This is a big question because the sacrifices you may be required to make may cover a lot of your life. For example are you willing to sacrifice your free time? Are you willing to sacrifice your spare change? It would be nice if these sacrifices would show a direct benefit immediately. However in most cases if you are new to Internet Marketing, it may take you a while to see anything in return for your sacrifice.

Pretty much anybody who ever tried to do anything significant has had to sacrifice something in order to get it. Very few things are ever delivered ‘on a silver platter’. However sometimes if you think ahead and have a long-range plan, you might mitigate the sense of having to give up something to get what you want.

This can be as simple as squirreling away $5 a week. That is less than or equal to one lunch out or one fancy coffee, and it adds up to more than $200 in one year. If your situation is such that all you can spare without noticing is $1-$2, then do that instead. The point is to save some money so that you have something to operate with when you start a business.

Contrary to the usual belief, it is very inexpensive to stat and run a business on the Internet. Particularly if you compare it to an offline business, you will see you are spending pennies on the dollar in comparison. Probably if people didn’t believe that ‘you have to have money to make money’ which may or not be more or less true, you can start an online business for next to nothing if necessary.

Surely as with all things, if you have at least a little money to work with things can be considerably easier for you. If you can learn how to do things yourself you can save some of your operating money. Then as you progress you could certainly delegate those tasks to someone or something that can save you some time and effort.

The truth is though if you are enjoying what you are doing and are really enthusiastic about having your own business, you won’t see it as so much toil and trouble. Work can be fun and like anything else it is all about how you look at it. So in addition to a plan and some time to build a foundation before you even start, you might want to take some time to build your mindset in a productive direction.
