			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I caught a webisode of David Heinemeier, partner at 37Signals who talks about making money via online means.</p>
<p>He speaks on the Googles, YouTubes and Facebooks of the world and how they are the rare breed of today. Realistically, he focuses on making $1,000,000 first, and retaining your life &#8211; rather than selling out and losing everything. Some billionaires really aren&#8217;t that happy at all&#8230; true?</p>
<p>Makes me self-actualize and think about where I&#8217;ve come over the last 9 years of building <a title="Integricity - Digital Interactive Agency" href="http://integricity.com" target="_blank">Integricity</a> as a digital interactive agency and where I&#8217;d like to go from here. Perhaps you should take some time out, sit beneath a coconut tree and restrategize the next part of your business-life.</p>
<p>David goes on to calculate that a million dollars can be derived in a year from 2,000 customers x $40 x 12 months. (He&#8217;s a little short on $1 mil in his calculations, but I&#8217;ll overlook that). It&#8217;s far easier to accomplish this feat, than to build a single Facebook sized web property.</p>
<p>So, you don&#8217;t have to be a superhuman to earn a decent wage.</p>

<p>(It take about 30 minutes to go through this, but it&#8217;s a good watch)</p>
