When is Earning $2000 Dollars Per Month Not Good Enough?

It's likely most members who are just starting out here at Wealthy Affiliate would say, "Wow, it would be enough for me!"

Yet here I sit, watching the money roll in day after day and I'm now making $24K more per year online than I was in 2014. But, why do I feel I'm struggling to come up with my next goal? What next?

Actually, I have felt a little perplexed during this last month, even with making money. So I decided to stop everything. And focus on my mindset. The money means nothing if we cannot feel happiness today in the here and now. Where did my Joy go?

Yep, so I quite writing reviews, quit searching for shiny objects to check out, and I quit joining anything of late. I didn't even turn the computer on other than to stay caught up on the emails.

Remeber my last post about buying a dozen tee-shirts that said Future Millionaire? To heck with that... I just now bought my first dozen new tees that say, 2016 Internet Millionaire! :) But no exclaimation point on the shirt.

Times have changed. In fact they are forever changing. I get a hundred emails a day coming in from everywhere, from many new members and also members just finding me now through my reviews...and others who join my list...All wanting to know how they can make money.

My job of late has been public relations! I feel more like a secretary than an online marketer. I feel I need more generic response letters. I need a couple of assistants!

Funny how it all makes sense now. Give value to others and you will find your success. Trouble is I'm not a very good public servant. Never have enjoyed helping people before this. I guess my world is changing. I do get some joy in helping others make it to WA.

I tell them not to try and copy what I'm doing... It won't work. I even have members who've signed up for at least two of my programs that work for me... yet now they show me they've made nothing! Why is that?

Because, they skipped the marketing and skills training we have here at Wealthy Affiliate, Wealthy Affiliate is the first stop in Online Marketing. And once you've acquired a skill in marketing... Build on it even more, daily.

I now direct these members who are getting poor results to the WA training. Many have said they don't want training, they want to make money like me! I just shake my head.

But back to reality. What comes next for me? I make money, yet I don't really get that much joy or satisfaction out of doing what I do. Heck, the anticipation of making it happen was a great excitement for me. Yet much more frustrating as well.

I'm that person who is interested in everything until I've learned it, then not so much any longer.

Even if I suddenly started making $100K per year, it would not mean that I would want to keep working and doing the same things. You don't really understand that money isn't everything until you have made lots of it.

Myself, I have always made good money in life, and even purchased new Harley's, Corvettes, Real Estate and even Airplanes. But, I've done all that and it's not something important to me now. I have none of these any longer and I'm okay with that.

The next step for me is to create my own money making program, I think. Something where I'm the creator, the founder and owner. Since I'm in the money making niche I don't see any other road that would work for me as well as this one.

I'm sure some of you are saying why not rinse and repeat and make more money from what is working for me now? Well the truth is, I'm not interested. And, if I did continue it would be a pathetic way to find joy every day since it is not that enjoyable any longer. Right? LOL

I must move on.

I think I'm learning that life is a journey more so than an end result!
