Still skeptical about taking a leap of faith and acquiring your own dedicated server and starting a business blog or website? If the answer is yes, you're procrastinating on your own future success. Nowadays, starting a business on the internet is the move. Yup, the new business steelo is getting up and running online. Even if you have no prior business experience, no college degree, know nothing about doing business online, or what have you, you can still get a good web host and install CMS "content management system" software such as Drupal, Joomla, Pligg, or WordPress "all are free" on your dedicated server and quit delaying on getting organized with starting your online business.

#GetOrganized and Start a Business
If fear is stopping you from starting a business online, suck it up and start anyway. If you're afraid of success, swallow those feelings and press on. Scared of losing friends because you want to start a business, but don't want to lose their friendship? Guess what? If they walk away from you and try to come back later offering their friendship for a price, they weren't your friend to begin with. Start that business anyway and get rid of those negative emotions.
Don't wait until things are right in your life. They'll never be right. Transform your thinking and build a business on the web now. There's a plethora of free articles, blogs, YouTube.com videos, and .pdf files that'll smoothly educate you how to get a business started on the web for next to nothing. An example of a how to get an online business started article can be found here on Entrepreneur.
'Prospering Faithfully'
While there's many more successful webpreneurs "too many more to be mentioned," perhaps this will be sufficient enough to inspire you to start now with no delay. There is no such thing as get rich quick online. When starting and running a business online, you have to put work into it just like a traditional storefront business. This involves creating content daily, promoting content on social networks, sometimes guest blogging on other blog sites, uploading YouTube videos with links in the video description back to your site, PR marketing, and article marketing. If you love what you do, it won't seem like work to you. Agree?
Now that you're inspired to make positive changes and succeed as an online entrepreneur, it's time to do the transformation business work and create lots and lots of content for your blog or website, so you can build your business effectively. Stay faithful and never give up.
