Hi friend, I started side-hustling around this time, 3 years ago. Okay, not actively but I started thinking of it. I

got brainwashed with THE online world where I convinced myself that just like the people I see online, I'm also capable of

• doing what I love for a living
• earning way more than my 9-5
• be away from office politics and the rat race

My mom told me it's a phase.

But you see me today. Taking out 1-2 hours every day helped me change my life forever.

I don't want to make this a long newsletter about my story, most of you know already that I was dissatisfied and used it as fuel to become self-employed at 25. And now I work 3 hours a day.

Cutting to the chase -

Here are some secrets that helped me and can help you with your online $$$$ journey:

1/
​

I edited before my job and wrote after my job. Applied for freelance work during my workday breaks. This helped me score clients and build a portfolio.
​

2/

​

My journey ONLY began when I deleted Instagram, put my phone on DND and turned off all notifications. I have a digitally minimal lifestyle where I don't scroll on any platform.

Read Deep Work by Cal Newport and it'll change your life.
​

3/

Focus on the process and detach from the outcomes. Experimenting is crucial. It's the reason I'm an entrepreneur today instead of a freelancer.

4/

​

Building relationships and learning from people I look up to boosted my journey. My inner circle has people who

• don't complain
• are fairly optimistic
• have an abundance mindset

I remove all the noise.

​

5/

Being in a community of like-minded people helps you level up your ideas. Choose who you want to hang out with.

​

6/

I still don't buy fancy tools or pay for things I don't need. I only pay for solving a problem.

​

7/

​

I'm too lazy to believe in perfection.

Underrated writing online advice - hit publish and move on.

Also don't worry about stats, focus on the next piece instead. Trust me, this helps more than you can imagine.

​

8/
​

Keep learning. Never think you know enough.

I still enrol myself in courses and coaching to help me level up. I spent half my salary in October 2020 on a course and earned 10x back 8 months later. Learning from people who've been where you want to be has never been this easy!

​

All the best!

See you next week :)

Love,

N
