The Amish religion and lifestyle didn't agree with my inquisitive nature, so I ran away from home at about 17. I wanted electricity and telephones and cars and the freedom to invent.
Some years later my brother, who had also left the Amish, gave me a computer. It had a pre-Mac, pre-Win, pre-DOS operating system called C/PM. A manual for the BASIC programming language came with the computer. When I opened it up, I had a clear realization that I had found one of my life's pleasures.
That was 1980. And I've been programming ever since. Other programming languages I've learned well include Pascal, C, C++, Perl, and JavaScript.
Today, my wife Mari and I own and operate WillMaster.com and several other domains. We've made our living from the internet since early 1998.
Top Tips
The quality of our CGI programs are a major reason for our success. So is our ezine of original and helpful articles, which is a weekly reminder of our presence and our willingness to assist. Real personal service and our quick attention to technical questions is one reason we are recommended as much as we are. What we give away is high quality. What we sell is high quality. We are real people. Our assistance is personal. People like to buy from people they like and trust.
Yet, there is a secret. Without it we would not be successful. And I'm going to let you in on it.
It's something that is often mentioned yet it's value is rarely understood -- because to really understand it, its truth must be experienced.
What I'm about to tell you will not make you a success all by itself. However, without it the road to success, if you make it, will be long and arduous.
The secret is passion. Whatever you need to do to reach your definition of success, you must be passionate about it. If you don't find joy in the very actions that will lead to success, you will probably fail.
The idea of having passion for one's chosen endeavor is not the secret. The secret is the fact that passion is such a powerful force.
