This isn't meant to offend anybody, or for anybody to take too seriously. Just something I've noticed and was really curious as to what others think about it.
On the Income Wanted section, I see a lot of "I wanna make $50,000 a month and I'm willing to spend two hours a day working towards it."
On one hand, sure, we are supposed to shoot for the sky and reach for the stars. Dream big. Most of us would love to create a revenue stream large enough using WA methods so that we could retire tomorrow.
But.......some of it strikes me as a little funny or farfetched. The wealthy people I know in real life are the ones who have dedicated their lives to their business. They are the ones putting in 12 hour days, seven days a week building up their successful businesses. So seeing people on here saying they want to make a million dollars a year or $10,000 a week is cool.....but then saying they are willing to spend an hour a day or 10 hours a week to do so, I just wonder if they've really thought that through. Is it really helpful to think we're gonna make $5,000 an hour on here?
Just curious as to what others think about i. Again, I know we are just sharing our "dream" scenario. But realistically, it seems kind of a huge stretch that isn't realistic at all. Like the 5-foot-5 high school basketball player who doesn't even start on his team, thinking he is going to be in the NBA.
And again - NOT trying to offend or make some huge grand statement. Just thought it was in interesting thing. Oh - for the record, my goal/dream is to make enough on here to retire from the workplace. My realistic dream is I'd love to generate 1000 a month for extra income for my family. An ultimate dream would be to make 3000 per month - and willing to work 25 hours a week to achieve it.
Thanks for reading!
I've also read that there is a major difference between those who inherited their money and built a major business/income from scratch. The former are the ones who live lavishly buying yachts and Ferrari. While the latter often live like they're poor. A very basic apartment and a reasonable and middle priced car.
I don't think you can become rich by "wanting" everything in the world. You become rich by dedicating yourself to something and becoming an industry expert. Paying attention to your customers and taking things like consumer demand very seriously.
Maybe that´s too relevant ;)
