Have you ever stopped and thought about what you really want from the online life? Is it an additional stream of income? A full-time income (maybe to replace one you lost)? Or even to become a millionaire?
If you just looked at that last question and thought ‘Ha! Who me?’ or images from those cheesy salesletters with Ferraris sprang to mind, think again.
Here’s some sane and sensible advice from Entrepreneur that could actually help get you there – I especially like the reference to the Noah Kagan interview with Tim Ferriss which is one of my faves:

Another great episode from Tim Ferriss’ show is the one with Naval Ravikant – Tim’s go-to person for advice. As Tim says:
“…even if you have zero interest in startups or investing, this episode is well worth your time. This is really about the habits and beliefs of a highly successful (and happy) person.”
