I do agree with seeing Affliate marketing as a form of lifestyle choice. Not HR to manage, accountings yes, no investors to answer to.

Surely a worthy result to aim for. And yes, the society at large and some people still see a decent job as from nine to five.

There are some really great points being made here, and all in all it is a lifestyle choice. For me I strive towards being the $25 million dollar business owner, but aim to use affiliate marketing to get me to the point, where I can own that. However, I have known many marketers that couldn’t be happier with what they do, lets face it, they make great money, work their own hours and basically do what they want. My advice is to decide what you want in the beginning and focus on working towards that. Great post, this has really got me looking at the bigger picture.

You have to understand , maybe some people have progressed to a level that they think in bigger terms than others, but i do not believe that affiliate marketers think small. Maybe Jason needs to stick to speaking to a crowd at his level, he sure doesn’t appear to be of help to the overall affiliate marketing crowd.

Mike, I also agree with you in that he did make people think bigger. Which is good, assuming you want to “be” bigger in that sense. Not everyone does.

Nice take on the speech. I see the point about affiliate marketing lifestyle. A great attraction for me was no corporate and working out of my laptop. Jason’s speech really made me take a look at where I’m taking my business and what legacy I want to leave. The internet is so much bigger than just our little affiliate piece, and I wonder if we saw the opportunity to really do something great and try to change the world (Mahalo), would we be content to stay with the affiliate lifestyle?

In any case, he got the wheels spinning in my head now.

I agree about the lifestyle thing. Different people just have different motivations in life. I understand Jason’s point and appreciate what he is saying.
