Diane Hughes is the founder and President of HNB Resources.
She is 24 yrs. old. At the age of 20 and newly married, she began a search
for home jobs.
After a long search and many headaches, she decided that working for herself
was the best way to go.
Diane did a tremendous amount of research, eventually developing her own website.
With little money, no HTML experience, but a lot of desire, she got her site up
and running. Her first site was at Freeyellow.com.....and that was where she
also got her first HTML lesson.
At the time she was earning only $50 - $100 a week. Looking back on that time,
Diane says: "WOW! That was so exciting for me!
$100 a week in my spare time on my computer. I got the
laughs of course, from my husband and family, but after almost 4 years on the
net, learning new things everyday -- I currently bring in 5 figures every month.
Now I'M the one laughing!"
"In no way should you expect riches....keep
your goals high, but make sure they are realistic and achievable. Don't
get suckered into the get-rich-quick hype -- I've tried them all and you will
only be digging into YOUR pocket to feed a business that will not work.
YOU have to work!"
"There is no easy money.....yes, things are
automated and much easier now that I am established, but I stayed up MANY nights
and worked LONG hours for over 3 years until I was able to settle down a little
and enjoy my success --- all this while STILL working a full time job!"
I kept my full-time job, even when I was making 3 or 4 times my salary!
I was just too scared to quit my STABLE job and lose my STABLE income. Finally
after realizing my business was growing beyond what I could handle while still
juggling my job, I put in my resignation. I do not regret it one bit because there have been NO lapses in my income -- it's only been
growing....but like I said before, it's still HARD WORK!
Diane's last comment is full of encouragement:
"Find something you
believe in, if not your own business. Work, work, work and learn, learn,
learn. It will ALL fall into place, I promise you. You just need to
believe in what you are doing and put your skills into action!"
"Success is measured not by what you do for
yourself,
but what you do for another person's self-interest"
