Okay guys and gals, let’s start Monday off with a motivational bang!  If someone asked me right now for the three biggest things a person can do to have more freedom in their lives I would say they are…

  1. Get at least far enough away from big cities to avoid most of the problems that go along with them
  2. Set up at least a small holding homestead that provides you some of your food and a lot of beauty in your life
  3. Create a source of income independent of employment in the conventional sense

 

Life is too short to wait until you are almost dead to retire for a false promise of walking down a beach that you may never step foot on.  About 14 years ago today, I took a 20 dollar MP3 recorder, the only free time I had (my commute) and started a journey that in 18 months led to almost total lifestyle freedom.  There are many ways to do it, and if I can do it, so can you.

Join Me Today to Discuss…

  • The reason I chose independent income for today’s title over starting a business
  • A inverse recession is HERE, not might be, IS, and a depression is likely coming, and that means get on it now
  • Real estate in major cities across the nation is eventually going to crash, we have seen all of this before
  • There is literally nothing you can do to stop what is coming, you can’t pray it away, vote it away or argue it away
  • What you can do is build something of your own
  • Something I heard one time that applies more to secondary income then it does to jobs
    • When a person says “but what can I do”, their problem is a lack of
      • Motivation
      • Imagination
      • Determination
  • Yes it is that simple, don’t look for it to be complicated
  • The only rules of sales and marketing you need to know
    • There are only two types of products, physical goods and “services” (e-products are services)
    • Every product that sells is either needed or wanted, there is nothing else
    • There are three true desires that all products fit into, only three
      • Profitable
      • Entertaining
      • Life Changing
    • When you have all three, you have the “golden trifecta or product marketing”
    • Sales is a transfer of belief
    • Marketing is telling your story
    • Viral Marketing is when others tell your story, it isn’t new
    • People will help you, but it won’t really matter until you don’t really need their help
  • Final Thoughts
    • I really just gave you everything you need
    • The rest is only academics and action
    • The only thing to add is the permaculture principle of “Apply self-regulation and accept feedback”
    • It is now and has always been all on you, you will or you won’t

Now is the Time to Build Independent Income – Epi-3077 — 4 Comments

  1. Hi. I’ve been listening off and on for couple years but listening more frequently now.
    I suffer from PTSD from time working in law enforcement and probably weeks away from getting medical discharge. I say this because I can get triggered easily and take me time to calm down.

    Most of my healing has been been focusing on my family and I’ve developed a great relationship with my son who has CHARGE syndrome. He’s 11 years old and very smart and once he’s focused on something he can do some amazing things that “regular“ and “normal” people just don’t grasp.

    I was really enjoying the episode and thought it would be great to listen to this with my son so we can brainstorm ideas and such. But then you used the R word when referring to some dummy in government or something like that. That really triggered me and I had to stop listening and really effected me negatively.

    I’m going to try to finish episode today because it’s so important but I just wanted you to know that words have a lot of power and the R word is such an ugly word. You’re a teacher and I’d like to ask you if one of your grandchildren had special needs, would you use that word or want anyone that is teaching them use that word?

    If anything people that care for special needs individuals need this podcast more than others as they’re more vulnerable.

    I’m still a listener but unfortunately I can’t let my son listen to the episode but really wanted to.

    • With all due respect anyone that takes the word “retarded” as used in this episode to be an insult to people with “special needs” has a PERSONAL PROBLEM.

      I am absolutely tired of language being censored by enforcement or fear of “triggering” someone, anyone. Pink pussy hat wearing libtard, decent guy that is a cop doing his best or fill in the fuckin blank.

      Literally NO ONE uses the word retarded to describe a person with say autism, or any actual disorder any longer. The word at one time was used to define people who were “affected by intellectual disability”.

      Now that is not done, it has been abandoned as such use. IE it DOES NOT APPLY TO YOUR SON who would never have been called it any way from what you say.

      It has another definition, that is simply, “very stupid or foolish”.

      I refuse to not use a perfectly good word because someone, anyone is “offended”. You can’t choose how others speak but you can choose how you react. If you read something into a word and let it trigger you, especially when what you made it mean was CLEAR as day never meant, you are looking to be offended.

      May be instead of shielding your kid from that you TEACH him that. Likely he’d never even be offended by the word unless you taught him to be so anyway.

      • I guess you missed my point entirely, I just think you’re better and smarter to use better words.

        As for fear of triggering people, that doesn’t sound like good survival advice. I think people should be aware that some people can be triggered by any number of words and if you drop or say wrong thing to the wrong person, it can go bad very fast. Yeah, I know you like to say you’d shoot or kill or whatever if someone does something to you and family etc. I’ve heard it all before and from my experience there is always someone that is more badass or quicker or whatever. So please save the rant on how macho you are for your drinking buddies.

        As for the unsolicited parenting advice, save those for your own kids and family.

        • I didn’t miss your point, I just don’t care.

          See section 3, I wrote this in 09, it has been there ever since. Get over it or get packing and walking.

          If you are triggered by words you don’t get near my group in a “survival situation” anyway. Also, no one said the square root of fuck all about being bad ass or macho except you by the way. Something tells me in spite of how you used it here, you are projecting.

          If you start worrying about “words triggering people” you end up with the stupid ass politically correct bullshit we have in society now. Because where the fuck does it end? What word is next? “Biological male”?
