I am Dylan the Lazy Ass Millionaire and here is my story... |
So I grew up instinctively knowing two universal truths: Money makes life a hell of a lot easier, and working really hard sucks. I often wondered if there was some way I could have a lot of money and an easy life without having to work my ass off, but the more I learned about the world, the more I discovered that, well, it just doesn't work that way. So I went to work. At the age of 16 I landed a job bussing tables at a local pizza place. Soon I moved on to floor sales at a high-end luggage store. Then it was delivering sandwiches. I could go on, but I'll save you the agony of reliving my failures and move on. When I left for college, my parents gave me a computer. It was the early 90s, and there weren't too many kids who had their own PC. I spent more time playing computer games than I spent studying, and I idolized guys like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates, who'd both used computer technology to become filthy rich. But to my surprise nobody else seemed to think computers were very cool. I was ostracized and shunned from social activity, labeled a "computer nerd." By the end of the semester, I'd had enough of my fellow students and enough of school. I dropped out, picked a city out of a hat, and left to recreate my life. But you need money to recreate your life, and I had zip. My laundry list of mindless, boring jobs continued to grow. For years, I struggled against a current of bad bosses, disgruntled coworkers, and self-entitled customers. I tried hard to move upstream, but always managed to stay right where I was. The newspapers said the economy was booming, but I personally wasn't seeing it. Meanwhile, I spent countless hours chatting online, playing games, and browsing for information on all the places I wanted to visit but knew I never would. I worked for a small accounting firm, and my day was filled with other people's numbers. I drank cheap coffee, wore low-end clothes, drove a bottom-of-the-line car, and dated women who I liked, but who were busy and tired like me. I was constantly undervalued and disrespected, and nobody cared what I thought about anything. I was bottoming out, but I didn't realize it at the time. I convinced myself that I was satisfied, that I was doing the best I could, but in reality, I was just like my parents: miserable. One day a friend of my boss's came by to take us all out to lunch. He was different. He had a level of confidence I didn't even know existed. He didn't swagger through the door like our rich clients did; he breezed. He didn't bear that self-importance that the rich tend to have. In fact, he was both attentive and generous. He took us to the nicest place in the city as casually as if we were driving through at McDonald's. There was absolutely nothing pretentious about him at all, although he seemed wealthy beyond my imagining. I was immediately jealous. Someone asked him what business he was in. "None," he answered indifferently. That was a head-scratcher. Was he a trust fund baby? Had he invented the bendy straw? Where did his money come from? And more importantly, where did his attitude come from? He didn't share it with us that day. Instead, he called me at the office a few days later. There was no small talk, no introduction, just a simple, straight-forward question: "Do you want what I have?" And so began the most life-altering lesson of my life. College had nothing on this guy. The formula he showed me was so mind-boggling that I felt completely overwhelmed. Following him meant taking a risk I'd never faced before, and the complacent, zombie-fied part of my brain that had been running things, screamed at me to run far, far away. I didn't. I jumped. I started making money. Then more money. I tweaked and perfected the system until it ran smoother, and I began really raking it in by doing even less work. I could do it all through the Internet, too, which had already been a huge part of my life. Less than a year later, I quit my job and never looked back. I'd worked hard and gotten nowhere for years, and I had no intention of ever doing it again. Not much later, I bought my first house, then my second. I paid off my sisters' mortgages and bought my parents a new house and new cars. I can satisfy my wanderlust whenever I like - all the trips I've ever wanted to take are achievable at a moment's notice. I throw the best parties in the world, populated by delicious food and beautiful women. The gossip column in my city's paper recently called me a young Hugh Hefner. I don't get up before noon, ever. I have a walk-in freezer dedicated entirely to ice cream. Most importantly, I answer to nobody except myself, which is exactly how it should be. Never again will anybody else decide what I'm worth, or who I am. The best part is, I will never work another day in my life. I'm fulfilling all of my dreams, and I know that I deserve it. I don't know you, but maybe you deserve it too. So without further introduction, let me ask you a simple, straight-forward question: Do you want what I have? Dylan P.S. I'm giving back the same way as my mentor gave to me, by sharing what I know for free. I don't want anything from you except for you to be successful and get the life you really want. P.P.S What I am going to share is easy. But it requires you to first leap. So if you are ready, take the leap by signing up for my free newsletter (you will be very happy you did). |
Believe it or not, I was not always lazy, nor was I always a millionaire. When I was a kid, my family was what my dad called "poor in a rich world." We weren't actually poor, but compared to our neighbors, we were practically hillbillies. My parents worked hard to make a good life for me and my sisters. But they were always tired, always frustrated, and mostly miserable. |
