Can You Make Money Online? Be A Lazy Broker!!

Can we agree that most of us are lazy? Can we? Come on let's face it. There are very few of us who are even willing to break sweat if we don't have to and that's the whole point of what I am trying to say.
Being lazy is only a matter of having to do those things we don't want to do, rather than choosing the things we do want to do.
Take my brother-in-law for example; he's a sports nut, the sort who takes part for real, not just watching on TV. Golf, running, tennis, the gym he really goes for it.
Jerry is one of those super-charged, high energy, executive types with a super-charged, high energy, executive career, in a super-charged, high energy, banking corporation.
He gets up at 5 a.m. to run in the park, arrives at his desk by 8.00, plays a set of tennis at lunchtime, gets home about 7 p.m. before going to the gym in the evening.
Between all this adrenaline fuelled activity he buys Yen, sells Euros and hedges funds (I think!), as some kind of a financial broker.
Me? I'm a much more relaxed kind of guy; I like the movies, art galleries and the theatre. I get up for breakfast with the rest of the family, shower and maybe take the kids to school.
I usually pass the rest of the morning at our neighborhood coffee shop, reading the newspapers or catching up on correspondence if we have just been away on vacation.
The afternoon is either spent with my wife, planning our next project or working on one of the classic cars I like to restore. In many ways Jerry and I couldn't be more different but, apart from my sister, there is one other vital thing we do have in common. In order to enjoy the things we like, we have to pay for our lifestyle choices.
Jerry does it the same way he does everything else, high octane and high energy with a highly paid job which just about supports his high overheads.
By the time he has paid for the townhouse, the medical insurance and the rest of their expensive overheads including the country club fees, golf, tennis and gym memberships AND the credit card bills, he needs to get back on the treadmill of high finance.
Now I wasn't born rich with a huge trust fund or anything like that so I knew that I had to find a way to live the comfortable and relaxed life I wanted and for me the internet was the answer to my prayers.
I knew that with the right help and support I could earn my living online.
I have to make one thing clear though and that is that anyone who tells you that making money online is easy, especially when you start, is pulling the wool over your eyes. It isn't easy; but with the right tools and information it can be a lot easier than most people would think.
In fact, when you make money online for the first time you'll be blown away by the relative simplicity of it all. I mean when you compare it to the hassles of having a job, or as I call it, Just Over Broke, well, there is no comparison.
So I've told Jerry about a lazy way he can still be a broker, keep the townhouse and the insurances, keep all the trappings of his lifestyle including my sister, who incidentally has almost forgotten what he looks like, and have plenty of time to enjoy them all.
I gave him a private website address and said to him, "There is only one real difference between people who make serious money in their lifetime, and those who go from day to day wondering how to pay for a mountain of bills.
It isn't talent, and in this case it isn't financial clout or experience, it is the willingness to try something. There's nothing to lose so take a look and give it a try."
Now it's up to him. If he wants to live life at 100 mph, if all that sweat and toil is what turns him on and makes him happy, that's fine, that's his choice. Me? I'm a lazy broker.
