Dad's Mission Impossible?

  $20 + $96 = $116 in Fiverr sales Minus the $97 Brambila Course investment   = $19 in profit💪😃 as of 26/10/2021 I post this image not to brag about what,I imagine, is a fairly humble Fiverr earnings for 3 months work,but more to inspire myself that this actually seems like it could be becoming a bit possible,maybe? Apparently on average,it takes a new business 3 years to break even on their initial set up costs.That is, if they have managed to overcome the significant hurdle of trading for 3 years,something I imagine is much harder now than it's event been. I have no idea how true this statistic is, but it seems depressingly bleak enough to be true. With that in mind, yes it was only a $97 dollar investment and yes it's ultimately a Dad playing the ukulele in a bedroom but I'll take 3 months as a successful break event point. Probably the most significant success is drifting off to sleep and along with all the standard dad life worries (that damp patch on the bathroom c

     Is it possible? I mean really possible? Every time I go online I'm inundated with dubious offers from smug,white teethed types telling me how their course is going to be the answer to all my prayers. BUT Has anyone actually met or does anyone know someone who's completed an online course and is now living off the passive income from skills they acquired directly from it? For example,someone who at this very moment could be content in the knowledge that during their last leisurely visit to the toilet, they probably sold another 500 journals. The romantic in me says that anything is possible and I need to stop being cynical. The cynic in me says I need to grow up and get bin bags on the way home. So I suppose a reasonable question could be,who should I be listening to? I think I need to listen to both because I will probably need both at different times to succeed. I will need, control,caution,routine and discipline to achieve.I will also need spontaneity,courage and versati

Is the "Dadmission" just about making income for yourself?  Well, without wanting to be accused of doing some serious "virtue signalling" the answer to that question is immediately yes then also a bit no. Something that has always resonated strongly with me is the advice you get when you're on a plane in regards to oxygen masks. " In the event of an emergency, oxygen masks, will drop from the ceiling.Please make sure to put your oxygen mask on first before helping anyone else with theirs." I've always liked this,it's always made sense to me. If you're not in a strong enough position physically,emotionally and financially to support yourself then you can't support anyone  else. So yes the main reason I want to try and create passive incomes would be to give me all the time to do whatever I choose. This "whatever I choose" is of course lot of things.It's more time with my kids.It's,who knows, being the 1st ukulele pla

    The plan to financial freedom sounds simple! Start some income streams,keep working on them until one shows itself to be a winner.If one does then triple down on it and keep digging that 2 inch wide hole until it becomes several miles deep etc.  The only problem with that is, what do you do when it's been months of work and there are still no leads,no orders, no sales,no holes,certainly none 2 inch wide and miles deep! The only thing to do,I imagine, is keep sowing those seeds,try not to lose faith and keep on digging until you have that winner. It's been 3 months since I finished the Brambila Course so it's probably 12 to 24 months too soon to be expecting to be able to hand my notice in.Perhaps the fact that my Fiverr account has actually made something would make it the obvious hustle to focus on? Focussing on what is actually making money (even if it's buttons to start with)  stops me being tempted to flit from fad to fad. The ego driven desire to go viral and d

    Hi,I'm James.That's me up there and again there. I'm not sure why I'm looking so grumpy? Could be because I've just been caught by the Postman wearing a Jui Jitsu gi totally out of context in the kitchen. Anyway welcome to this blog about me trying to do something fairly difficult,not Brazilian Jui Jitsu as this imagine would suggest. Along with what seems like the World and his dog I'm on a mission to see if I can create side hustles which, through time and no doubt lots of effort could lead me to the promised land of financial and Time freedom?  I've always tried to go through life with an open mind, especially when it comes to education. Sometimes my open mindedness gallops childishly out of control into naivety. For example there have been lots of false dawns over the past decade or so.  There's at least $200 invested in a " Chocolate fireguard business"   that I'll never see again but I have accepted that this is all just part of t

                                                                                                                  My experience of side hustling is limited but I imagine it can be equated to anything in life that's worth achieving. Sometimes you hear things that really resonate. Often its something that you've heard many times before but just weren't ready to hear.  Dom Bavaro good guy and Brambila private facebook admin man said something along these lines in a recent webinar. Please excuse the pun but this time the idea took root. Here's the link to the webinar in case want to watch it.  I want a side hustle One of things that attracted me to The Brambila Method is that it's not offering just one side hustle that's going to make you financially free. It might be one of many that you have to practice and perfect over and over again. You can surround yourself with all the inspirational quotes there are but ultimately the main component to success is your ability
