The internet is the dawn of a new age of wealth generation. Vast fortunes are going to be made from the internet in the coming years and countless more middling sized fortunes. Will you be one of the people who participate in this new wave of wealth generation?

1848 to 1855 roughly one hundred and fifty years ago this country saw the California gold rush. Regular people from all over the country swarmed to the gold fields of California to get their piece of the American dream. This event spawned many other opportunities for people to build a future for themselves. Towns and businesses sprang up everywhere. Many fortunes were made by common everyday people. It was a momentous event; truly a golden moment in history.

Fast forward 1998 to 2000 the home computer is only just beginning to gain acceptance: by and large most people don't have one. The internet is in its first real growth spurt. Web pages are very basic left aligned text on white pages. The typical office network is a floppy disk carried from desk to desk, sneakernet. Only a handful of people see the vision of what can be. Technology is laying the foundation and ushering in the next real boom. The world is about to make a quantum leap forward and we are on the brink of the next real golden moment in history.

Ten years later 2010 the desktop computer, the laptop, the Iphone, the internet is with us in our car. Some cities are implementing public WiFi, you can sit by the pool and surf the web. Shopping and even banking are done online. You can watch the latest movies streamed over the airwaves on your Iphone.

Ladies and gentlemen; welcome to the next Golden Moment. The shape of the world has irrevocably changed. A new paradigm has supplanted that of our fathers. Curiously it has happened without anyone taking any real notice. One of its effects is that everything has speeded up, we are busier. It has even modified our lexicon, given us new words like "multitasking". People haven't looked up from their daily lives to see the change that is taking place around them.

We have entered a new age and for the average person this only means it's easier to go shopping or pursue other leisure activities. Some few however recognize that this new age has brought with it opportunity. At every turn vast fortunes are laying about for the taking simply because no one has recognized them. They're not gold nuggets but they are indeed golden. Today there are roughly 2 billion internet users worldwide. That's a rather staggering number. To the entrepreneurial type it can cause shortness of breath and hot flashes. The entrepreneur now has potential access to 2 billion people. The internet has created a virtual market place unrivaled by anything the world has ever known.

Even now people are making amazing sums of money from the internet and this wave of technology is only in its infancy. There are high school kids making 6 figure incomes from the internet. Literally anyone can open up shop on the internet and their potential market is 2 billion people. Any percent of 2 billion people is a fortune.

Open your eyes to the opportunities before you; recognize the times in which you live. Your fortune is just lying out there waiting for you to pick it up and run with it. We are living in THE golden moment.
