Nice to hear that there are SBIers in Croatia too! All the best with your SBI adventure, Irena.

Absolutely agree on everything said.
I am a lawyer, love my job, but I became obsessed with site building. Sometimes I think I could spend days behind my computer. I just hope that one day I will be able to quit my job for one reason only – to do what I really fell in love with – thanks to SBI!

As far as money is concerned, we from countries like Croatia (I am from Zagreb) and Slovenia need far less to quit our daily jobs, then our friends from Western countries, and that is our biggest advantage concerning internet marketing.

Love your posts, and if you ever come to Zagreb…
Maybe some day we could arrange some SBI meeting there..Who knows!

See ya!

Hi Tomaz, great post. I think 80K would make me very comfortable, and not feel so stressed out. Right now my day job earns me 65K a year, and I don’t feel like I am living that well. I do live in Toronto, which is a more expensive center.

I see that you are like Ken in that you strive to do more with yourself. You already have 3 websites. You probably could have stopped at 2. Thanks for pointing out what you think is important in life.

Thanks, Conor!

I’ve noticed two extremes when talking about money with people; either they see something bad about it (rich bastard) and then block themselves consciously and subconsciously from earning more or they are crazily obsessed and try to improve their low self-esteem through accumulating more and more money which of course doesn’t work and they still feel the deep hole inside of them.

I am trying to find a healthy view on the money; that it’s not a bad thing, that money can buy some things that really do improve the quality of life (like my new 50” plasma tv ) but that it cannot solve your life’s problems and it definitely cannot fulfill you with that internal happiness feeling that we get when we do something well and of course serve other people.

Hey Tomaz,
Just wanted to say thank you for this article and everything else you’ve written as well. I really agree that money is only one part of the equation, and I have discovered something that I love building websites, which makes me just as happy.
Thanks again.
Cheers
Conor

I think a good income in the western world is $10k a month. A nice number that allows you to save and invest and even give to your favorite non-profit.

You’ll even have enough left over to buy a current model Honda Accord, a decent home in the midwest or south parts of the U.S and go skiing up North once a year.
