The Internet lifestyle remains a myth to a lot of people. This is ironic in the sense that all we come across online these days are promises of how we can get rich quickly. Promises of how anyone with half a brain can make millions online.

It's a fact that the Internet has created many millionaires. There is no question about that. The sad fact is that most people that come online with the hope of getting rich will never achieve their dreams.

Why did I say that? I will explain in a minute.

There are many reasons why people will not make money online but three of them stand out. They stand out because they are self inflicted. Let's take a look at them.

Reason One: They Are Yet To Start

Hoping and dreaming to make money online is not enough. You have to take the steps that will catapault you to your dreams. The Internet millionaires we all hope to be like are doers of the things that will make them money.

You need to come up with your own offer, your own website, your own blog and so on. If you do not start, you will remain on the same level forever.

Reason Two: They Want To Get It Perfect

No one in the whole wide world is perfect. Not even our heroes and role models. That is why we shouldn't hope to get it perfect before we bring out our own offers. If you want to get it perfect, you will have to wait forever.

We all make mistakes. It's the ability to learn from our mistakes that makes up better. Do not be afraid to make mistakes. There is no harm in it.

Reason Three: They Don't Know What To Do

Making money online is no rocket science. There are loads proven techniques and procedures one can follow. All you need to do is find a teacher that is an expert in an area you want to go into and learn as much as you can from him.

Many people do not want to learn at all. That is a wrong approach. Invest in your online education as that is the foundation your Internet business will be built upon.

See you at the bank.

Grant writing is really a misnomer, because so much of getting a grant has nothing to do with writing, but with relationship building. Some foundations support your organization year after year, and yet have never actually met you! Why not take the first step in relationship building and invite them to come visit? In my first full-time grant writing job, I learned just how valuable this small step could be: to the tune of $60,000 of unexpected funding!

Like every other grant writer before me, I sent an application to a Family Foundation requesting $20,000. This Foundation had regularly funded our organization and their support was pretty much a sure thing; the type of grant that allows you to breathe easy for a change. I had the application ready to go, and gave it to my boss to proof before sending it out. She made one small, yet essential, change to the cover letter: she invited the Board to tour our facilities and see their money at work.

Sure enough, representatives from the Midwest-based family foundation flew out to the East Coast for a day. They were hosted by the Executive Director and the Development Director and were given a tour of our Community Center where they were introduced to the clients that it served. When clients found out that these folks were responsible for funding the programs that had changed their lives, they were not shy about sharing their triumphant stories of making a better life for themselves. We couldnt have scripted it better if we had tried. This truly put a face on the donors dollars!

Overall, it was only a days work from the two Directors, but paid off handsomely in the end. The Foundation awarded us THREE TIMES our request! They were so impressed with the changes that they saw in the people that their money was serving, that they couldnt help but to make their contribution even larger.

If we had never extended the simple invitation to the Foundation to come visit our facilities and see their money at work, we probably would have gotten the $20,000 that year and every year after, never knowing what we were missing.
