There are thousands of superaffiliate-wannabes out there. Everybody wants to make 200K+ bucks a month and get living on a heavenly-island. Unfortunately the real superaffiliates are not so many, but they really live lives others only dream about.

Paul from Uberaffiliate.com knows what he is talking about. He is well known superaffilaite and runs a very useful and inspiring blog about affiliate marketing and online business.

I know that a single salary is never enough for a person to get a real and satisfying life. Unfortunately all good things on the Earth are not free and you got to have cash in order to live your dreams.

But what if you still want to taste the life but you are working 9-5 and have only one small stupid salary? Basically you have the following options:

• Find another job with greater salary.
• Work hard and get promotion.
• Quit work and start your own business.
• Marry a wealthy person.
• Winn the Lottery (or break some Las Vegas casinos).

May be you are not comfortable with these options? May be you feel that a better way should exist? You are right. There IS a smarter way to make more money and double your salary as a start.

I was taking my daily reading time at Entrepreneur.com when I’ve saw their Hot 100 List - the list of fastest growing companies in United States. I was just curious to find who is the hot internet business company and I’ve checked that industry section.

It was interesting for me to know that my payment operator - 2checkout.com - is the hottest e-commerce company of Entrepreneur Magazine.

You can read the full profile of the company or visit their website.

This finding made me feel good that I am using the cutting edge payment solution at the moment. Actually I work with 2checkout since 2004 when I’ve set up my first account with them. They have made a lot of improvements since then and I am glad to find that they already support accepting PayPal payments.

Maybe you think that you need to be 50-years old or even older in order to become a millionaire. May be you think you should own Iraq to be able to make a lot of money. Stop thinking crap. You can become a millionaire in a few years starting today. This is not my hallucination. It is the real life.

Every year Entrepreneur Magazine publishes an article about young millionaires for the previous year. This is my favorite articles category and I read it with great interest. There are already 11 issues including Young Millionaires 2007.

This year Entrepreneur Magazine has presented 13 young millionaires. Their projected sales are vary from $4.6 to $220 million for year 2006. The youngest is Jacob DeHart (25) who is a partner with Jake Nickell (27) in their enterprise Threadless.com, which main activity is online T-shirt design. They are located in Chicago and have $25 to $30 million projected sales for year 2006. This is nice, isn’t it?

When we talk about business plan we usually think about huge folder with at least 150-200 pages of small-size font text that contains your entire idea, concept and plan-schedule for running a business. I agree - there is such business plans… But for you as a home/online/double-salary entrepreneur writing a long-long business plan is simply a waste of time.

You need something that works for you. And you do need a plan, but a short one. What to do in this case.How to break the rules of business-plan-writing and produce something doable without killing hundreds of trees?

All of us know that we have to take care of our finances in order to make our money grow and make ourselves as rich as possible. But it appears not so easy to manage our finances. I have been working on improving my personal finances system since year 1998 and I have tried a lot of systems, tactics and ideologies. Some of them were practical, others - stupid. Some of them needed a lot of work and I have thrown them away. Others were too simplified and weren’t suitable for me.

After these years of research and tests I have found for myself three key-ideas that make every personal finances system valuable and effective. If your system doesn’t have all the three key ingredients, you can be sure that you are going to leave this system sooner or later and it won’t work for you.

In this post I will reveal these three points and will give you some examples of how they work and why they are so valuable.
