So as a result lot of people have become suspicious about the concept of fun when related to business. If they're having it, they think they had better stop, and get serious instead.

But I notice that people who do make money on the net on the whole have a lot of fun doing it especially those that make a lot of money.

When talking to successful internet enterpreneurs it's clear they can't understand why people have such a hang up with having fun and choose instead to build a proper bricks and mortar business or a drudge job.

It's almost as if we are expected by society to work our butts off until we reach retirement and then retire. Most of us in almost poverty with barely a few dollars in our checking acccounts and our IRA's.

But if we look at people who enjoy making their money they seem some how happier, more content and on the whole more wealthy than their over worked brick and mortar business building counterparts.

Consider the possibility of making a serious amount of money on eBay.

Most people fall into two categories here: those that believe that they need to muster some kind of superhuman capacity and those that believe that they cannot begin to compete with the big fish in this giant entrepreneurial pond. Both end up in the same place. Unsuccessful.

This is the biggest challenge for those who coach others on doing business on eBay. What they come up against is a level of seriousness that stands in the way of the fun that is an integral part of any virtual business.

Those who make it on eBay have to be creative; they have to be thinking outside the box. And, the thing about seriousness is it's a great big box that people get stuck inside of.

"I think a lot of people think too big to start," says Chris Lakey, one of today's top Internet marketing professionals. "They think they have to have everything figured out..."

When I questioned other top players on eBay the one thing they all recognised as being a commmon trait amongst most newbies was they feel overwhelmed at the possibility of running a business potentially turning over millions of dollars.This means rather than looking forward to such opportunity the reaction is more one concern and worry.

"The most important thing is just to get started". This is the mantra from those that have succeeded. You must have the capacity to think big but you must be content with starting small and going slow until you have it down.

So why don't you start having some fun and get started making some money on eBay today you might be surprised at how easy making money and having fun can be?
