The Journey from Employee to Entrepreneur to Sarap-Kumita-Habang-Natutulog Living


The tamad / procrastinating way of employee living:

We work. While at work, we try to get easy. During free time we play games, we try to make ourselves happy (but essentially only in the short run, or panandalian lang). If a PC is available, we browse the internet aimlessly. If we get depressed, we resort to quick-fix / escapist solutions.

When at home, we watch TV. Go to the internet. Play music, and play games again. We go FB to chat or check on what others are doing. We go to sleep dreading the next day.

Kelan p ba ang day-off ko?


The wise / proactive way of employee living:

We work. While at work, we take advantage of the extra time to make ourselves productive. We try to read and learn about improving & expanding our financial literacy. We check books on finance, business or entrepreneurship. We play games, but only mind games. We only play games when we finally get to our goal - retire soon, get financially free as quickly as possible so we could play our wildest childish games. We don't get depressed -- there's no time to get depressed, we have to be productive so we could get outta the rat race ASAP. We feel the urgency of acting now, or else lose out on a myriad of opportunities which would rather help us get to our goals easily.

When at home, we go the extra mile and make use of the time to stay productive. We look for good deals (real estate / business opportunities). Check the stock news, not telenovelas.  We network to other people, offline (talking to neighbors perhaps) and online. We blog about our efforts. We share the knowledge, we share what we learn so others may also get enlightened or at least add to their understanding. We go to FB to get updates and network with like-minded people. We go to sleep when tired, but we can rest well knowing that with all the things we're doing now: we're inching closer and closer to our dreams.

Kelan ba mahihigitan ng passive income ko ang active income ko? para matutunan na sa wakas ang pagdo-DOTA.....
