How Most Millionaires get to be Millionaires…

Written by Daegan Smith


Why do so many people claim that money isn’t important? Why is there this notion that wanting money somehow makes you an ill adjusted bad human being? It’s such a strange thought pattern don’t you think?

Wanting more money in your life doesn’t mean you’re a bad person. It doesn’t mean you’re greedy either. It just means you want more out of life. You want more freedom. You want more security. You want more fun. Whatever it is, you just want more. Money is just simple a means to that end.

I hoe I don’t letrepparttar cat out ofrepparttar 100387 bag, but that’s what this whole home business gig is anyway. Someone sells you onrepparttar 100388 idea that you can make tons of money working from home as an independent contractor or distributor for this company or that. And, it’s not that you ever buy intorepparttar 100389 promise thatrepparttar 100390 home business is selling, but you take a leap of faith and give it a try.

We start small, maybe $20 for a book about real estate investing. I know my first brush withrepparttar 100391 thought that I could be independently wealthy working from home was when I came across an ad forrepparttar 100392 ebook Googlecash (if you don’t know what I’m talking about just do a quick google search). The idea seemed so easy and so low risk I figured why not give it a try.

That wasrepparttar 100393 beginning, almost a year ago. Here I am now writing to you about my home business experiences. In that time, I’ve bought an apartment building and learned just about everything there is to learn about starting and running a business from home. And guess what? If you haven’t caught on to this yet, no matter whatrepparttar 100394 ads tell you, no home business is as simple or as cheap asrepparttar 100395 ad would have you believe. But I digress.
