to name a few other ones I'd reccomend Purpose = Permanent Message + Temporary Medium or Contributing Through Your Career. there are many of steve's posts dealing with that.
basically it's about to think about what you can do to create value in the easiest way and get it out in the world as fast as possible, while remaining accessible for quite a long time.
just by reading the first post on your blog I don't feel like I would like it. it reads as if it was all about money - and what is money anyway? sure, you can get yourself some real nice things with it, but you don't really need all that much to be happy if you're happy with what your doing.
I think steve dealt with that topic on his last podcast. |
Oh, I understand what you're saying now. Yes, my blog is for those people who are not afraid to make money. If you don't need any more money, or you feel that money is the root of all evil, or you feel like we shouldn't value money as much as some people do, then my blog won't resonate with you. I am specifically trying to connect with people like me - which is people that do not have any guilt or negative association with earning, lets say $1,000,000/year.
I am looking to help the people who are thinking "I'm READY! I WANT to make money, I'm tired of working my butt off and making only XX/year. I know money is not everything in life, but it is important and I know that I am limiting myself somehow so I want someone to help me get to the next level."
That is who I am specifically targetting.
Very different from Steve as you pointed out.
One more thing I'll add though. Before you judge me in your mind for going after money instead of "doing what I love doing", realize that "learning how to make money" and "teaching other people to have a healthy relationship with money" *IS* what I love doing. I always have, it's my passion.
