How would your life change if you consistently brought in $10K every month? What pain would it be worth to learn the skills that make it happen?
I remember the first job I had that paid real money. It was liberating. The financial freedom I achieved gave me the confidence to take radical investments later to improve my life.
Maybe you've been there, too. Before breaking that barrier, I had no idea how much mental and emotional energy I was wasting on thinking about money all the time. I thought about money all the time, but not in a good way. I shuffled cash from one account to the next, trying to keep my head above water. I worried about having enough to give even small gifts to the ones I loved.
Two years ago, I started again. I vowed I would do it differently. I wanted to strike out on my own and live by my wits, writing, and entrepreneurial abilities.
It reminds me of the lessons Richard Grove teaches in week 10 of the Autonomy course. He talks about how to build the skills necessary to start making money online. Timeless skills. Skills tuned to current trends.
Imagine how much value you could gain by learning to use the internet to
- facilitate communication
- facilitate economic exchanges
- facilitate learning anything you want
NB Full disclosure: I'm not there, yet.
It's taken longer than I thought. There was more to learn. I went down a bunch of dead ends and wrong trails.
Since joining Autonomy, every day I inch a little closer.
Over the weekend my wife and I sat down to talk about the year and we both agreed that Autonomy unlocked more earning power in one year than we had ever seen before. We're going into the coming year with new skills, opportunities, and relationships. All thanks to the work I put into and the lessons I got out of Autonomy.
I (reasonably) expect that at some point in 2025, I'll break through the barrier. When I do, there are so many places I want to go, things I want to do, and people I want to spend time with.
And how about you, dear reader? Will you step on that path and put in the effort to make the first breakthrough, too?
