Step 1: Finding Alternative Income Sources
Greetings and Welcome to Step 1 of Project: Lifestyle Freedom 🙂
First, I want to say thank you for your interest and deciding to invest money, time and confidence in this course
I’ve done my best to keep as this as simple and concise as possible, cutting out as much unnecessary fluff as possible
I think that you are going to get tremendous amount of benefit out of PLF, and hopefully by the end of this you’ll also agree that you made a fantastic move to join this 4 week business building adventure called:
Project: Lifestyle Freedom
How do you build a business that gives you the freedom to quit your normal j.o.b (just over broke), to get out of the system and the city, so you can get back to nature and live where you want to, work with what you want to, when you want to, and finally have the lifestyle your heart wants?
Well, that is what PLF is all about
Before we get started, I want to quickly introduce myself, and to give you some tips on how you can get the most out of PLF
As you know there is no shortage of “gurus” claiming to have all the answers and secrets I am not a self proclaimed “guru” pretending that I know it all, and I don’t want to be one
I’m just a normal guy like you, I’ve made plenty of mistakes, still do, just like you I am constantly learning, studying and improving, always in the process of, growing and developing
I do not claim to have all the answers… but I do know some things which can help you on the path to Lifestyle of Freedom, getting back to nature and creating income sources free from the system.. which I’m going to share with you here
As you know by now(or most likely know..) I’ve been a diligent student of business, marketing and all things related to that in all my adult years (started around 19-20)
What you’re about to learn in this course is sort of the culmination of what I’ve learned about generating income from the comfort of your own home(or from wherever you want on this earth), so you can have the freedom to better, improve and align your life and lifestyle on this earth with what th heart wants, to live your purpose
Essentially what you’ve got here is the essence, the culmination of everything related to generating income independently I’ve learned and studied over the last years of my life 🙂
Imagine taking the mountain of marketing material that I’ve studied, taking all that and running it through a juicer, delivering a concentrated, highly nutritious and absorbable, easy to consume juice, 🙂
What you will learn from this course can act as a powerful key for you, a key that has the potential of transforming your life
If you follow what you’ll learn in PLF only approximately, there is no question in my mind that you can have a small business, way of generating income free from the system up and running in a relatively short time
Project: Lifestyle Freedom will take you on a journey, similar to the one I took when I first started on this path in my early 20s, the path to Lifestyle Freedom, how I would start over from scratch if I knew everything I do now, back then
Before we begin, let me here and now in the beginning make it clear that PLF is NOT really a guidebook, a do-this course, or a how-to system, or anything like that
This is simply me telling and showing how I’ve went about creating a Lifestyle of Freedom, moving more and more out of the system, and more and more into nature, by building small businesses from home, creating alternative income sources to support this type of lifestyle
And now I’ve made this program avaliable for those of you interested in doing something similar yourself, and for some reason wanted some insight into how I’ve gone about this 🙂
So, now before we start diving into PLF, I’m just shortly going to tell, what “Lifestyle Freedom” really means, how, and why I got into this stuff, how the Project started
What is “Lifestyle Freedom” anyway?
Sometime, somewhere a few years ago I watched a video which among many things mentioned something called, something along the lines of, I don’t remember the name exactly, but the concept, anyway it was called something like:
“The 5 Levels of Personal Needs/Wants”
The guy in the video drew a picture to illustrate this concept, and it looked sort of like this:
And that is what I have called “Lifestyle Freedom”, when you get to the point of being able to follow th heart without any financial restrictions, limitations imposed by society
As you probably know by now, the reason that I got into this stuff is simply because I wanted to break free from living in the city, from working as a cog in that dirty machine, and being dependent on the current system…
Ultimately I just wanted to be able to get back to nature, live a life in harmony with nature, build a small home, plant a garden, and live a solar powered, food from the earth, off grid lifestyle
“And I heard another voice from heaven saying:
Babylon the great whore, that great city that reigns over the kings of the earth, has become a dwelling place of demons, a habitation for foul spirits
Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.”
– Revelation 18
And there are a lot of us who are right now feeling this call, a strong feeling to want to leave the toxic city, and get back to living in harmony with nature
And to be able to do this, I needed to somehow, initially be able to generate some income to take the leap and leave the system, and to further support this lifestyle
What was needed was a small business able to run from anywhere, with just a laptop, from the comfort of the home, ultimately to be able to easily create alternative income streams, free from the system where ever on the planet you’re currently at
And let me tell you now, the things we need to be able to do this, is very underwhelming… All my online businesses are created and run from a simple laptop
As you will see, as we go through PLF together, we can truly do a lot with a little, we don’t need mountains of fancy, expensive equipment 🙂
Back when I was working as a janitor, I remember one day sitting down, with a pen and piece of paper, wanting to figure this out, how to quit being a janitor, leave the city, the system, I wrote down all the sources of income I could think of:
1) Slaving away, working a normal crappy j.o.b as a cog in the system 2) Having a large nest egg…
3) Borrowing money, going into debt
4) Investing
5) Gambling
6) Stealing
7) Selling something
1-6 was out of the equation, as you know I didn’t want a “normal job”, didn’t have a large nest egg to live all life of, didn’t have money to invest, and it goes without saying that
borrowing and going into debt, gambling and stealing was also obviously out of the question!
So if you’re anything like me, #7 is really the once choice, this is naturally what felt most realistic to do and also felt best in the gut, to create and share something and in return receive appreciation for your work in the form of money back, simply a fair energetic exchange
Because each of us have gifts and talents, your gifts, talents, skills, art, knowledge, experience and expertise that can help lots of people
And if we don’t use our gifts, talents and abilities, this is obviously a waste which causes them to atrophy, much like as the eye and eyesight of animals which have left the sunlight and gone into caves to live..
And it’s activating that creative expression within that makes us feel alive anyway, right? 🙂
If we don’t, somehow express our inner inspiration and creativity, something in our lives will always feel as remaining incomplete
Project: Lifestyle Freedom is about giving you the tools, resources and the know-how you need to start creating Alternative Income Sources from the comfort of your own home rather than having a normal j.o.b
And right now, with the connectedness in the internet age we live in, we have right now in front of us a great opportunity of making our living, from anywhere, needing only a laptop
We can now online quite easily create a business around almost anything with greater ease than ever before, make our living by sharing our gifts online
And as you know, I’m sort of a recluse and when I started on this path, and I did not really want to, or feel comfortable with “putting myself out there”, I’d much rather prefer, and be more comfortable by laying low, not poking my head out like this in the limelight
I was happy in the background, and was not really looking for a spot in the limelight
But.. I believe that selfishness and egoism, is evil, just imagine if you sharing your gifts, talents, expertise and experience could be the answer to somebody’s prayer
Would it then be right to withhold what you’ve got, something that could positively help transform someones life, just because you’d rather be unknown and out of the spotlight?
This Project which I started in my early 20s, learning how to take your gifts, talents, skills, experience and abilities and use that to build your own small business that you can run from anywhere has transformed my lifestyle into one of freedom
What’re you going to learn in PLF is stuff I first learnt to survive, I had no expectation and did not think that a few years later I would end up teaching this stuff 🙂
I just figured that creating and working a small business from home on the intronet would be perfect for a introvert like me
And the reality is that thousands of people like you and me are creating these types of small online businesses, which can be highly profitable
And this is what Step 1) of PLF is all about, finding Alternative Income Sources, good ways to generate your income, which can harmonize with nature, rather than by bad circumstances being “forced” to work in the current toxic system
And there are many different kinds of Alternative Income Sources, easy to do from home, which we will talk about here in the first step of PLF 🙂
