Are you living a LIFE? I'm about to live mine...

So I got into IM because I didn't wanted my parents to pay for
what all I wanted to buy, I got into IM because I didn't wanted
to follow a daily schedule like office-men do and do what I want,
when I want...

BUT that was 4 years back and today I look back and find myself
being the one chasing life and money...I have what I wanted i.e.
money but am I living? I guess I've missed a lot. I've missed moments
that I could have made memories, I feel like I missed life, buzy in my
own little world online...making and selling things!

From today onwards, make sure you ENJOY your life, do the fun
things you love to do and share it with your folks...LIVE YOUR LIFE!
You'd hate to say "I missed LIFE!" when you in your 80s...lucky me
am only 20

    Good for you. Make that cheddar and use it wisely. I similarly got into IM because I can work wherever I can find an internet connection, be that at home or in Peru, Japan, or Barcelona. Love it.

    Safe Travels!

        If you want to live and not miss things, I certainly recommend doing some traveling if you're financially stable. Really will see some fascinating things around the world! But congrats to you on becoming a successful internet marketer. Enjoy it!

    I'm almost 30 and have been a slave of the man since I was 16.

    Now that can change.

    Great to see the younger generation taking charge.

    Travel or not, liberation is liberation. Glad you're able to live without being forced to work under someone else. It seems like a common trait amongst entrepreneurs.

    abhi1 - you've learned a valuable lesson at a young age. That speaks well of you. I went the opposite direction when I was your age. I lived large and didn't care much about money or career. Find a good balance.

    The "Nick V." videos are very inspirational. There are several on YT (in case this is the only one you've discovered so far). I noticed no one had commented on the video, so I wanted to draw more attention to it.

    Just when you think you've got it all figured out, someone changes the rules.

      Mel, you met Nick? That's terrific. If I were to draw up a list of everyone I'd like to meet in person, Nick would be on the list.

        I saw him at the airport, as I was flying to Las Vegas. He was always on his phone and had a smile on his face. When he finished his calls, I said hi and really appreciated his message and vids that he has on YT.

        He was appreciative and that was that.

    The key to live a life that everybody wanted for themselves is enjoying every memorable moments, it really doesn't matter if you have a lot of money or not, its really the thought that counts, as what everybody keeps on saying. Besides, it is a bitter choice if you choose not to live your life to the fullest, we must enjoy what we have. Life is temporary, make use of it, right?

    People are generally happier when they spend their money on experiences and not possessions, so I'd recommend seeing as much of the world as possible (Especially South America)

      South America, where precisely if I may ask? You're into traveling a lot
      I guess. I love that too although I haven't done much of it yet.

      Here is a blog that keeps the excitement fresh: Matador Travel

    Robert Kiyosaki (of Rich Dad Poor Dad) has a saying "You can have Security, i.e. a Job or Freedom (Financial Freedom..."
    Every day I wake up and don't have someone pushing papers in my face or forcing me to meet someone else's goals, i.e. a deadline IS A LIFE WELL LIVED.

    I don't think the average joe sees how hard entrepreneurs work and really "gets it". The point as someone made long ago is that everyday you are working HARD towards goals - either yours or someone else's...

    At least I know my hard "work" (getting up and going to a j-o-b was real "work" if you ask me) is for me...

    Also, building assets is about working hard for a very short period of time then living off the residual work for years to come. If the average person from an average income background had the mindset "hey I am going to work my a$$ off for like 5 years then enjoy the rest of it until I die...."I suspect a lot more people would be doing it....

    Fact is there are only about 8700 hours in a year and I am SO HAPPY & GRATEFUL I don't have to spend 50% of mine working to make someone else's dream a reality or wealth goals too for that mattter....
