First and foremost, shoutout to Ryan Daniel Moran, author of the book I’m reading: 12 Months to $1 Million for commenting on a previous post with some very encouraging words. He’s out there finding random blogs and rooting for us! Cheers. This brings me to my current obstacle on my road to earning more than

I’ve reached a plateau. I’m currently stuck at the $100k revenue mark and I need advice. I’ve re-listened to my Audible library and consulted my books over again to no avail. I focused intensely on the thought for the past month. I’ve sent it out to the universe looking for

It’s been eleven days into the new year and I’ve made over seven-thousand dollars. Not bad. It’s in line with my goal of earning twenty-thousand dollars a month. Let’s not kid ourselves though, I did get lucky to achieve these numbers. This is obviously not sustainable, for now. New years

I recently attended a New Year’s Eve event called Countdown by Insomniac. In the VIP area I saw “IV Hydration” signs on a tent with a menu taped to the door. You can get a bag of salt water infused directly into your veins for about $200-$300. Wow, I thought

It’s been just over three years since I read Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki. It was around the same time I started my business. In hindsight, there were things in the book I really didn’t understand at the time. I recall concepts like asset and liability or reading

What do you do? I mentally checkout as soon as it’s asked. There is nothing interesting about what we do to make money. I have yet to find any answer worth having a conversation about. If someone uses their job as a defining part of their identity then I simply

I re-listened to The Richest Man in Babylon by George Clason during my workouts the past couple of weeks. I really enjoy that moment where something different resonates with me at a different point in my life. It’s as if something was speaking directly to me. It was a story

Marketing. It’s a diluted term I hear thrown around by people who have never really sold anything before. I do have some experience with marketing as a consumer. Things that compelled me to buy something. I think that’s a great place to start. Save a record of the things that

My life is now becoming a never-ending cycle of habits. I’m getting bored and progress is no longer showing any obvious signs of improvement. Just the same repetition over and over. It doesn’t feel like my diet and exercise will ever give me that elusive penis skin over my abs.

I just came back from a weekend trip with the family to San Diego. We got to enjoy Sea World and ate some comforting food with relatives I haven’t seen in a long time. It felt good. I treated myself to a video game binge this past week. I played

I’ve been thinking about money lately. Why was it invented? What problem did it solve? My entire life it was just another normal facet of life. It is up there with oxygen, food, and shelter. I cannot live in this world without it. Some say it is a tool. For

They say nobody can predict the future. But people do it all the time. We just have to look at it differently. There are some simple questions we can ask ourselves like: What will my business look like ten years from now? Or what business is no one creating? Then try

I’m feeling antsy. I’ve been pacing around my dining room this Sunday morning and decided to write a post. I’m about to launch a product that I essentially half-assed. Of course the voices are telling me it won’t sell. That I just wasted eleven thousand dollars of my own money.

Remote work is the best decision I ever made. I’m a huge fan of Tim Ferris’ The 4-Hour Workweek. When I first read the book, a magic portal opened inside my mind. I saw the path to financial freedom open before me. By avoiding the prying eyes of management and

I just had a meeting with my CPA and his report is showing that my monthly profit this year is stabilizing at a solid three to five thousand dollars a month. I’ve only had a day to absorb the deeper meaning of this number. It has been three years since

I’ve copyrighted an image of an NFT, registered a trademark of a new business, and now proceeding with utility and design patent applications for a new product. Do I think this was all necessary? Not really. The only item absolutely necessary was the trademark registration so I can create a branded

I bought a 3-D printer two years ago. My goal was to create a medical training product that was modeled after a real medical device. After finding the right people and learning the basics, I’ve successfully printed and sold about 200 of these products for a profit of about $50

As an Amazon seller, I look for products that have a profit margin of 100% or better. I basically run the cost-of-goods-sold (COGS) calculations in my head and if I’m not doubling my money, I let the product idea go. The reason for this clear line is that I take

Money is everywhere. How do some see the diamonds where others cannot? On July 27th, 1981 Bill Gates walked through airport security with a bunch of floppy disks rubber banded together. During inspection he warns the airport staff to be careful with it because it’s worth millions of dollars. I’m

One of the important principles of product creation is to examine niches you already belong to. I recently took up backpacking and in my deep dive into the genre, I discovered a community of “Ultralight” backpackers. Ultralight is vaguely defined by having a set of backpacking gear with a base

We were poor. According my uncle, we were poorer than the poorest families in our neighborhood. As a child, my view of the world was innocent and my perception of normal did not have any contrasting comparisons until we stayed in one spot long enough for me to make friends. Our

Portable consumer electronics demand is on the rise. That’s what my intuition is telling me. Of course, I can do slow and tedious research to get concrete evidence that I’m correct. But I believe there are certain numbers that are too time-consuming as a solo entrepreneur to find. Drawing conclusions

There’s nothing quite like writing a paper in college in the middle of the night. Naturally, it’s due the next morning and worth half my grade. Is it procrastination? Possibly, or it has to do with something called Parkinson’s Law. Parkinson’s law is basically where tasks naturally become more important

Once upon a time I had a coworker whom I looked up to. His intelligence and reasoning marked very high by my standard. I always enjoyed picking his brain on certain topics. Despite these great strengths, his flaw was an ego that didn’t allow him to appreciate anyone else’s ideas

In a sudden flash of inspiration, an idea burst forth out of the ether with rapid propagation of scalability and volume. I can see the potential and have a strong positive feeling the product would sell well if marketed and distributed properly. After taking the first step and reaching out

I watched Men in Black 3 last night on Netflix and there was a character I had completely forgotten but fell in love with again. The character’s name was Griffin and he was a fifth-dimensional being that saw all possible realities simultaneously. It was comical because his immersion in these other

The future of remote work in nursing begins with case management. I recently revamped my resume, cover letter, and LinkedIn profile to focus in on this niche field within the profession of nursing. I based this decision on my observations on what jobs offered fully remote positions. It appears there

Dear Son, Your thirteenth birthday just passed. You’re officially a teenager now. There are some things I need to teach you and circumstances have prevented me from passing on what I’ve discovered in my journey about money. I decided to leave you a record of my thoughts and what it

I am currently looking for a new remote job. Upon reflection of my previous successes of finding employment, I noticed a pattern of what works and what doesn’t. It turns out that old school tactics is the clear winner in most of my success of landing a job. I have

Fees, surcharges, and automatic gratuity are all words that are becoming synonymous with the raging inflation we are experiencing. Recently, I’ve been noticing this quiet trend in a majority of the bills I see after enjoying a meal. I look down at the fine print and have been seeing these

Have you ever noticed that some ideas come at exactly the right moment in time and make hundreds of millions? Think of the rise of Netflix causing the fall of Blockbuster or Amazon’s internet shopping putting brick-and-mortar locations out of business. There is a role of luck involved when it

If you have collateralized loans on Celsius then you need to keep reading. I have a substantial number of bitcoin collateralized loans through a corporate account on Celsius and amidst the chaos that is presently ensuing, I assume many of you are also fearful that our money will be lost

I woke up this morning to crypto hell. Bitcoin’s price dropped to $23,000 level and triggered a slew of margin calls on my Celsius account. Looking to resolve the margin calls, I find my account transfers suspended. This is unusual because it means they are holding my money hostage. To

It finally happened. The rumors actually turned out to be true. I am getting laid off at the end of the month. This news came as a shock to most of my colleagues this afternoon. My poor fellow nurses. Our organization is laying off all the nurses in my department.

Here’s a freebie idea worth tens of millions of dollars. I know it’s an excellent idea because it solves a problem I encountered in my quest to become a remote nurse.  In my initial search for viable positions, I saw a new and exciting trend of companies that are looking

How much do you owe? Do you even remember what it’s like to have a positive net worth? I sure don’t. That’s why I’m working on my hustle and telling people what I learn. I am so close I can spend it. I remember graduating high school and getting my

What the hell did I just watch? After 2 hours and 6 minutes of time spent watching Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, I was still processing what happened. Looking at my children excitedly running down the hall as we walked toward the exit, they didn’t seem to be as

Are you interested in a side hustle that could make you an extra $3,000 a month? I know some of you are thinking “Yes, but I don’t have time!” But what if I told you that I spend a maximum of three hours a month to make that money? That’s

I wished someone would have told me about bitcoin when it was $100.  I’d be rich, but only if I invested.  Let’s be honest, if a person tries to convince you to invest in something you don’t understand, would you still do it? Most of us would say no. That’s

How would you like to join one of the world’s most prestigious clubs? As a member, I’d like to cordially invite you to what will become a very exclusive and rarefied privilege.  The only requirement:  Own 1 whole bitcoin.  The admission is the equivalent of $42,252.47 at the time of

Once an abstract concept that had no relevance for most people’s day-to-day life, cryptocurrency is becoming more popular. I hear the topic come up more and more behind the nursing station. Last fall, El Salvador became the first country to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender. Whether or not more countries follow suit,

If the title of this post describes your password, you’re not alone. Are you surprised to learn that you’re not the first to come up with this method of password generation? Don’t be. As a matter of fact, I fall into this demographic, too. I’ve come to realize it’s because

Are you one of those people who bought a house after getting your stable full-time job? Depending on when you bought, this may be a good or not so good thing. On one hand, you’ve chained yourself to a mortgage for the next 30 years and maybe got a low

I am going to keep this short and sweet. The world is always behind when it comes to change. I bet you are also focused on the media headlines, war, inflation and the amount of exposure you have to it is slowly starting to shape your perception of what’s happening

Chances are that you’ve come up with a million dollar idea but someone else beat you to the punch. Maybe you lacked the capital or missed the opportunity to bring the idea to life. Most likely it’s because you lacked confidence in yourself or faith in your idea. In these

Every nurse needs to create a new identity for themselves. Let’s break up the word, ID-entity, and it’s an entity you use to identify yourself. It’s a legal structure that can be used to protect yourself from liability like lawsuits, or people trying to get your hard earned money. There

If you are an RN, CNA, Medical Assistant, Radiology or Surgical Tech, you need to get a backup job. As a nurse entrepreneur, I can tell you that having one job and a single stream of income is the riskiest investment you will ever make in your life. As of
