You are right. Sadly, that is the template that we Americans are taught right from the start. I really like the 4-hour work week concept.

I fit in to the category highlighted by Greg above – I’m not after anything at all flash like an island lifestyle, just a little more flexibility and no boss!

Yup, over in Orlando! I’ll be at IZEA Fest, always a crazy weekend when you have Ted planning an event with crazy internet marketers, booze and Sea World!

Hey David great post. Didn’t relaize that you lived across the I-4. We should def grab lunch and a beer someday.

Love your points here. What is even more inspiring is that many do not want the island life, but just a life where they no longer have a boss, TPS reports and the headache of traffic every morning and afternoon. This is the allure of the Internet Business.

The continuity idea is fantastic and is the basis for my lifestyle design. I have 2 sites going up in the next 30 days, both continuity. One to pay the bills and one to try and build into something huge. The great part. I don’t need 6,000 – 10,000 a month to live. I only need about 3,000. This means that I only need 100 people paying $30/mo to hit my benchmark. Sounds a lot easier than 600.

Either way, it is possible through hard work and mental toughness. The Internet is not a fly by night business if you want to make it last. Thanks for the inspiring words this morning.

I am in pursuit of a lifestyle like yours. I have reached the phase where I don’t want to work for others but work for myself and help others to do the same. I have been acquiring the skills required to do that in fine style & with the wisdom, help n guidance from senior gurus like you I am sure that I can be the greatest man in my own unique way.

Many thanks for this inspiring and motivated post.
