That's a good question Mike

The answer depends on many factors including the time and effort you put into it, the direction you choose and the "focus" you have!

Finding good mentors can dramatically help. I was lucky enough to get my "baptism of fire" from 2 pros, Frank Kern & Ed Dale at their infamous Underachievers conference on the gold Coast in Australia in 2005.

I simply followed what they laid out and left my full time job 17 weeks later and haven't looked back since so rest assured it can be done (believe me I am no brainbox or geek either).

I am telling you this not to brag but rather to others confidence it can be done by the average guy or girl!

My brother (who is a geek!) left his full time software programming job a bit over a year year ago to join me (after several years of nagging by me) and we have teamed up online.

It's important to immerse yourself around other IMs as this will help you find your success.
