Lately, I’ve been feeling frustrated. I am a woman with skills. I write professionally. I build websites.
I enjoy doing both so a logical career choice would be to build websites and blogs for myself while making a nice salary – one where I can support myself by earning residual income.
Instead? I am living with my parents post divorce. I take on odd jobs – helping out in an office, mystery shopping, doing product demos – and even though these jobs are fun and doable and bring in some much needed cash, there’s a part of me that feels discontent.
There are two problems with these odd jobs. The first is that they don’t spay enough for me to live on. The second is that the whole point to being self employed is that I work entirely for myself. That means no employer. Each moment I have booked to do work for others takes me away from pursuing my goals.
My dream is to make 100% of my salary through earning residual income. That means no writing clients. No mystery shops. No product demonstrations. I won’t need to work in the office. Being my own boss 100% of the time is more than just a dream. It’s a goal and one that I am taking seriously through daily action steps.
One of the best things I have ever done is join a coaching program. For the first time in a long time, I feel that I have a remarkable amount of clarity. Each action I take has a purpose – even this blog post. I don’t feel scattered because I know what the end result is – building my internet marketing business as effectively as possible so I can have a six figure salary.
You see, that’s my goal – to make a six figure salary doing what I love – writing about my passions on my blogs and websites. I know in my heart that my days of trading time for dollars are numbered.
For now, I am thankful to have the work because I know that if I didn’t have it, I would worry about money. Now, I can spend all my free time on my business and make sure that each decision I make will further my ultimate goal – to make enough money to support myself and live the life I know in my heart I am supposed to be living.
