Nomads Guide to Make Money Online Review - A doppelganger of Little Laurie?

Whoa! This is one of those freaky things that blow your mind when you run across it. Turns out there seems to be a Little Laurie doppelganger hanging out on the beaches of Brazil that does the exact same thing Little Laurie does. I thought I really was a horse of a different color but it turns out there is at least one other horse like me on this rock.

Seems Janet Smith got fed up with the cubicle lifestyle too and was determined to do something that allowed her to travel and work from anywhere in the world. Can’t blame her for that now can I?

Now here is the kicker. She is just 25 years young while moi has a few more years on her. A few years back she knew zip about affiliate blogs and traffic. Nowadays in just a few short years she is kicking some serious affiliate butt with her network of blogs and told The Man to go take a hike. She packed her bags and headed off to Brazil to run her biz.

Above is a shot of one of her favorite places to vacation. Karpathos, Greece

Excellent taste!

Are you getting fed up with working for The Man? Is that cubicle driving you insane? Do you feel like screaming at the top of your lungs and pulling out your hair every day when you show up at the slave rock pile, ahem….cough..cough.. your work place?

I hear ya! Been there, done that. I would puke if I had to do that. I would be physically sick. There’s something about jobs, working for The Man and Little Laurie that do not mix.

I’m going to be gut wrenching honest here. Most folks cannot or do not have the ambition, fortitude, guts, balls, ovaries or burning desire to work for themselves. All they want is the so called security of a job that could be pulled out from under them with a two week notice. Another brutally honest fact is that most folks are lazy as a sloth. They want a push button solution or a magic beanstalk. It just does not work like that. Nothing good ever comes without struggle, a lot of struggle. And sacrifice.

Can you sacrifice now for the next year so you can tell The Man to take a hike? Can you accept there are no guarantees in life, only opportunities? Can you work without supervision, without a slave driver telling you what to do? How’s your imagination? Like that 6 year old you once were or dried and shriveled up like 98% of the people on this rock once they hit 18 or 20. Can you envision the future so clearly in your imagination that it seems more real than what surrounds you at present?

I’m not here to hurt any ones feelings but the vast majority cannot and never will be able to. They remind me of cows that are content to chew their cud. They want the farmer to look after them. It’s peaceful with no risk. Plus, everyone else does it so it has to be right, right?

Are you that one in a 100 or one in a thousand that yearns for freedom? Do you dream about the day the birdcage door will be left open and you will fly away? Does it hurt so bad inside you that cry because it has not happened yet? Are you physically in pain, intense soul burning pain, because you want something so bad but it has not shown up yet? GOOD! Because I was there once and I know once you reach that point it is only a matter of time before your dream shows up in the physical world.

I will present you with an opportunity. What you do with that opportunity is up to you. Most will fail, a few will succeed. Which one will you be?

Is it easy? No. Is it worth it? Yes.

I suppose it all depends on how much you value your freedom. If you value it highly than YOU WILL DO ALMOST ANYTHING (IF NOT EVERYTHING) in order to secure that freedom.

No matter how much you might like Little Laurie if I held you underwater for more than 30 seconds then I can predict that you would DO EVERYTHING in your power to escape my hold on you. Your all consuming desire for air would turn you from a mild mannered, polite, meek soul into a SUPERCHARGED DYNAMO that is willing to DO ANYTHING to grasp air. Including physical harm to Little Laurie if needed. I am not saying you need to physically harm anyone to make your dreams come true. I am saying until you have that BURNING DESIRE inside you for something better, then nothing much presented to you will help you. You don’t have that BURNING DESIRE that is needed to overcome all obstacles in your path.

If you are still reading this far I am going to assume you do have that burning desire. You know the one I am talking about. The one that drives you, the one that consumes you, the one that you think about all the time from the moment you awaken till the moment you fall asleep. In your most private moments you cry because it hurts so bad to be without it. I mean tears rolling down your face bad. It hurts that bad. You wipe your tears away and face the world again with a smiling face but deep down that burning desire is still there. No one understands you. Why can’t you be normal like everyone else they say.

Who wants to me normal anyway? Not me. I’m glad I’m abnormal! If normal means being like the 98%’rs than I’m more than happy to be abnormal.

You see, once you taste freedom you can never go back. I wish I could do some sort of spock mind meld on you and let you experience what it feels like for me. Freedom was my burning desire for so long in my life. Many times I thought I found it but then would shrivel up and blow away. But I didn’t give up. Finally one day it did arrive, JUST LIKE I PICTURED IN MY MIND. I could never go back to the old ways, never. Even though most of those I was raised with are still in their old ways. Unfortunately I had to part company with most of them because the relationship was like oil and water. We both have our separate functions on this rock but we DO NOT MIX.

What I am trying to say is that I can show you the greatest opportunity the world has ever known but if your mind and preconceived beliefs are limited then what good does it do? Your mind will find some way to foul it up or sabotage it to keep you within it’s beliefs of where you should be in the world.

Are you ready to break free? Does your mind know no limits? Are you not afraid of work? Do you not ask for a guarantee in life?

Great! Let’s get started.

One of the biggest things I learned in my life is not to try and reinvent the wheel, but to simply copy success. If I see success I simply copy it with a few of my own twists thrown into the soup. If I see someone making 30K a month I simply copy their method with my unique additions. I have yet to see that fail. But I have seen others when shown an opportunity fail to grasp it or fail to apply themselves. Why is that? Something that works like a champ but when shown to someone else they doubt it or fail to even apply themselves EVEN WHEN THEY SEE FOR THEMSELVES IT IS WORKING FOR ME!!!

I don’t think Janet will mind this. Here is the introduction paragraph to her book. This will let you get inside her mind (and mine!) on her thoughts and lifestyle.

Introduction

Ever since I can remember, I was fascinated by the
idea of traveling the globe and perplexed by the idea of
having a job that tied me to one location. It was depressing
to me; a career was depressing to me. It wasn’t that I didn’t
want to work – it’s just that I wanted to be able to work
where I wanted.

For a while I thought this was some far-fetched
fantasy for kids and that I should snap out of it so I could
return to reality. It was after some major events happened
in my life that I truly realized that life is short and reality is
what you make it. At that point, I began sculpting my
reality into what it is today.

This started as a guide for me, some close friends, and
any members of my family who were actually interested in
my never-ending quest for a way to make money online
that wouldn’t tie me down to a particular location. I have
literally become obsessed with the idea. Some of my family
got disgusted with me and labeled me an idealist who
would never escape the rat race along with the best of them.
Rather than giving in to the generally accepted notion
that having a location-dependent job is the only way to earn
an honest living and lead a fulfilling life, I decided to seek
my own path that would earn me an honest living remotely
and give me the freedom to go where I please. There really
was no compromise (seriously), and I don’t at all miss or
long for an office job that confines me to a cubicle all day.

I’ve been through it all up to this point: 5 years of
university studies all in preparation to find a job (not for the
love of learning), a very short stint at a 9 to 5 cubicle job,
and self-employment for 2 ½ years… It was only after I
realized that each of those three things was simply a
variation of the others that I was finally able to open my
eyes and strive for the life I have always insisted upon: a
life free from debt, jobs, set locations, and confinement.

I didn’t intend for this to turn into a book, but after a
few friends coaxed me, I went along with it. And I’m glad I
did; the feedback from the trial version of this book was
tremendous. My friends told me this book would change
peoples’ lives. I hope they’re right. I hope you feel like a
whole new world (literally) has been opened up to you by
the time you finish reading this book.

What is a Digital Nomad?

I knew with all my heart and soul that I was a digital
nomad, even before the official term existed. So what is it,
you ask? A digital nomad is a traveler who makes money
online while traveling or living where he or she pleases.
They could pack it all up anytime they want (or stay for a
while) and still make money the same way: online. For a
digital nomad, the world is their office. And the world is
their playground. For me, it’s a dream come true. For my
son, it is becoming the key to him understanding culture,
diversity, and how to get along with people.

Being a digital nomad doesn’t mean that I don’t work; I
work all the time – just never in the same spot. And it
doesn’t mean I move from place to place all the time; I
don’t. Mostly I take lots of mini-vacations.
I never said making money online and being able to live
anywhere gives anyone the right to be lazy (quite the
opposite). In fact, it may take a bit more discipline and hard
work than normal to sustain a lifestyle like this. Please keep
in mind that this is not a walk in the park (ESPECIALLY at
first!).

I love the fact that I stay mostly anonymous with my
online endeavors (Nope, my name isn’t really Janet
Smith!). It gives me the money I want without the normal
popularity hassles that usually come with having money
and being an “online celebrity”. I like my peace. Also, I
like the fact that I don’t have to deal with the normal
problems one faces in the traditional workplace. I hate the
rat race and I will never go back to it.

If you hate the rat race as much as I do, then this system
I am about to show you is definitely something you need to
try with all your heart. If you put all your efforts into it,
those efforts will pay off. Also, it’s something you can start
doing at home in your spare time while you’re still working
at your job. Many of us have families and can’t jump into
something with full force when we have mouths to feed.
This method allows us to ease into our freedom without
giving up our jobs before we’re ready.

You have your own reasons for being here, so I will
leave you with your thoughts. I’ll stop there and cut to the
chase as I’m sure that’s what you want me to do. I’m sure I
don’t need to continue attempting to convince you how
spectacular and realistic this all is.

With that said and no further ado I want you to click the link below and read the rest for yourself.

Do You Have A Dream Inside You That Hurts So Bad Because It Has Not Happened Yet?

Do you know what burning desire is? Have you ever wanted something so bad you were in pain? I mean pain in the worst way. Your soul was consumed by a dream. That’s all you ever thought about, it’s all you ever wanted, it’s what you think of when you awaken and it’s what you see when you drift off to sleep.

Walk up to anyone and ask them what their innermost all consuming burning desire is. More than likely all you will get in return is a blank stare. See, most don’t have one. Yea, they have 8 or 9 tiny wishes maybe but they don’t have that BIG ALL CONSUMING DREAM that burns so hard inside them it makes them cry in private moments because they want it so bad. So bad. English words are impossible to use to describe the feeling. There are no words in English to describe it. That all consuming fire, that all consuming desire, that all consuming dream that burns a hole in your heart so big it feels as if you are dying from lack of air.

I think that is the best way to describe it. Imagine if someone held you underwater, they are choking you and holding you down below the surface, with every second a pressure is building up inside you, something so strong that you will do anything and I mean anything to get air.

I remember as a young girl I heard someone say “When you want your dreams as bad as you would want air if held underwater then you will have them”. I didn’t understand that till a little later. But once I got the hang of it I knew it was true. I can’t tell you what your dreams are. If I told you mine you would probably laugh. You see, dreams are only important to the dreamer. I have had dreams come true that took 8 years to happen. And that was one of my dearest dreams. Once I casually mentioned it to a so called friend. She did not know it’s importance to me or how long it took to achieve. Her reaction was like “That’s cool, now what movie should we go see”. EXCUSE ME! Now do you see why you must, YOU MUST, keep your innermost burning desire dream a secret? Other people, even when well meaning, just do not place a high value on yours. Most of the time, if not all the time. Keep it a secret. Keep the fire inside you. When it does come true don’t expect pats on your back.

See, my dream was not done for applause. My dream that I carried for 8 years was done because that’s all I ever wanted. I did not expect applause or public approval. In fact I seriously doubt 98% of the people on this rock would even approve of my dream. But it was what I wanted, not them. I never had a doubt it would come true. I saw it finished every single day in my mind. I saw myself doing it every day when I closed my eyes for a few minutes. It was a fire inside my soul that consumed my very being. I’ll tell you one thing. That burning fire inside sure wasn’t going to happen if I worked inside some crazy office environment with all the petty politics.

I wish there was some way I could reach out and touch you and let you feel for 15 seconds that intensity that drove me. That consumed me. That pushed me on when all others turned back. Have you ever felt it? If you have there is no way to miss it. It’s not something like wanting a pickle from the fridge, it’s more like wanting air when held underwater for 3 minutes. Even then you would have to multiply that by 100 times to even come close to it. Burning desire? Close, but 1,000 times past that. See, in English there is no word for what I am trying to explain. Sure there are a few that kind of come close but the feeling I am describing is beyond words, it’s something else, it comes from somewhere else, some other place I cannot describe, a place where your dream does exist right this second. Is that so strange? Could there be a place that exists right now where your dream has already happened? In that place your dream is living, it’s real, as physical as this world. Yet that dream has not passed into this physical form world yet. Yea, now we are getting into metaphysics, physics and quantum physics. Are you ready?

For advanced as this rock is, or thinks it is, discoveries that stagger the mind have yet to reach physical form in this world yet. Let’s call it at 1/10 of 1% of what so called science has discovered yet. The other 99.9% has yet to be discovered. For all the glitz and glamor of technology this rock is as backwards and unevolved as an amoeba is to a physicist. Oh yes, this rock likes to think of itself as evolved, saintly, kindly with powerful technology. That’s because they cannot see anything else. If you only heard one radio station on a busted radio you would swear only one radio station exists. Anyhoos, this is getting a little deep. Maybe this is one for next time. Most people are not heavy into this. Quantum physics. Those guys are going places. The old guard has left and the new guard is coming up. Are you familiar with quantum physics and the numerous postulations? Can the mere act of observance or thought affect something that is not there? Can your thoughts affect something that you cannot see? Something you cannot bang with a hammer. You know those scientists always want something that they can bang on. If they cannot bang on it then it is not real. It’s only real when you can bang on it or capture it inside a jar. That is where scientists and Little Laurie part ways.

What if your thoughts do affect “something else” “somewhere else”. Is that so hard to see? Does a shortwave released in Texas affect a receiver 8,000 miles away? Think about it.

What will light your fire? What will turn it into an all consuming, raging bonfire deep within your heart? What?? I know what does for me but you must figure what works for you. I can’t tell you. I can’t sell you it. It has no price tag nor a name. It’s something you must look deeply within for. It’s not something that can be bought and traded for at wal-mart. It’s “something” deep, deep inside you waiting to get out, waiting to be released, waiting to take physical form. See, I’ll let you in on a little secret. This was never taught to you in schools or college. You won’t find it on tv or in newspapers. Your friends don’t know about it. Your parents don’t know about it. Very few on this rock do. Ready? Really ready? Then hang on.

The burning, all consuming intense desire you feel inside you for something IS REALLY THAT OBJECT ITSELF TRYING IT’S BEST TO REACH YOU IN THIS PHYSICAL WORLD. It wants to reach you just as bad as you want it. It just has not “formed” yet into this physical world.

Think about this very seriously. Look all around you right now. Stop reading this right now and look around the room you find yourself in. Look and observe every single object in that room as if it was the very first time you are seeing them. Finished? Good. Everyone single one of those objects you observed in your room moments ago at one time were only an image in someones mind. Every one of them bar none. First the thought or image, then the manifestation into physical. Every inventor in the world knows this simple fact. Now you do too. Every inventor in the world lives in the world I speak of. He or she visits that world in their mind and brings back objects they find. Every inventor. Do you think an inventor first saw a zipper in a store window then he/she invented the zipper?

I wish I could tell you what will create that fire deep within you. I really do. But it’s different for everyone. If I told you what creates my fire you would laugh at me I guarantee it. That’s why I have always kept it a secret. My fire starter will not work for you. You have to, you got to find it on your own. I discovered mine when I was around six or seven. It drove me everyday. I’ve thought about it ever since. It took a long time but it did arrive, when the majority said to forget about it and give up. See, what you will be doing most likely will not win you many votes. It won’t win you applause most likely. It will win your dreams and that matters most. What is your dream? What one thing deep inside your heart do you want to accomplish before you die? What is it that tears your soul apart because it has not happened yet. What do you think about for 18 hours a day? What do you dream about in your private moments when you close your eyes? What makes you cry in your most private moments because it has not happened yet? What is it that you think of the very moment you awaken? What is it that you dream about at night? 7 days a week, 12 months out of the year? What is it? Don’t you know?

My dream came true about 27 years ago. Since then I keep replacing that one all consuming dream with new ones. When those come true I will in turn replace them with others till the day I die. I have lots of little dreams but I always have that one great big dream that is so big it would scare most people. So big that most would laugh it off as ridiculous to even contemplate. Keep your dream to yourself. Nurture it deep inside. Tell no one. Not even your spouse, your parent or your best friend. Surprise them when it happens if you so see fit. But be warned, most will likely yawn when told. That’s why it is so very important to keep it deep within yourself and stoke the fires yourself.

Here’s one of my fighting songs. Who knows, it may fit you. Listen to the lyrics very closely.
