Please don’t plan on spending 40 years working at the same company. Please…look within yourself and see what it is that you love to do. Gary Vaynerchuk says in “Crush it”…you can make $30,000 per year doing something you love or something you hate.
Incidentally, and this is a little personal, but I’m willing to share. I need to make $2,000 per month from my online/offline business stuff per month. I have cashflow coming in from rental properties, flip some properties, etc to provide the biggest chunk of my income. $2,000 isn’t a lot, I have much higher goals eventually, but that is my initial goal….monetarily.
That being said, I have this passion for online activities. I LOVE teaching people. I had some real “moments” with myself, no, don’t go thinking perverted thoughts. I was diving deep into my brain and really getting my brain wrapped around what makes me tick. I never wanted to be a teacher in a school system, but I have a huge desire to teach people. No, I’m not a guru. However, I have a drive greater than 99% of the people I know to make things happen. And being in that 1% of action takers, I believe, is what will push me over the top.
- Where is your Business going? What do you Love?
Find out what that is, and you will find your what you can do for your “loving”. Every single one of us is different. We all have something we love, or hate with a passion and can turn that into information profits.
- Mental Application is not sexy, yet it IS required.
Everyone buying courses seems to be looking for the silver bullet. They want instant success. Folks, it only comes with hard work and you need to be willing to sacrifice and put yourself out there, take risks, create challenges, and take action. Lip service is cheap.
- Small pockets of expertise, and then branch out.
I have developed a plan. A product roll-out plan for TheInfoPreneur. It started with getting Instant WordPress Training launched. Next, I’ll be re-rolling out the Motivated as Hell course of James, adding to it some of my own thoughts, etc. Then, I’m planning on 2 more must have’s for any InfoPreneur. One on email marketing, and one on creating information products. Creating information products will be the flagship, bread and butter of this site.
TIP VIP Access is going to be required to get the best offers. I will take care of those on my mailing lists FIRST. They, along with the TIP Team, will be what this site hinges upon. So, get buckled in. Tighten the helmet straps. Place into “Drive”.
Lastly, remember…money is an Abstract Goal. That can’t be what your business is based on. You MUST bring in the emotional powers that will allow you to change your life. It is your wants and hates which will provide your drive.

Let me Know What you Think. Retweet, or Comment below. Thanks!
I agree. Great motivational post man.
Since you mentioned a quote, I will also mention on of my favorite quotes:
“Whether You Think You Can or Can’t, You’re Right”–Henry Ford
Glad you liked.
I also like that quote you mentioned. I also like Ford’s other quote:
“you can have your Model-T in any color, just so long as it is black.”
Simplify and conquer.
Hi Brandon,
You’re right – being focused solely on making money and not what you love is the reason why there are millionaires who are miserable and entertainers who commit suicide.
I’d rather do what I love and allow the rest to fall into place.

Hey Kiesha,
I have the video for tomorrow ready…mine and someone else’s…the someone else’s is a must watch. you’ll enjoy.
I know what you’re saying there, it’s easy to be a victim of your own success. Doing something a bit tedious but easy and lucrative can ruin your life in the long run.

Great job with the video. Next you should try a wet paper bag. lol ;0
The message is so true. Who do you want to make money for? Them? or You? It’s something we all need to take to heart.
I’ve got a video to share will all of you tomorrow…good stuff! Must see.

Let us also remember the value of working with others while trying to get the type of job we want.
There will always be other people who’ll share our interests and passion, and it’s a good idea to consider working with them to achieve more things.

Absolutely Julius. You know what else…it’s not only more profitable…it’s more fun! Achieving something as a team is always better than achieving individually.
You’re right on here. So many people don’t live as they would like to but by others standards because that what so many people think is what should be and that’s not it at all. You should go after the life you want no matter what hat life is because it’s it’s what you like.
Break free man…break free!!!
Absolutely Brandon, you need to love what you do. Why do stuff you hate anyway?
