Every business uses a sales funnel to find a lead, then convert that lead from cold to warm. Eventually, you want your audience to make multiple purchases from your business. There are two main ways to grab someone from the "street." You can advertise or use content marketing (content creation).

Life is much more challenging if we go through it alone. If we learn to share, we can make new friends and grow our wealth-a true win-win.

I released my first book in January 2021. My goal was to put 1,000 high-content books on Amazon over five years. After 2.5 years, I have 930 books. My goal has shifted to content marketing to push the sale of these books. I will always continue to keep releasing books, as they are the best advertising for your old books. But I also use my blog, Medium, and LinkedIn to funnel people to my paperbacks. Writing is my long-term passive income plan, along...

As I continue my quest from San Diego to Pensacola, I can't help but think about my writing career. I love writing and sharing my passion for creating revenue streams. These passive income streams will help me retire comfortably at age 42. Writing is one of my favorite ways to generate income; however, it's not a lucrative stream now. That's okay; I became a writer for long-term prospects and to add value to people's lives. We all have creative abilities...

Living below your means gets a lousy repetition. People believe this means you can't buy Starbucks, eat out, or go on vacation. LBYM simply means you live a couple of notches below your income level. If you earn $6,000/month, you try to live on $4,000. We call the extra money cash flow, and it is the heart of your household. We use the additional income to save and invest. Saving and investing have different purposes, but all lead to the same results....

Are you trying to save money by working your job and putting money in a bank account? How's that working for you? Saving is about your relationship with money. If you have a scarcity mindset, meaning you believe there is a limited amount of money, it'll be tough to save. Conversely, having an abundance mindset means you can create money at any time-which you can. Is it easier to save from your paycheck or walk someone's dog once a week for $20? That's...

The school system doesn't create well-educated children. I'm not here to blame anyone because it's challenging to educate people in mass. This opens the possibility for educators to build their own tutoring businesses. But we are not aiming to exchange time for money. We can release blogs and videos teaching our various educational techniques. From these, we can build online courses and printables. Finally, we can do one-on-one tutoring, but it will...

Remote work can be a dream come true for top performers. I envision that most remote workers will soon work in a freelance-style consulting capacity. It is becoming increasingly expensive to maintain a large number of lazy employees. Do you have what it takes to be...

Here, we focus on protecting what we built through growing an emergency fund and a large savings account. Investing is the last...
