Why John Chow?

Why have I chose John Chow as my mentor for internet blogging?
Keeping it short and simple, I saw his blog talked about on CarloCab (a 13 year old blogger) and decided to look him up on the internet.
What I found was someone that seemed approachable, humble, and human.  Going purely on intuition, I downloaded his ebook about going from zero dollars to $27,000.00 in two months.
Of course, I figured that it would take some real effort to follow his advice and try to make money online from blogging.... and I almost didnt do anything about my secret desire to make even $1.00 dollar online, but when I read something John wrote in the ebook, it changed my life.
John made a statement that loosers dont like to fail, so they dont start...(my paraphrase).  I had never thought of it that way.  I always thought that winners dont like to fail.......
Wow, did I ever have an eye opener about that statement of John's.

I decided right then and there to 'just do it'.  Do what?  Well, read the ebook and do it!  It might flop flat on its cyberbelly, but, at least I wouldnt be a looser anymore by not doing anything.
Following Johns advice, I set a goal. I set a time limit, and I took action.

The entire month of September has been devoted to experimenting online (in front of the whole wide world) with setting up a website, gaining a domain name, starting a blog (based on Johns ebook and implementing it), and eventually monetizing it....
I do not have wild expectations of fast race cars, or mansions of gold.  I have no preconcieved idea of a dot com lifestyle that so many talk of.......
What I do expect to achieve is a monetized blog, with my domain name, that grows into a product of information about what I learned implementing John's ebook.  I may add critique now and then, which I see as invaluable to anyone in this field of blogging because what you are learning here is from a complete newbie...
What I write offer's you a view of what an average person, with almost NO computer knowledge, (other than point and click and surf around experience) goes thru in attempting to blog and monetize.
So, why John Chow?
Because he seems real..... like me.
