How hard do you work to make money?

Money has nothing to do with the time, but it is about the effort you put in the right direction. You can be lazy and still make a decent living. All you need is a bunch of trustworthy people you can pay to do the work for you

For almost an entire year (mid-2018 to mid-2019) I worked roughly 40 minutes per week because that was all the free time I got on some of the evenings (conscription, military).

And once I finished the program, I had all the time in the world, but that habit of working on IM only roughly 40 minutes per week didn't change much. Mostly I just read/watch news, learn new intriguing concepts, play games, eat, shit, and sleep (the usual stuff). And I kind of hate it. Especially when I read some ppl on IM forums claiming they write 100 posts each month. 100 posts!!!! If I worked like that, I'd be making 100k each month after just one year... How can I not beat myself for my laziness? Because look how much better things could be if "worked" like everybody else!

I'm lazy as fuck (in comparison to most ppl)...
I'm just glad it works even like this
God bless passive income​

Wow this is amazing. Can you give some broad ideas how this works, you don' t have to give the specifics.

I'm working more then 40 hours a week and manually getting clients and spending tons of 1 on 1 time but my plan for 2021 is to get into more passive.

I'm also going to start building some passive making membership and affiliate sites on the side and see if can rank them and get money coming in next year so i can cut my hours. I hate all the life i have to give up and all the spoiled entitled business oweners i have to listen to day in and day out in order to get their money and listen to their bitching once i do.

Just start seeing the life like a videogame... some people play 16 hours a day MMORPGs to make digital gold. I prefer to make real gold.

Fighting monsters with cool skills is more fun than writing articles for seo...

And 8hrs per day is nothing to be honest.

I would say Work smart and don't try to put the 10 to 15 hours at the beginning. Try to be productive.

Actual work 2-3 Hrs. Pretending to work 16hrs+

A decent amount. I mean, who said this would be easy? Just make sure that you're making the most out of your time. "work smart not harder" is certainly true but I think it's so cliche we forget what that actually means.

Here's a breakdown of what I do:

I have a full-time programming job that is remote. I make around 115k a year with little bit of bonus (all employees got oculus rift for christmas and a 5k bonus). 40 hours / week.

My free lance client can't find anybody who wants to code their legacy code. He literally begs me to work at a rate of $80 / hr. Many times I finish a task or two and charge him 10 hours / week; he is happy to pay.

I put in couple hours a week in my shopify website that I just started. I think I'm about to break $2k in sales after 3 months? A lot of my time goes into marketing and building relationships with partners. 3 - 5 hours / week

I write covered calls on Robinhood. Ideally making $500 - $2000 / week. 1 hour / week

You have to really want it and not have any needs. Even for me, there are some nights where I am extremely lonely and the emotional burden can get overwhelming. I'm not a heavy drinker but alcohol helps occasionally. Just hooking up with a girl cures it even more.

I'm 29 years old and I definitely want to be a millionaire in 3 years. I'm about 30% there so we'll see what happens. Don't think you can escape hard work if you want a lot of money!

Sure, but writing SEO articles is like level 1, you can learn and apply much better (and funny) skills in IM
