I think you have conflicting beliefs. Do you see the conflict in the statement that the "other side of the equation will take care of itself"? You are saying don't focus on the money if you want the money. You are being a lightworker as a sneaky way to get the money. Why would there even be another side of the equation if you were truely a lightworker? It must still be important......... |
THank you for the kind words. What I meant by the 2 weeks is simply that two weeks ago I made a personal commitment to the "Inspired Money Maker" project in my life. Previous to that it was just a hobby project that I did when I got home from "work".
You are absolutely right, my Blog has always been about helping people, but that's only because I never really looked at it as a money making thing. I already have a job and I make good money with it so my Blog was a way for me to help people out.
However, I want to devote a lot more of my energy and time to the project because I know I can help a lot of people if I do. Of course, in order to do this I need to monetize the Blog in some way which is what I'm doing. This is where the realization came in regarding the whole Darkworker / Lightworker thing. I started looking for ways I could make money online and I found all kinds of possibilities. However, only some of them resonate with me, while others totally don't. For example, setting up 10,000 Black-Hat blogs that spam the search engines and then making a killing off of them via affiliate income and AdSense doesn't resonate with me. It's not that I don't want to make money, I have no problems with money...I just don't want to chase money anymore.
For example, I'd prefer to do what I love and make $100,000/year than to chase all kinds of "schemes" out there and make $700,000/year but do stuff that I don't really feel good about. Do you know what I mean?
Some of what I say may sound conflicted, and that is because I'm still very much going through a transition right now to start polarizing down the Lightworker path.
What I really love about my InspiredMoneyMaker project is that I love working on it so much that I stay up until like 2:30am and I want to do more, I want to write more, I want to help more people..then I have to go to bed so that I can go to work the next day.... and then at like 4:30am my dog will wake me up because he wants to be let outside, and I'll jump back on the computer for 30 minutes to work on the blog some more.
I'm so excited about working on it, it's not even funny. I've had these kinds of feelings of flow in my life many times before and I've always made good money when I was in this flow, so I'm not really worried about money.
Hope that clarifies things a little bit.
