Whether you are retired, planning to retire or not not even thinking about retirement, having enough money is one of the most important keys to having a successful and happy life style. For most of us, having enough money is second only to good health on our list of wants. And most of us continue to look for ways to make extra money or supplement our income.

Almost 100 years ago, Wallace D. Wattles said in his book "The Science of Getting Rich" that "No man can rise to his greatest possible height in talent or soul development unless he has plenty of money". Considering that a person lives by using things and it takes money to get the things we need or want, his statement is just as true today as it was a century ago.

With the state our economy is in, a lot of us have lost so much that postponing retirement or continuing to work in retirement is a fact of life. You can still play the stock market, or if you have enough time, do nothing except wait out the downturn.

There is a ton of information available on retirement from sources that are free or low cost from your local bookstore or amazon. But like a lot of other things, getting and applying the information is two different things. It is easy to get distracted by all the information available.

There are lots of ways to earn more money and a home based business certainly has a lot of attractions. You can make money by starting your own home based business, an online business or by getting a job on-line. One of the keys to having a home based business is knowing what you want to do and how to start.

I've learned that there are a lot of ways to make money on the internet. But, you can waste precious time and a ton of money doing research (or searching) to find some direction. There are a lot of people selling programs that work, but if you don't know what you want to do, you can jump from project to project without making any headway.

A home based business is just like any other business, you have to put in enough resources (time and money) to make it work. Regardless of what you see on television and the internet, if you put six or eight hours a week, you'll have a hobby. If you put in enough time to learn how to make a system work , you might have a successful business.

There are a lot of scams and get rich schemes out there and it's hard to sift through the hype to find the real thing. Do your research and a system you like. Article marketing, affiliate marketing, selling e-books and pay per click are some ways that can be successful. Some methods like pay per click are not free and can easily get out of control. You can use ebay, craigslist or become a wholesaler to sell things online.

I've dabbled with on-line business models for a long time and only recently considered using the internet as a full time business. I've learned that everything takes time and effort. Like a physical business, you have to find something you like and learn how to use it. Stay focused, don't give up and your chances of success are much greater. Remember though, There are never any guarantees. and just like with other businesses, the failure rate is high.

The key to success then, is to find a business model you like, stay focused on your goal, didicate the time and necessary resources and above all, DON'T GIVE UP...
