It’s all about the tendies
Stop pretending it’s not about money. It always is.
Whether you want to admit it or not, most of what we do in life is inspired by money in one way or another. If e don’t have enough of it, we think about how much we need it. But when we have an abundance of cash, it is not really about counting stacks of bills. It’s more about creating leverage.
Of course, if you’re always short on cash you won’t get too the point of using it as leverage which is where most of Americans are at. It’s dang hard to create any sort of leverage when you’re just trying to make ends meet.
I’m no financial whiz, certainly no Dave Ramsey, but I’m here with my own take on this: you don’t need to learn to be miserly. That’s the super slow route.
You need to learn how to rake in a ton of money and fast. I’m here to tell you that there is nothing that brings in more money faster than writing.
There’s always a huge demand for quality writing, people will pay for almost any conceivable topic, and when you crack the code the pay is insane.
Usually I have an anecdote and pull it all together. Not today. If you need to create some financial leverage, forget that bull about cutting out Netflix and Dutch Bros coffee. Yes yup should do those because they’re just dumb expenses, but cutting those won’t create life changing money.
You need to take your gross pay from $4,000 to $16,000. That’s how you win. And writing is your vehicle.
I’ll be back tomorrow with my first steps of the game plan so don’t skip it.
