Hell. I am new here.

[Michael Ten]

I bought the book a few weeks ago. I've read a lot of it.

I've been trying to start an online business for the last 7 years about. I'm going to keep at it until I either die of old age or have significant success.

Welcome. Nice heart.

7 years is a long time. Elaborate more about your successes and failures?

Welcome to the forum!

Hi there...definitely elaborate on your attempts, and also how hard/how much time you put into these. Would be interesting to know and learn from. Good luck and keep shooting for the top.

Welcome to the forum! What type of online business were you interested in? What have you learned from your failures? What are you going to do differently in your next online venture?

I've mostly been trying to earn money with AdSense over the last few years. I think in the book, that is referred to as being a passenger. I think that I need to change it.
I've also been trying to sell art through Etsy.
I've been working on a membership site recently.
I've also dabbled in affiliate marketing.
I've had minimal success with all of this.
Over the last seven years I have worked at various jobs and obtained two degrees (in psychology).
I need to change some things and fast or else I'm going to be working another 9-5 job again probably fairly soon.

There's nothing wrong with working a 9-5 while working on your business on the side. Once you figure out the changes you need to make in your business, executed them AND when revenue covers your bills then you could quit. Of course the real test would be once you have a 9-5 if you are disciplined enough to work on the business 6 to 10 and on weekends. This is part of the process. Also try to focus on one thing at a time. Work on improving, testing and executing.
