Okay, I have really been slacking on this blog. A lot has changed/happen in the past couple of weeks (months?) and I should have been blogging. Where to begin, so much to blog about. So to get caught up on all the gossip of John Murch, I figure I would start with the fact that I have moved back from sunny Arizona to NYC area. The past 6 months I have been living in Arizona and enjoyed it very much. It was a nice mini retirement as Tim Ferriss would call it. It was a great chance to work on my passive income as well as learn more about myself. I high suggest every 4 to 6 years (or sooner) to take 6 months off and focus on your own projects/goals.
The past 6 months I have learned a lot about so many different areas of life, it has been great. I know I will be back in Arizona some day, it’s just a great place to be, maybe I would consider being a winter bird at one point in my life. I loved living in Arizona, it was like everything was 50 to 75% off (coming from NYC) and amazing weather all the time! I even noticed that Starbucks is cheaper in Arizona then in NYC.
Okay, so for those dedicated readers, the end of Feb has come and gone and you are probably asking, did you reach your goal of $100/day in passive income. Well the answer is no, BUT I have increased my passive income. I knew going into this it was gonna be a challenge, but hey, Rome was not built in a day, so I plan to continue working at this until I do reach my goal.
Passive income can come from many different things, being a geek guru (might not brand myself like this, rather John Murch, build your NAME! Think @garyvee), I figured I could easily make this money using the internet. I spread myself too thin and did NOT focus on 1 specific object, but spent time looking at various ideas, concepts, etc. You need to think big (and kick ass, as Trump would put it). I only started to leverage my knowledge to the fullest, I have so many idea’s that I am holding myself back by my own limited resources. I need to think bigger and put a team together to work on some of these projects.
I also did not leverage my knowledge and understanding to the fullest. I spent most of my time relaxing as well as trying and learning many different things. I was trying to “find myself” as well as BUILD things that I have been pushing off for WAY WAY too long. Seeing how other people are making money, such as charging a retainer to host/maintain a website as well as do SEO monthly review/updates can bring in a large amount of money. For myself, I was trying out a lot of new things and failing. You need to ready fire aim where you are constantly failing, but improving. Making those iterative improvements will allow you to hit your target even fast the next time around.
