Extra Income Fun

Caution! This article will take you 4 minutes to read. If you haven’t the patience to read to the end, the easy extra income tip that follows will be wasted on you. Stop reading now.

Shortcuts. Secret passages. Cutting the line.

Disney, bless their child-loving greedy heart, understands the human need for speed and supremacy.

Pay an extra fee for their “MaxPass” and you can avoid long waits and go right to the front of the ride line. Why stand in the hot, blazing sun waiting 90 minutes in long lines with the sweaty masses and crying kids when you can just go to the front of the line for just a little bit more money?

It’s a bonus that you can thumb your nose at the “stupid people” who weren’t smart enough or couldn’t afford the privilege you now have. Superiority is a heady rush that comes free with the extra cash paid out.

“Not fair!” we say when others get to use “get-ahead-faster” methods while we have to plod along slowly.

We all want everything faster. Patience is a rare commodity and getting more rare each day they say from our addiction to smartphones and the instant gratification they provide.

Craftsmen would spend two hundred years building the cathedrals we marvel at now. They had patience. And no smartphones to distract them.

Modern man hates the thought of even taking 6 months to learn a new skill. We want to do it now, and well.

“What? We have to suck at it first?”

We get frustrated easily and live on the verge of quitting. We hate the part where we have to suck at something new before we can get better at it.

We really hate to suck! It’s the biggest reason we hesitate to even try something new.

Want to learn to play the piano or guitar?

“It will take HOW LONG? F#ck that!”

We’d rather be great at not sucking (staying right where we are, but unhappy) than to fumble and “look foolish” learning something new.

It’s sad. I fear for this generation growing up with smartphones and no patience.

In his excellent book, “Seven Years to Seven Figures”, author Michael Masterson lists “learn a financially valuable skill” as the first tenant to building your wealth.

Learn a skill you can use to help someone, who will in return give you their money. Use this new skill to be self-employed or sell this skill to get a job from an employer.

It doesn’t get any more basic.

Whether your skill is serving burgers at McDonald’s, wiping butts at Walter Reed or designing new batteries for Tesla, everyone starts the same. Learn a new skill.

Some have no patience, take the shortcut, and go straight to the simplest paper hat jobs. Others have the patience and drive to take the long road and win the biggest cash prizes in the end.

I got lucky. In my case, the shortcut also led to the big prize. A skill that is in constant demand, allows me to create my own reality and help others create theirs too. In short, I learned a financially valuable skill that lets me use it for fun myself AND also sell that skill to others.

Very little physical exertion is required so I can theoretically do it until I’m 110 years old.

Here are 7 different ways, off the top of my head, that I use this skill to earn money:

1. Help others edit their photographs
2. Restore old damaged photo memories for others
3. Create fantastic art to sell
4. Sell a huge variety of seemingly ordinary images that others can use
5. Create advertising for others
6. Create books for others
7. Teach my skill to others

No boss! No clock to punch! No boredom!

I work for myself.

But I don’t think of it as work at all. It’s art. It’s creation. It’s fixing things, making things better.

That’s all the things I love to do!

Well, not all the things I love to do, but The Elder won’t let me mention (ahem) the other things!

Even if I never made a nickel off this one skill I learned, which incidently took me less than 6 months to get really good at, I’d still consider it the most enjoyable, useful skill I ever learned.

If you like to take photos, if you’d like to create great art-but your traitor hands are all thumbs, if you’d like to learn a skill that can ensure you have income for life, take a look at learning the skill that I learned here:

PS INSTANT EXPERT

These guys offer a simple training that’s second to none. It’s a shortcut, a secret passage, a way to quickly learn an income producing skill that others struggle with. A quick training and you go straight to the head of the line. No waiting.

If you’re looking for a new, fun way to amaze yourself and your friends, plus make a few bucks simultaneously, this is the real deal. And I should know! This training helped me write the book on it, Photoshop Tip Cards.

But, maybe having this skill will not be your cup of tea.
(Elder originally dragged his feet on this too, but luckily I got him to come ’round)

Ask yourself though, if not this…

What WILL you do then to improve your happiness and/or your income?

“Bene Vivere!”
