Where The Money Is << |UU| RANT on TESTOSTERONE |UU| _-click here to open-_
30 seconds ago a hot fitness model was about to show me there is nothing on this world but me and her.
Now, 30 seconds later -- the illusion is gone by realizing she's just another bitch in da hood. Same needs. Same greed. Same problems -- just maybe more interesting package. So I decided to instead write this article and help you get what you currently think you want -- some dough...
First - some background on the dough and what those who don't have it think it buys.. and what it mostly buys
Someone watching would say I live ideal lifestyle - work when I want, almost completely free from responsibilities that I don't want (almost), having porn-like chicks around me + one that truly and sincerely (well I guess) loves me, and one that really loves me (but isn't the easiest to get along with). I live in a mansion that looks like mini Playboy Mansion with big Scarface-like jacuzzi in the living room. Some would say, he lives the dream...
Or
when I was living with two hot chicks together - two girlfriends -- "oh I wish I was him"
But the truth is - it's all in perspective.
Look from my angle: In a year I haven't been in that jacuzzi -- all my contact with it is about adding some water to it and making sure the filtration is on. Mansion -- well my guests take more pics in it than me (not a single one) -- and having a personal cook doesn't help much because I'm away doing some stuff most of the day so I don't even get to eat the meals she makes (to the point I told her to start making one meal a day - just because I don't feel good seeing food being thrown away).
Being with two chicks - one Miss Ukraine and one nice local chick is ... a pain in the ass.
I've never had less sex than when being with two chicks (caring about who thinks what and whose feelings you hurt is great way to put your Johnson to sleep).
So we come to Money -- all mighty one that stackers talk about.
Why you make money?
Ask yourself... why you need money?
For example, to live normal life - I need about 20k a month, while you, probably between 1 and 5k. I am productivity machine. I can't spend time going to the gym, so I have trainers and the gym come to me.
Same with going to the restaurants, cooking, cleaning...
That thing -- that level of productivity is luxury. And you gotta pay for it.
Now - do I necessarily make more because of it?
Nope.
I just have higher chances.
So how you turn it to money?
And what's to know before you even start talking about money...
Ask yourself: "how much money do I need?"
Do you need 1k a month?
5k?
50k?
Note -- it doesn't make a fucking difference what you answer. 5k you are not a better person because you're "modest". It's all relative. And it all comes with the price.
Price of success
Do you lift?
Well, once you finally manage to score that chick you've been daydreaming about -- are you going to be proud in bed showing off because you're ripped - or hiding under the blanket. It depends upon are you willing to pay the price to get an awesome body.
The Shop of Life (TM)
You can buy anything.
You want good body: train
Want better body? train and watch your diet
want to be like Arnold? Fucking do whatever under the sun, roids, more roids, train, more train...
It all has the price: price of roids, price of training and sacrificing time you'd otherwise spend learning programming for example...
Imagine life like you have one big cart and you can buy whatever the fuck you want. Everything comes with the price -- but the price isn't the problem -- you have money -- problem is the cart itself -- how much you can carry.
If you devote 6hrs a day on training and 6hrs a day on work, you can't expect to have awesome and slow social life.
You gotta fill up your cart the best way according to YOUR CUSTOM DESIRES.
So back to 50k...
you want 50k a month? You gotta pay the price.
Even fucking driving a Ferrari is a price -- try picking up nose in a ferrari -- you might miss your old Chevy that noone looks at in an instant.
Sudden looks of people, harder to find "real" feelings and opinions of people, etc. Harder to connect.
Plus it costs yes, plus all the shit that comes with having such car from maintance, over special driving conditions.
You still want it?
You want a fucking private jet?
you ready for it?
The point is -- most people here on this board spend time thinking
1k, 5k... 1k, 5k...
daydreaming figures.
It's all bullshit.
My story
I have right now one of the best converting, men 50+ offers around -- a heaven for super affiliates. Until New Year this year it was kicking ass everywhere... and then it stopped.
I stopped promoting it, working with affiliates, answering emails... looking at computer.
I bought a nightclub.
Decades of hard work made me realize -- you have a playboy-like mansion and you don't enjoy. You have awesome hot chicks and you don't enjoy. You have zero social life besides chicks that you also win on game of psychology so you don't connect with. Fucking. Start. Enjoying!
So -- I bought the club.
It was an expense, every day until this weekend (I think it will take couple more weekends of being in minus).. every weekend I'd pay out of my own pocket... big bucks... and yet I'd enjoy it.
I felt alive.
The point of this is -- you gotta pay the price.
You gotta fill your cart with right ingredients.
So I noticed, I have a million a month in passive income so here setting up a club isn't a problem... but I look in the distance -- is this sustainable?
It isn't.
Me doing absolutely nothing, sooner or later something will crash.
So I got my shit back together and decided - hey -- I need some "real biz" type of ingredient in my cart also to balance my "fun biz" stuff in my cart.
So I got back to working on my biz - not much, it doesn't require much, and I enjoy great respect in community of vendors, partners, and guys I work with because I'm everything but standard corporate guy.
I don't penny and dime.
I richly reward. I like to give to people who help me.
So I decided -- what are my key cores of making money -- what 3 things made me money:
1) my list broker contact - guy who is honest and knows my product and is capable and here for me.
2) my super affiliates who love this offer because it helps them make money. And only because I allow guys who make 100k+ a month - it allows me some freedom so I don't need to communicate much.
3) My shit. Stuff I do - projects, mini projects, ideas, copywriting, stuff that always somehow I do or accept to do or get an idea to do that gives additional benefit to the company.
So -- I balanced my cart, and now knowing I like the fun part and I like the sustainable part -- I'm changing things in my cart -- so I make self-sustainable, growing company... like finding an self-managing or easily-managing, sustainable formula as opposed to smartly grinding.... and fucking taking more strict approach to my "fun biz" to set it up so once it's profitable I can teach a monkey to run it, and maintain it -- and once I have it just to have fun on the weekends, then I have more time.
Why I shared this not-ordinary case study with you?
To show you one liberating principle -- principle of Filling Up Your Cart (TM) 
This is by far the fastest way you will get to the desired money.
It isn't the latest tactic of Facebook or Adwords that's causing you problem.
It isn't low conversions...
It is a setup.
Everyone with a gun can be so badass that toughest MMA fighter kneels like a bitch in front of him.
But not everyone does it -- because not everyone wants to pay the price for such output.
You want money in internet marketing?
Ask yourself exactly what you want and what price it involves.
Once you settle, make a deal with yourself about the price you're willing to pay, you will reach it, almost automatically, without thinking... in no time.
Good luck stacker!
sweet, free bottle service for us STMers or wut !? hook it up baller!
Are you now more happy then before? Or you just keep feeling like something is missing?
Because it "sounds" like your living the dream and yet it isn't. Indeed some food for thought!

It isn't much job, however needs to be done -- I'm on it now.
Then I think I'll be fully happy unless something changes, some non-planned event or something.
Peace.

Can't say where it is because you'll know which club it is -- and the details - but many STMers here know me - so you know who to call when you're around
Life sucks when you have nothing to do. This is why I think lottery winners get depressed and say they preferred life before. Because they haven't built their success and have just won it - they have access to everything they ever wanted without the personal goals on the way.
This doesn't stop me buying £2 a week in lottery tickets BUT if I won £100m I would spend £90m of it in businesses to give me something to do and try and turn that £100m into £1000m.
At this point in my life I make high 3 figures a month super low $4 figures. Life is hard. But I am still happy because I am working on my own stuff when I want to.
I think I have life sussed more than someone making £100k a year but working for someone else on 8-6pm office hours, when I can wake up at 11am if I want to?
Plus its obvious to me that eventually I will be on £100k a year doing my own thing. And it will be exponentially easier to get from £100k a year to £1mill a year than it would in that 8-6pm job!
