It is very tempting to embrace a money making idea, quit your job, throw everything into it and try to make a fortune. However a word of caution, this is seldom successful!

The Million NZ Dollar recommendation is to first dip your toes in the water, splash about a little, then slowly move your foot in, then your leg, rest of your body and finally become fully immersed.

Set yourself small but easily achievable incremental targets each month, and then do whatever you have to do to achieve them. (Legally of course!)

My previous post about exponential growth is available here.

It is easy to expect too much to soon, however you will only disappoint yourself if you take this approach. So see how you go for a couple of months, then set up your future targets from there. Remember if you set unachievable goals, you are asking for failure. Be realistic, achieve reachable targets, and enjoy the feeling that success brings.

If you cannot make a bit of money on the side, the chances are that even if you devote 5 times as much time to it, you are still going to struggle. For myself I will not quit my job until I can almost earn close to the same amount of money from my online endeavours that I earn at my Day job.

If I look at my exponential budgets and graphs, retirement is however now less than 32 Months away, and we all know how time flys.....
