Coastal Vacations Director & Business Success Coach, Mike Fern has been looking at hundreds of online business models for many years in order to determine how the average person, with no previous business or internet experience, or those who have tried an online business or MLM and failed, can actually succeed and flourish online.

During a recent interview, Mike said, Its one of my passions to help other people achieve financial freedom and wealth working from home, and sadly most people fail for one reason or another when they enter the world of home business startup.
The world isn't flat
Economist Frances Cairncross' global vision, predicted 10 years ago, appears to be upon us. We seem to live in a world that is no longer a collection of isolated nations, effectively separated by high tariff walls, poor communications networks and mutual suspicion. It's a world that, if you believe the most prominent proponents of globalization, is increasingly wired, informed and, well, "flat." It's an attractive idea, and several books on the subject have managed to attract significant attention, most notably New York Times columnist Thomas L. Friedman's best-seller The World Is Flat. Mr. Friedman asserts that 10 forces – most of which enable connectivity and collaboration at a distance – are "flattening" the Earth and leveling a playing field of global competitiveness, the likes of which the world has never before seen.
Review: Five Online Backup Services Keep Your Data Safe
If you know you need to back up your data, but keep putting it off, one of these online services may help you keep your backups up-to-date.

April 9, 2007 12:00 AM Few people need to be convinced of how important it is to back up their data. However, the way that data is backed up -- and how reliable the backup is -- is just as vital. Imagine trying to restore the one backup copy you have of that irreplaceable Word document or spreadsheet only to find the disk you burned it to can't be read anymore. In my case, I don't have to imagine that particular scenario: it happened to me. I lost over 5 GB of images that I had stored on a hard drive, and my one DVD-R backup couldn't be read at all.
Web vs. Print: Online Successes at One Newspaper Raise More ...
The newsroom at washingtonpost.com, the website of The Washington Post, is not so different from that of a print newspaper, with one notable exception: At a time when newsrooms across the country have empty desks from recent buyouts and layoffs, staff numbers here are expanding to fill every available nook and cranny. Washingtonpost.com, part of the publicly held Washington Post Company, is a success story in an industry where the divide between vibrant online ventures and shrinking print products is increasingly sharp. Although analysts have been studying this conjoined twin-like pairing -- where one twin is thriving and the other is declining, but they both depend on each other for survival -- there doesn't seem to be any consensus yet on a number of key questions: Can online revenues replace print revenues? Does an unlimited "news hole" leave consumers drowning in content? Can a website whose main audience is national still dominate a local market? Donald Graham, chairman and CEO of the company, admits his own uncertainty.
James L. McKenney, at 77; high technology visionary
Technological advances never really startled James L. McKenney, who always seemed to see around corners and anticipate change, from the advent of e-mail and the Internet to compact discs replacing vinyl records. "In 1975, my Dad comes back from visiting Japan and says, 'All your records are going to go away,' " said his son Bill of Lexington. "So, I told my friends what he said, and they looked at me like I was from Mars." The McKenneys, father and son, were not from another planet, but Dr. McKenney's intellectual orbit curved years ahead of most. He created the first online computing facility at Harvard Business School and introduced a computer-based simulation exercise, known as the Business Game, to the graduate curriculum in 1961. Dr.
