Guidance Needed - Serious Only Please

I've read about this, it's just that it seems like it requires some start up capital and a lot of time. I am willing to do this when I'm in a better position, but I feel the anxiety of needing some faster results. I know there is no easy get rich quick scheme.

I need to make about $2000-4000 a month within the next 1-2 months and then I will be able to invest more in alternatives.

Until I Can find something to get me that extra source of income then I am struggling to find it because it's crunch time.

Any particular affiliate marketing idea maybe through ClickFunnels and aggressive facebook marketing that you're aware of which could yield quick profits? (like selling knives to rednecks on facebook in a clickfunnel sales website?)

That's important. There's nothing wrong with seeking advise, not even from strangers. Oftentimes getting feedback from strangers could prove to be more valuable because unlike family and friends, a stranger has no expectations for your life. :-)

Oh, so your main complaint is that your life is like most people in this country, if not actually better than most? Really? This response may not be as sympathetic as my last one. :-)

Again, you can rename the challenges, but almost everyone has been pushed to the edge by whatever their personal challenges might be. Look around you. Are your friends and family enjoying the good life with nary a worry in the world? Is your girlfriend? Anyone you know up close and personal?

Well, although this will piss-off a lot of people when they read it, truth be told, I'm sure that 99% of the people that are on this forum would give their left gonad to be making that money, steady, every week. You want to make it, again (you used to). Not many people here ever have or ever will. There are exceptions, of course, but there's a ton of dreamers, here.

I think you misunderstood. I wasn't recommending it for you as much as attempting to give an example of one option. I guess I should have mentioned that you need to find what's right for you. Telemarketing was right for me, but you could fail miserably at it. Most do. My point was, what is your equivalent opportunity as telemarketing was to me. I was desperate, I saw an opportunity and I grabbed it. I was also fortunate that it clicked for me. Actually, I had prior experience in the game, but at a much lower level. Hard to even compare them.

That means only one thing. To look outside the medical field would be a waste of your time and talent. I would think that it would be a field where someone with your intellectual horsepower could find a great opportunity. They certainly exist. And if one doesn't exist, already, create one.

When I came home from Vietnam the very first thing I did after kissing my mother was buy a 1968 650cc Triumph Bonneville. I had a picture of that bike taped to the wall of my hooch and dreaming of getting to go home and ride it, helped keep me alive.

After a few months of being home I decided that I wanted to work in a motorcycle shop. I went down to Triumph of Philadelphia, walked in, took a look around, huffed that Castrol SAE30, heard the roar of the engines being worked on in the service department and immediately knew one thing. I was home. Hmmmm. How to get a job? The floor was filthy - everything from candy wrappers, cigarette butts to sawdust. I spotted a broom in the corner. A big-ass push broom, which obviously hadn't been touched in days.

I grabbed that puppy and started sweeping my ass off. Employees would walk by and I'd nod and give them and a big ear to ear shit eatin' grin - and kept pushin' that broom. The only thing missing was gospel music playing loudly in the background.

Eventually, this managerial type came by and in his most officious manner asked, "Who are you and what are you doing?" I rocked back on my heels and looked at him with total disdain. I replied, "Never mind who I am? Who are you?" He said, "My name is Ron and I own this business - so - once, again - who are you? I replied with, "Hi Ron, my name is Frank and I'm the new employee." "New employee," he retorted. "I do all of the hiring and I've never hired you!" "You've got me there, Ron. I guess I should have said that I'm about to be your newest employee, because you are going to give me a job."

He did give me a job. I started by pushing a broom, eventually started selling used bikes, then new bikes and within a year I was the sales manager. One of the best jobs I've ever had in my entire life. I created that job out of nothing but sheer brazenness.

Get off your ass and if you can't find a better job, then have someone create one based on you not really giving them a choice. This ain't movie script crap. This is what you do if you want to be in charge of your life. Of course, if you don't believe you're capable of such presumptuous behavior - well, what can I say to that?

"A bird in the hand" - if you know what I mean.

If you see an alternative, I'm all ears and would be as supportive as humanly possible. What I won't do is blow smoke up your ass and tell you that "if you just believe in yourself," or "just spend your life looking to help others as much as possible," the money will flow into your bank account. That's just crap put-out by people who know nothing about life, or making money. Sounds great, but you'll wind-up eating those words, because in the end, if you believe that drivel - that's all you'll have. Words. Unfortunately, most of them will stamped on credit card statement, that read "PAST DUE."

The fact that you're still shittin' yellow is part of the problem. Who has learned anything about life by the age of 30? lol

Could be interpreted as a self-destructive personality.

We make our own luck and what we perceive as bad luck is usually nothing more than the disastrous results of the piss-poor choices we have made in life - all made of our own free will.

Well, only you know if that's true or just more excuses.

I'm willing to bet that you've never lived in a trailer park. I have - more than once.

Please! My nickname for years was Kingda Ka. (Look it up).

Life is filled with boredom. Remember, as a species we were supposed to be dead by 25. Just don't make the mistake of thinking that you are dealing with boredom, when in reality you are facing abject apathy.

Cheers.

Since posting this, I have been on a fast and steady road to improving everything one step at a time.

I have a steady job (career potential) earning a good income

I have stability in my life

I am taking steps towards all of my dreams (to help people, to share love and compassion and genuinely be a positive force for those around me)

I'm helping my friend at the moment to develop an IM strategy for his bodybuilding and personal fitness plans, he is a pro bodybuilder and I believe we will be very successful with our venture together.

Thank you all for your insight and help.

I posted this at a tragic time in my life, but I became determined to not give up and let it set me back, instead it only made me stronger.

Out the ashes
