The question that I’ve been pondering lately is this: what exactly is lifestyle design?
It was only a few weeks ago that I first heard the term lifestyle design. I had no idea what that meant exactly, but in very basic terms I knew that a lifestyle was how someone lives, and to design something is to create it. But, to create your own lifestyle? I had to do some more research…
Lifestyle design is such a new term that it’s not even on Wikipedia yet, but successful internet business gurus are using it like we use air to breathe. So, I decided to do some research, because I want to be an internet business guru someday too.
I learned that lifestyle design, actually creating your own lifestyle and living how you want to live, is something that is very real. People like Timothy Ferris, author of The 4-Hour work Week: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich, has done things in his life to live exactly how he wants to live. He’s a national Chinese Kickboxing Champion, a breakdancer in Taiwan, actor and a multi-millionaire. Oh, and of course, he works only 4 hours a week. Click to continue…
Everybody wants information. This is why we search on Google, watch the news, read non-fiction, ask for help, etc. Consequentially, providing useful information online is the best and easiest way to make money on the internet. Everyone is looking for information, so if you can provide it you have the ability to profit. Think about how much time you spend online each day. How much of that time are you looking for answers or information? Probably a majority.
There are many different methods that you can use to give information to people and generate an income at the same time. Each method has a unique way of organizing the information and the user experience is different as a result. Click to continue…
You’ve just come up with an idea, and it’s the BEST idea you’ve ever had. You spend all of your time thinking about it. You eat, sleep and breath your new idea. After investing a good amount of time and effort, all of a sudden you lose interest, and stop. Does this happen to you?
This is a common pattern that is experienced by many entrepreneurs. A lot of times it’s because of the five following thoughts that circle our brains:
- “I’m not getting anywhere.”
- “I don’t know what to do next.”
- “I don’t care anymore. Why Bother?”
- “Maybe my idea isn’t so great after all.”
- “That person is doing something similar already, and it’s way better.”
If you ever have one or more of these thoughts in your head at the same time, your big idea could ultimately be just that – an idea. Here are some helpful ways to flyswat these thoughts out of your head and get yourself back on track: Click to continue…
My first full day of being laid off was absolutely a waste. I didn’t even leave the house or change out of my pajamas. Not because I was sad or depressed, but because I sat in front of my computer all day thinking of my next money making idea.
The problem with me is that when I start generating hundreds of ideas in my head, I don’t organize my thoughts. In general, things that are organized are successful. For me to have successful and organized ideas, I must find a way to organize the generation of those ideas in my head, before they are even thought through. I found that the best way to do this is to draw a mind map. Click to continue…
So I had said how I was planning to quit my 9 to 5 job when I earned a certain amount of income online. Well, today I just got laid off. I guess my quest to start living off of passive income is starting early – like today.
This is my first time being laid off, and even though my head is still above the water because I am making some money online (Thank God!), I still feel pretty terrible. It’s really easy for me to start thinking negative things like: I don’t have a job, my employers don’t think I’m skilled enough, why me and not that other guy…but I know I shouldn’t think those kinds of things. There was nothing I could do about it. Click to continue…
In my last post, I said that I had took something that I did for my 9 to 5 job and turned it into an online money making machine. The best part about this was that in the process, I actually earned myself a promotion and a raise! I pretty much increased my income by 35% between the two sources within the first few months. This is the story of how it all started. Click to continue…
You don’t have to quit your job to start earning money online. In fact, I wouldn’t recommend it. You can start out slow, and keep the securities and comfort of your job at the same time. If making money online isn’t for you (and it’s not for everyone!) then you can easily stop and go back to your normal routine with little or no loss and regret. Sweet.
J.D and his blog Get Rich Slowly, which I read religiously, share many of the same philosophies as I do. If you do your research, make smart decisions, and be patient – you will ultimately be much wealthier in life. This is how I started making money online, all while I was still working 9 to 5.

There are many reasons why we all want to quit our 9 to 5 job. But how many reasons are there for you to believe you can honestly do that? The answer is: millions. Millions of dollars, millions of opportunities and millions of ideas are just waiting for people like us to embrace. I’ve put my foot in the water, and I have to say, the pool is nice and warm – and I plan to dive right in. Are you coming with me? Click to continue…
No, I'm not a millionaire, but I am living off of passive income made online. I'm here to show
