For the longest time, I wanted to start some kind of online venture. Each time I had a plan laid out and was set to go I’d think about the money and would lose hope of ever making serious cash. I couldn’t work out how I would go from making $0 on the side to making thousands a month. So I stopped.

It wasn’t until I challenged myself to simply make $1 outside of my 9 to 5 job that things changed. I no longer had to deal with the demotivating effects of thinking about making huge sums and I could focus on the simple task of making $1 outside of my job.

It quickly became a game I thought I could win and five months after starting my affiliate site I made my first $1.

Here are 5 things I’ve learned from focusing on making my first $1.

#1 — You Can Trick The Brain

Trying to wrap your head around the idea of going from making $0 a month online to thousands is too overwhelming for the mind if you’ve never done it before. It can quickly send your brain into stall mode where you don’t see the point in doing any thing.
