Introduction--

Work Doesn’t Have to Be

Something You Hate. . . . . . . . . . . . .

HOW ARE YOU going to feel come Monday morning? When that

alarm clock goes off, are your eyes going to snap open and sparkle

with enthusiasm? Are you going to head off to your commute with a

spring in your step? Are you looking forward to weeks, months, and

years of that routine?

I really hope you are, but sadly the odds are against it. In fact,

according to one study, almost 60 percent of people around the world

don’t like their jobs!1 And the Conference Board recently recorded

the highest level of job unhappiness among American workers in its

20-plus-year history of doing similar surveys.1

You probably work too much for too little with people you don’t

like doing stuff you don’t care much about. At least part of that

sounds like you, right? I don’t think it’s healthy to spend all your

waking hours working a job you don’t like just so you can get up to

do it again tomorrow. And then to keep doing it forever hoping to

save enough so that you can eventually quit and then do nothing.

Most self-help books focus on changing your attitude, envisioning

abundance, or fixing your relationships. But the real problem is that

most people hate their jobs and don’t have enough money. Most of

us spend more time at work than anywhere else. If you spend any of

your after-hours time watching TV, sleeping, or commuting, that

leaves just a couple of daily hours where your kids, spouse, friends,

hobbies, church, and everything else get any time at all.

So the real issue is your work. Do you love your work? Do you

spend your days doing work you feel you were born to do? Or do you

at least get paid enough to make all the frustrating daily compromises

more than worth it?

If you’re reading this book, I’m betting the answer is no.

You’re here because it’s your career that needs fixing. It’s the 8 to

10 to 14 hours each day you waste just trying to cover your bills and

get ahead a little. You can pursue the Law of Attraction to “manifest

abundance in your life” all you want, but if you’re working a 9-to-5

(or an 8-to-8) job that leaves you unfulfilled, it’s time for a change!

Your job should help you live the life you want, not force you into a lifestyle

you don’t enjoy just to keep your bills paid. Instead, how about building a

lifestyle you like today so you don’t have to postpone so much of

your life until retirement?

Join the Click Millionaires Revolution!

This book shares details of the unprecedented opportunity you have

to (re)design your career and life to achieve financial independence

and success on your own terms. It can help you leave behind many

of the compromises and frustrations that plague corporate life and

start the transition from making your boss rich to enriching your

own life instead.

While the media and many business books assume you need to

be a software geek or a Stanford MBA to “succeed” online, I believe

you already have the credentials you need to build a profitable

Internet lifestyle business based on your own real-life experience

and interests.

I know all this sounds suspiciously “get rich quick” but it’s not.

Through lots of hard work and clever use of the Internet, I have found

this lifestyle and financial success myself and I wrote this book to help

you find it, too. Like my earlier books, Internet Riches and e-Riches 2.0,

this book is filled with specific proven strategies and tools that I have

used personally to build a more prosperous and flexible future.

Here’s the plan for sharing them with you:

Part One: Identify your top lifestyle goals so you can design

them into a new online business.

Part Two: Discover the revolutionary principles behind the

success of Click Millionaire lifestyle businesses so that you can

use them to make money yourself. Plus, learn how to quickly

position yourself as an expert in any field online.

Parts Three and Four: Read inspiring real-life case studies of

successful online entrepreneurs who are living the “Click

Millionaires Lifestyle.” Many of these lifestyle entrepreneurs

have created profitable new products and services of their own,

while others have built successful online businesses by providing

promotional or freelance services to others.

Part Five: Pinpoint a profitable niche business model of your

own that takes advantage of your personal life experience and

interests to make money online.

Part Six: Learn the easiest, fastest, and cheapest ways to build

websites and collect money from your new customers online.

Part Seven: Create an Action Plan for implementing Click

Millionaire lifestyle design strategies and choosing the right

niche business model in your own life so you can get started on

the work you were born to do.

Why Should You Listen to Me?

I grew up on the lower end of middle-class in dangerous and poor

inner-city Detroit, but managed to make myself a millionaire. I

worked my way up with no inside connections or family money, paying

my own way through both the University of Michigan and

Stanford Law School. I earned my first small fortune on Wall Street

and retired for the first time when I was just 25. After I got bored

scuba diving in the islands of the South Pacific, I worked my way to

success again in Silicon Valley and then again in Hollywood, too,

building expertise at starting highly profitable, cutting-edge

Internet businesses.

Now that I am able to spend my time how I want, I want to help

you succeed, too. This book is full of my personal stories and recommendations

so I apologize if it sounds like I’m trying to impress you

or sell you. These personal examples are the best way I know to share

with you my enthusiasm and the benefits of the many lessons I’ve

learned earning my own success online. I want you to know that I

don’t write my books hoping to make money from you by writing

about success I’ve never had myself. I’ve literally traveled the world

to identify the best lifestyle and business opportunities available

today. I’m an active entrepreneur, strategy consultant, and investor

making money from a dozen different website businesses as you read

this. And I donate my book profits to charity to “pay it forward”

helping others to succeed like I have.

I have a popular YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/scottfox1),

Twitter account (www.twitter.com/scott_fox), Google+ (www.scottfoxongoogle.

com) and Facebook pages (www.facebook.com/clickmillionaire),

my Click Millionaires Radio Show podcasts (www.Click

MillionairesRadio.com) and all the other tools online to prove to you

that I know what I’m talking about. Why? Because I want you to

know that I do this stuff myself—I don’t just write about it.

And you know what? It works!

The best of these resources is ClickMillionaires.com. That’s

where we’re building the friendliest and most helpful community

online for people like you who want to build their own lifestyle businesses.

It’s where you’ll find my best blog posts, podcasts, and latest

videos, plus free updates to this book, and where you’ll get to meet

other Click Millionaires from around the world, too. Please come

join the community to become part of our worldwide movement

toward redefining success for ourselves by building ethical, fulfilling

lifestyle businesses online and helping others do it, too.

The New American Dream for You

Today you can do better than trying to work your way up to the corner

office. Building a successful business in your home office can let you enjoy

your work more, worry less about money, spend more time with family,

work on projects you enjoy, and share that success with others, too.

Reading this book isn’t suddenly going to make you $1,000,000.

But reading it will give you the tools to redesign your career and life

like I have. I hope that you enjoy it and that it’s helpful to you in creating

a life you are happier to live.

I would love your feedback, suggestions, and follow-up questions.

What would you like to hear more about? What tips, tricks, tools,

and tactics do you have more questions about? Where do you want

to go next now that you have this new info? How can I help you succeed?

Visit me online so we can work together to help you work less,

live more, and build a meaningful, profitable life that you can be

proud of.
