Time for a Rant
I work for a very large corporation (which I don't particularly like) and had a job interview with another up and coming company yesterday. I didn't get the job because they told my headhunter - "He definitely had the skills and experience to do the job but we didn't feel that he was excited about it. He just didn't have the energy we are looking for."
No energy? I wake up between 4-4:30 every morning to work out or read. I work 50-60 hours per week at my corporate job, own 7 rental properties (13 units) that cash flow about 2/3 of what I make from my corporate job each month, and still manage to spend lots of time with my kids (3) and their sports. I think I have a little energy. I've successfully flipped several houses as well.
This reaction about my low energy got me to thinking. Before the interview I was having lunch at Jimmy John's and they had a quote on their table:
"Try to live the life most people won't for a few years so you can live the life most people can't for the rest of your years" |
So I want to use my energy where it works best. I think I have lots of it. I am asking the forum here about getting into internet marketing. I have tried a couple of times in the past and not liked where the mentor I was working with was taking me.
I've written a couple of e-books that I am thinking of putting on amazon Kindle. I made a blog for them and sold some copies but nothing to write home about. I'm wondering about writing several more 'how to' books and make some money that way. If I can get to about $4,000 per month combined with my rental income, I could quit the corporate world for good - and I bet my energy level would soar.
Any advice? I am ticked off enough to have lots of motivation. Thanks for anything you can offer me.
