The Prize
We are all trying to capture the prize. I think that maybe some of us think about it differently than others and perhaps the "prize" is defined differently as well.
I am not saying or implying that I have all the answers, truth be told I feel I have way more questions than anything, but I know what I think. I think that we are all in training here in WA, at various stages and going at our own paces. I think that perhaps some of us require more training than others and some seem to grasp it all so easily. That makes no one else any "better" than any one else, it only makes us different.
Furthermore I know what I believe. I believe that sometimes people get a bit confused about the prize, the goal of being here. Some of the people here seem to be so focused on the making of money that they miss that we are actually here for freedom, first and formost. Money is a vehicle and it is nice to have that, but it is only what will take us to our destianation. That destination is freedom. Freedom from alarm clocks. Freedom from bosses. Freedom from bills. Freedom from debt collectors. There is a huge, long list of freedoms that we can attain from building a passive income stream. We are learning how to do just that right here in this wonderful place called Wealthy Affialiate.
Sorry, I hope I didn't step on any toes and I do NOT want to offend, I just get the impression that some of the people here are being a bit near sighted sometimes and I want to try to help sort that out if I can. I think and believe that we are all wanting the very same things, we all want to be free 4 life.

Hi Frank and Tina
This is a good reminder to come back and be humble and realistic… Hence money is the key to all the freedom you pointed out - and this is why most people are chasing it...
But I am feeling the reason of your post - if would ethically be more welcome to write what we love about and then make money out of it. But a lot of people look what they can make money with and then write about this… That makes them maybe the better business people? I don't know, I still want to believe I can find a way to earn from the niche that has my heart - time will prove!
Thank you great post
Freedom - so important in one's life & as you say we all have a different interpretation of what it means.
We are all different - which makes it more interesting I believe.
I am retired - so the freedom from clocks & bosses are not relevant to me.
Of course other freedom like bills & time are so important. My persistence & dedication will move me forward with the building of my passive income.
I am learning slowly here @ WA - mainly due to other commitments of my time. However I will keep training here @ WA & reach my goal!

It seems the definition of freedom can be different for each person. For me, I agree with you, its a freedom from bills, debt collectors (still have a few too many of those), and alarm clocks. Of course, the latter will need a bit more adjustment, because our kitties still wake my poor husband up on mornings he tries to sleep in. Some consistency would probably help retrain their little internal clocks LOL!. But no matter what your definition of Freedom is, even if it is different, this is still the best place to learn how to achieve it.
Hey Frank and Tina,
I feel we are all searching for that freedom but some don't know what freedom truly is. I'm glad you defined it for us!!

True, we all need freedom in the long run though it comes at a cost- persistence and patience
indeed well said the destination is freedom having enough money by passive income to maintain a lifestyle your happy with is, in my opinion, being rich.
Thanks for sharing

Frank,
This is a very good post and I feel that you are correct in the
way you are looking at this. I know that I started this training
in hopes to make money online and by that, I do not mean
becoming a millionaire just to make enough to live my life
comfortably and not have to worry about bills or anything else
for that matter.
So to be free is the best way of looking at why I am here
setting me free of the way I have had to live most of my
life always worrying.

You makes some good points. To be successful you need to know what success looks like "for you". You must have a "success vision" that you are committed to. That keeps you focused and helps you push through the times when you get stuck.
