It's too risky....

I use to have a scarcity mentality (and i still do but not much as before). When i graduated from my job years ago, i thought i would have a hard time getting a job. There was several reasons: I wasn't experience enough, average university results and all the good jobs are taken.

But the real problem was not the above. The real problem i had was my attitude. I had a scarcity mentality. I thought that nobody would hire me. And it was true, i didn't get hired until 3-4 months after graduating. Things turned around when i didn't care if i had a job or not.

Have you ever seen some of your friends or, someone that you know that are not smarter than you but has surpassed you in terms of achievement, or have done great things in their lives? What's the real reason? I think it's because of their ATTITUDE!

We all know a lot of rich or successful people have average intelligence but the big difference between Us and Them are their attitude.

So here's an exercise for you: Whenever you think that it's too risky or too hard, try to think the opposite. You never know what might happen.

Accepted into Sydney University

Yay! I got accepted in uni. Although i didn't get accepted into my preferred course, Acturial studies, i did however got accepted into Usyd B of commerce. I seriously need a career change.

If you're not happy what you are doing, you might as well stop complaining and doing something that you like to do and not what your parents or friends wish you to do.

My plan

I've got a few plans for this year. One of my goal is to make six figure passive income by the end of this year.

Here's my plan for the next 4 weeks:

  • Learn how to build and set up my own website.
  • Learn how to program in HTML
  • Learn how to write an ad copy
  • Sell my products and learn how to split test
  • Make sure i measure metrics on all the important things
  • Try to make $100 by the end of the month online. (You have to start somewhere and you might have to aim for something reasonable)
  • Try to set aside at least two hours doing this with no distractions. That means, no surfing the net for porn, chatting on MSN, watching movies & TV and take breaks 5-10mins every hour. So focus, focus and focus.
Ok, let's start and see how it goes!
