I have five daughters. That can mean only one
thing: I have seen Finding Nemo about 843 times.
Listeners of my podcast know I can't stand Crush the turtle. He talks like a surfer dude. He's just so laid back, unproductive, and unambitious, I just want to wring his stupid neck.
He's one extreme.
The other extreme involves acting as if work for its own sake is meritorious, such that the more unpleasant and time-consuming your work is, the closer you are to living a life you can be proud of.
But that can't be right, either.
I've said it before: I think musicians and other entertainers become leftists in part because they believe this nonsense about work, which in turn makes them feel guilty about how relatively painless their own work is. (Great musicians work very hard, to be sure, but see if any of them would rather dig ditches and you get my point.)
I once bought the rights to resell a course someone produced on various technical
issues people need to know if they want to start online businesses. It's a great course, much better than I could have produced myself, and the creator willingly sold me the rights.
I've recouped that investment 440 times over. No exaggeration.
I do not reproach myself for not having created the course myself; why on Earth should I? And I'm not ashamed of my earnings on it: I brought a
course none of my readers knew about to their attention, and they benefited from it.
A two-time guest on my podcast has created many products (I own them all and love them) and written countless promotional messages to sell them.
When he said I could sell them (and even use his promotional messages, if I wanted to) and keep all the dough as if they were my own, I of course accepted. Again, why not?
The guy is 100% legit, as my PayPal account can attest.
And this arrangement saved me thousands of hours of effort and a huge investment of cash -- not to mention my mental health.
(And it was one of the most
lucrative things I did in 2017.)
If you can figure out a way to profit (ethically, of course!) from something that already exists, rather than reinventing the wheel yourself, you've harnessed one of the miracles of the Internet -- miracles almost nobody knows about.
How'd I do it?
