What I did today
I’m tired, but I also don’t feel like I’m doing enough to get stuff done. I need to write more on Medium, I need to write more ebooks, and I need to work more on my niche site!
All of these are high priority projects that are falling by the wayside.
And I can’t really do that. I woke up this morning, knowing that I have a successful day ahead of me (in terms of income.
But, I’m also exhausted because my life isn’t my own right now. I’m running a rat-race treadmill that isn’t long-term profitable under this current iteration.
So, I need to find a way to get off that treadmill.
The only way I can see to do that is to “double down” on work on “passive” income sources like websites, real estate, content, and more.
If that ends up being the case, it will allow me to then sav every penny I possibly can to invest in those passive sources.
I’m working for a world where I own my time, not a company. That world allows my loved ones and I to spend time with each other instead of in corporate.
If that’s not worth waking up at 4am every day for, then I don’t know what is!

My plan for tomorrow
Tomorrow should be about adding more content and work together. I have a fair amount of work that needs to get done, but I can’t really lose sight of the passive income channels.
After all, Google Analytics says I had 1 organic visitor yesterday on the site. We need to pump those numbers up by 10X!!!
So, I’m going to try to write a post for it today!
