How I'd Make $$$ Online to Quit My Job in 2025

- A lot of people don't have a chip on their shoulder when it comes to building a business. For me, I wanted to build the fastest growing blog because I failed in college. - Speaker A encourages people who are interested in building an online business, creating content, and making income streams that are unattached to their time to go for it.

Put your business time into a Google calendar. You have to know that you're going to have to work hard for six or seven months to get this thing off the ground. Working hard on it outside of your full time job and you have to be consistent. How bad do you want it? A lot of people like you have to have somewhat of a chip on your shoulder. If you're kind of complacent, you're complacent at your job. It's probably not going to be very, you're not going to push too hard when it comes to building a business. For me, for whatever reason, I kind of had a chip on my shoulder. I wanted to build the fastest growing blog. It was because I had failed so bad at college. I had failed in, you know, high school. I did good in college, I did horrible. It took me six years to graduate. I was completely lost at that time in my life. Didn't know what I wanted to do, was drinking way too much. I went to a party school. I was lost, miserable. I failed nine classes. I finally, I got kicked out of college. I got back in. I graduated at 24 years old with a degree I didn't know how to use and a bunch of student loans. I worked at a pizza place for three years. I started hammering it out until finally around 25, 26, I removed a lot of my self limiting beliefs that I had for myself. I just didn't think that I could do it. I looked at like delivering pizza and I'm like, maybe this is just what I'll do, you know, whatever. And I almost became that person. But over time I finally got out of that rut. I started learning digital marketing. I got like one client. I padded my resume a little bit. Then I got my first job at a small agency making $42,000 a year. When I was 27, I believe I moved up the corporate ladder a few times. I switched jobs twice. And then by the time I was 30, I was working for a tech company in Austin making 90,000 a year. Still, I wasn't saving any money. I was saving maybe 10% of my salary. I had a rented apartment, a rented car, fun weekends, but no actual wealth building was going on even at that salary. Not what it used to be with inflation. So I learned a lot. And then finally I learned more cutting edge content stuff. How startups are using, doing SEO, doing content marketing, creating pieces of content that make a lot of money. I saw affiliates making $100,000 a month and I was like, why can't I do that so eventually I did. That's what I became. So I learned enough. I took 10 years of knowledge and condensed it all down and I finally figured it out. And I had. I tried tons of different businesses in the past. I tried like drop shipping and an e commerce store and other blogs. And I just had blind spots. I didn't know what I didn't know. And that's the problem a lot of people have. That's probably the main problem actually why people don't take things full time from part time like building a business. They just have blind spots that they're unaware of. Like when I started my dropshipping store back in maybe 2015 or something like that. I don't know exactly when it was. I didn't even know about SEO. I didn't know about link building. I didn't know about content strategies. I was just putting like Facebook posts up about products and writing a few blog posts that weren't optimized. I didn't know what I was doing. So it didn't work. I didn't see anything working for like a month or two. And I quit. I spent a lot of time on the sideline building the logo. The website looked great, tinkering with all the pixels on everything, creating an llc, doing all of that. And I wasted so much time that I didn't actually just dive into the actual marketing part. And that's the truth about any online business. If you don't have, if you have blind spots or you're missing little details, it's like putting together a puzzle, except the puzzle pieces are scattered all over the house. That's what marketing is. That's what starting an online business is. Every single piece of the puzzle is easy. The concepts are really easy to understand. Like SEO is easy. Creating a YouTube video is easy. A affiliate marketing is really easy. They're all easy, but they're all over the house. You have to find that knowledge. You have to know where it is and you have to click it together. And oftentimes it's really freaking hard to click it together if you can't find. Even out of a thousand piece puzzle, you're missing two pieces. It's somewhere under the couch. You're not going to find it. So that's the problem. I think a lot of people have. I learned Digital Marketing in 2008. I heard of the four hour workweek. I followed a blog called like Nerd Fitness. I'm like, oh, this blog is doing really good. He's crushing it. He's got an email list. But it still took me 11 years of trying and failing and learning before I even started one successful thing. So just know that everyone has a different timeline. If you do want to build a business for yourself, great. You're going to learn a lot. You're going to try and fail a lot. That's totally okay. You're just pushing something forward. You know, don't get discouraged by that. Everyone is on a different timeline of life expectancy. You could start a blog at 50, you can start a YouTube channel at 60. It really doesn't matter again. And if you don't want to, that's fine too. A lot of people have videos that say if you're not successful, you're not making a million dollars a year with your own business, you have no time freedom, then you're not living life. And that's not the case either. A lot of those people rob you from living in the current moment because you think that if only, if only I was making more money, if only my website or my YouTube channel or my business was working, then I'd be happy. Then you're robbing yourself of the current moment. I know plenty of people that are perfectly happy working a 9 to 5 job. They keep their work at work, they keep their home life at home, they have a great family life and that's it. You should not feel bad about anything like that either. So I'm just saying, if you are interested about building an online business, about creating content, making income streams that are unattached to your time, then I say go for it. Just know that you're going to have to have some new habits. You're going to have to spend some time on it. There's no no such thing as get rich quick schemes.
