Today, I'm a very happy man.

After two failed attempts at starting an “offline” business and after years of working as an employee in various thankless jobs, I'm finally exactly where I always wanted to be: working
at home, using the Internet as a platform to earn a more than decent income each and every month.

Let me share with you what success means to me.


It means independence.

I can do whatever I want, whenever I want, however I want.
I don't answer to anybody.
I am the decider; I call the shots and I'm the boss.


It means dignity.

I don't have to please or satisfy someone else all the time.
I don't have to crawl or humiliate myself and suck up to my boss in order to get a promotion, a day off, a raise or even just a kind word of appreciation.


It means freedom.

Being free means that time is mine - and mine alone.
My timetable is totally flexible and I can get up in the morning whenever I want, with no fear, guilt or pressure.

I decide when I work, when I relax, when I run errands, when I do my house chores, go out for coffee, shop or spend time with my family and friends.


It means lifestyle.

I set my own preferable balance between work and leisure and I may tweak and alter the formula whenever I see fit.

I enjoy the quality of life that most people can usually only dream about, with far less pressure or stress and much more time to do the things that I love or are important to me.


It means financial success.

I finally get to earn the kind of money that I really am worth and deserve.
I am no longer being used by over-powerful employers, who make me work too much for too little.

I'm not a millionaire, but I live in a better home, drive a better car and can afford to buy almost anything I want, whenever I want it (within reason, of course).
I'm not depriving myself of anything that is important to me “because of money.”


It means justice.

Yep, you read it right, justice.

Working in dead end jobs, being used and underpaid by greedy employers who were experts at sucking their employees' souls for peanuts, always seemed like a grave injustice to me.

I always felt that I deserved to make a lot of money, live a great life and do what I enjoy.
Justice has finally been served.


It means “beating the system”.

I'm not proud of the fact that I never did well in high school or that I never attended college and got a degree.

However, I'm extremely proud of the fact, that although I have no formal higher education, I managed to ”beat the system” and find my way to personal independence, freedom and financial wealth.

I never gave up or let the system run me over.
