I cook and I clean. I get groceries and put out the garbage. Wash
dishes, do laundry, mow the lawn, run to doctor and dentist appointments
and pick up prescriptions. I also wonder about my daughters future
and stay awake some nights worrying about her health (she is hemipalegic
and has suffered from life-long seizures and still has life-threatening
seizures).

However, I also own and operate a very successful home-based Internet
business. I publish a popular ezine, have authored one of the best-selling
Internet marketing books around and started two financially lucrative
affiliate programs. My brand new affiliate program is about to be
released.

I started all this a little more than two years ago, when I was in
deep debt after a horrible divorce with just a dial-up to my name.
And I did it on my own as a single parent!

Am I telling you that I'm a SuperParent, or Ultra-
Entrepreneur? Nope! Far from it. I simply knew "I could" make a living
from the Internet and just held my breath until I did it! However,
due to this diligence, I came across some wonderful new friends, who
offered some good advice and more important, moral support.

The "how-to" of all this is much too lengthy for an article and in
fact I address the entire process in my about-to-be-released book,
however, I want to share with you the words my daughter wrote to me,
verbatim (grammar and all) in this year's Mother's Day card:

"Thank you for taking care of me and providing for my needs when i
needed them when mum wasn't there for me:-( Your the bestest dad i'll
ever have you rock! Thank you for looking out for me when i needed
someone, i know i am stubborn when it comes to someone giving me advice
because i guess i just want to figure things out on my own Thank you
so much for giving me all the advice you give me. I'm so proud to
call you my mum and my dad

I love you"

If you're confused, I really AM her mother too.

My name is Rick Beneteau, and I'm a single parent. If I can do it,
so can you!
