Is it true that our current era presents more opportunity than ever before? Joel Comm is sure of it. Because of the constantly rising number of people using the internet, the relentless evolution of technology in our lives and the amount of mobile devices we use, our access to new clients is never-ending.
Joel Comm says that although the world is full of constantly opening new possibilities, “your niche is determined by who you are”. Doing what is important to you, following your unique calling, is vital to your success. And to determine what your calling is, ask yourself three simple questions:
- What am I passionate about?
- What is the one thing that makes my heart beat, the thing that if I could do nothing else for the rest of my life, I would choose to do?
- What kind of talents and skills do I have? What do I know, what kind of knowledge have I acquired? -Joel Comm (an interview Christopher Howard did with Joel Comm, 23.06.2010- The Academy of Wealth and Achievement)

Joel Comm is an entrepreneur, teacher, internet marketer and multimillionaire. His passion—communicating with others—enhanced by the internet to reach as many people as possible, is what fuels his success. He is the owner of seven businesses.
He started his first company when the internet exploded in 1995. Backed by his background in computers, he easily transitioned his business to the internet.
In 1995 he bought his first domain and registered a business: worldvillage.com. The origin of his idea came directly from his interests that he had at that time—young parents looking at the products that their children bought—so he built a site that would review software for kids from the parents’ perspective. Everything changed nine months later when a Japanese company contacted him to license some of the content that he was producing for a Japanese website. It gave him his first contract. It was easy to carry on from that point. He set up company after company and built more content sites and online shops. Joel Comm is known all around the world and regarded as one of the top internet marketers of our time. What he says is that if you want to be profitable, you should think about what the market wants and provide it, and then build a business that will be there for a long time. What you need are solid values of your own.
Some of the values that build solid foundations for Comm’s success, happy personal life and fortune are:
- believing in personal uniqueness, individualism, and teaching people the importance of developing their own dreams and building upon them; in other words, listen to your own calling.
- being eager to learn something new, to expand into new areas, to have an interest in experiencing newer, more difficult markets; his success gave him the fuel to try something new.
- knowing that real fortunes are created by following your own passion, he does not “work”, he simply does what he loves to do
- believing in a long-term endeavours, thus creating either companies or communities based on values of truth and honesty
- focusing, not allowing yourself to be easily distracted
- an abundance-type of mentality: happy to share, sharing your value with others, and being paid for that
- caring for the community
- honesty
- competitiveness
