2008 Here We Go…
What NOT to Do To Become an Internet Marketing Megastar 
If you haven’t heard from me personally in a while it is because I haven’t been focusing much on my web business.
My last blog post was in October and I haven’t personally keep touch with my email list except through automated email to new signups. That’s bad 
Sure, I’ve been doing the maintenance to make sure the dosh keeps coming but other than that it has been stalemate here. That’s the good thing and the bad thing about this business - you don’t have to be working everyday once the initial work is done.
I worked hard for the first couple of years but everything is mainly on auto-pilot now. Not great if your discipline level aren’t top notch(To say the least 
). Where I differ from those who fail is that I kept at it in the initial stages - most give up before they even get there.
The megarich in internet marketing are non-stop. I don’t know if I would want to be like that. The whole point of working from home is to have freedom. To be pinned down to ANY business or job just isn’t for me. Why work from home if you spend even less time with your family and doing the things you enjoy?
If you have been following my online progress for any length of time then you will know that from time to time I disappear…lol…you don’t hear from me in a while.
I’m aware of this but up until today I have been unable to combat this. I get too easily bored with online business. Maybe I lack enough passion for the business!
I am going to try to reinvigorate myself for 2008:-)
In the meantime if you have any tips on how YOU keep yourself motivated I’d love to hear from you. Use the comment field below or drop me an email to mal@[REMOVEBEFORESENDING]malkeenan.com
So keep your eyes peeled and I’ll try to keep you updated on how I am growing my business in the new year.

Hi Mal,
thank you for your honesty. Tonight (it is about 2.00 am in Europe) your post is one of several which show a total new flavor presenting business and the marketer himself. You might have gotten the one from Stone as well which put a smile on my face.
My feelings towards IM are quite similar at times - it wears out - but I´m not quite a year old and far from having automated everything, let alone made enough for a living. I know it takes time and patience and a lot of work. But I have the confidence that 2008 will be a great year, especially if we marketers communicate with more honesty and less bs. Let´s fight the scams and the lies in IM so people who want to join us can develop
trust right from the start.
All the best for 2008,
Nirupama

Hi Mal.
I totally agree - I don’t want to be a non stop internet marketer either - I prefer to enjoy the life of working from home and take it easy sometimes
Hope you have a fantastic New Year!
Cheers,
Suzanne

My fourth day of interest in this area. Looks promising. Hope all these folks are on the level. Am much to old and worn to get kicked around anymore.
Have been praying and trusting HE will show me the right ’site’ to sign onto.
Have a wonderful New Year and may the good Lord bless you whether you want Him too or not……..
