Yes, that's why I said "I may be crazy"  Can't win the lotto if you don't buy a ticket though! I've seen quite a few people both in real life and on the web with a much smaller skillset (not saying I'm smarter than them at all, just saying I've practiced these things for 7 years straight now) blow my income out of the water with raw effort, perseverance, and time. I may be gambling, but I visualize the equation of my abilities plus 1-2 years of constant work plus continual effort will equal me finishing the last 61% of my goal and reaching $274 a day, the magical $100k income. After that, who knows? If you can figure out how to make $100k, then you can figure out how to make $200k.

I did do it on my own time for a while, which is how I've made it up to $80 a day without having to really bust my hump just yet, but after spending a full 40+ hours a week at someone else's job it's not always easy to come home and continue to crank out the work for another 8 hours. I don't mind working long days, but I was just totally burnt out at my other job, which was making me depressed and causing me to lose desire to be a constantly producing machine. Between this and the time spent running a household, family, friends, etc, the amount of time I usually wound up working on my own things was too small. Being away from my former work environment and working on my own things has been quite invigorating so far I'd like to add.
I also started thinking in terms of how that in the long-run, time devoted to my own projects has a much greater potential return on investment. I probably could have cut down to part time at my other job, but that would have been taking away half of a workweek that could have been devoted to building something that will feed me much longer than a partime paycheck will. As far as I'm concerned it's only a matter of time and effort. Tony Robbins speaks of the magical formula and explains it in this way: If you're a parent, how long do you give your baby to learn walking before giving up? Of course, you'd make your baby keep trying until he/she walks. If you keep trying and applying what you learn as you progress, success is bound to ensue sooner or later |
