But most people just believed it was silly.
You’re just
supposed to accept that work is something you
have to
do
and that
you don’t like.
Well, I found out something interesting. Just because
most people
believed that work was meant to be a chore,
didn’t make it a fact.
It was really an agreement.
So I decided to stop agreeing, and see what happened.
What I found is that most of our ideas of what we think
to be true, are really
assumptions.
If you test those
assumptions, you’ll probably find out something even
more interesting. You can
choose
to design your life in
whatever way you see fit. YOU make the agreement.
In other words, yes, it is possible to get paid to exist. Yes,
it is possible to get paid to be who you are. I know it is,
INTRODUCTION
whAt Is thIs ALL
ABout?
Is it possible to get paid to exist? To live in a way where
you can’t tell the difference between when you’re
working and when you’re playing?
For a long time, I searched for the answer to this
question. And as I searched, it didn’t seem many people
were on my side. Some people believed it was possible
to do what you love, but that meant you had to be broke
or a starving artist. Some believed that it was a life
reserved for the rich minority. And some believed it was
only possible for people born with natural genius or
prodigal talent.

because I’ve done it.
But what
is
“getting paid to exist?” What does that even
mean?
Do I mean getting paid to just be alive? To sit on a couch
all day and watch reruns of
Seinfeld?
Or to lay on a
beach, drinking martinis while rubing cocoa butter all
over your body?
No, that’s not what I
mean. And honestly,
while that might
be fun for a couple
of weeks, you’d
That is what
Getting Paid to Exist
is all about. It’s about
getting paid to be who you are by leveraging your
unique strengths, doing what you love, and finding a way
to channel that so you can provide value to others while
you’re doing it.
I found out a way to do
this for myself, only after
I tested my assumptions
about what I thought was
possible and what was not.
But it wasn’t easy.
See, I knew that this is what I wanted, but I didn’t think
it was possible. I grew up with the idea that work was
supposed to be a grim duty of paying your dues and
makes you come alive, makes you excited, and allows
you to do the things you’re
naturally
good at.
probably get bored with that after a while.
You’d
probably
want something more. You’d
probably
want to make a difference and give other people some
kind of value. AND you would want to do it in a way that

“sucking it up.”
It turns out, not only was that complete bullshit, but
living your life like that is actually a slap in the face to
life itself.
If there is any purpose to life, isn’t it to enjoy it? Isn’t
that the ultimate goal of everything you do?
Your journey will obviously be a little different than
So, wouldn’t it make much more sense to bypass
suffering now (“work”) for happiness later (“living”)?
Wouldn’t it be much nicer if we could just
eliminate
the
problem of “work/life balance?” Wouldn’t it be nice if
you couldn’t tell the difference between when you’re
“working” and when you’re “playing?”
I personally can no longer tell the difference.
I don’t feel a difference between my work on the one
hand and “the rest of my life” on the other. I don’t count
mine. That’s OK. While I think modeling others and
mentorship is a way to fast-track success, I know that it’s
equally important to live on your own terms. That’s the
whole point of getting paid to exist, anyway.
It’s your
game.
You design it and you decide how it’s played.
If this sounds interesting to you, I’d like to show you how
I created a life where I “get paid to be me.” I’ll bring you
behind the scenes, tell you my personal story, and give
you a blueprint for how you can do the same in your life.
down the time to five o’clock. I don’t dread Mondays and
I never feel that my weekend was too short.
