OK, so it’s not the best picture of my new hedge. 
I want my hedge to be like a real hedge overnight… five or six feet, healthy, bushy and like a hedge should be. But I know that’s not going to happen overnight. I know it… even though I’m not happy about it. So what do I do? I water the hedge each day and give it plant food once in a while to get it to grow at an optimal pace… hopefully my new hedge will get to the height I want as quickly as it can.
…which reminds me of starting an online business… you want it to throw off hundreds or thousands of dollars immediately. You want that “on the beach sipping cocktails” lifestyle to happen overnight. You know it won’t… even though you’re not happy about it. So what do you do? You help your business grow by adding pages to your websites daily and releasing a new product periodically. One day the business will reach the size you want and it will be throwing off the profits you want… but it won’t happen overnight.
This story reminds me of an article Jim Daniels wrote about his fruit trees in spring 2003. I wonder how well his fruit trees are doing now… and if anyone had started their online business in response to Jim’s article, how well it’s doing three years later… it’s probably successful and throwing off profits.
Don’t delay. Start today and keep growing your business a little bit each day and you’ll see the results over several months.

See Jim, I read and remember your articles.
