INTRODUCTION

LETS CLEAR SOMETHING UP

Porn.

I dont know what it is. Maybe most people I interact with have watched too many Hollywood movies. Maybe something about me just screams sleazy. Maybe people just think there is a ton of money in online nudity. Whatever it is, whenever I tell people that I own an online business, they almost immediately assume the same thing:

He must be one of them fancy-schmancy Internet porn moguls.

Then, after I confirm that no, I do not sell nudie pictures or videos online, they privately assume a whole list of other things such as:

• Credit card scammer...
• Stockbroking prodigy...
• Hacker...
• Mark Zuckerberg genius coder extraordinaire...
• Boner-pill seller...

... and a much longer list of outrageous jobs that you would either see in a Hollywood movie or would require lottery-like luck to achieve. Now, it doesnt help my case that one of my good friends is one of the largest porn advertisers online, but assumptions such as that bug the ever-living hell out of me because theyre due to peoples complete and utter misunderstanding of wealth (and the Internet). Thats why I had to write this book: to set the record straight about online businesses and generating wealth in general.

You see, this exact conversation represents the number one reason so many people will never have financial freedom. It represents why less than 1 percent of people ever become millionaires. It represents the primary reason why people choose to work eight-to-five, soul-killing jobs.

If you ignore all the silliness from the first page of this book, you can take away one very ugly, poisonous belief that has been ground into the majority of our heads. One belief that is so damaging that it makes it virtually impossible for you to ever become rich and successful. In fact, the first step to ever becoming successful is recognizing this belief and murdering it with a medieval battle-ax.

Okay, Alex. Shut up already. What is this belief youre talking about? It is the idea that, to become rich, something extraordinary, rare, or lucky has to happen. You have to cheat the system, trick people into giving you money, be a super genius with a loophole, be lucky, or be a sleazebag to become a success. Or, at the very least, become a porn mogul!

This false belief also says that you have to have something special or be someone special and that being wealthy is not in your control. There is simply no ordinary, straightforward way for an average, hardworking person to become a millionaire. It looks so easy for other successful people you admire, but it would be way too difficult or risky for you to become like them. You might as well just sit in your comfortable chair and watch more late night TV because you simply have no chance at becoming great anyway.

Essentially, this belief is that you cant become successful, for whatever reason your brain tells you. Plain and simple.

This belief has killed any chance that 99 percent of people have to be successful before they even think about getting started. If you are not already successful, you are likely suffering from this in some shape or form. You might not even know it, but you are. You probably think being successful is only for the lucky ones, that it is out of your control, or youre simply comfortable in your own life and afraid to take on what you think is a risk. This book is meant to brutally change that.

Dont get me wrong; there is a process to making money and it requires a lot of drive, determination, and hard work. It is hard, but not in the way you think.

You see, many people view money like playing a slot machine in Vegas. It is hard to win, which really means that it is unlikely to win. And its because of luck or chance, not because of anything you can control. This is not the type of hard I am talking about, though. Making money is hard, much like playing a video game is hard.

Let me explain. First and foremost, as an avid gamer myself, I can tell you that I have seen some of the most worthless people become gods at certain games online. They are bumbling, lazy, worthless people in real life. But, when you give them a controller, they can outdo the overwhelming majority of the human race.

Why? How on earth can lazy slobs accomplish something so challenging? (Yes, video games can be challenging. If you doubt this, log onto any online game and prepare to be shocked by the freakish level of skill required to compete at a higher level. It can take hundreds of hours and strict concentration to reach this level of play.)

Its simple. They believe they can become insanely good. Then, they play (work at) the game over and over again until they are insanely good. Yes, its difficult to become an expert at the game they are playing. But, whether youre mastering a video game or making money, if you put enough time and effort into what you want, you can and will get good at it... even if you are a loser who lives in his parents basement.

Moneymaking is that type of hard. Its not like getting lucky on a slot machine or a lottery ticket. Its not like winning a radio contest. Its not rare or unlikely and its not about beating the odds. Its not a situation where one person wins, and therefore thousands or millions of other people must lose. It is something that, if you do it over and over, focus with all of your energy, and adopt the mind-set of a winner, you will become good at it... just like video games.

That is what reading this book will accomplish. It will fix your head and force you to believe the truth: making money is something that you, yes YOU, can accomplish. More so, this book will remove all the poisonous beliefs from your head that have disabled you from finding financial freedom in the past and replace them with the same beliefs that successful people have. These beliefs are the pillars they live by and the backbones of their success.

You know that thoughts and beliefs drive every aspect of our lives, right? This is not an opinion; this is a fact that is proven every single weekday morning at 8:00 a.m.

Every morning, all over the world, people wake up so early that its still dark outside. They get in their generic, ugly sedans and drive through traffic that makes them want to gouge their eyes out. They sit down at neutral-colored desks and get told what to do for eight to ten hours a day. They make just enough money to pay their bills, but never enough to get everything they want. Then, they go back through the horrible traffic, watch mindless TV until they fall asleep, and do it all over again the next day... unless its the weekend, in which they finally have some time to do what they love to do.
