Home | Business | Entrepreneurs The masseuse - I'll call her GP for short - discovered a big knot in my shoulder and asked me if I work in front of a computer. I said I did and I'd been spending a lot more time typing than I usually do. The conversation drifted to how many hours a week I work, what I do in my Internet business, and what I do on the weekends. When she heard how much time I took out of my schedule for fun and time with my family, she was surprised at how I'm able to squeeze in everything. Her response was not unusual at all. In fact, whenever I explain my schedule I'm always greeted with envy first, followed quickly by confusion, then wonder at how I'm able to live my life so well. Being polite, I asked GP about her schedule. Her answer absolutely horrified me... I was sad to find out that she rarely takes a day off. In fact, she hasn't had a day off for over 6 months. And she does six or seven massages a day, every day. Even Sundays. She's making some good money, but I see that she's making a monumental mistake when it comes to how she thinks about life. And she's not the only one. I see it every day, from people that work at a job and even small business and Internet business owners. See, I've tried retirement already... twice actually. But I have an Internet business that I work in regularly. I have a great team behind me, and I really don't have to work. But I do work, and some people really wonder why. Well, it's because I don't agree with how people view the whole idea of retirement. The idea that you should sacrifice the best years of your life hoping to discover magical happiness in your later years doesn't prove out at all. It's just an old-fashioned theory you've been sold. And all you have to do is look around to prove to yourself how unrealistic it is. Here's a dose of reality for you. Most senior citizens can't retire. They have to keep working because what they get from the government doesn't go as far as it used to. And just because you work somewhere that gives you a company pension doesn't mean the pension fund is going to be there when you need it. And that also goes for good old social security, my friend. For example, Doug Lockwood from Harbor Lights Financial thinks there will never be another group of seniors that can really retire. People are going to have to work to support themselves, no matter how old they are. Sounds scary, I know. But it's the new reality when it comes to retirement. But what's even worse is this sort of "hoping it will be better later" dramatically decreases the likelihood you'll ever achieve the success you desire. You need to think about the answers to these questions as you go through your day... What if you could never retire? What if the way you choose to work today would set the pattern you must continue until the day you die? What would you be doing differently now? Well, I have four words for you to consider... start an Internet business. Article Source: http://www.articlewheel.com
