VII. My Manifesto
My mission is to start a company that allows me, Jennifer and Luna to live our ideal lives together. This company allows us to develop and prosper while giving us the luxury of exploring the planet and new climbing areas. The company gives us passive income by drawing on my skills of writing / reading, computers and helicopter perspective. The first cent is earned as quickly as possible and from there on the process is improved upon. Once we reach a level of income exceeding our expenses we can quit our day jobs. The company employs specialists that like their work and appreciate us as employers. We aim to help them develop and grow with us through long standing relationships. The company helps people feel good about their life, reach a happy state of mind, write well, create wealth or experience adventure. I do the same by regular retreats from improving the business and regular spiritual and health practice. The work we do feels very meaningful and helps us wake up early in the morning. We network and befriend people who are also starting an internet-based company or who are also trying to help the same people we are.
VIII. Key Moves
- Keep having a 9-5 day job and make the most of it.
- Offer an advisory service in one area and sell my time.
- After having done this. Create a product (text or video) in the same area and sell it.
- Start networking with other people attempting the same activities.
