Hey Glen, just wanted to wish you a belated happy birthday and wish you well for the future. I can see another ‘ZenHabits’ story coming soon It’s taken me three years to get 3600 subscribers and you surpass that in a year, great going.

Hey Glen,

Love your blog. Looking forward to reading Cloud Living. Being almost twice your age, I can honestly say that I wish I had figured things out at your age. Life is an amazing gift to be truly lived everyday. Savor the present because you only get it once.

Hope Amsterdam is everything you want it to be and more!

Cheers,
Stephen

Hey Glen – Congrats on such tremendous success with this blog and a very Happy Birthday to PluginID! I still remember when you first commented on one of my posts back in 2007 and then when you launched this site. It’s been a delight to read and learn from your perspectives ever since.

Good luck with Amsterdam project.. looking forward to the results.

If you read the guide, in the first few pages I mention how this site makes me the least money, yet I spend 90% of my time on it. That’s because I love giving value and what I do.

I don’t love setting up small minisites that sell products, but they make me money.

No I have not read anything by Ayn Rand but I have ‘The Fountainhead’

I don’t really know. Yeah I think I would help them a bit.

But I would rather spend my time doing what I love which is developing video games

But who knows …

Look – I am interested in your motivation.

You say that they needed money and that is why you helped them.

So your motivation is other people’s need?

You read Ayn Rand?

Let’s say you were making a lot of money online

Would you like to teach your brother, sister, cousin (whoever?) the same? Let’s say they were in dead end jobs or needed more money…what about now.

Well, that is my situation. I created an original guide (as you will see in the post) to teach my friends in south africa how to make a living online. Then i expanded it on there.

Whether I get ‘gratification’ is irrelevant. It helps people. Fact. (Oh and whether I get gratification, who knows…maybe on some ridiculously deep level)

Nobody needs to do anything

Nice. I also started a bog recently.

But I have one question to you Glen. You say that you share your wisdom. Thats okay I do the same thing.

And then you said that you share it because you like helping people and sharing….

You like the gratification of helping people?

Somehow I do not understand it.

I am not financially abundant (yet) and I only share my value because I want money out of it in some distant point in the future …

But maybe my viewpoint will change when I am financially abundant… but now I think I will stop helping and sharing if I have enough money!

So are you in it for the money ? Or does it really make you happy to share?

And what part of you does it make happy? Is it maybe just a new trick of the ego? Do you really need to do this?

Thanks

Michael
