I just returned from a big hubbub conference for online marketers in Nashville where I met more Internet millionaires there than I can shake a stick at! These newly wealthy people came from every imaginable occupation where they’d earned an average living but had a below average quality of life.
One evening I joined a group who were discussing the benefits of their new lives, compared to their old. It was wonderful to see them laughing and enjoying life.
“I can sleep in now! I never used to do that. For over 20 years I got up while it was still dark and slaved away for someone else until it was dark again!”
“I wasn’t present to my kids—even when I was with them! I’d go to a soccer game, but couldn’t enjoy it because I was consumed with work the whole time!
“Agreed! The money is great, but for me the best part is time with my family!”
“I was living paycheck to paycheck—barely making it! I so full of anxiety I couldn’t sleep at night. I was stressed out all the time! Now I have freedom—and time—and money to enjoy my life!”
“I made a decent living, but I didn’t have a life! My whole life was my business—always putting out fires. I envied my employees because they got to go home at night.”
“I live the life of my dreams now! I live in my dream home, I can take time off and travel… no money problems! No problems, period!”
“I love the freedom I have to do the things I’ve always wanted to do. I just got back from a missionary trip in Venezuela. I went with a group from my church to build a medical clinic. They all had to get back to their jobs after a week, but I got to stay for six weeks—and made more money while I was serving than they made while they were working!”
“If everyone knew how we do it, they’d check out of the rat race in a heartbeat!”
“Here! Here!” said everyone at the table, all heads nodding in agreement. I smiled as I listened to them. This is the way it’s supposed to be. Work should be a joy. It shouldn’t suck the life out of your life. My new friends spoke of how difficult and expensive it was to get started in the expert business. Yes it was worth it, but they hated the process.
When I shared how I’m giving quick, easy and affordable entrance to the good life to Christian leaders I heard…
“Where were you five years ago?”
“I wish I’d gone to you!”
“All the information in one place?! What a concept!”
“You’re giving away all our secrets! Well, it’s about time! Getting started was a nightmare!”
I said, “It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a long time, and I feel like a liberator now. I’m giving overworked, unfulfilled and underpaid professionals a Get Out of Jail Free card!”
“Here’s to freedom!” said one of group. And everyone raised their glasses to toast a better way of life.
