If you are serious about being successful in the Internet Marketing field and you are seeking to develop a business model that not only succeeds long-term but makes the kind of income you dream of, then I recommend that you put aside an hour to read this report by Rich Schrefren Internet Business Manifesto.
Rich wrote it mid-way through 2006 but the core elements of his philosophy still ring true four years later. This is a free download with no obligation to buy. You will need to hand over your email address to get the report but that’s all.
A few key parts of the document really made sense to me. The first was that for anyone who is serious about establishing an online business, it is critically important to know the difference between projects and systems. A quote from the report may help…
There are two ways that work should be done inside your business; systems and projects. If it’s an activity that’s ongoing, or something that is done more than once you should develop a systemized way of doing it inside your business.
If it’s temporary, goal directed, has a beginning and an end, and is unique it should be managed as a project.
Another eye-opening part talks about productive and non-productive time. You have to be really honest with yourself when you read it. For example, what would you do differently if you accepted that your time might be worth $7.00 a minute? Yes, that’s right, $420 an hour! If that was the calculated rate at which you earned money would you do things differently?
A good quote to sum up what the report is all about would be:
A Big Business Was Just A Small Business That Did The Right Things…
A Wealthy Business Owner Was An Opportunity Seeker Who Became An Entrepreneur…
I urge you to get the report and invest $420 of your time (to borrow some logic from the report – in other words – an hour of your time) to read it. It’s only 30 pages long, free, and the link above is not an affiliate link, it is direct to Rich’s blog where you will see there are already 400 comments left about how it has changed the thoughts and plans of many Internet Marketing hopefuls.
Once you’ve read it, would you please share below the one key message you got from it.

I read the Internet Business Manifesto a few years ago. It was great, as it does offer the core essentials of an Internet Business. I think it is very important for anyone in a Internet Business to read.
I actually couldn’t find this, thanks for the reindtroduction
No problems Megan and welcome to my blog. I hope I can be of some assistance in some other way, in the future. Michael
Michael,
Thanks for the information. I haven’t had the opportunity to read the Internet Business Manifesto yet. After reading your post I feel like I need to do so soon. Your blog look great by the way.
All the best.

Hi PJ. Welcome. Do download it and read it. It is free and it is not an affiliate link. You only need to give your email address. I have only been getting one email a week by being on that list and there is no high-pressure sales cr*p either
. I don’t mind being on mailing lists when the volume is manageable and the content is not just sell, sell, sell. I dropped by your blog briefly and want to ask you some questions about some of the layout but I will do it as a comment over there.
Hi Michael, thanks a lot for sharing some critical points in business and also for providing the link on a nice blog which can also help us to become more productive. Cheers!
