You May Never Retire, So Start An Internet Business Now

I've got an important story for you today. And it has to do with your idea of retiring someday. It all started last week when I went for a massage. But this one was different. Because it made me think about my clients. Specifically what separates the successful Internet business owners from those that are always struggling.

I had not met the massage tech before that was working on me this day. She noticed how tense my muscles were and asked me if I worked in an office. The way I was all knotted-up was typical for someone who spends a lot of time at a computer. We started talking about what I do in my Internet business, how much I work and how I still make time for fun stuff and family time. She couldn't understand how I could run a business and find time for personal activities.

I get this a lot when explaining the realities of Internet business. When people find out about my work load and my lifestyle, it doesn't make sense to them. I was curious about my masseuse's work schedule and off time, and we started talking. I was shocked when I heard how she lives her life.

GP had been working seven days a week for the past 6 months with no days off and no vacations. At first I thought I had misheard her, but I hadn't. Six massages a day, day in and day out, for over 180 days straight. She's making six figures - but she's living her life based on a faulty assumption I see Internet business entrepreneurs making far too often.

Look, even though I'm only 36 years old, I've already retired twice. Yet, today I am typing this note to you from my office surrounded by 12 exceptional employees. What happened? Why the hell am I still working in an Internet business? The reason I work today is: the whole concept of retirement is fundamentally flawed.

The traditional way of working like crazy until you're 65 just isn't realistic. In fact, it really does not work, unless you're happy sitting in a chair watching TV for 20 years. If you take the time to look at what happens to people that are considered to be in their prime, that prevents them from making it to a typical retirement age, you'll get a big wake up call.

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.

Many financial and retirement experts agree with this new reality, that most people you know will have to continue working when they reach the traditional age of retirement. You may not like how this sounds, but I encourage you to take it to heart. And consider this viewpoint that the entire idea of retirement is flawed.

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.
