What Does It Really Mean to Be Rich? – Response to Chapter 2

What does it actually mean to be rich?

In this response to Chapter 2 of The Certain Way, I explore the difference between having money and being rich. Most of us were raised on confusing ideas, that being rich is selfish, or flashy, or something that happens only to others.

But being rich, as I now understand it, means having enough freedom, stability, and purpose to live the life you’re here for – without panic, shame, or compromise.

I also reflect on:

My own changing view of wealth
How the self-help world distorted Wallace Wattles’ ideas
The danger of manifesting without action
And the real power of following a simple, repeatable formula

The formula isn’t magical, but it is transformational.

You have to do the work. But once you do, things begin to move.

Isn’t this just another self-help hustle?

That’s a fair question.

I’ve wrestled with it myself, especially since The Certain Way is based on The Science of Getting Rich, by Wallace Wattles. It sounds a bit like I’ve joined the ranks of content gurus selling success in exchange for clicks.

Here’s the truth: Yes, I want to make money from my book, website and YouTube videos. Not millions. Not a funnel. Enough to prove the method works.

But here’s the paradox: If I make money by teaching this method, doesn’t that feel like circular logic? Like I’m profiting from the message, not applying it?

Maybe, but I’d argue this is the work. Because I’m not selling hype, I’m testing a framework in public, to see whether clear, creative thought can still shape real results in the middle of the AI collapse.

I’m not offering shortcuts. I’m offering structure. I’m not pretending to be above the system. I’m just trying to navigate it with integrity and leave a clear path for anyone else who wants to do the same.

So no, this isn’t a hustle.

It’s fieldwork.
