It's currently 12:22 AM in the morning right now. The purpose of this post is three-fold:
(1) to express my late night thoughts
(2) to say thank you to whoever you are that cares
(3) to give you an inside look on what's going on with me right now
Thank You, Whoever You Are
This website was created on May 11, 2017 from the hours of 12-5am. This post was made on May 16, 2017, at 12:26am. Point being, at the time this post was made, the website had been up for less than 5 days.
So, if you are someone reading this right now (now meaning 5/16/17) thank you so much. You are so awesome. I don't know who you are, but it is the people like you (imaginary or real) that keeps me motivated and inspired to be who I am and continue creating what I create.
And if you are reading this right now, at some future date (not 5/16/17), I am so thankful for you too. The fact that you went through all the posts and found an early one like this let's me know that you care a lot too (at least that's what I imagine).
So, yea. Thank you. For real.
Inside Look On What's Going On With Me Right Now
As of 5/16/17, I am committed to never working a day in my life. Meaning, I am committed to finding a way to make money without having to go into a formal 9-5 job on a contractual basis.
Luckily, my living expenses only consist of my food, gas, phone bill, and gym membership. I live rent and utility bill free thanks to my parents. In order to make ends meet, I only need, techincally around $800 a month, or $200/week. I can cut expenses down even more if I wanted to.
Right now, I am focused on creating content on my website and YouTube as a long-term strategy to make passive income. Additionally, I am studying to trade forex as a way to make active and passive income.
Ways I currently make income are through Door Dash deliveries, selling stuff, dog sitting, and various quick-cash type solutions. So, technically I still work, but not in a typical sense where I'm looking to build a career in one industry and get promoted for higher wages.
My goal, really, is to make enough passive income to cover my rent and living expenses in full. That's about $2000. I know it's possible, and I know it's going to happen. It's just going to take some time. I'm projecting at least 1 year before I can make even $200 of passive income per month. One step at a time.
If you're reading this right now, and you're not aware of what making passive income is, or have not started building an asset that creates passive income - start now.
You may be concerned that you don't have enough time, or that it's not possible, but trust me it's possible.
We're either going to make passive income, or we're not. If we decide not to make passive income, then our lives are always going to be subject to trading time for money directly. Meaning, our lives (our time) will be directly proportional to the job we must work to make money.
Repeat after me: Fuck. That.
Getting a 9-5 job is the old way of making things happen.
The new way of making things happen is the internet. Find a way to leverage the internet. Figure it out. YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Ebay, Amazon, Craigslist, etc. Doesn't matter. Find a way to leverage the internet.
