Underestimated + Misunderstood
Everyone thinks all I do is run my own staffing business. All they understand is that I find employees for companies and get payed a fee. A high one. Pretty much every deal I make is between $5k and $20k. Figure that into a few deals a month...
Anyway, I chose this job as my "main" income. Seemed respectable enough and I knew I was good at it, since I had worked at a billion dollar staffing agency before quitting to start my own business.
It's awesome because my overhead costs are negligible for this stream of income.
Know what that money does? It pays my bills and it's the seed money for the rest of my enterprises.

But I wasn't always this way. I struggled to get here. Alone in my vision with no one's encouragement or belief in me. And honestly, it's the best feeling in the world. You alone are in charge of your destiny, and you are the only person you need to impress.
I was broke af with only enough money for the next couple months of mortgage payments.
Check out the side hustles I take on to fund my operations in early days:
Nannying
Proofreading/Editing
Resume Writing
Waitressing at a strip club
Gift Wrapping
Organization
Running Errands
Private Investigator (for scorned women - no joke, you wouldn't believe the women willing to pay money to have a partner to investigate significant others) cha-CHING.
The list goes on...
I made a goal. A goal to be free of all the average goals everyone else has. I want to challenge myself and start my own empire. And to start my adventure, I am keeping this blog to hold me accountable to my seed fund goal.
I don't believe in investors or angel money, or any of that, I believe in autonomy. And not relinquishing your power over money. So here is my goal, and this blog will keep me accountable.
I will make $100,000 by 12/31/17.
-A guaranteed fund to pay all my bills for the next year.
-A give-away fund. (for DIRECTLY helping out people in need)
-Seed money to keep investing in my businesses.
