Love and relationships are at the core of our lives. Creating meaningful relationships is essential to our well being and happiness, yet so often, we struggle to make them happen.

Matt and I had been drinking buddies […]
While sitting in a northern Brazilian beach a year ago, it hit me for the first time that I’m truly financially free. This new freedom meant that I didn’t need to look for a job upon my return to Australia. In fact, I didn’t even have to go back to Australia. I could choose to go wherever and do whatever I want on any given day.
A year later, and both my partner and I are still enjoying this ultimate gift of complete choice. I am not rich as most people think when they meet me for the first time, but I don’t need a job to keep up with my current lifestyle. The steady passive income stream I developed before and while traveling is enough to cover both of our expenses, and more.
But first, my story.
Money. We all use it. We all care about it. We all think about it.
The lack of money in our life can spark a range of emotions, from fear to frustration, to worry. We worry whether we have enough of it, or whether we spend too much of it. When the job market is poor, for example, or when the stock market crashes, we often get mad and blame the economy, or the government, or both.
What we hardly ever do about money, however, is ask ourselves where it comes from and who controls it.
The key to Becoming Financially Free is a simple equation: monthly passive income greater than monthly expenses equals Financial Freedom. The path to freedom, however, is not a straight line and often requires navigation between different monetization strategies. In this context, a key question becomes: What is the best way to earn active and passive […]
The first step to a successful internet business remains the most critical and is often the hardest to take: picking the right niche.
When you begin thinking about how to set up a new online business you may find yourself in one of the following two scenarios:
1. It is a total vacuum in your head: you have no idea of what you want. You do not know where to start. Your thoughts are locked and frozen and you are uninspired.
2. Your head is overloaded with ideas and you cannot sort them out in order to come to a clear vision of what you want. Your thoughts are overflowing and you are drowning in an ocean of floating concepts.
This post has not been written to encourage you to do an Ironman triathlon, but rather to encourage you to believe that anything is possible if you open yourself up to seemingly outrageous possibilities. For many people, the idea of competing in an Ironman triathlon is (initially at least) impossible. An Ironman triathlon consists of […]
The online world is getting crowded with websites in almost every niche imaginable. That makes branding and standing out one of the most important elements in building a successful online business.
Through this article, I will outline, in a simple manner, how you can effectively stand out from the crowd so your business can grab online users’ attention almost immediately and not become just a drop in the vast sea of the internet.
Financial Freedom is not just about having more money. This is only half of the equation.
In addition to creating passive income, you also want to reduce your monthly expenses so you can invest the difference back in your business.
One effective way to do so is by adopting a more minimalist lifestyle, something that I’ve been doing for the last three years. In fact, this was a key factor in my financial freedom journey. Without it, I would not be able to build my passive income sources.
Content is often regarded as the lifeblood of an online business. Many entrepreneurs, however, still choose to focus the majority of their efforts on short-term marketing tactics.
This begs the question: what’s the efficacy in bringing more users to a website whose content is mediocre?
In this post I will cover 22 effective writing strategies to help you make your content truly useful and compelling.
The past 3 days I spent in the car driving from the North-Eastern part of the States, where I celebrated Christmas with my new family, to the sunny coast of South Florida. It was a long and tiring drive, but provided a good opportunity to reflect on the highlights of 2011 and to think of […]
To me, it feels like 2010 came and went so fast. I still find it hard to believe that I’m more than 8 months on the road, traveling to places I only dreamed of a year ago. Some of you know that around a year ago, both my parents had a terrible car accident, which […]
