Making Money Online and Surfing

What does making money online and surfing have in common?  Both have steep learning curves and the rewards take time, courage, practice and patience.

Surfing

The Learning Curve

We have been in Solana Beach, California for 2 weeks and have been intrigued by the surfing community.  We have watched the beginner surfers fall over and over only to get up to try again. These beginners wait for a wave, begin paddling frantically and then either miss the wave or catch the wave and fall within seconds.  We enjoyed watching how passion and courage had the power to conquer the challenge.
