FBC – 282 – Your chance to join the new rich…

Your chance to join the new rich.

So the first step for you will be starting an affiliate business. Okay. Even if it takes, 10 hours a day or something like that, you know, if it brings you enough money to be able to pay all your bills, for example, if you can pay your bills or car payments, your mortgage, your blah, blah, blah. I mean, that's a huge, huge, huge relief. OK. So that needs to be your objective, to get something started.

Then afterwards, the long term objective is to be able to, you know, work like four hours a week or even less. OK. But that's down the road. You don't need to aim for that in the very beginning.

So I see a lot of people who have the wrong expectations and these expectations are actually going to kill their efforts. Right.

I see people that want to work three hours a week something. And that's their objective. You know, they think that, you know what? It's that easy. You're going to start working three hours a week from day one. No, it's not the case. You'll have to put in some work and then realize that there's some work involved.

So I want you to have the right expectations and to set the right goals. So the first goal for you is get it started. And once it's rolling, then get it to a point where you can work out an hour, two hours, one hour, like half an hour a week or something like that. But the first objective is to get something started, to get a business started.

And the quickest way to get your business started is to use the affiliate channel. Because you don't need to go in and spend years researching the product and stuff like that because the product's already there.

So anyway, if you want to get started on that. I've actually prepared a like a methodology that teaches you everything. So I'm going to give you something that I spent years and years to create and which basically helps you set up everything and you can actually start earning money, like for free.

So I teach you how you can have your landing pages and stuff created for free. I actually give you the funnel. And so the funnel is just like the series of pages and how you can get traffic.

There is nothing better than this. So there is a link inside this podcast. So you click on link and it’s going to take you to a page. Then you enter your email and I will send you the information and then afterwards you can have a look at the actual thing. And it’s a thing of beauty.

The “new rich” only works if you build the system first

The dream sells itself: money that arrives while you sleep, a life that is not chained to a chair. I believe in it because I live it, I run four companies from Bali. But the part nobody puts on the vision board is that freedom is downstream of systems, not the other way around. You do not escape the desk by wanting it harder. You escape it by building the workflows that do the work when you are not there.

I started in 2003 selling DVDs off a server in my closet. Twenty-plus years and 1,500+ automations later, the lesson has not changed: automate the revenue before you book the flight. Zapier's data shows 88% of small businesses say automation lets them compete with much bigger players, and Stripe Atlas is a clean starting point for the boring legal and money foundations. I lay out the full path in my story and across the Freedom by Choice podcast. Join the new rich by earning the systems, then the lifestyle is just a consequence.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the new rich mean for entrepreneurs?

It means founders who optimized for time and freedom instead of net worth. They run smaller, leaner businesses with high cash flow per hour worked. They typically earn 200,000 to 1,000,000 per year while working under 25 hours per week. Net worth comes second to schedule sovereignty.

How do you join the new rich without millions in capital?

Pick a digital model with high gross margin, a tight niche, and one distribution channel. Build to 20,000 dollars per month in profit before adding complexity. The path requires no investors, no team, and no location. It does require boring consistency for 18 to 36 months on a single offer.

What separates the new rich from traditional millionaires?

Time control. Traditional wealth accumulation requires decades of W-2 work, capital allocation, and tax-advantaged investing. The new rich path compresses this by trading total net worth for early time freedom. A new rich operator at 40 has less assets than a corporate executive but more usable hours per year.

What is the biggest risk of pursuing the new rich path?

Lifestyle creep eating the freedom you built. Founders who hit 50,000 per month and then add three contractors, an office, and a brand redesign rebuild a small corporation by accident. The discipline is to keep the cost base low even when revenue can support a larger one.
