Hi, my name is William Tan. That's me in the picture towards the left if you want to know and I am also the owner of this NetBooksOasis.Com web site.

In case you're wondering where exactly am I located. I reside on the sunny island of Singapore. "Where the hell is Singapore," you may ask? For those of you who's not too familiar with the location of Singapore, it's located at the southern tip of peninsula Malaysia and we're also a part of South East Asia.

Um mm, a little background about me. I begin my career in Management for some major fast food companies like McDonald's, Burger King and Swensen's Restaurant . After a couple of years, I left and then ventured into the Insurance service industry. I also dabbled in traditional form of business and lost money doing it.

All along, the entrepreneur spirit in me yearns and dream to be successful, making tons and tons of money. I am sure many of us harbor that desire to be rich and successful too, right?

It was this desire and drive that makes me venture online after failing in my offline business. I said to myself, "I would be able to make lots of money right here! There are so many people advertising all these wonderful money making schemes and programs that promises to propel me to millionaire status overnight. Wow! this internet thing must be great! So many millionaires around!"

Boy, was I naive and gullible or what? I signup for any "HOT NEW" program that was advertised, especially when some guru or heavy hitter's name were associated with it. I would tell myself, "Now, I can just seat back, relax and wait for the money to roll in! How difficult can that be?"

Well, you know what happen? Only after some major rude awakening did I realized I was very wrong and been taken for a ride for believing those hype. Some of these programs haves no 'REAL' products and others have plans that only lined the pocket of those who owns and operates it. For some, promises for support and guidance never materialized after I've joined.

Finally I decided to throw in the towel and quit all the programs except one. This program call BizOppAlliance had an Internet Business coaching ecourse going on then. After going through it, I realized that making money online is far more than just signing up for a program and hoping for the best. It just doesn't work this way. There's more to it.

Up till then, I don't have a web site or a mailing list. During the ecourse, I had a coach that explains to me the importance of building my own mailing list. After completing the ecourse, I was even good enough to graduate to coaching status and trained some clients myself. But all good things never seems to last. The coaching program have to end due to profitability.

If seems that folks would rather throw their money at schemes or programs that promises heaven and earth then to invest money in educating themselves with proper coaching and guidance on how to work the Internet. I would never dream of having my own web site or mailing list, if not for the coaching I was given.

And it was such a sad moment when the coaching program ends. I felt very sorry for the thousands who would have benefited from it. The reasons for today's Spam and unhealthy business practices are people who thinks that the Internet is the last Wild Wild West.

Nevertheless, it was during March 2003 that I came across a program call Push Button Publishing which change my whole approach to Internet Business. This program was god-send! It has everything I needed to start my 'REAL Internet Business' at last. And like they say, the rest is history.

Well, I think it's about time you should ask yourself this, "Am I ready to Succeed by DOING what it takes?" Operating an Internet business requires commitment, time, investment (from very little to any amount you wish to invest) and knowledge about how things work, before there's any long term success for you.

I am sure the thought of a business you can retire on and not having to worry about your future is very appealing. I aim for that goal and hope you do too. Lets work together towards this goal because cooperation yields profit and success on the Internet.

I am sharing my dreams and goals with you in an effort to encourage you to make it work for yourself. And, the aim of this site is to help you succeed in your online endeavor too. So welcome to NetBooksOasis.Com!
