You need to create a product. One that can be sold, by yourself and/or others (if that's what you choose to outsource) while you eat, sleep, and live your life.<br /><br />Sure, right now, you're stuck trading hours for dollars ... but you have spare time. In that spare time, you need to define your product, create it, figure out how to market it, figure out how to have it manufactured if it needs to be (i.e., pay *other* people to trade THEIR hours for dollars), and then sell it and collect the money.<br /><br />Right now, I'm cooking several product ideas. Simultaneously, I'm networking and meeting folks who can capitalize the idea (i.e., investors) and a few folks who can handle the marketing and sales. My goal is within the next 9-18 months to stop trading hours for dollars, and move up.<br /><br />Not everyone's cut out for it -- hey, if we didn't have a working middle class, this kind of thing wouldn't even be possible -- so don't feel bad it if it just don't click for you, or you can't make it work. Sometimes, it's just not the right time ... the opportunity just isn't there. But, he's not full of crap, I can say that much. What he talks about is the classic, repeating pattern that you see with many entrepreneurs and self-made wealthy people.<br /><br />It is absolutely possible, and it's not actually that hard. But, it does take some specific knowledge and figuring it out as you go is very time consuming and "expensive" in terms of hours and thus dollars.Dossy Shiobarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16376230923556264634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8342544694680738280.post-18704669970418657952010-08-13T15:03:04.215-04:002010-08-13T15:03:04.215-04:00Okay, not even joking, but my comment verification...Okay, not even joking, but my comment verification word was 'spitim'.<br /><br />Spit.
