Making a Living Writing — How I Designed This Life (Part 2 of 5)

3 years ago at this time, I also had questions like — “How to make money online writing” and “passive income streams.” Now that I get these Qs in my DMs, I don’t respond to most of them. I have a reason — hear (or maybe read) me out… Because most of these generic questions are easily Google-able. If you’re asking a Q to a specific person, it might help to navigate to their content and see if they’ve already spoken about it. Because most online creators build in public. I also learnt from people like Ali Abdaal on YouTube and Tim Denning on Medium about how can I quit my job. I now consume a lot of content from Justin Welsh and Matt Gray on how to scale my solopreneur business. So if you feel how I used to feel back then, which is: <ul> <li>A misfit in the corporate sector</li> <li>Don’t see the point of 8h workdays</li> <li>You know you don’t belong here but don’t know where you do</li> </ul> Here’s the drill: <ol> <li>Read books (Unlimited Power by Tony Robbins changed my life)</li> <li>Look at people you want to be like and binge on their work</li> <li>Find people who’ve done what you want to, and emulate their process</li> </ol> I do the third one a lot because I’m lazy. Why reinvent the wheel? So that’s how I realised how I could write online, create Upwork proposals, apply for gigs, and earn online. The universe helps those who help themselves. This is part 2 of my 5-part series on why I quit my job to design my lifestyle, and how I did it. The reason I’m writing this is because this month I complete 3 years of the time my brain started thinking this way and I acted upon that instinct. This is in the hope of helping somebody out there who’s feeling the same agitation and doesn’t know what to do. <a href="https://medium.com/side-hustle-club/making-a-living-writing-how-i-designed-this-life-part-2-of-5-5e559015871c">Website</a>
