Yes – it’s that time of the month again! My monthly report for February 2011 is due!

I love writing these reports because not only is it a great way for me to look back and see what I’ve accomplished over the past month, but it’s also a way for me to see exactly what I could have done better.

Beyond the actual numbers, this report is actually meant to give you an over-the-shoulder look into my online businesses and the lessons I’ve learned within each. Hopefully you can avoid my mistakes and use my success to inspire you to crush it online too.

I hope you enjoy this month’s report. Click to continue…

Welcome to the first monthly income report of 2011!

Every month since October of 2008 I’ve been writing a detailed report about my online earnings. I do this for several reasons:

1. To help me keep track of how I’m progressing.
2. To push myself to see improvements month after month.
3. To lead by example by sharing both my wins and failures.
4. To inspire.

These reports are less about the numbers and more about what I’ve been up to and the lessons I’ve learned along the way.

Sometimes it’s hard to believe that all of this is real.I wake up and play with my son for a few hours every single morning. I go to several places with my wife during the day and am proud to be one of the only husbands there. I work from home on my own schedule, on my own projects and answer to no one. I have automated businesses setup that can literally make money while I sleep, and somehow I’ve become a leader – an authoritative figure in this make money online and blogging niche.

And most importantly, I’m happy.

Some of you are probably disgusted (which is understandable) because it seems like all of this just sort of fell right into my lap. That I’m just a random guy who got lucky when the stars aligned in my favor and success was handed to me on a plate.

Over the past year, along with a lot of deep thinking about where I am in my life and how I got to this point, I realized that luck has very little to do with it. The only lucky part about my journey was getting laid off in 2008, which opened up a whole new world opportunities for me.

As I said last year in my first annual passive income report, “…my lay off was the best thing that’s ever happened to me. For some reason, my 9 to 5 job was masking the fork in the road that has been there the whole time. It just took an eye-opening experience like a layoff to really see what was available for me and my future.”

Success was not handed to me. Opportunity was. Click to continue…

Welcome to 2011! To start it off I’ll be going over my monthly income report for December of 2010.

Each month I write a detailed report about my online income, sharing not only how much I’ve made but also where it comes from and the kinds of things I’ve been doing that may have had an effect on it. My income reports, however, are not about the money – they are about motivation, inspiration and staying focused.

Writing these reports force me to outdo myself and it’s a great way to hold myself accountable for what I want to accomplish in the future too. More importantly (going back to my entire purpose here on this blog), I’m here to show you that it is possible to make a decent living online, to work less and make more, and to do it in a way where everybody comes out a winner.

A lot of exciting things happened in December, so lets get right to it.

It’s the first of the month again so you know what that means – it’s time for another income report!

Every month I write a detailed post about the money I’ve generated online – how much I’ve made, where it comes from and what I’ve been doing to earn more. I do this not only to help me keep track of how things are going with my online businesses, but also so you can learn from both my wins and my failures. I’ve been keeping this up for the past 2 years and these reports seem to generate the most interest and inspiration for people, which is why I continue to do them. Before I go on, I would just like to thank you once again for all of your support. This blog would not be how it is today without you, and I promise no matter how big this blog grows that I will never forget that.

I hope you enjoy this month’s report. Click to continue…

Another month, another income report!

Each month, I spend time to complete a detailed analysis of my earnings from the previous month, which includes how much I earned, where it came from and what I’ve done that may have had an effect on my income. I do this not only to keep track of how things are progressing, but also so that you can learn from my wins and from my failures. I’ve been keeping this up for almost 2 years now, which means my annual income report go live very soon, so look out for that. In the meantime, please enjoy September’s report. Click to continue…
