Hi

/// Skip if you are just interested in journey ///

Most of my life I have spent struggling. I am not stating this to entice pity or sympathy, quite the contrary. I have never allowed myself to be outspoken due to the knowledge that I am but a drop in a sea of other struggling people in far worse conditions than I. Yet, today I feel it is still necessary for me to acknowledge, in order to move forward

I'm from a family that has our fair share of history with addiction, in fact I lost my mother to it, long before she actually ended passing as a result of her misuse. My father was absent the majority of my life (he shared similar patterns of addiction), and even with the people that took me in, I have always felt deeply alone, out of place, and deserving of nothing except that same misfortune I grew up observing and digesting every day

Due to my experiences with a life of everything this brought (crime, abuse, lack of security, neglect, etc.), I ended up being severely depressed and suicidal for many years, wasting away much of my teens and 20s awaiting that same fate of my parents until met my current partner. She has made me hopeful, sticking with me through all of the downsides and hard times. Now, I need to prove to myself that I can provide and deserve to experience some of the upside of what life can bring

I have no savings, nothing to inherit. I do have decent physical health, semi-satisfactory cognitive functions and acceptable work ethic and discipline

/// Journey - Prep ///

The official journey will start on July 1st.

VISION = "Build a living in 365 days / $100K"

I will be trying my hands at many different endeavours, primarily focused around automation, apps, software, startups, and much more. I do not want to limit myself. In short, anything goes!

PLAN = "Compounding revenue streams"

One crucial lesson I have learnt through working online the past years (especially during COVID), is to diversify and not put all of my eggs in one basket

Instead, I will build several (hopefully successful) revenue streams and either automate or outsource and needed manual labor it requires once set up, and continue to the next project

GOAL = "The ability to enjoy a life of sovereignty"

I want to enjoy and explore a life that I can be proud off and share the experiences with my partner. Also, being able to have a degree of excess capital to assist orphanages here would be a plus

This current week will be spent planning and preparing what particularly should be the focus of the coming weeks ahead and how to organize and optimize time efficiently. Likely, there will be overlapping projects and it will be paramount to keep things structured for the sake of overview, and as "bumpers" for when I inevitably have bouts of depression and need strict guidelines to keep the progression going

This was primarily written to hold myself accountable and as an active first step towards the right direction

If you are struggling out there, I hope you keep fighting to find your way too

DO NOT try to change EVERYTHING at once.

Often people fail, because they wake up one day, tell themselves "I want a change," and then go on to try to change every aspect of their lives.

People quickly find themselves reverting to old happens.

Remember, everything you do does not need to be 150mph.

While the message is frequently "Wake up at 3 AM, write 20 books by breakfast, then swim the Pacific Ocean by lunch," being comfortable and successful comes down to finding your happiness, and what works for you.

For many, this means a slow morning, starting at 10 AM, for others, means going hard at 7 AM but only working for 3 hours a day. You have to define what your view of success is, not try to be Superman in every field, and in every way.

I know that you can get to $100k, and blow that number out of the water, but it is far better to ensure you take it slow, steady, and win the race.

Over decades, countless people have told me, "I want to be a millionaire." My question is always the same, "Do you have $10,000.00 free and clear?" The response is often no, then to explain they don't care about $10k, their focus is a million, or even millions.

I explain simply that if you can not make and save $10k, and manage that, you have no hope of $1 million.

Make every month, especially starting about small, and achievable goals.

The first few months should focus ONLY on simple things. Think, "That is too easy." That is great, make them easy, and if they are easy, make them count.

If you get a hundred simple, easy, and positive changes under your belt in the first few months, it will build momentum and build the confidence that you can do it, BUT if you can not get the small stuff right, the big stuff will never come.

Please ignore all the "This is how I did it," videos and tips, everyone, INCLUDING myself.

All anyone can never tell you how "THEY" did it, and claims "This is how it is done," simply means, this is how "THEY" did it.

Find your happiness, your path, and find what works for you, but please make sure you find it in a way that can last. Too often people find quick success, but from personal experience, I can say that becoming a millionaire overnight is very cool, losing it all the next night, not so much.

Good luck!

Thanks for sharing your story it takes real strength to put that out there. The vision you’ve laid out is ambitious but grounded, and the approach of building multiple income streams with structure sounds smart.
