Rich or Famous

Rich or Famous? You ask yourself this question because you are wondering what to strive for. I see two options you are at the beginning of a road that is supposed to bring wealth/fame or the stage you are in now predisposes you to seriously think about one or the other. The question is why not both at once?

If you approach an average person on the street and ask them what they prefer be rich or fame, you will get in over 90 cases out of 100 answers: rich. But is it really a real version of what these people feel?

It’s hard to admit the vanities that direct their actions towards fame. On this blog I try to show ways to earn, in some posts shows the ways in which I earn and I want you to also earn. As it is not difficult to draw a conclusion, I personally focus on money, but I will try to consider the pros and cons of being famous and rich from my point of view.

Be famous

You are lying on the bed, reading newspapers… I mean the internet, who reads newspapers now. Every now and then you see on ads famous people promoting toothpastes, cars and the best potatoes in the world. You would also like to advertise some carrots or perfumes, but more so that your image is on billboards, TV and the Internet than for money.

Motivation to be famous

Let’s start with the motivation that guides you. Why are you even looking for the answer to the question: would you rather be rich or famous ? For me, this is the first tip that you care about fame. I never seriously asked myself this question, I saw virtually all the flaws in fame, since the creation of content on the Internet has changed a bit. I don’t write all these articles in a drawer, I want people to read them and comment on them. So in a way I strive for fame, I treat it as something that goes hand in hand with money.

We have several types of fame. Let’s exclude for the beginning an option in which you just want to be famous, no matter what they say, it is important that they speak. You don’t plan to shoot, you don’t want to kill penguins or be a famous thief.

You want fame that will make your name successful. Just what kind of success should it be? Maybe you want to be a famous athlete, model, leader or movie star.

In today’s world, it’s definitely easiest to become a celebrity, a person often known for being known. You’re a pretty woman, fire up instagram and after a couple of pictures you have in your account a number of horny guys who you followers . In a very quick way you are able to gather a group of 10-20k recipients, and this begins to guarantee cooperation with brands and money. The question is, how much reach will you be able to achieve in this way and will it be the fame you really wanted?

If we look at the list of the 10 richest people in the world, you will not find people who created their businesses in the hope of achieving fame, they did business, fame was a side effect of their work.

Often, however, this fame is only in a very limited range. I suppose you don’t know half the names on the list above. Even if I showed you a list of 100 or 1000 richest, you will hear about 95% of these people for the first time. It is said that money likes silence, as you can see there is something in this saying.

Fame, of course, goes with money, very large, out of reach for many normal people. Many of us would like to have at least a fraction of Kim Kardashian’s money and there is nothing to hide it. However, really big money is reserved for people bought in business.

Influencer marketing is very popular today and allows artists, models or even moms to present their lives well. Being recognized among several hundred thousand people is also a kind of fame, a question whether it’s enough for you.

Advantages of fame

Let’s get to the specifics that will help you decide what you really expect from life. I will probably not mention everything here, but I will give a general view of the matter.

Fame is a big salary

As I said, it is hard to be famous and poor at the same time. If you do not play at the casino, you are not addicted and you do not operate in the criminal world, being famous you can count on really big money. Luxury cars, beautiful homes and whatever your heart desires will be within your reach.

Banquets and parties

Being a famous person, it is important to attend interesting events. The greater the visibility, the greater the probability that your inbox will be overwhelmed with invitations to ceremonial galas, the best parties, and when you find time charity balls.

An exciting life

One can be sure, life will pass you at full speed. Fame gives you the opportunity to be and experience many events from the first row. Whenever you want, you’ll travel around the world, and you’ll be recognizable wherever you go. People won’t let you get bored, but that’s the point.

Influential acquaintances

The door is open to meeting people you have read about and looked down on with how thoughtful it would be to meet them. Depending on the industry in which you will be realized, you will be in this environment most often. As a model, you’ll meet other models and people associated with the modeling industry. As a singer, you’ll be close to other artists.

Respect

This point is specific. It all depends on your behavior and achievements that will bring you fame. If you gain fame, strive for it over the corpses, it’s rather difficult to count on the respect of ordinary people. When you get to it with your work, you will have not only the respect of strangers, but also yourself, because only you know how much it cost you.

Impact on people

Your opinion will gain in importance. You will be able to convince people to your point with confidence that someone will follow you. Once you are a famous person, I am asking you for one thing, if you have no idea about something, do not speak about it, you can only harm others and yourself.

You probably have an idea for the next advantages of fame, let me know about them in the comment I will gladly refer to them and write to the article.

As I mentioned for me, fame has definitely more disadvantages than advantages, but my task is not to discourage you from one option, so I will try to be concise.

Disadvantages of fame

If the arguments showing that it is worth being famous have made you more convinced of this option, I encourage you to familiarize yourself with the disadvantages, which in my opinion are not lacking.

Fame

Recognition, which is the absolute number one feature of celebrity, is also its biggest downside. For nothing in the world I would not like people walking quietly down the street to approach me and ask for an autograph. Paparazzi hidden in the bushes waiting for them to leave the house is also not my story.

The worst part of all this is that, becoming famous, even when you give up your business, recognition remains. The blog I run is about financial matters, it’s hard to find horny fans in this circle who won’t let you live. For this reason, I have no fear of writing about my experiences or creating other content related to me.

If you decide on “local fame”, you largely avoid the problem of recognition and you will be able to easily have dinner out in the city.

Constant vigilance

Being famous must pay more attention to what you say. Everyone is waiting for your slip-up to inform you about it. Unfortunately, humans are generally an envious species and it can’t be helped.

You know how mistakes of famous people affect the readership of articles. You probably not once clicked on the information that someone famous was driving drunk or leaked his naked photos.

Particular attention must be paid to people who rely on their appearance. The smallest slip clothing, or slightly greater weight will be commented by people mercilessly. Being famous is definitely something for people with strong nerves.

Peaceful life

As the third point in the advantages of fame I gave “an experience-full life”. I know that for many of you this is an asset, I prefer peace more. I have time for the things he wants to have, nobody tells me what to do and I live the way I want, not how others want.

Lack of expectations and pressure

Being famous, you always have to add something, post an instagram , reply to fans or show up somewhere. Everyone expects that your appearance will always be perfect, that you will always be at full capacity, smiling and available on the phone.

The pressure that accompanies this expectation of perfection often does not have a good effect on health. Of course, you don’t see it every day, but you think all celebrities are just like in front of the camera? The only ones bear it better, others like Robin Williams worse.

Family in the background

Famous is very engaging and requires a large number of hours during the day to build continuous interest in yourself. The question of whether fame built on Instagram by showing everyday family life is not a solution to this problem. The truth is that most photos are set up and have nothing to do with real emotions, it’s pure business.

If you think that the type of fame you are striving for allows you to balance the time for work and family, that’s great, may you succeed.

Be Rich

My intention is not to write a book about rich or famous so let me speed it up a bit and they won’t be divorced so much about wealth.

The basic question that I answered myself when starting to earn money was: How much money is a lot for me? For each person this answer will be different, it all depends on what family he grew up in, how he looks at the world and what he needs from life. I always wanted to earn enough to not worry about bills, any repairs or medical costs, while being able to afford my dream home, car and not thinking about how much it costs.

From my point of view, you see 4k $ per month is really decent money, which may not allow you to meet all your needs, but will make it possible to live peacefully (I am talking about the single’s life, of course). Earnings that would fully meet my personal expectations were $ 8k. I decided that this is the barrier I want to reach first. Is that a lot Probably your friend earns more, or you have people who earn much more nearby, but for me it’s a lot of money. Are you a rich person earning about $ 100k a year (after tax) ?

Again, there is a reference to your own feelings. I consider rich people to be able to save $ 1 million in a year. Such money would allow me to fulfill all the whims and this is for me the definition of wealth – a state in which money ceases to be a purpose for life, and becomes the opportunity for the life you want.

Earning such amounts you are in a small percentage of society, calculated in per cent per cent. Of course, this is a long way to billionaires, but most people will never see such amounts in their lives, which alone makes you unique.

However, I separate money for achieving personal goals from the amounts needed to achieve business plans. Personally, I believe that each of us gets a short act to play on the scale of human existence. They are often secondary or tertiary roles, but without them there would be no foreground. Just because you’re not exchanging newspapers, hundreds of thousands of people aren’t following you on Instagram, doesn’t mean that your life is valuable.

For me, money is a way to realize the vision that I have in my mind. I have a few ambitious projects in my head requiring considerable financial outlays and I hope that before the end of my life, at least one of these projects will be implemented, even if it would prove to be a total failure.

Fortunes are often built without spotlights and arise in small offices and studios. Business can be a path to celebrities – just look at Elon Musk or Bill Gates. However, the vast majority of businessmen are known only on the local market in their industry, despite the fact that they generate money unavailable even for movie stars.

Believe me, nowadays there are tens if not hundreds of thousands of companies generating over 10 million profit every year. Such money is reserved only for the highest-paid stars. Of course, a huge part of their profits are advertising contracts, but they are also reserved for some one thousand specific people.

The number of aspiring to be a star, and thus the competition has increased significantly with the development of social media. Today, dozens of people are fighting for contracts, and the fight begins with several thousand followers on Instagram.

I do not intend to discourage you from taking the path of the star, I only realize that with each passing day the competition is greater. Does this mean that business is simpler? Nothing could be more wrong. Running your own business requires many skills and is much heavier. Every day thousands of companies collapse and new ones are created. Some people go bankrupt several times, but keep trying because they value independence, the biggest advantage of their own business.

Summary

So the question was : rich or famous ? My answer is rich , the problem is that this question does not have the correct answer. You have to decide for yourself which life path suits you best.

This blog shows how to make money, how to promote brands, and occasionally writes on topics like this. It is important that you do what you feel that you should do, then it will be good.
