The only feature of the handbook which I didn’t find useful was a whole section about the implementation of a WordPress blog. This is only because I have a blog with Blogger.com so have no use for that information. However, a lot of bloggers do use WordPress and don’t seem to have any complaints so who knows, I may use WordPress in the future! The information provided regarding the use of a WordPress blog is really easy to use.

All in all a really good value book with information about how to become an affiliate and affiliate marketing tips to help you build a successful business.

Inspiration Only Goes So Far

Being a successful entrepreneur isn’t like other jobs. You have to fuse action, analysis, and inspiration. If you look at any failed entrepreneurs you might know, you could probably agree with this statement: most failed businesses have, at the core, one person who mistakenly thinks they’ve moved past the “working” stage and into the “ideas” stage.

There is no “ideas” stage.

Bill Gates, once the most powerful man in the world, announced early this decade that he wanted to become Microsoft’s ideas guy. He entrusted the various hats he’d been wearing since the 1980s to people he trusted. He no longer wanted to be the chief grunt, the head decider, the chairman of the board, the spokesman, and so on. He wanted to look at Microsoft from a distance, compare it to that grandiose ethereal stuff we call “the marketplace,” and remain solely in charge of plotting the course ahead.

Bill Gates, once the most powerful man in the world, couldn’t even get what he wanted from his own corporate superpower – at least, not instantly. Years later, he’s certainly the chief software architect, but he’s also still a spokesman, and I’ll bet head man Steve Ballmer still asks his old boss about a dozen tough questions a week.

You’re not the most powerful man in the world. Even if you were, you still couldn’t have total control over even your own business, operating purely from an “ideas” perspective. Being the wisest pontiff, expecting your words to rub off on paid disciples, imagining they will leave you alone, go forth, and carry out your work? It’s a fantasy.

You have to fuse hard work with big ideas. You have to see inspiration correctly. It’s not your whole job, and it’s not an optional luxury. It’s just one part of your unique workload as an entrepreneur, one that you have to attend to on a regular basis, and not allow to become an overrunning cost.
