Do you feel like one in a million at work – and not in a good way? When you run into your boss in the hallway, do you get the impression she isn't sure who you are?

This morning I woke up at 4:30 in the morning, as usual, poured myself a cup of coffee, as usual, and thought about what my son said to me yesterday evening. You see, he's 2 1/2 years old and talking quite well, for his age. When I came home from working all day I was greeted with the always joyous "daddy's home, daddy's home" but today, this greeting was followed by "daddy no you go to work!". It's amazing what a 2 year old can know and understand. So, as I sat and thought, several things occurred to me. #1, I hate having to go to work all day, #2 my son hates me going to work and #3 at least 1/3 of my life has been dedicated to earning money. None of this was sitting very well with me. The last realization really repulsed me!

A passionate commitment to pursue one's interests builds the foundation of so many small businesses. No matter how resolute business owners are in achieving success, Forbes and many entrepreneurs have failed to realize that passion alone will not produce a thriving company. Many have turned to the Internet and e-businesses as their first step towards independence. The Internet has matured since the 1990's. It has grown and evolved into a mecca of self-employment possibilities for anyone willing to add a little elbow grease. Along with all the positives of this new Internet era came a boat load of new business hopefuls. These newcomers wanted the opportunity to follow their passion with minimal financial risk. The downfall of most e-business entrepreneurs is, without a shadow of doubt, the infamous GRQ- Get Rich Quick scam.
