Alecia, Stan, WR, and Lynne ... welcome to JV Notify Pro.
Though I had a Marketing background when I first tried my hand at Online Marketing back in 98, it was most certainly a shock when I realized how much I had to learn.
Back then I was working 8 - 10 hours a day, 6 days a week ... offline. I spent a long time sleeping 4 hours or less in an effort to spend as much time learning and applying what I learned as possible. It was no day in the park for me, I assure you.
Now I choose how long I feel like sleeping, and how much time I spend on work ... it is possible. You get out of it what you put in.
That being said, all the best to you and yours in 2009 ... let's make it our year!
