Have you ever checked my bio?
“Helping entrepreneurs feel happy beyond money.”
That is my goal here, this is why I post what I post, and in this post, I want to give the people here who already got money but are unhappy…
Cause I know people in my own life close to me, and even my younger self who have got money from business but still are unhappy, lack fulfilment and etc.
Let me tell you a story first of the first time I started making good money from business, it was back in April of 2024. I had a business selling stuff on eBay, and I remember one month I made $1.5k just selling stuff, which I got full profit on as well!
I remember that had been a goal of mine for so long, to make like £1000 a month, but I still felt unfulfilled, unhappy and did not feel good in myself.
I seen the big pay checks from eBay go to my bank and was just like “meh,” I didn’t really care for it, it was really awesome though during the height of it, I remember one night I kept getting notifications of sales, that was really hype, I was just on my PC chilling watching YouTube and my phone was blasting off with sale notifications.
It was really cool the first few times, but then tbh, you kind of just get used to it, you know?
Hedonic adaptation, I guess.
But now I know stuff I didn’t know back then, I now know the reason why I had money but was still not happy.
Reasons:
Reason 1:
Lack of purpose, I was just doing this reselling model for the sake of money, and I got no purpose in it, I now have changed my view on this absolutely I see money as a score for how well you contribute to your purpose, money made from your purpose is worth more than making more money in some degenerate business, by a long shot, I am making less money online from my coaching business right now, but every dollar made it means so much cause I know when people invest money they just will get more results no matter what, and it is the moral thing to charge high prices, it just feels amazing that my expenses and etc, are covered by money made from my purpose.
Reason 2:
Lack of enjoyment, I did not enjoy my reselling business much, I would just spam upload stuff around my house, use ChatGPT to make the title’s and descriptions, it was boring monotonous work and it was also not fully online which is what I wanted, and yeah, I know it is vital to enjoy your work, cause no matter what your work is going to take up a large sum of your life the only way to be happy is to do great work.
Reason 3:
Materialism, I was never satisfied I always wanted more, cause I was brainwashed by the gurus like Tate, Iman Gadzhi and etc, who just want you to chase more and more, sacrifice more and more just so you can buy some car to get the validation of people you don’t even like, I realised how dumb this was and that was exactly what I was doing, I was wasting my money on fancy colognes, like this Jean Paul Gautier just cause I wanted the validation of others in school, and I had no fixed milestone for income I just wanted to push more and more, I was not satisfied, but I now realised that is a lie, and that will keep you in the “matrix” forever, as the biggest part of the matrix is making money, I realised I needed to have one clear income goal and anything more than that is not necessary, I am making my self a slave of I am sacrificing more and more even after I hit a good milestone.
The solution to this is simple: pick a business or career you feel purpose in, you enjoy and are not motivated by materialism in, and don’t waste your life making money. Hope this helped, bro.
