Blogging your way to wealth

October 21, 2007 – Libby Davy – Print

We have a very holistic approach to blogging here. But that doesn’t mean we don’t like money! As a wonderful Buddhist monk called Geshe Michael Roach (who was also a New York diamond broker) once said to a group of business students I was teaching:

I’ll show you how to make money. Lots of money. But you might like to think about how you make it…. and how you spend it.

Another Buddhist friend of ours, Andrew Black, is one of the world’s top poker players. Highly skilled and impenetrable he is too. Also very mindful of how he makes it, and how he spends it. A very interesting story about “The Monk” by writer Val Blomfield’s son Vishnapani here ;-)

Now where was I… oh yes, making moolah.

Here’s a good blog to help you make it. We’re all for it. Spread it around.

See also the entry on Yaro Starak. There will be loads more on this blog re: SEO, analytics and the like. But what we are really keen to contribute is dialogue around the bigger stuff too.

At what price authenticity and human becoming? Let’s walk the middle path, and die happy with how we made it, and how we spent it.

I love hearing Gra talk about all this. He’s amazing. Gra – please can we have one of your thoughtful posts on why SEO’s gaming Google isn’t quite as cool as some might think it is?

I’m going to get Geshe Michael Roach’s book The Diamond Cutter at last (he gave me the first chapter years ago) and keep exploring.

I’m really keen to integrate my authentic self through the path of blogging and connect with lovely folk who want to share the journey.

If money be a side effect of this process, then so be it.

    The value of meney said someone, is to buy the time to do what you want. I like to see it as a way of measuring how successful I am at achieving my aims. I like teaching and running transformational trainings. I get a great buzz out of it and people come away with even more than they imagined they’d get. So for me money is just one of the many ways of measuring how successful I am doing what I want.

    I’ve been wondering if it is possible to make money on line teaching this transformational stuff. I came across a link to a review of how to make money from teaching:

    Because you are an excellent communicator / coach / consultant / trainer, I’m sure you could be successful online in much the same way as you are “offline” or in person.

Got something to say?
