Benjamin Franklin -
Inventor. Socialite Playboy. Statesman. Liked Beer.

Henry Ford -
Revolutionized industry with the assembly line. Built Fords. Built black Fords and you damned well better like 'em that way.

Ronald Reagan -
Destroyed communism. 'Nuff said.

Lance Armstrong -
Beat Cancer. Stuck it to the French by winning their precious Tour seven times and did it without all of his body parts.

Ashley Qualls -
17 year old girl from Detroit. Builds pink girlie myspace templates. Owns her own company, is CEO, and earns $70,000 a month from Google AdSpace revenue.

Yeah - I thought that last one would grab you. Reading about Ms. Qualls in the latest edition of Fast Company magazine was a real eye-opener. She just bought her mom a $250,000 house. Makes you want to plaster valentine brush stamps and pink bunnies all over your next corporate site doesn't it? Yeah, me neither - but I might for $75K a month.

Such is web 2.0. We are fortunate to be living in such a time today where the next innovative idea could have you set for life. Remember that idiot who charged companies literally by the number of pixels in their ads? Everyone thought he should be committed. We all stopped laughing when he netted over $1,000,000 bucks and paid his college tuition in cash. The digital equivalent of the 70s pet rock could net you a fortune.

Why can't I be the next online success story?

I have the Adobe Software. I have the desire to succeed. I have the determination to get things done.

I have no clue where to start.
