3 awesome success stories in online business Part 2

Time for some hope (probably you have heard of her before you will get motivated if you read on)

The second success story am about to tell you comes from IRAN!

Yes believe it or not!

Her name is Ladan Lashkari;and she has overcome some extreme obstacles in her journey to make online business and internet marketing. There are political, economical, and religious obstacles that make it difficult for anyone to be a successful internet marketer in Iran, and in most cases even more difficult for a woman to do so. But I'm not going to get into the details of the specific political and religious barriers that many women face in Iran because that's not the subject here!

The story started with her being very interested in English and liked to read any English book she happen to find, she wanted to be independent and generate her own income. And later when her family bought a computer she tried all kinds of business teaching windows, graphic design, website design and programming in C++.

Ladan was able to make money from those avenues but this just was not her ultimate goal and she knew there were bigger opportunities out there. At 16 years old she first discovered internet marketing through the Cory Rudl's website. She bought and studied his internet marketing course, along with other eBooks and resources.

Ladan believed in her self and she really liked to work in this field of business, though her friends and family tried to convince her that becoming successful internet marketer in Iran is next to impossible. Fortunately Ladan's father was the only person in her family that supported her and believed in her. Ladan did not withdraw and the resistance increased her insistence on the road she was going through.

After about a year of learning and studying the business, she launched her first website, Jumping into business forced her to take her English proficiency to a new level. For a long time it was difficult to read and comprehend the many technically-oriented eBooks that she acquired. And it took her about 6 hours to write and revise an article. And even more she wanted to write her own sales letter! And that's even harder because being good writer doesn't make one a good copy writer.

Today if you Google Ladan in the internet you will land on one of her websites and if no body has already told you, you will never know the fact that she's from Iran her English is great, her copy is great. And she make sales yes!

She has recently made $6300 in one month; this is higher than 95% of the people in her country.

Ladan is planning to leave her country and live in some where she faces no barriers to her business.

Some of the barriers people in countries like Iran and many other countries have in working online are:

• Not being able to have a VISA Card: no one can be successful internet marketer without his VISA Card being charged several times a day
• Pay Pal is not available, and if its available it can't receive payments this is really a problem (I have this problem too) it's like doing business with your hands and feet tied.
• Not being able to open a bank account in US dollars, more over in some countries not being able to use US dollars (it's forbidden) like the case in IRAQ prior to 2003.
• In addition to being from 3^rd world countries you are far away from discovering internet marketing and being fluent in English. It's just like swimming against the river.
• More over the effect of politics on the opinion of people about your online business, (i.e. there are many people who confuse politics with their daily life responses) that will make it hard to make business with them.

The barriers I mentioned above are a few of what are in reality, Its not the place to go in deep with them. What Ladan's story tells us is that patience and hard work pays off, and what ever your circumstances are now you are better than millions who try to get into this business and can not just because of Political , Cultural or financial causes.

I liked Ladan's favorite quotes from Ross Perot,

"Most people give up just when they're about to achieve success. They quit on the one yard line. They give up at the last minute of the game, one foot from a winning touchdown."
