I am really left on the spot of choosing between a job or an online business.  I have come to a realization that I am going nowhere if I were to carry on working on a sales job while working on my online business.  It has become dawn to me that I have to choose between the two of them and make it as my career.  I can tell you that the sales job will never get me to my targeted monthly salary of $10,000.  At most, I might get somewhere less than US$2500.  Although the people are very nice, the job is quite challenging to bring in the sales since I am going to create accounts for the company, it seems not to give me the kind of life that I am working towards.

Because of working on a sales job, my time has been consumed by at least 80%.  The remaining 20% is left with spending some time cultivating relationship with my girlfriend, spending some time with my blog and working on online reviews, spending some time with the incoming occasions such as Chinese New Year, Christmas and my birthday, and also spending some time working out on my online projects.  Not only my blog has been affected to be posted less frequently, my sales job itself is quite affected because of insufficient sleep.  When my boss asked me about my progress with creating new accounts for the company, though I have some excuse because of the recent festive seasons I know myself that I am not doing my best in my sales.

I was reading Seth Godin’s book on “The Dip” all this while.  It gives me an idea about Cul-De-Sac and to go for a dip that I want.  I have huge interest working as an Internet marketer.  And my dip is with the barrier of working towards my goal while my income is not fully established.  I know that Seth mentioned about not giving up if I am not stable right now.  But giving up is the way to progress myself forward.  Yes, giving up is also a way of progressing.  Giving up the unwanted areas and taking up the actual step towards my goal.

I must really apologize for not posting on certain days.  I have been posting consistently on a daily basis for the last five months at least.  And it is making me stronger as I am learning and progressing on my reviewing skills and blogging about website reviews.

Last Friday, I had an unexpected minor car accident when I couldn’t control an auto car properly during parking.  I have been driving manual cars all along until I was trying to park an auto car with a punctured tyre and couldn’t control the reverse gear properly which suddenly knocked on another car.  I can tell you that I felt quite bad for the car owners… I can’t do much but to pay for the damages.  This is getting me crazy about my work priority as I have to work longer on a job for more money in order to pay for the damages.  If you wish, you may paypal me to help me a bit to pay for the damage.  I really wonder how much it is going to incur… What a day when I am thinking of turning full time internet marketer.

This sales job has really helped me a lot in tuning my cashflow and to have some savings.  And also I have done quite a lot of reviews this recently which gives me some good income too.  I must thank Carl Ocab extensively for giving me the privilege to do reviews.  I must also thank some of the bloggers who emailed me for a joint venture to write reviews for their blogs.  Lastly, I wish to thank Jacky Supit for giving me the opportunity to write reviews exclusively for his blog too.

I must endeavor to work harder to become a professional Internet Reviewer for all of you! :)

    If i will be the one asked of my choice, i would choose both. Because online and offline work gives me experience that is priceless.

    Both online and offline seems to be quite taxing on your time… Be careful when both need your time badly…

    Dude. I would totally keep both. I like making my own hours, btu i would miss the companionship at the office. I think if I can make my own hours in someone else’s office, that’d be perfect!

    [...] Would You Choose To Be An Internet Marketer Over A Full Time Job? [...]
