How and where you make money is not what matters. Personally I plan to the minute which are my money making times, and which are fun/altruistic times.

The way I look at it, the money I make allows me to do other things. Sure I could take on a lot more work, and maybe make £3-5 k a week, but for what? I have been there and done that, and it made me a horrible person, who cared for no -one.

Now I am chilled, I take on the jobs I want to take on, and do pretty much what I want. over the next couple of months, I will work very hard for a period of 8-12 weeks when I am launching a few new sites. These sites will make money on a regular basis, which will alllow me more time to do what I enjoy doing.

Funny old life, funny old web lol

To use Abraham Maslow hierarchy of needs theory, OWG you are pretty high on the Maslow Hierachy theory, I am still pretty low, though I make enough money to meet my basic needs but the memory of the lean times I went though in the past still haunts me which drives me to work harder and harder but I am learning to be chill this days but not completely chilled yet.
One day when I have a comfortable bank balance and preferably a mortgage free house I will be more chilled

 

[ovi]

Right

Right, the memory of the old times that I have lived, it makes me do all my best to earn enough money to live confotable, to have a house, and a nice banck account, and for this I work hard, many many hour/day etc.

Yes

[OldWelshGuy]

health and love are far more important to me than money, that is why I am poor

 

[ovi]

I subscribe to what OWG say, I am poor too I think I love too much.

[OldWelshGuy]

You can never love too much lol.

I used to get to the office by 7am, and would regularly get home at least twice a week at about 2 am. I have seen me work until 2 am, go to bed, get up at 4am, then drive 4 and a half hours, spend a day training my sales team, then drive another 4 and a half hours home. I was making a mountain, but for what?

There come a point when I said no, sold the business, and worked out how much I wanted to earn to acomplish everything we wanted. I then set about a plan on how to earn that. I take my daughter to school every day (she is 5) I pick her up from school every day with my wife. I have never missed aschool concert or parents meeting etc. Sure I could earn a lot more, by taking on some people to cope with the work I currently turn away, but then what?

I am not rich by any stretch of the imagination, but I want for nothing, my family want for nothing, and boy are we happy

Often times we get on the treadmill and just set goals like I want a million pound business. I have had a business that was turning over £30,000 a week, and was netting a fair % profit, it was hell, and cost me a marriage. The trick in life is to plan how much you want to earn, and set it as a ceiling. If too much work comes in, turn it down, it hurts the first few times, but after a while it gets easier.

Sounds like a good Hallmark card.

Money printed our bible, Builds our churches and it pays to the preachers and our missionaries. Hence money can not be denied, certaintly it matter.

 

[Paul_KY]

I agree, "tithing" and, "charity" are good things, and not always, but most of these kind acts are received with, "currency", if not something currency paid for.

 

[etechsupport]

This is not matter that what you see? This is the matter that how you see?
My reply was about the importance of money which can not be denied. That was the example showing the importance of money.

A person earn money at a stage for himself, then for his family and after a stage comes when he think over for others and go on for philanthropic contributions/charity.This is the human tendency.

 

[Paul_KY]

I'm not here for the money.

 

[etechsupport]

Right, I agree with you.

 

[Paul_KY]

I like those quotes, OWG.

Another one I like is this:

"Everyone wants to go to Heaven, yet NO one wants to die" - Zig Ziglar

I translate that into, "Most everyone wants wants success, security, etc., yet most NO one wishes to put in the time/resources needed, nor even knows the key".

Nice post, OWG.

I'm putting in the time and resources and would eventually like to make some money from my sites but I never got into it for that reason.

The problem with most webmaster newbies like me is that if you search in google for successful webmaster tips, you get a result such as: Results 1 - 10 of about 2,070,000 for successful webmaster tips. (0.23 seconds).

It's extremely difficult to weed through even the first few pages and find a winning recipe. Then you get all these 00ber successful webmasters who publish books or CD's for $29.99 and throw in a free squirrel pelt mouse pad at no extra charge to give you 1000 pages of absolute nonsense to make your way through.

I swear, I've learned more at this site than I have at all other sites combined about running a website, the rest has consisted of trial, error and hundreds of wasted hours.

 

[OldWelshGuy]

Well the SEM book I am writing is so far up to about 15 pages, and I would say there are about another 5-10 pages and it will be complete. I am not charging for it though.

 

[Paul_KY]

"the rest has consisted of trial, error and hundreds of wasted hours"

NOT FOR A MINUTE, do you consider those, "hundreds of hours", "wasted", Duke. If followed up on diligently, they'll come back tenfold. And always remember, success, whether by mainstream or the Internet, is, "caught", not, "taught", so while there are many SEO (If they are up to date) books, which are useful, I don't believe there to be many, "How to Make Money on The Internet" e-books, which are worth the space taken up on your hard drive, much less $29.99.

JMHO
