How to start making money when you’re broke…

So in the past couple weeks I’ve seen soo much complaining from people. “I hate my damn job!”, “I can’t make any real money” or even “I wish somebody would give me money”. It’s like people now a days are scared to put in some work and everybody wants the easy way to acheieve wealth, but there’s a saying. “Everybody wants to go to heaven, but no one wants to die.” If you want to achieve financial freedom, you have to put in work for a period of time in order to set yourself ahead. So today, this is going to be more of an advice blog of how you can start building your money up even if you’re broke. Now if you’re at rock bottom in terms of finances there is good news for you… You can only go up from this point.

 

Step 1: Get a job

When you have no money, but want to start a business the smart thing to do is to get you a source of active income to take care of your bills and needs first. Now some people will see this and be like “Well I can’t get a job because–” save the excuses. I don’t care if you even gotta flip burgers at Mcdonalds, get yourself a job. Doesn’t matter the circumstances. Keep in mind, someone in your same exact situation has lived and conqured the obsticals you’re currently going through right now.

Stack up some money for a couple of months, me personally I say around 3-6 months to give you a decent amount. During that time you should be studying ways to invest in a secondary income to suppliment with your current income. Now during this phase you’re going to make a lot of sacrifices in this time. You’re going to have to push yourself because, this will be one of the periods that will test you the hardest. Now remember, a job is only temporary, you were not ment to stay there forever. Unfortantely a lot of people get comfortable in this step and never end up leveling up. Don’t be that person.

 

Step 2: Invest in a side/passive income

Now this is your second phase for leveling up when coming out of rock bottom financially. At this point you’ve stacked up some cash and you’ve done research on different passive income opportunities such as affiliate marketing, e-com, social media marketing, etc… If you don’t know what either of these things are I’ll give you a mini overall example of what each one is.

So affiliate marketing is pretty much you advertise an already established brand, product or service. You connect the brand/service/product and the consumer together and if the consumer buys said product/service/etc… Then you get a commission. With E-com you’re creating a store, customers buy products and you’ll utilize their money to buy the product from it’s supplier and you keep the profits. So say if I charge a phone case for $29.99 but it only cost $2 to make, well that means I keep $27.99 profit per case sold. Social media marketing is pretty much running ads and managing social media accounts for businesses and companies. For more info click these other blog post I made discussing each topic.

-E-commerce

 

Now there’s actually thousands more ways to make more money online, but today we’re going to focus on the heavy hitters. Now of course you’re going to have to put in some extra time to do these, but each of these things I listed here have the power to take you out the dreaded 9-5 you always complain about and actually but you in financial freedom. Invest an hour a day in making sure you’re learning how to market as well, because if you can master marketing, you’ll never be broke, period.

 

Final step/conclusion: Stay focused

This is very crucial because, during your journey you’re going to be hit with many distraction and setbacks and it can definitely throw off your focus and make you want to give up. Hold yourself responsible and negate all excuses. Make the best of what you have, start small and grow from there. Look at all the successful people you seen around you, ones that made it or still going. We all gotta start from somewhere so don’t be ashamed when you see someone else living a little bit better than you. Remember competition is the thef of joy, so stay in your lane and remain focus.

Top 5 rules of life everybody should follow…

In this one life that we are given we’ll have to go through many trials and tribulations. With that being said, with that being said you have to have some order in your life in order to get through while you’re alive. They’re many rules to life whether they’re common sense things or stuff you’ll have to be taught, but either way it goes, we have rules to keep order and stability. So here are the top 5 rules everyone should follow while going through their journey in life. Let’s begin.

 

1. Appreciate the things you have

In today’s society we always worry about the wrong things or we worry about the things we don’t have at the moment. When I was growing up, one thing my mom would always say was, “Be thankful that you have a roof over your head, clothes on your back and food on the table.” As a kid it wouldn’t register to me until I got older. You see there’s a lot of contributing factors that goes into this and why we think like this.

For example, social media. We have this “Keep up with the Jones’s” mentality where anything we do we try to one up the next person. Someone post a picture of their brand new supercar and you feel like you should be on their level and now you’re disappointed, but fail to realize… At least you got a F*cking car! Some of y’all sad like shit because you not living in a big mansion or got hella designer clothes when you don’t even realize you’re considered rich to someone who doesn’t even have a place to call home. They don’t have a car or food to eat. Be grateful for what you have now. God has ways of humbling people who aren’t appreciative of what they have. Ironically people don’t know how good they’ve had something until it’s gone.

 

2. Become a happy individual for yourself

You know why 97% of the world struggles with this? Because, they think other people or material things will make them happy instead of themselves. Let me tell y’all something real quick. It is YOUR responsibility to create happiness, peace, self courage for yourself. The reason why most marriages fail is because one person out the group whether it was the husband or wife. Got with either or because, they wanted to be happy. However, that person doesn’t realize that when the test comes and the marriage ain’t all beaches and bananas, now that happiness is gone, but because you don’t want to feel alone, you stay in that marriage and now what was once a marriage is now a damage.

You see people, you have to learn how to be happy when no one is around you, when you’re alone & nobody is hitting your line up, when it’s just you & God. I can speak from experience, it’s not always easy, but building your inner peace and happiness will set you up for better things in life. Remember, elevation requires separation. So sometimes you’ll have to get away from people to level your self up in terms of your peace and happiness. Happy people attract happier people. Negative people attract even more negative people. Which ever one you are at the moment remember this, It’s not your mom, dad, sister, brother, friends, or even your own spouse responsibility to make you happy. You have to accomplish that on your own.

 

3. Treat others the way you want to be treated

The golden rule. This is a rule that everybody knows about, but only a few actually grasps the concept of this. Let me ask you something. Would you want someone coming in your face yelling, cussing, disrespecting the hell out of you? I would assume not. Well if you don’t want that happening to you, don’t give out that type of energy. Treat people with respect and kindness upfront and if they’re a like minded individual they’ll give that same respect in return. Sometimes that won’t be that case. You’ll give out positive and get back negative, but when that happens just know 90% of the time it isn’t you, but the person could be going through something so try to keep that in mind.

Of course other times, people can be just straight assholes for no reason what so ever and to those people I say be a little more kind, but not too much. Know your limit and set a line for yourself. Don’t be afraid to check somebody if you absolutely need to. Also, just pray for them. If you can’t do nothing else for that person, just pray for them. As I stated in the previous rule, positive attracts positive and negative attracts negative. So be mindful of the type of energy you put out especially if it’s just a day were a bad thing happened but it doesn’t play out as having a bad day.

 

4. Have a friend

In this world, you can live without your parents, you can live without your pets, you can live without your spouse, but you can’t live in this world without a friend, period. In this generation, we are being taught that we don’t need friends we need ends(money). “F*ck friends, I don’t trust a soul, but I trust this bag though!” Well, what good is it to have all that money if you can’t experience it without people that are close to you?

Let me tell you something, some people are literally soo poor all they have is just money. In life you need the 4 key categories:

• Wealth
• Health
• Love
• Spirit

If you have a balance of all 4 of these then you’re golden. However, most people are just optimizing for wealth, that’s why we have fat, soulless, lonely billionaires in this world. An imbalance of any of these things can be terrible. Optimize to meet good people while you’re on your journey of success because you will meet people who will want the best for you and that are happy that you exist.

 

5. Stand for something

Stand for something or fall for anything. This rule is the rule that’ll test people mentally. Let me put you on game real quick, if you know the truth that God has exposed to you, what ever that truth may be, stand by it and don’t let no one make you change your ground. In this world, the Devil is working hard because he knows his times is about to be up and he’s trying to take as many people down below with him, frankly he’s doing a good job, because this world has been deceived on A LOT of things. If you don’t stand for what you believe in you’ll allow anybody to say anything and you’ll fall for their bs and that’ll effect you in the long run when it’s all said and done. If you’re not willing to die over what you believe in, I suggest you follow the crowd, because you won’t last long when the world comes against you.

 

 

How can I quit my job and become a boss?

Well if you want the short answer, walk in the bosses’ office and demand they make you a boss… If he/she says no, passively but aggresively quit your job in a cinematic rant and walk out. Literally… That’s it. Thanks for reading! Just kidding. Don’t go nowhere as I actually give you some ways that you can quit your job and become the boss you’ve always wanted to become. Imagine waking up knowing you no longer have to rush to get ready to get in rush hour traffic, just to hear your boss bitch about you being 2 micro-seconds late. You’re making money while you’re sleep, eating, on a date, traveling, whatever your heart desires. That’s the true American dream in my opinion, having true freedom with a coorperation.

Now that doesn’t mean that everyone is built to do this, simply because this takes a certain mindset, a certain amount of discipline, sacrifice(not blood… well maybe. Depending how far you’re trying to go… Again, just kidding.), time management, and many other factors. Most people woulf actually just prefer to work for someone as long as the job pays good and they have good benefits, they’ll be straight. But, not you. If you’re reading this right now is because you’re at a job that either:

• A, you’re not making enough money
• B, the people at your job are toxic
• C, your boss is a straight asshole
• D, you just want your time back to pursue your dreams

Now truth be told you won’t get the time you’ve spent working for the man, but you can invest that time into what I’m about to talk to you about right now. So I recommend starting a business. Period. Starting a business can give you the leverage to build some passive/residual income. Now I won’t go into deep details on why you should start one, but if you want to read more info about it go ahead and check out my blog post about “10 reasons why you should start a business“.

How can I leave my 9 to 5 and become a boss? First off, do reasearch on a business model that you’d like to do that’ll take you out of that situation. Whether it’s affiliate marketing, E-com, social media marketing, forex trading, etc… Whatever the case may be for you. Figure that out first that way you’ll know what’ll you’ll be focusing your time, energy and money on. –Wait we gotta spend money on this? Yes, you do. That’s why I said this was going to be sacrifice in building your financial freedom & that’s why most people won’t do this. Now after you’ve Identified what it is you want to start building your income stream in, secondly you’re going to want to invest a great amount of time into creating your business.

And before you ask, yes, a great amount of time. Even if you’re already working a full 40 hour week, you need to be investing at least 2-6 hours inside of your business a day(side note, make sure you tailor your business around things your gift/passion so it doesn’t feel like work and the time will be going by fast). If you’re just soo damn busy that you can’t even take at least 30 minutes to invest in your future than you need to go ahead and re-evaluate your life expeditiously. Also, a bit of life advice before I continue. If your job right now is paying your bills & keeping food on your table… DO NOT QUIT… yet. Most of these damn entreprenuers tell you, “Quit your job, take that huge risk, walk out blindly and just start walking”. Now i’m going to sit here and say that doesn’t work but, very seldomly does that actaully happen & you have to really be willing to risk it all.

There’s a difference between taking calculated risk and jumping off the twin towers hoping to land on a pillow. Hold on to the job and build your side income up until the side income becomes the main income and then ditch the 9 to 5. Now that requires a special of discipline because most people are tired like shit when they get off work, but if you do what most people wouldn’t do right now, you’ll live a life like most people can’t live. So it’s worth it at the end of the road. Now for those who are still reading at this point I’ll go into some business models you can start now from easy to hardest. Thank me later… Or now. Doesn’t matter.

 

Affiliate marketing: Easy

Now for those who don’t know what that is, check out my blog post “Affiliate marketing for dummies…” and it’ll go over everything you need to know about the affiliate marketing world. I recommend this as a start if you’re just new into making an online business. I’ve been using this system called legendary marketer  by Dave Sharpe and it’s by far the EASIST way to make money online. Now you have others such as Awol and Clickbanks but legendary marketer literally gives you the ad copy, emails, landing page, and has a team of highly trained coaches to guide you on your path. It’s literally a copy and paste business and works oh so devine! Start NowStart Now!

Amazon FBA: Medium

First off, can we just thank Jeff Bezos for creating one of the greatest gifts in the world, Amazon? Not only can you buy products off there you can also become a seller! Amazon FBA allows you to create a seller account in any country you want(USA, Canada, UK are highly recommended) and find hot products to sell on their platform. They’re 300million active users on amazon a day so traffic and marketing is already there, your job is to find that winning product. I recommend doing research before starting, but in a nut shell you just contact a supplier(alibaba is recommened). Have them ship the product to an Amazon fulfillment center and they will send the products to the customers while you take in profits. Only downside is that you need some bread upfront(about $2,000-$3,000) already on you to get started. However if you already have it, go for it!

Shopify: Hard(Depends on your experience with marketing):

Now shopify is a great way to start an Ecom store and longterm build your brand. Some of the biggest celebs & brands(Kylie Cosmetics, Fashion Nova, etc) are all on shopify and killing it as we speak. Shopify can be used for many different things such as:

• Dropshipping
• Print on Demand(shirts)
• Branding

The list goes on. The only thing with shopify is that you’re incharge of marketing(facebook ads and instagram influencers). Finding the winning products which involves a lot of testing. Contacting reliable suppliers and making sure they’re not screwing you over. I can go all day on this, but shopify as proven to be great when it comes to handling orders, payouts, customer service, the whole 9 yards. You can literally make a 6 figure business within 1-3 months(if you’re consistent). Takes a little more work but the rewards are uncanny! If you need a logo for any of your businesses I’ll make you 2 of em in order to give your brand that unique look. Click here for more info.

 

5 things you should do when you first wake up in the morning…

What’s up y’all! Today I’m going to go in a different direction today with this blog post, this will be a routine ritual you can start every morning that way you will have not only better days, but you’ll be a lot sharper for anything that happens to you. You’ll wake up in a better attitude, you’ll actually look forward to the next day, I could get more into it but I’d rather just give you some tips that I’ve been doing and has changed my whole perspective on my life and my reality. If you’re already doing some of this just know you’re already ahead of the map and you can either skip this blog or read it just to keep a refresher in your head.

1.Turn off your tv/Don’t watch tv…

When you wake up what’s the first thing most people do? Find that remote and turn on the television. Most people turn on the news when they wake up and let me tell you that there’s nothing postive about hearing someone getting murdered in your local neighborhood or that the weather is going to be bad. In fact, according to Dr.Branding Park, when you first wake up your brain waves operate on 10.5 waves per minute. The first 20 mintues of what your subconsious mind hears will be very impressionable to the brain.

So with that being said you need to be super careful what you allow yourself to hear and watch when you first wake up as it will massively effect how the rest of your day will play out. The benefit of having tv turned off(turning off) when you first wake up you’ll be able to collect your thoughts and you won’t have any negativity enter brain at its most vulnerable state. Remember, when you’ve developed your mind early in the morning for an hour to two hours you’ll be menatlly be prepared to take in anything that could alter your state of mind when you’ve just woke up.

 

2.Drink a glass of water…

This might sound a tad bit crazy, but believe it or not there’s actaully a great benefit when doing this when you’ve first wake up in the morning. When you drink one glass of cold water the moment you wake up you’ll actaully be improving your metabolism as if your unlocking your bodly functions to take in any food or drink you will consume that day. On top of that it also helps giving you that slight boost in energy when you’re feeling a little sluggish in the morning. Do this for 30 days and you’ll see exactly what I’m talking about, it’s a minor tweak in your morning routine but overtime you’ll see that massive benefit.

 

3.Listen to motivational podcast/motivational videos…

This is a KEY important thing to do when you first wake up so pay attention. You’ve already turned off your tv and drunk your glass of water, but now you’re sitting in silence so now you need some impowering teaches to replace all that bullshit you’re use to listening to in your mornings. Me personally when I want to listen to some great people I listen to Les Brown, Tony Robbins, Jim Rhon, Steve Harvey, Bishop T.d jakes, Tai Lopez, and that’s just a few. I have a long list of people I could name to be honest. How I even starte this one of my friend’s recommend I do this and honestly my own paradigm has changed.

You gotta understand people, law of attraction is very VERY real. When you first wake up you should be manifesting in where you want to be in life and the goals you want/will be achieveing. Remember your brain is very impressionable when the first 20 minutes of the day so why not send empowing signals to it instead of negative signals. The more you do this, you’ll start waking up with more energy and more ability to attack the day with happiness and determination. You’ll start looking at people who wake up moody or depressed a lot different. With that super boost in the morning you’ll be getting through your days like a breeze. I dare you to do this for two weeks and then come back to this blog and tell me how you’re feeling a lot better about life.

 

4.Avoid looking at your phone…

I’m going to say this loud so the people can hear me in the back… STAY THE F*CK OFF OF SOCIAL MEDIA WHEN YOU FIRST WAKE UP! Don’t answer no calls, don’t respond to no text for the first hour to two hours after you’ve just woken up. The reason why this is so crucial is because(and especially in this day n age)people post the most depressing, most mind numbing, irrelevant things ever. They’ll be times where I would wake up and go on Instagram or Facebook and the first thing I would see is someone shares a post that shows someone got murdered or someone getting beat up, someone complaining why their relationship sucks or why they can’t find a girlfriend/boyfrined and many much more.

When I see that when I wake up, it gets me moody and I tend to snap at people for no reason and that’s not fair to them nor myself cause have the time I don’t even be mad, I just see some dumb shit at the wrong time of the morning. Ever since I’ve made that slight change and left my phone alone and turned on motivational videos my whole persona for the morning changed, in fact I’m a lot more eagered to start the day. I said all of that to say this. If you’re waking up in a bad mood or a snappy mood, it’s not because you hate mornings, it’s the things you allow yourself to be exposed to in those mornings that will greatly affect your day. Think I’m lying? Next time you wake up moody ask yourself “what did I do the first 20 minutes prior to waking up?” You’ll see what I mean.

 

5.Plan out your day…

A man without orginazation is a lost man, a man without a vision is a dead man. Take ten to thirty minutes a day when you first wake up to plan out your day. Write down any goals you want to set that day and how you’re going to achieve them in that order. Have a sense of direction of your days and it’ll play out a lot better. Even if it’s just to relax that day and do nothing, what are you going to do? What shows are you going to watch? What are you going to be eating? What ever it is just make sure you have a plan. Now I know things won’t go exactly the way you plan it all the time, but the key point is to have a sense of direction. A person without with a sense of direction will end up of the land of the lost, remember that…

 

In conclusion…

I dare anybody reading this to actually put these tips to use for 30 days. 30 days isn’t hard to commit to and on top of that it will greatly benefit you in the long run. While you’re in the proccess I want you to periodically reflect on how these small change have effected you for the better than I want you to come back and tell me your results. Be blessed y’all!

4 Reasons why you should set goals for yourself….

You know, they’re aren’t too many differences between the rich and the poor. In fact the differences are actually fairly small to what you might think. I have a question for you. How many of us have dreams? I’m pretty sure everybody, but how many of y’all have big dreams? Huge dreams? Dreams you wish you wouldn’t want to be woke up from. Well this key habit can take your dreams into reality.

Write down your goals. When you write down your goals you turn those dreams into achievements. Today I’m going to give you for main reasons why you should write down your goals and how that will set you up for the future. If you already do this(which most likely you already do this if you’ve been keeping up with the blog)than this wil be a refresher for you to keep doing it. As to my people that don’t do this I hope this motivates you to take that extra step that will make you take more steps into your future.

1. You have something to look forward to

A lot of people are hella unsure on what they want to do for their future when in reality you have boat loads of ideas and visions in your head already, the only thing is that you don’t write down your goals. On top of that people will actually get depressed and sad that they think they have no where in life to go to and thats completely false.

Let me tell y’all something people. If you write down your ideas/goals the second it hits your mind, you already are doing something that the 99% aren’t which puts you ahead of life already. You subconsciously start training your brain to read these goals and like I always say your mental connects to your physical. Your brain will start thinking of ways to bring your goal to life and the more you keep doing this you will by habit build up soo many goals you will keep your self busy.

 

2. You’ll start holding yourself accountable

Another benefit when setting goals for yourself is that you start taking responsibility and hold yourself accountable for your actions. If you don’t hit your goals you will start finding the reasons why you haven’t hit them and act accordingly. However, you smash that goal you set for yourself for the day/month/year you feel excited and more motivated to do more and more. The more you do the more you will accomplish.

You can’t expect to move in life if you’re not holding yourself accountable especially when it comes to setting your goals for yourself. I understand, we won’t hit all of our goals that we say we set for ourselves, same time the fact you’re taking action at all is a major accomplishment because like I said most people don’t even take action and thats what causes people to fail in life.

Now don’t be that one person that sets a goal and gets motivated for like two seconds and then don’t even do shit after a while. Because, that will actually put you back and might actually might make you even more sad at the end of it because you keep pushing your dream life further and further. You’d be surprised how many people really do this and then get mad when they read something like this and be like, “Man this bullshit don’t work!” Yeah it don’t work because, you half-ass your execution. Hold yourself accountable and stay consistant and you will achieve your goals.

 

3. Your life will be a lot more organized

One thing rich people do that for the most part poor people don’t do is they take time out their(around 10-30 minutes)to actually plan out their day. If you’re the type of person to just wing it and just go about your day with no type of direction than that’s probably the reason why you feel misguided or you don’t know what you want to do in your life. You gotta understand that the more you create small daily goals for yourself nothing too major but, you will develope that organzation which will give you a sense of accomplishment that will keep you going forward.

Y’all might thinking I’m just talking and you might not understand what I’m talking about but, I challenge you to do this for a week. Write down a goal you know you can accomplish for that day and actually execute it and watch how organized you’ll be at the end of the week. I did this for two weeks and not only did I create more consistancy for myself, but I broke procastination which was one of my biggest problems I use to have. If you have this problem right now you definietly need to try this challenge trust me you’ll thank me later.

 

4. You’ll be in a better position in the long run

What you think about, what you manifest about, what ever you speak over yourself and definitely work towards will come to pass. Setting goals for yourself is like creating a blueprint for your future self and not only will you be building yourself but you will also change your reality. Remember in the beginning when I asked who has big dreams? Well most people would much rather live in their dreams and not even attempt to make their reality change for the better.

The more goals you set for yourself and achieve you’ll put yourself in a better position in the long run simply because you’ll be working towards success instead of working to a dead end. You don’t have to settle for what you think life is supposed to be like. When you take responsibility for your life, write down your goals and stay consistant I don’t care how big or small your goals are you will achieve your success.

Remember your brain actually doesn’t know big or small goals. Your brain responds to progress, no matter how fast as long as you are progressing you will continue to work on your life that which will bring you greatness.
