I find myself wanting to tell you so many things but sometimes I just can’t figure out a way to properly structure and organize everything I need to say.
This morning I decided I’m just going to tell it how it is
So here it is…
This is my mind.
This is ‘Jay Styles’.
The internet has presented an opportunity unlike no other in history. The internet is still relatively new and it continues to change at lightning speeds.
While this might sound a bit overwhelming at first, it should be absorbed as quite the opposite actually. With change comes opportunity, which basically means that as the internet continues to grow, so do the opportunities surrounding it.
There are literally a million ways to make a significant amount of money online.
You no longer need to be a big corporation or huge multi-million dollar business to make it in this world. There are tons of people starting businesses today from their garages or in their kitchens that will be the next big thing in years to come.
It’s about us now, the people. The internet has given us the opportunity to compete with the likes of other people and Fortune 500 companies all at the same time… I mean look at me.
I grew up without anything. I didn’t even have the privilege to go home to a mother and father like most of you did.
I grew up in the hood. Brooklyn, NY was my stomping ground and let me tell you it wasn’t easy. I have seen poverty first hand and it’s something I wouldn’t wish upon anybody… ever.
So how did this kid from Brooklyn start competing with the big dogs online?
My first internet-based venture was pretty simple…
I had a company in China to send me some sample Mini Helicopters and after setting up a cool looking landing page to sell them on and sending some traffic to it, I was making more than I ever could have working a career (even with a degree). I couldn’t even supply the demand for these things… and they were just RC Helicopters!
What about when I as using MySpace to promote affiliate offers and pulling in over $50k per day? Did I have some huge corporate building with 100’s of employees?
No, it was just me and my laptop.
What made my business thrive? Customer Service
When I couldn’t keep up with the orders, I had to call most of my customers and tell them I just simply didn’t have the stock in hand. I offered them a refund but most of them told me they’d wait.
They were happy I had given them that personal connection that most businesses didn’t, and it made them feel even more secure in their purchase.
That’s why the internet is such a powerhouse. It is this giant infrastructure of communication. You can reach your customers and connect with new ones through all kinds of different methods. Twitter, social networks like Facebook and Myspace, blogs, email and more…
As the internet grows, people are buying more merchandise and services from other people rather than giant companies. They want to talk to someone… not something.
Most people are only one thought away from being able to tell their own rags-to-riches story. You can import products all day long and make more cash than you could have ever imagined. You can create an information product covering something your good at or a hobby you like and make good money selling that information to other people.
It’s all about thinking outside the box…
If you can’t think outside the box you can copy one of the many things I’ve already shown you how to do in some of my products I’ve released and still make a sick income by simply copying me!
I mean seriously, anybody can tell you I’m no Einstein.
I’m not some Harvard Scholar that got my Doctrine in 12 different subjects.
I’m a high school dropout. I have a G.E.D. and the only reason I have that is because I needed it to get into the Military back in the day.
Even without an impressive resume of my educational achievements or a list of companies I’ve worked for showing how I climbed to the top of some corporate ladder by gaining rank in modern-day Corporate America…
I still managed to create a full-time income selling mini RC helicopters out of my bedroom.
I still created a business on MySpace that made me $50k a day on almost complete auto-pilot.
I still somehow built a multi-million dollar affiliate marketing business that makes up to $100k per day by simply testing and doing what worked over and over.
I even created a software development business that has grown so significantly over the past few years that it was featured in the Inc 500 in 2010 as one of the fastest growing companies in America simply by taking ideas and turning them into systems that help companies each and every year automate their business and lessen the daily work load they usually face.
I’ve made millions of dollars and built multi-million dollar companies…
How?
By simply taking some of my ideas and running with them. I never stopped running. I’ll never stop running either.
That’s why I’m here. That’s why I’m telling my story.
No matter what the circumstances are that are currently surrounding you, no matter how trapped you feel in your current situation – you can think outside the box and create any life you choose.
You know how your parents told you that you could be anything you ever wanted in life?
Why can’t that be true after all?
You can create a business from an idea and live the life you have always wanted.
I am here to help you.
I have been in a bad situation before. I was in what some call a “bad situation” for most of my life actually.
I am your living, breathing proof that ANYONE who wants to change their life can do it.
Take my story as your inspiration.
Read my blog posts as your motivation.
Copy my ideas to avoid procrastination.
Keep grinding and you WILL change your life.
To your success,
Jay Styles

Thanks for sharing bro! This is awesome and is very inspiring. I grew up in similar circumstances and from most peoples perspective, the odds were against me with succeeding in business. I am going to challenge myself to think outside of the box. I am bookmarking this and look forward to reading it again when I want to get fired up.
Thanks for waking up this morning and thinking about others. Great testimony!

I have some new training that will be posted on my blog. Stay Tuned!
Hey Jay.
Two things,
We are humans, it’s all about the relationship, and relationships are all about the dialog and keeping it “real” (even if packaged and automated in autoresponder, + replay).
As for potential yeah..impossible to fathom, Imagine a firehose full on, now scale that torrent to the size of a ..then to the size of skyscraper…provided the force of the stream didn’t rip it from your hand, it would only take a small cup put in the right space to get a years worth of water to drink.
Replace water with dollarbills, and that’s what happens everyday on the internet but most can’t see it, and most can’t reach it. Clickbank alone routinely does 1M days just pushing bits and they are a small player pushing many crap products.
1M is 10 years of a degreed laborer, and more than majority of americans retire on…10 years in 1 day.
And that’s still on the firehose part of the spectrum, you know the waters in which we play are massive massive, while the size of crew required to reach them..fit into a small bus.
Not buying your shit this time around
but I will see you down at your event.
Yo Jay!
Just short note to say how important your message is to those just starting out in business – not just online business – any business.
As you know I’m an old dog and been around the block a while. Seen things and done things – with half a brain, the grace of god and occassional fortune on my side, I’ve done well.
If I was to boil down the core traits that got me where I am today – and will continue to take me where I want to go – it’s what you talk about about here in this post.
Well done bro. It’s been a pleasure meeting you in SD. I’ll be back in your country soon and this time we have to have that “big night out” you keep promising me!
Keep smiling mate.
Cheers
Prash

Prash, Thanks bro! It was great hanging with you in San Diego.. Sorry i couldn’t hang til the end. Next time ur in diego we’ll do it up for sure. Smiling i will
Jay — this post is something that every aspiring web entrepreneur should read. So many people are being sold on the idea that they can purchase a piece of software, push a couple of buttons — and affiliate checks will arrive in the mail in two weeks.
It just does not work that way. Your advice of “hard work” and “think outside the box” is right on. I must confess, the “thinking outside the box” part is something I need to work on.
