How Making A $100 Per Day Through Your One-Person Business Can Change Your Life.
My life changed the day I made $1 online.
You don’t need a million dollars to change your life.
Hell, you don’t even need $100,000 or even $10,000. Ever since writing online and selling digital products, making an extra $100+ per day has been game-changing.
The best part?
Making an extra $100 a day is within reach for everyone.
You can repackage a skill or experience you learned in your 9–5 job and sell it to someone else. You’re already selling something to one customer: your employer.
Here’s how I did it (steal what works).
Don’t even try to make a million dollars.
My life changed the day I made $1 online.
It was April 2020, I had just gone through a breakup and wanted to challenge myself. I started taking writing on Medium seriously and signed up for the partner program. I made a total of $1.42 LOL.
This isn’t life-changing money. It wasn’t even useful money.
But I wasn’t optimizing for money. Making $1.42 through my writing did more for me than a 4-year business degree. Why? Because I became obsessed.
I thought to myself: if I could make $1, how can I make $100?
And if I could make $100, what’s stopping me from making $1,000 or even $10,000? What about $100,000? My mind started to race. I finally understood the opportunity in front of me.
So lower your expectations.
Don’t even try to make a million dollars. It’s way too overwhelming. Thinking too big stops you from starting. Make your goal so small it seems too easy. Start with $1.
Make your first $1 online. Watch your brain rewire.
You don’t need to quit your 9–5 job to start making money online
I built a one-person business while I had a 9–5 job.
While most of my colleagues binge-watched Netflix series, I wrote in the morning before work. I read books and YouTube videos in the evening after work.
I reinvested any spare time and energy into money-making skills.
I got efficient with my job, I would often work half days and use the rest of my time on my own business. I still brought in the most amount of work and clients were happy.
So win-win-win for everyone.
My point? Don’t quit your job. Leverage it. Use the financial stability it provides to experiment and test your one-person business idea.
The only trade-off? You might have to work hard (surprise, surprise).
If you’re not willing to work in the early morning, afternoons, or weekends, I can’t help you.
Hard work is the prerequisite to making this all work.
There are only two barriers to making money online…
- Your skillset.
- Your beliefs.
That’s it. The breakdown is:
80% beliefs. 20% skillset.
Your mindset will be your biggest barrier to success. Does talent matter? Of course. But most people give up long before talent ever starts to become a factor.
Your attitude toward life determines your altitude.
I know many talented, smart, and hardworking people who are trapped by their limiting beliefs.
Invest in therapy before investing in online courses.
You become fearless with multiple sources of income
I never fear losing income.
Sure, it would suck big time.
But It wouldn’t be existential. Only a minor inconvenience while I look to replace that income. It’s a great position to be in.
I currently have 4 diverse sources of income:
- 9–5 job + equity (multiple six-figures + dividends)
- One-person business ($4.5k per month)
- Writing income ($1.5 — $2k per month)
- Digital Products ($50-$100 per month)
- My investments (rental, stocks, etc)
None of these sources of income are correlated. So if one goes down, it’s unlikely to impact the others. I’ve also got a year’s worth of expenses in cash stored in the bank.
I feel financially stable. Freedom comes next.
I’ve had colleagues and friends who would struggle if they didn’t get paid on time. They live so close to paying cheque to pay cheque, that any delay would cause a sleepless night.
The average Australian doesn’t have enough savings for a $1,000 emergency.
A 2019 survey by Budget Direct Insurance found that:
45 percent of participants couldn’t afford to cover a $1000 emergency.
Excuse my French, but that’s f*cked.
This is also before rising interest rates, inflation, and the rental crisis over the last few years. I don’t even want to think how bad things have gotten since then.
Build multiple sources of income, or die trying.
Freedom is closer than you think.
Every action you take is building more or less freedom in your life.
It’s that extreme. Whenever I spend I ask myself:
Will this build more or less freedom in my life?
Spend money to optimize for freedom, not accumulating liabilities.
