💡 1 IDEA FROM ME
It’s easier to play the victim and do nothing than take ownership and do something.
It is easy to think:
-
I don’t have enough time
-
I don’t have enough knowledge
-
I don’t have enough ability
Here’s the reality:
-
It’s not a lack of time
-
It’s not a lack of options to learn
-
It’s not that you can’t improve your skill
It’s just harder to do these things. Blaming a “lack of time” is easier than owning our lack of priority and intentionality with the time we have been given.
It’s easier to blame our lack of knowledge than to read a book or watch a series of YouTube videos that give you the steps to take.
It’s easier to blame your ability than deal with the frustration of having to learn something new.
Now here’s the good news; you can take ownership. You can choose to do the hard thing.
My advice: focus on what you can do about it today and not what it will look like a month from now. You’ve got 30 days of potential baby steps before you need to think about what it will look like then.
Playing the victim is easy. Taking ownership is hard. And you can do hard.
The choice is yours.

📖 1 BRIEF BOOK REVIEW
How To Get Paid For What You Know by Graham Cochrane
There are many books on this topic (generating income online, ideally passive income). While it was a little cheesy at times, the author does a good job delivering on the title of the book.
Of course, with books like these, it comes down to implementing the content. However, while much of what I read in this book wasn’t necessarily new to me, it gives some really helpful practical examples for many of its principles.
As far as books in this niche, I found it to be one of the better ones. I highlighted more than I normally do for future reference.
