A little shift and a new start. Any ideas?

[wade1mil]

In February of this year, my car was stolen and totaled. A month later, my boss cut my paycheck by $2k a month for not lying to and cheating my employees. Last month, my girlfriend broke up with me (through a text message - awesome). A few days later, someone stole my credit card info off the Internet and bought some plane tickets to Bangkok (don't think it was the girlfriend). Today I went back to work after a vacation and they demoted me, cut my pay down to minimum wage and transferred me to a different office. I told them to shove it. Back to ground zero.

fftopic:

I tell you this not to have a pity party, but to stress the importance that I make shit happen! I'm kind of looking forward to the challenge. I've started a few online businesses in the past (none within the past 12 months). None of them have ever produced a profit, other than creating basic websites for money. Obviously I'm not doing some things right, and I've made it a point to fix them. I have two concerns going forward, and was curious as to what you've done to satisfy them.

I have some okay ideas, but none have intrigued me so much that I develop a passion for them. If I lack passion about what I'm doing, I'm not giving myself a good chance to succeed. For those of you with a successful business, did you develop a passion for your business immediately, or did it develop after spending time on the business? Was your business idea a no-brainer, or did it take some serious thinking of how to turn it into a business? How did you conceive of your business idea? Were you actively pursuing a business, or did the business find you? What experience did you have that made you think, BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY!

2) Just like everyone else on this forum, I want to have the freedom to do what I want when I want. I want to have the financial resources that will allow me to live my dream lifestyle. I have been humbled over the past few months and realize that I need to learn how to turn a business idea into $100 profit before I can focus on $1,000,000 profit. For those of you with a successful business, what did you do to make your first $100? How did you duplicate it? Was it just as easy to go from $100 to $1,000 as it was from $0 to $100? What mindset did you have? What was your game plan?

Sorry for the long post, and quite possibly the confusion. Feel free to ask for clarification, criticize or whatever you feel could do some good. Hopefully others can learn from this as well.
