The New Get Rich Quick - Day 168

Ironically, the new get rich quick schemes have nothing to do with getting rich quick and everything to do with the live-life-like-me scheme.
The internet is ripe with marketers trying to sell you "the answer", that magic formula slash process that will you turn you from wage slave to entrepreneur extraordinaire overnight. All you have to do is find and live your passion, think and grow rich, or find your narrow, deep niche and cultivate it.
This is all fine and dandy, but it's old news.
The fact is those living on the cutting edge hold the advantage. Those thinking outside the norm, beyond and parallel to the latest and greatest "advice" are the ones writing the next generation of "how tos" right now. Those following the advice of printed (outdated) business advice are nothing but followers. Everyone is already doing it, therefore it is stale because people are already desensitized to it.
Effectiveness comes from creativity, not a step by step formula that a monkey can follow.
Listen to those that have been there and done that, but take it with a grain of salt. Attempting to find that one program, "the answer", that will put you over the top, that seems so easy, requiring nothing but effort on your part, is like joining the trend on its decline; everyone's already doing it and the effectiveness is moot.
The only chance you have is to stop looking for the solution and start defining your own path.
This blog is a resource to spark your own creative thought, not a how-to or step by step system for liberating you from your miserable job. The only person that can do that is you. All those trying to sell you "the answer" are selling you their reality, not yours. Think of it as nothing more than case studies. Learn from their mistakes, but at the same time be willing to make the same mistakes in your own context.
The bottom line: define your own criteria, make your own mistakes, harness your own creativity, carve your own path. The new get rich want you to get rich for sure, but only if you get rich following their system (so they have more testimonials to put on their product).
Define your own system and the riches, not just monetary, will flow in abundance to you.
