The Dot Com Lifestyle

Hey Jon,

2 years ago I worked for a company that sells Kirby Vacuum door to door. There was a lot of money for me but I have to spend about 10 to 12 hours a day working. Im 24 and just started my own company and hoping for day I can have both, time and money. Watching this video really inspired me to work hard now, so I don't have to work hard later. Thank you for sharing,

you know.... I think @johnchow is right : http://www.johnchow.com/the-dot-com-lifestyle/

Very inspiring video... Anyways I found something that could characterize you a bit:

... tell me if you agree :D

IInspired I did my own on a cycle ride through the Swiss mountains... it will be up soon...

The dot com lifestyle is something different for everybody. Only after I started to ignore all the Internet Marketers showing me big cars and houses, and focused on what I wanted to achieve on the Internet, did I begin to focus and make some money.

Everybody needs to evaluate for themselves their own personal goals and avoid being seduced by the claims of others. That's when you begin to travel the road to your own dotcom success.

spot on!

I remember watching this video from corporate and now I have my own full time online business.

John is absolutely right! The freedom is the best part of the lifestyle.

No more meaningless conference calls and mundane work!

Great video and an important message on so many levels. Time is one commodity that is finite and what we should make the most of. In chasing the $$ and purported dot com lifestlye people forget that.

I couldn't agree more. Nice video.
I'm a bit young to experience everything and make a conclusion out of it, but no doubt you're almost at the end of the path that I want to take.

I agree with ya John.
Dot Com lifestyle is about freedom, not the money.
The freedom you get from doing what you love
and enjoying life with no corporate BS to nag ya.

That was a great video. Everyone always dreams of the fast life with amazing adventures when people talk about making money online. In reality it is the "normal" daily events and time that you achieve when you make a living online.

That is 100%, Dot Com lifestyle is good, but you need to find a good partner that understand our life.

Hey John, thanks again for this valuable post and interesting video.

It is the beauty of the Dot Com World that can give you freedom both in time and money. However, as you mentioned, you need to first change your mindset in order to achieve good results online.

You see, it is not the fancy cars, big houses or luxury travels as the result of Internet Lifestyle. Rather, it's about buying time, the most valuable thing in your life.

Enough time for spending the money you make with your family is the ideal goal of this lifestyle. So, next time, before we want to contribute to our online projects such as websites and blogs, we should take that fact into account.

This post is really something that makes us think more about our positions and efforts. I really liked this idea.

John, thanks again and keep up the great work!

Hope Everyone Achieve That Desired Lifestyle!

Hello John Chow.....

One thing is for certain: You are a real person, no fakes here.... no professional camera....you used your own camera for this video...and I truly believe you have good intentions. Our society sure does think and act strange sometimes doesn't it??

I am considering using my politically charged blog for adsense...but how would this work??? I am not entirely sure that I can due to already having adsense attached to my pokemon blog......Please help and keep up the realistic truths in life and not fake, bogus, liars and cheaters...

Great "Job" pun intended.

Hi John...greetings from Indonesia, that is a really nice video..and I think I want to write about you and that video in my blog..it will be a good inspiration...
Many of newbie in Indonesia just like me running an internet business..but many of them also trapped on the "money orientation only"..your video tells me...how wise you are as a succesful blogger..thanks John

John,

You are completely right on working ungodly hours and not being able to spend time with your family, spend your money and enjoy your life. I would much rather make less money so that I can relax and take advantage of the time that I have doing the things that I like.

Fantastic video John - it's what I aspire to. Many people I speak to are in it for the money - the money is very nice by-product - I blog because I want to help as many people as possible.

Great vid John, have had this blog bookmarked for a while now and I plan to one day devote a good number of hours on it!:)

I too have a daughter and I totally get what you mean about spending time with them while they're still young...

I do the same thing: despite having a career now, I did take time out to spend with her when she was little and still do, I squeeze in quality time whenever we can...
I totally get the whole going to the park, feeding the birds, aquariums, museums, galleries - we've done it all over the past 5 years! Nothing as rewarding!

I'd drop my job at the drop of the hat but gotta pay the bills, I hope to achieve financial freedom some day...

All the Best!

10 reasons why I love my Internet marketing business:
1. There is no glass ceiling to my income and I can reach a worldwide market even though I am conducting my business sitting at home in my underwear.
2. My business runs 24/7, 7 days a week.
3. It is a low cost business with high profit margins.
4. My business is self-generating and automated, making me money while I sleep and go on holidays!
5. I am in control of my own time and income.
6. The small and close-knit industry is filled with interesting and cool people who have generated millions online and are willing to help you (if you ask them correctly)!
7. I get to sleep late and wake up at noon.
8. There is no inventory as all my products are digital.
9. I am still doing what I love, which is writing!
10. It is an underground industry and I love the confused look on people's faces when I tell them what I do!
Haha!

John,

Hats off to you my friend - this is a fantastic video that shows in impeccable clarity the fundementals of veing successful online.

Free time, having money but NOT chasing it - and LIFESTYLE.

And PS your blog is the best I have seen online - superb (and a great daughter too :)) keep well and my regards to you and your family.

The rise of internet and ecommerce provided a lot of opportunities to many young entrepreneurs even as young as 13. All it takes ia that one great idea and a lot of determination. The Dot Com is really an avenue for passive income.

HAHA... youre a funny guy John. I think you live one of the best lifestyles available, however some people get a kick out of working if they are doing what they personally love to do. For instance, I would study personal finance and investments all day long if I got payed to do it. It's like sex to me.

Time and money: two things that we aspire to have a lot of. I work at home and hold a full-time job. I'd like to make the same amount of money that I make now in half the time. Indeed, there's more to life than work. I'd like to spend more time with the people I love and care about. I'd like to put my relationships at the top of my list of priorities. Thanks for posting the video, John.

I'm going to start my Dot Com lifestyle tomorrow! aawwoooooo!!! Today is my last day working at the office, beating the rush our... starting tomorrow I'm gonna spend more time with my dogs... sharing knowledge abt dogs on my new blog!!!

Hey John,

What a Great Name you Have !!!

Oh and by the way, your BLOG is Sweet !!!
Hope to get my blog to your level one day :)

"I blog because I hate rushhour" LOL :lol: :lol:

Oh John, so true ;).

I cant say any additional, you're so right. Thats why we do it, to have money but what is more important to have the time to enjoy our life and to spend the money in a good way.

Keep on posting such stuff! Just great!

Hey John!

Our babies truly are the best reason! I will think of you this week when we are hanging at the park :razz:

Much love!

Normally john i just skim past your posts on google reader, but this one caught my eye and i watched it all the way through.

I am 16, and i am going to college soon to study a 2 year it course (4 days a week). In this time i want to establish an online website that runs itself and brings in money to have a relaxed lifestyle.

:)

Hi John! I'm a feed reader and don't usually comment but I just had to stop in and say that your daughter is beautiful! :)

It's really nice to see a video about John.

Thanks for sharing the video.

Cheers,

Nice video, and thanks for sharing it.

Whoa! Amazing. I agree with everything John Chow said in that video. More than agree. Everything from strangers raising our kids, life in the 50's, etc. I think this is why we need some major improvements in our society. For the record, I had some strong disagreements with you last year regarding taxes and how it affects society.

This is the first time that I can say that I saw a complete video from you and is amazing. God bless your family specially Sally.

That is a Dot Com Lifestyle!

I hope to achieve this myself. I would love making 40k a month blogging and just spending time with family. Hopefully I can achieve this in the future. I am 15 years old and really think if I stick to the internet it could bring a good future to me. Great video JC!

John,
Not one to comment often but this video really hit home. I have a son same age as your daughter and I could not agree with you more. I turned down an extra mid six figures a year last week because they wanted me to manage employees and I am sure it would require some very long hours. Your video reinforces my decision.

Cheers

Great video, I think it's something everyone wants more of time with their family, and is something for everyone to aspire to. Great work John, keep enjoying your DOTCom Lifestyle

The hard part is balancing both situations. You can't just start off making good money off the internet overnight in most cases. So working a full time job and balancing a family and a web site/affiliate programs can be a hard task. Most people give up without even putting forth a good effort.

I agree with you. It's amazing how times have changed & the woman is no longer the only one who stays at home with her child/ren. Good for you.

haha u threw me for a loop there john, i WAS expecting fast cars, traveling and fine dining, hehe. but u kno wat, this really tops them all doesn't it? sharing a nice quiet afternoon with ur little girl at the part...life is sweet when u have time and $$

Good video. Time and money...true

Great video, and very inspirational.
Money isn't everything, and I think you show that in your video.

I think you've summed up what the American dream is all about.

Nicely, stated.

Very nice video that should inspire many to work towards cubicle freedom!

Great post John. A wise professor of mine said that you should always listen to nature.

Awesome, keep them coming John.
