escribr Weekly Bits & Pieces #1 - Remove these words from your vocabulary.
Welcome to our weekly email series "Bits & Pieces" where we bring you
the best tips, ideas, and insights to help you build your own freelancing business.
Remove these words from your vocabulary.
We are going to offer you some tough love here...
If you're in a situation where you can barely afford
to pay your rent, food, and anything else?
The terms "passive income" and "work less"
should be removed from your vocab.
If you want to make more money while working less...
If you actually want to earn a passive income...
Well...
EARN IT!
Get out there and make some money.
Put in the effort and your active income will rise.
Then, using that active income, turn it into passive income.
True passive income is only available to those with ridiculously large sums of money.
So don't try to save time by using shortcuts.
Stop looking for the next homerun without putting in the effort.
It's the equivalent of buying lottery tickets in the hopes of winning.
If you're not careful, you could spend the rest of your life doing it.
So first and foremost, get your active income pouring like a roaring river.
Then use that to multiply your income through semi-passive methods.
The sooner you stop chasing the "easy" way,
the sooner you'll be able to make the money you want and live the life you desire.
What is the best way to start a service business?
Jack Butcher is convinced that the best way is to leverage
the "Permissionless Apprenticeship" model.
He elaborates on Twitter that the basic idea is that you find someone you admire
and start doing stuff for them without asking.
Video editor? Cut up their best talks into shareable clips.
Writer? Organize their tweets into a book outline.
Designer? Illustrate their ideas.
Et cetera.
Worst-case scenario, you gain some experience while also providing
a significant amount of free value.
Best case scenario, they take care of your marketing,
get you in front of a lot more people, and possibly even offer you a job.
