Mission Statement: Welcome to jtpratt.com! I'm John Pratt and I want you to know that my web site should help you save both money and time. I've spent the last 2 years trying to become rich online, and I what I found is that there are no shortcuts. It's hard work. I've hit paydirt a few times, and one month I even made over $4,000. I thought I had it all figured out, until the money stream dried up and my "shortcut" failed to work anymore. This site is a work in progress, but mainly what I do is document what works for me and how I'm trying to build a sustainable income online to support my family and build a future working for myself. I spend more than a hundred hours a month posting my experiences and mistakes for you - all I ask is that you participate here (by commenting) with what is (and isn't) working for you, and if you decide to buy or signup for something I recommend, please follow one of my affiliate links. Remember, the only one stopping your success is you!
