Working on Stuff That Matters

Posted: 30 Sep 2010 05:16 AM PDT

Last week I was browsing around the web and I came across this very interesting post from Tim O’Reilly, titled Work on Stuff that Matters.

It came in a good time because most of my current projects are virtually completed (i.e., my main blogs are big enough to walk alone, and the training material on Online Profits is pretty much done, so I just need to assist members on the private forum there). This means that I am starting to consider what to do next, and Tim’s post made me stop and think for some time.

First of all here is his definition of what is “stuff that matters”:

  1. the project must be more important than money to you
  2. you must create more value than you capture
  3. it must help to build a better place for everyone and not just for you

The concept resonated with me, and I even created a small exercise to help me (and you) explore what kind of projects might be “stuff that matter” to me (you).

Suppose that your next project is going to be a home run no matter what. It’s going to be very successful, and it’s going to bring you all the money you need to live comfortably for the rest of your life. Under this scenario, what project would you pick?

For instance, if you decide to launch a porn website, it’s going to be hugely successful and make you rich. Similarly, if you launch a website to help people from around the world to get access to higher education online it’s also going to be hugely successful and make you rich.

Get the point?

Now I am not advocating we should all start building non-profit organizations or become philanthropists. But many people end up pursuing the porn venture (in the abstract sense, not literally) because of the monetary aspect, when the other project would make them a lot more proud and happy (not to mention it would have a more positive impact on society).

What do you think?

Finally, you've found a website that gives HONEST information about making money on the Internet, and shows you how to avoid the common Internet money making scams that are plaguing cyberspace. If you're looking for a get-rich-quick scheme, you won't find any information like that here. There's no such thing as "getting rich quick" on the Internet and if anyone has told you it's possible, they're lying to you. After earning a nice income on the web since 1998, I can show you what works and what doesn't. These articles below will provide good insight on how to experience your own online success. Enjoy.
