I’ve worked in Corporates and Startups and other businesses. I’ve been a salaried employee, a wage worker and a consultant. And ….I’ve been an entrepreneur for a long, long time.

I developed a vision board and on this vision board I put both an investment property and ..read more

Ever felt that working hours for money is a giant waste of your time and your life!? Yes??! IKR.  When you’re getting up to go to work, and going through the same routines, just to earn the same paycheck, then doing it all over again tomorrow it feels like groundhog day!  Geeez, don’t you wish there was a better way!?

As a blogger, I have a number of really cool products that I mainly give away for free! Things like checklists, cheat sheets and guides offer my readers a huge amount of value and are super easy for me to implement on my blog. I use these as lead magnets to grow my email subscriber list. But every now and then I’ll create a product that’s super special and is something so valuable that it is marketed with a price tag. Selling products like courses, ebooks and downloads is one way bloggers can make a great income every single month! A course or ebook is a great source of passive income ..read more
