A simple introduction

WARRIORS! Come out & plaaaaaaay.

I've found myself here through digging around for ways to make money. To make GOOD money, sustainable money, and easy money. Now I don't expect to start off and press some buttons and get a few thousand dollars. I understand that even this "Easy"money will be slow at first, and it will still require effort and work on my part.

The reason I say easy is because I work nearly 35 hours a week at a BUSY restaurant as a cook making under $12/hr. I was contented with this for a long while until almost a year ago next month, my father passed away. My dad was everything to me and in the last few years we had become a bit estranged, although he's always been my hero, and he suddenly passed away unexpectedly to do diabetic complications. He didn't prepare for this (He was relatively young) and didn't leave us much behind except random belongings that are now precious to me, and a few thousand in life insurance.

Ultimately I got less than Xk from it and have less than Xk left, and I'm no longer content with my 9-5 slave routine. I want to take this last bit of cash and this new determination and unhappiness with my current life and transform it into something. I want to make my Dad proud, even though he's not around to see it. I know what he always knew what I was capable of, but have always been lazy. I came across this forum and after reading around quite a bit I am both cautious and excited to begin trying my hand at some of this.

If someone could mentor me to start off, that'd be excellent! Or if I could be pointed in the direction of some good guides that are 2015-relevant.. Perhaps a suggestion on where to start even would be nice I suppose. I went and after reading some things around here bought a domain and hosting and put together a website based on a niche I know well, and have ideas and information to expand it personally with my own quality content. Not sure HOW niche it is or if there's any profit potential in it but it's something I know and I figured even if I couldn't monetize, the practice would be beneficial. Looking forward to hearing from you

    Hi Shimdroid - I saw that movie a long time ago, too, and I wonder how many people would know that fun reference from it? Cool that you quoted that.

    Best wishes and best of success to you in everything.

    Word of advice, being new to the forum and stating your budget probably isn't the best idea.

    You will more than likely be swamped with bogus messages and offers.

    Good luck with everything!

    I wish you every success

    Welcome to the forum.

    I'm glad that you realized that active income is not the way to go.

    Active income is simply selling your time and, at the end of the day, you are not really building a long-term strategy as far as the recurring income is concerned.

    Passive income is the name of the game.

    Unfortunately, finding a coach isn't as simple as you think.

    You have to remember that a lot of people offer coaching services.

    While there are few that truly know what they're talking about and can deliver solid results, there are also a large number of people who are playing the "fake it until you make it" game.

    I'm not knocking that hustle, but that is a serious risk that anybody looking for real coaches or gurus face.

    You want somebody who's the real deal.

    If you want to ensure that you hooked up to a person who truly knows what he's talking about, ask for a W9 form.

    This is a legal tax form issued to vouch for the actual income generated by an individual.

    Solid mentors would provide a W9.

    If I were you, I would just focus instead on checking out the war room and looking for free guides there.

    Or looking online for many passive income blogs.

    There are quite a number of them.

    Pay attention to their advice.

    Cross-reference them with each other and you will see which guys are telling the truth and who are simply faking it until they make it.

    I feel unqualified to answer you since I myself am a new warrior, but, I can say that my 9 months of creeping before joining as taught me one thing. There are more posts on what you're asking and ideas those have written about to keep you busy for years.
    Welcome to the WF and I truly hope you find what you're looking for!
