one thing and master that or be more diverse. Since I have had a tendency to diversify myself in my nursing career it seems natural to want to do that. I also realize I am a good starter but not such a good finisher so I must find individuals who can compliment my skills. Therefore I absolutely must find businesses where there is a strong team component. Whatever I get into must be ethical and match my value system to a certain degree or I would fail miserably. I don’t think it is unrealistic to expect to be a millionaire in my lifetime but my goal for retirement is to be situated closer to Haiti in a warm climate knowing my needs are taken care of and my projects in Haiti are being funded.
Since searching for areas that interest me I am drawn to email marketing, some affiliate marketing, and possibly copy writing. There is no doubt I can be successful if I keep my goals upmost in my mind.
I look forward to the challenges ahead and thank you for sharing your knowledge in a kind and caring manner.
Hi Eric;
First let me say that I’m 67yrs. old. already retired (both my wife and I she’s 67 also)we’re living on social security, a small pension and a part time job that I have. We pretty much live month to month with not much left over at the end. We are also raising a little 8yr old girl who was left on our door step and who we have legal custody. Having said all that, please don’t feel sorry for us.
Remember that I’m 67 yrs old? Well I’m into teaknowdo, been doing it for about six months now and love it, I also love aviation, started flying in 1974, stopped, started again in 1995 got to solo, stopped, have not gotten my private licence yet. My Vision, is to achive that life long dream, to help my family and to leave somthing for Rafaela before I die. So, I think that I’ll concentrate on starting an afiliate business, i would like to generate around 550000.00 per yr this would allow me to buy my own plane that would come with a house with a hanger and airstrip. Do you think that an afiliate business could generate that much money. Ok, this old man needs to stop talking:)
Hello Victor,
That is a wonderful vision. Affiliate businesses have been that successful in some cases, so why not you!
My vision is to build a business who earn the money to support my family,my study,my travel plan around the world,able to raise fund to support charity event, buy a house, a car…etc
I wish to build a business ,that not need to wake up early,work until late to earn those income.Have time with my family and leisure time with friends. I wish to do a business which can achieve my personal goal ,also could bring benefits to others.as the result of the business.
About the annual revenue,aiming for $1 million.
thanks Eric for your kindness to share your knowledge,experiences to others like me who really hope for that.
Eric,
thanks for the information.

My vision for my future is sticking this out,
Learning as much as I can putting it all into practice and make enough to help others do the same including my three children and 9 grandchildren. My greatest goal is to have freedom and not be tied down to be able to spend time while I am alive to smell the roses and share funloving time with family and friends to do this I need a very good income when I reach 200 thousand a year I will be able to accomplish this and help as many people as I can I have always known I was here to help others but didn’t know how I now have my goals on my fridge in full picture and am hunting them down.
Thank you for your help.
It’s this kind of lessons that make your cours very special,trust me.
Thank you for all
Jerry
Eric, the time you have taken to share the importance of building a foundation for this business has been a help to me in my attempt to see the “big picture”. I have several goals in mind, and am trying to take whatever steps necessary to meet those goals. Since I have a full-time job, the time I dedicate to my business I treat as the time I spend at a “second job”. I have to keep this mind set to reach my goals. The distractions of normal everyday life are always there to draw me away from my goals, so I am dedicating time before and after work to my “second job”. With the help of others who have already been there, I am setting and achieving goals one step at a time. A bit of good advice I would like to share: An instructor likened the “big picture” to an elephant, and asked: How do you eat an elephant? The answer - One fork at a time. All that being said, here are three of my current goals:
1)I would like to be making $500 to $1,000 a month in 3 months.
2)I would like to be making $3,000 to $5000 a month in 6 months, and quit my current job.
3)I would like to be making at least $10,000 a month after one year of business building.
I want to see myself with no money worries, and be able to give time and money to others who could use my help. Thanks for the good advice and direction in your videos. We all need to hear it. Amen to that!
-Dwayne-
Thanks Eric,
My Vision is to make up my laser site fully functional and reaching mostly hair care professionals first of all. I want my site to generate at least $500 000 within the next 2-3 months. I want to reach the point where it can feed my family fully and award those having helped me efficiently to get the site functional. Once this site is rolling and generating income with no more than 5 hours weekly from me, I want to concentrate on the manufacturing of other type of lasers machines for animal care. Then make a site for that and sell these machines through that site. Then once these businesses are rolling, I want to study more and become much more competent in helping others in their business. That is my dream in life.
My vision is to have an on line business making enough money to become debt free.I have several health concerns that I would be able to address without the worry of where the money will come from. I would also be able to help the people who are dear to me and the ones that where there when I needed a shoulder to cry on and never ask for anything in return.
My vision is the preceding one that was submitted by Anonymous I failed to put my info befor I wrote it. Excuse me please!!!!
My vision is to have successful online businesses that revolve around internet marketing, video teaching and coaching sites in my native tongue; I will work from home and spend a lot of time with my love ones. With this online business I will give livelihood to those who need it. I will work hard to make my business earn $1 million or more per year. The greater part of my income is for my ministry to the Lord God who enables me by providing me wisdom, strength and favor. Eventually I will pass this business to my love ones.
I have always had a vision and a real feeling that i should be living a better life and that i am destined to live the dream lifestyle. My first phase is to get my online business to the stage that it is bringing in $3500 per month and i am looking to do that within the next 12 months or sooner.
Within 2 years i want to be bringing in at least $500,000 per year. By that stage i want to be working a couple of hours per day or week. i see myself in a nice large house with 2 - 3 acres of grounds. The most rewarding part of this dream is that i can help to make sure my wife and 2 sons are financially secure for life. I see myself being able to provide my wife with the sort of life she deserves. We have a saying in the UK “if you aim for the ceiling you might hit it, but if you aim for the stars who knows how high you can fly”
Hi Eric, my vision is to create enough of a successful online business to employ my own kids and theirs. When I go at least I have given them a better future.
Eric,
My vision is to help other people get what they want and in return, I would like the pride of owning my own successful online business for financial freedom, but more for the pride of success. I want to accomplish something that few people ever do. I would like to be able to help my community by giving my time and money and still afford the luxuries of life. So far, your classes have increased my hope substantially. Thank you for the valuable information. As Dale Carnegie says, “help enough other people get what they want and eventually you will get what you want”. So far, that seems to be what you are doing.
Again, Thank You,
Gene
My Vision is to separate my self from my parents in 3 years. Build my own house and have a stable income from the online business that I’ll be nourishing after this course. ^_^
Hi Eric. Good one this time. Vision to suceed. I had that since when I don’t know. Still nothing, so, teach me more.
Hi Eric
Great lessons, finally someone who makes sense and tells you that it will take hard work and effort to make an online business work.
My vision is to start affiliate marketing have tryed it a few times but it always confuses me but this time it will work. I will have 2 ebook stores one selling general topics, such as cooking, gardening and other things, the other selling ebooks on alternative therapies, crystals and such like. I will make an income to start with of $6000 a month building up to $1.5 million over 2 years. I will work around my little girl and provide for her university fees and put money away for her so that when she turns 21 she will have something to give a start in life. I will also be able to help my family if they are struggling. I will be debt free and be able to enjoy my little girl growing up, and working on my allotment with my mum and stepdad. I will have a old 4 bedroom house with a big garden for her and the dog to run about in and will take a holiday 3 times a year.
Eric: Just finished lesson #13. My vision: overall to have online income enough to 1)give God’s love away to others as a gift. I am a marriage and family counselor and would love to offer “almost free” services to couples in crisis.
Goals: 1-6months= making online income $25/day
6-12months=$25-50 daily
1-2 years $100 daily
2-3 years $150 daily
quit job at $5k monthly and be debt free in 7 years….Blessings Eric
Hi Eric
My vision is to have enough money to be able to help out my family and friends when they need it. My family comes first befor anything and to be able to say how much money do you need, and when they say. I could use about 3 or 4 thousand dollars and be able to just give it to them Or say to them I’d like to take you all to New Orleans for the Mardi Gras.Anything like that.
What I’d like to do with my Business is to go Green.To do things to help the planet and to help people find products to do the same. Like building your own Wind Generator or solar panels to power your house. How to make your life more Comfortable without paying the power companies all kinds of money. To actually make money off the power companies by selling the power back to them.
I’d love to be Rich, but if I can’t be rich. I’d like to be comfortable enough to do what I’ve never been able to do, Which is to be debt free, to buy a nice Car, (cash) to travel anywhere and most of all, To help out my FAMILY.
Thats it.I don’t think it’s to much to ask for.
Once Again
Thank You Eric, for all the great TIPS.
Mark
Hi Eric,
Thanks for the step by step lessons.
I am widowed, 67yrs old next month, and still working (self employed woodworker). My vision is to develope an alternative annual income level of £500k per year by October 2012. Also to meet another lady to share this with for the rest of my life. This will also allow me to help family, friends and favorit charities to seriously good effect.
Well Eric, I am still trying to find myself! I really have gotten a lot out of your lessons to date,and I really look forward to getting more into the meat of this course! My vision is to find myself,plan my business, and above all succeed as a result of your kindness to be willing to teach us all the proper way to start an online business!
All The Best,
Jason
Thanks for all the lessons Eric! You are really encouraging.
My vision is to have an online business, and only work on it a few hours a week. I see myself making no less than $1 million a year. I wanna help foundations internationally, for poor people, communities, and even countries. Specifically, I want to help foundations that send missionaries to East Asia or something like that, and organizations that evangelize, or reach the most unreached people. I also want to be able to play a lot of music, and help and support other musicians.
Thanks for everything.
Abraham.
oh and one thing I forgot… I want to spend A LOT of time with my family, and not worry about debts, or anything like that. Pay my house all at once, my children’s college/university when they get there, but all at once. I don’t want to owe anything to the government or any bank. So that’s about it =)
My vision is to have an online business which earns over 1.2 million dollars each year. I will start with affiliate programs and then create my own products. I will volunteer my time. I will associate myself with organizations and activities that will improve the world and individuals lives for the better. I will spend a lot of time with my family and travel the world.
My first goal is to make my first sale within two weeks of starting. Next would be able to average one sale a day until I can generate $3000 a month or $100 a day. I hear the first $1000 is the hardest. My long term goal is to be debt free and get to the point where I have the pleasure of giving at leat 20% to the Lord’s work since I believe everything we have comes from Him. I want this business to support my wife’s amd my passion of antiques. We have an antique store and it has been a labor of love but not the most profitable in this economy.
I want to be free of the worries of paying bills and the daily expenses of life and to be able to do what I want to do if time and money were no object. Then I can help others achieve their dreams. I’m a firm bneliever in Zig Zigler’s belief that if you help enough other people get what they want out of life you will get what you want.
