From Publishers Weekly

Wealth: those who have it want to keep it, but what’s the best way to ensure it doesn’t run dry? Lucas is ideally suited to answer the question. A Harvard Business School graduate who’s worked at wealth management firms, and a fourth-generation heir of E.A. Stuart, the founder of the Carnation Company, Lucas counsels readers who have, or are planning to have, at least a few hundred thousand dollars in the bank. His book teaches them to manage their wealth s (more…)

The dictionary defines wealth as:

1. – the state of being rich and affluent

2. – an abundance of material possessions and resources

3. – property that has economic utility: a monetary value or an exchange value

4. – the quality of profuse abundance

None of those definitions sound too bad, right? The quality of profuse abundance - I like that definition!

However, wealth as it is defined in the dictionary is only a small aspect of such a grand and often controversial word.

The definition of wealth can be quite divisive. Ask your family and friends how they define wealth and then sit back and enjoy the conversation! Ask any political candidate how they define wealth and you’ll get vastly different answers.

There is of course the capitalist definition of wealth which states that all wealth is earned, not distributed.

Conversely, socialism states that there is a more equitable distribution of wealth and wealth is better shared.

That being said, all political theories and ideologies aside, we know deep down at our core that there is more to ‘wealth’ than dollars in the bank.

Consider the following quotes:

“Wealth is the ability to fully experience life.”
-Henry David Thoreau

“Ordinary riches can be stolen, real riches cannot. In your soul are infinitely precious things that cannot be taken from you.”
-Oscar Wilde

“Being rich is having money; being wealthy is having time”
-Margaret Bonnano

So wealth is:
- Having time
- Having health
- Having quality of life
- Possessing freedom
- Finding inspiration
- Having peace of mind
- Wealth is having compassion
- Being loved
- Loving

- And of course money in the bank – how much money in the bank is defined by you.

And so on and so on.

I’d argue that wealth, true wealth, may be a combination of all of these things.

Wealth, when it is defined as more than simply dollars in the bank, when it is defined as quality of life, health, peace of mind and all of those things that do often come with financial security is a fine and wonderful thing. However, each attribute of wealth i.e. peace of mind, time, passion and dollars in the bank can be at risk if one focuses one attribute to the exclusion of all others.

For example if you live solely to have more money, you’ll inevitably lose time, quality of life, and quite frequently your health.

It’s a fine tightrope to walk.

Do you focus on earning money to support a better quality of life, to have more time and so on?

Or

Do you focus on quality of life and have faith that the money will follow?

It’s the whole success before meaning or meaning before success question.

Success before meaning.

There’s a well established school of thought which dictates that you work hard, you earn a good living, build a good life and then reap the rewards of your hard work. There are various scenarios this may entail.

For many it may entail spending 20 years working a 9-5 desk job, living frugally and saving as much money as possible. The reward is then quitting or retiring and living the life you’ve always wanted to live. Whether that means traveling, spending your days in your garden or workshop or starting that small business you’ve always wanted to start.

This is the place that many people come from. They spend their lives focused on the goal of achieving financial success and freedom.

While setting and achieving goals is a great thing, the problem with this mindset is:

1. One forgets to enjoy life while it’s happening and waits to enjoy it at some future date.

2. That date may never come

Meaning before success.

Another school of thought follows the path of doing what they love and hoping or trusting that wealth will follow.

Those who follow this school of thought believe that the goal to success starts with finding a business or trade you’re passionate about. Passion and desire breed wealth.

While it’s true that passion for your business or trade will bring about day to day quality of life, satisfaction and contentment – financial wealth isn’t a given. In fact there are many people who are barely getting by who absolutely love what they do.

Another option?

I propose that there is actually a third approach to obtaining wealth without sacrificing quality of life.

Starting an internet based business, yes even in today’s economy, can provide the kind of lifestyle and complete wealth you’re seeking.

Starting an internet based business, while it takes a bit of time at the outset to get a business up and running, once it’s established and you’ve automated as much as you can humanly automate and delegated the rest – the profits are in your pocket and you’ve as much free time as you can humanly stand. Time to live the life you’re dreaming of but instead of dreaming it, you’re actually living it.

Time to pursue your passions. Yes, this third option means the business you start doesn’t have to be something you’re passionate about. You can make your business your passion, however it’s not mandatory. You can in fact sell t-shirts online, make a mint, and not give a hoot about t-shirts.

Timothy Ferriss talks at length on this in his book “The 4-Hour Workweek”.

The concept is defined as the new rich or NR as he calls them. It’s the idea that it doesn’t have to be success versus meaning or wealth versus poverty or freedom versus being chained to a desk 9-5. Life, and wealth, can be defined by you.

Starting an internet based business isn’t as simple as setting up a website and watching the profits roll in. There’s a process. There’s a science behind profiting online. It begins with specialized knowledge.

THERE are two kinds of knowledge. One is general, the other is specialized. General knowledge, no matter how great in quantity or variety it may be, is of but little use in the accumulation of money.
-Napoleon Hill

Mr. Hill also goes on to say in Chapter Five of Think and Grow Rich, KNOWLEDGE will not attract money, unless it is organized, and intelligently directed, through practical PLANS OF ACTION, to the DEFINITE END of accumulation of money.

Now specialized knowledge is something you can possess, like knowing how to take apart and put back together a 1964 Ford Mustang blindfolded. It is also something you can purchase or acquire.

You can obtain specialized knowledge by:

- Participating in a mastermind group, hiring a coach, or finding a mentor.

- Going to school or getting specialized training

- Reading everything ever published on the topic including participating in forums and chat rooms on your chosen topic.

As we move through life and make our choices it’s nice to know that there are options. You can choose to live your life pursuing financial wealth at the expense of the other gems life has to offer, you can choose to pursue health, art and happiness at the expense of financial wealth or you can decide that you deserve both. You can decide that the world and its abundance are available to you.

The internet makes it easier than ever before. It gives you access to specialized knowledge and wonderful tools which enable you to automate almost every process and system required to run a successful and profitable business.

If you are looking to earn money on line this year then you are probably a little overwhelmed. In fact, your head may be spinning quite rapidly in your quest to earn money on line while working from the comfort of your own home. Well, let me sum up the steps to success in my experiences:

Step One – Determine Your Path. The first thing you need to decide upon is which path you want to take. Once you figure this out then you can earn money on line anytime you want. And, what you must decide up on is whether you want to sell something or do something. More specifically you need to decide if you want to spend time working and get paid for your hours (or project) or if you want to sell your (or someone else’s) product and receive a commission.

Either method works great and both methods earn money on line for many men and women each day. However, you need to figure out which one fits your personal style and go with that way to earn money on line.

Step Two – Determine Your Time Commitment. The amount of time you have to devote will vastly effect the path you take to earn money on line. I mean, if you only have 5 free hours available to you each week then you better learn to sell someone else’s product while you sleep and work. If you have ten or twenty hours available to you each week then either method will work to earn money on line for you this year. But, you must have at least SOME time available if you want to earn money on line.

Step Three – Determine Your Budget. Remember that those that work to earn money on line treat it as a real business. And like all businesses you must have working capital. In this case your working capital will be used to advertise your product (if that’s the path you take). If you don’t have any funds available to you then you have no choice but to work for pay. You just can’t begin to earn money on line without at least a little capital to get you started.

Now for your action plan. In the next 10 minutes you need to determine your path, your time and your budget available in order to earn money on line this year. If you don’t stop and do these three things now then you need to question your commitment to this project. Remember, what lies ahead is up to you and if you are NOT happy with your current financials situation then you need to earn money on line and you need to get started right now! Good luck!
