The Hustle

The cycle:

• Envision the ideal structure of my life

  • Work when I want, as much or little as I want

  • Minimalist, small house, grow some of my own food

  • Meditate, learn, socialise, laugh, listen to music, create

  • Exercise

  • Variety in each day

  • Freedom

• What do I need?

  • Money, passive income

• How do I get it?

  • Start a company

  • Release a hit game

  • Invest and be smart with my money

• Pitfalls

  • I can't actually bring myself to start a company that doesn't help people and that I'm not passionate about

  • If I focus too much on this type of success, then I will be moving further away from my ideal

• So, seems like the only way is what I'm doing right?

  • Work for someone else

  • Make fulfilling side projects with the hope that eventually one of them can lead me to being financially independent

• The problem is, this leaves me very time-poor

  • Constantly stressing that I could be doing more

  • Hard to relax and turn off with friends and loved ones

• Current plan is to save enough money to coast for a few years and give myself a real run at doing what I want full-time
