Ok Hi Guys and Ladies,
Everday I'm starting to have a clearer picture and to finally start "getting it" little by little... So here it is:
I've discovered there are basically two types of revenue.
1. Blood sweat and tears money = this is where you work x amount of hours for x amount of money or you work x amount of projects for x amount of money. or you sell x amount of products for x amount of money. All of these require that you constantly seek new customers or that you constantly have to keep working the same amount of hours to maintain the cash flow.
2. Autopilot income = these systems may require a lot of work in the beginning phases, but once they are running, there is little or no involvement necessary. Or you don't always have to be there for them to continue to bring an income.
Right now I am running 2 service businesses. One is a janitorial service that I and family are running ourselves and a direct response copywriting and marketing consulting business.
I am also promoting a handful of affiliate products and my own digital products. There are a lot of things I've learned and that I'm doing right, but a lot more that I still have to learn and figure out :smx4:
My plan before coming here was a slowlane path... but now I'm curious as to the fastlane.
I think part of the fastline is diversity. In other words, having more than one leg to stand on. So now I am learning about investing and real estate in order to add that into the overall plan.
The thing is... there are so many options availble... what have you been able to be most successful with?
What are some of the more viable options for someone who has little or no money, and also does not have the best credit in the world?
(And yes I am also reading personal finance books like Finance for Dummies :smx1
I see a lot of hype about being able to make tons of money with no money down, and even if you have the worst credit in the world if only you just buy this kit or that course, but I'm 33 years old and I'm not interested in buying a kit with a bunch of hype. I know more is needed to make the entire connection.
Could you point me on the right path to start educating myself about viable options for my particular situation?
And more importantly, could you tell me about something that I could start today without having to wait months or years ?
Thank you :smxF:
Ps. Also I forgot to mention my goal. I honestly want to create 101 Trillionaires in the future (by 2034). I don't know how I will do this, but this is something I feel at a very deep level. The reason is that deep down inside this is only a symbol of the immense and unimaginable results that will be from this.
If I have a hand in more people having more money then there can be more research funded into stopping or at least retarding the aging gene so that humans would no longer die.
If I have a hand in more people having more money then there can be more dollars spent towards nanotechnology changing the atomic structure of our environment and perhaps the chance to change draughts in Africa.
If I have a hand in bringing more money to more people, then perhaps they have a chance to evolve their values from one of fear and lack to one of love.
If I have a hand in making others wealthy then I truly think a large portion of those people would turn around and use their wealth to improve the world around them , which would leak into all areas of society. they would be able to use the money in ways that I myself could not to indirectly affect my life again for the better. I truly believe this is a good cycle.
Of course I myself, like everyone else wants to be rich, but I seriously get a deep rush from making others a ton of money. It's a game to me and I think that the more people I benefit then automatically I will be taken care of as well. thanks
