Introduction—

Work Doesn’t Have to Be

Something You Hate. . . . . . . . . . . . .

HOW ARE YOU going to feel come Monday morning? When that alarm clock goes off, are your eyes going to snap open and sparkle with enthusiasm? Are you going to head off to your commute with a spring in your step? Are you looking forward to weeks, months, and years of that routine?

I really hope you are, but sadly the odds are against it. In fact a according to one study, almost 60 percent of people around the world don’t like their jobs!1 And the Conference Board recently recorded the highest level of job unhappiness among American workers in its

20-plus-year history of doing similar surveys.1

You probably work too much for too little with people you don’t like doing stuff you don’t care much about. At least part of that sounds like you, right? I don’t think it’s healthy to spend all your waking hours working a job you don’t like just so you can get up to do it again tomorrow. And then to keep doing it forever hoping to save enough so that you can eventually quit and then do nothing.

Most self-help books focus on changing your attitude, envisioning abundance, or fixing your relationships. But the real problem is that most people hate their jobs and don’t have enough money. Most of us spend more time at work than anywhere else. If you spend any of your after-hours time watching TV, sleeping, or commuting, that leaves just a couple of daily hours where your kids, spouse, friends a hobbies, church, and everything else get any time at all.

So the real issue is your work. Do you love your work? Do you spend your days doing work you feel you were born to do? Or do you at least get paid enough to make all the frustrating daily compromises more than worth it?

If you’re reading this book, I’m betting the answer is no.

You’re here because it’s your career that needs fixing. It’s the 8 to

10 to 14 hours each day you waste just trying to cover your bills and get ahead a little. You can pursue the Law of Attraction to “manifest abundance in your life” all you want, but if you’re working a 9-to-5 (or an 8-to-8) job that leaves you unfulfilled, it’s time for a change!

Your job should help you live the life you want, not force you into a lifestyle you don’t enjoy just to keep your bills paid. Instead, how about building a lifestyle you like today so you don’t have to postpone so much of your life until retirement?

Join the Click Millionaires Revolution!

This book shares details of the unprecedented opportunity you have to (re)design your career and life to achieve financial independence and success on your own terms. It can help you leave behind many of the compromises and frustrations that plague corporate life and start the transition from making your boss rich to enriching your own life instead.

While the media and many business books assume you need to be a software geek or a Stanford MBA to “succeed” online, I believe you already have the credentials you need to build a profitable

Internet lifestyle business based on your own real-life experience and interests.

I know all this sounds suspiciously “get rich quick” but it’s not.

Through lots of hard work and clever use of the Internet, I have found this lifestyle and financial success myself and I wrote this book to help you find it, too. Like my earlier books, Internet Riches and e-Riches 2.0 a this book is filled with specific proven strategies and tools that I have used personally to build a more prosperous and flexible future.

Here’s the plan for sharing them with you:

Part One: Identify your top lifestyle goals so you can design them into a new online business.

Part Two: Discover the revolutionary principles behind the success of Click Millionaire lifestyle businesses so that you can use them to make money yourself. Plus, learn how to quickly position yourself as an expert in any field online.

Parts Three and Four: Read inspiring real-life case studies of successful online entrepreneurs who are living the “Click

Millionaires Lifestyle.” Many of these lifestyle entrepreneurs have created profitable new products and services of their own a while others have built successful online businesses by providing promotional or freelance services to others.

Part Five: Pinpoint a profitable niche business model of your own that takes advantage of your personal life experience and interests to make money online.

Part Six: Learn the easiest, fastest, and cheapest ways to build websites and collect money from your new customers online.

Part Seven: Create an Action Plan for implementing Click

Millionaire lifestyle design strategies and choosing the right niche business model in your own life so you can get started on the work you were born to do.

Why Should You Listen to Me? a grew up on the lower end of middle-class in dangerous and poor inner-city Detroit, but managed to make myself a millionaire. a worked my way up with no inside connections or family money, paying my own way through both the University of Michigan and

Stanford Law School. I earned my first small fortune on Wall Street and retired for the first time when I was just 25. After I got bored scuba diving in the islands of the South Pacific, I worked my way to success again in Silicon Valley and then again in Hollywood, too a building expertise at starting highly profitable, cutting-edge

Internet businesses.

Now that I am able to spend my time how I want, I want to help you succeed, too. This book is full of my personal stories and recommendations so I apologize if it sounds like I’m trying to impress you or sell you. These personal examples are the best way I know to share with you my enthusiasm and the benefits of the many lessons I’ve learned earning my own success online. I want you to know that a don’t write my books hoping to make money from you by writing about success I’ve never had myself. I’ve literally traveled the world to identify the best lifestyle and business opportunities available today. I’m an active entrepreneur, strategy consultant, and investor making money from a dozen different website businesses as you read this. And I donate my book profits to charity to “pay it forward”

helping others to succeed like I have.
