The Concept Of Being Rich

I believe being rich is on many people mind and many work their axx off to get to be rich. So was I. I
was thinking of the same thing even before I get to college. Whenever I saw a nice car pass by, I
often wonder what those people do to get rich. To be enjoying those luxury life. Since you are
reading this, I bet you wonder the same.

As I journeyed through college and went to work, the thing with getting rich has always been in my
mind. I spent much of my salary on wealth books and classes. Maybe I got the teaching wrong or
maybe I was too fixated to be my own boss or maybe I was really not the kind of person to work
behind a desk. To follow orders and glue to a chair was never my personality.

But when I first join the make money online industry, I wasn’t told that I need to pay the extra for
marketing, autoresponder, hosting and etc. But I had no choice to continue with the journey
because I was hoping to be rich.

If you follow my blog, AffiliateMarketingBlogMalaysia.com, you will know that I have struggle with
my affiliate marketing business and I have accumulated massive credit card debt during the process.
I even have to drop affiliate marketing and go back to employment to clear my debt.

Regret?
Not really.

The truth was, I never really give up trying to make money online.

I kept myself with the business with small baby steps. Mostly putting in my time.

You see, of the 7 years I struggled to make money online and affiliate marketing, I grasped the
concept that you need to invest hard effort and money in order to make money with it.

Now that I am making good money and ready to hit the business again, I am clearer on what I need
to do. I can’t say that I have the full roadmap plotted out but at least I am more prepared compare
to 7 years ago.

The Real Deal...
But the thing I want to point out to you is that in these 7 years with affiliate marketing, I realize this
concept of being rich is more than just buying a Ferrari or Lamborghini or Longines or travelling first
class for holidays.

Those are the things that were painted to you because that was the easiest way to get your
attention.

If you were told from the beginning that you can lead others to financial freedom or pave a better
lifestyle for others? Will you pay for the class?

Unlikely...

In the course of working to where I am today, I realize being rich is about adding value to others life.
It is like an inspiration that they too can achieve whatever they want when they put in effort and
dedication. It is the opportunities I can give to others because I am in the business. It is also about
the future I can build for myself and my family. Most importantly, it is the how I can lead others to
make a positive change to their life.

I can still remember there was this incidence when I was waiting for employment, there was this
airline opening and my wife was so excited that she said if I got the job, then we could have 40%
discount to wherever we want. At that time, I thought to myself why are we so eager to get the 40%
discount when we can pay full for a 1st class travel to anywhere we want when we are rich? Of
course I just kept it in my heart because I knew my wife was always a person looking for security.

I once read that rich people found security or comfort in uncertainty. I can truly relate. Because
when you are in a state of comfort, you are likely to operate in the limiting circle instead of
venturing out yet it is venturing out that you will have more experience, opportunities and
networking.

In short, to be rich, you need to look beyond the physical.


It is not just about the figure.

Prioritize Your Purpose
That's why you need to start your affiliate marketing business on the right purpose.

I am a recent father. To be utterly frank, I want to give the best to the little one. I believe every
parent want to do the same whether rich or mediocre. But what I really want to give to the little
baby is a platform where he can excel when he grow up.

Too many times have parents told their children to study hard, work hard and earn money for the
hard work.

While I support education, it is not just for him to get a good job. The education is for him to acquire
the foundation to his future.

I know there is no need to trade your energy and trade your time behind a job you dislike because I
make money with affiliate marketing. I want him to at least get his degree because this is how the
world works. Strange enough, this capitalism world we live in recognize a piece of paper over what
you can really do.

If you were to go to a networking session, shake some hands and tell them you are not a university
graduate, surely you will get some eyes rolling. Even though you are making better money than
them. They might think you are with some kind of scam and is there to con them.

That piece of paper speaks credential.

That’s why I need the little one to at least get the degree. After that he is free to go whatever he
passion because he has the knowledge to make money whenever and wherever he wants instead of
stuck behind a desk.

That’s why as the father, I need to take the dive, walk down the path so that I can lead him on the
same route in the future. If I was never successful with affiliate marketing and force him to go down
the road, it is just not fair.

So when you are despair about your business and income, look back into why you really want to be
in affiliate marketing. That could be your motivation to stay in the business or even push you
forward…

To your affiliate marketing business,
Michael
