[HELP] Indentured time=No, action=Yes

[Polarbeans]

I just got out of the office, which is where I work (for someone else). Today I've been at the office 11,5 hours plus I commute 1 hour to the office and 1 hour back. Total Indentured time today is 13,5 hours + 1 hour lunch+ 0,5 hour getting ready in the morning=15 hours give or take.

I feel like life is sucked out of me... I work hard at my office and I never complain, I choose to work there so if I do not like it, I can just quit.

But this is still harder done than said. I'm a little more than 2/3rd through TMF which really has cured me in many ways. Before I hated to commute but now I actually don't think it's so bad. I do all my reading on the train back and forth and then I can implement action when I get home for a few hours before I go to sleep.


Still, a lot of time is put into Indentured time. I can't find myself in this position, even though I only have done about 6 months since I graduated college (go Denver pioneers!) I hate to work like this. I will to do something about it.

I have no mortgage or debt at all. I got some cash stashed away in stocks, mutual funds and some other BS.

I literally have nothing to lose. But there is a thing here: I just started to learn about business online, marketing online and so forth which means I have little to no experience in many fields regarding business.

I've read a lot of books on entrepreneurship (lean startup, choose yourself etc..), took a few courses in college, and soon read through TMF (love it, live it!).

I say this: I will not last in trading 5 days for 2 days much longer.

I'm thinking to myself to start off with what Jim Rohn said: Start part-time. I know this is not the best idea to do but I still feel that I want to start by executing on all the things I've read about so far.

So my short term goal (very short) is to start doing business as soon as I've finished TMF which will be in about 3 days or so. I will then be ready to deliver my first value to people.

I want to really learn online marketing and understand it better in practice so I'm thinking the following to start with:

1. A Niche site
2. Write an ebook series
3. Start a membership site
4. Start writing an app for iPhone or a website
5. Create an online course


1. I've read like 100 guides on how to do this, I devoured Backlinkos all guides, listened to all (yes every single one from start to finish, during work time 😀) podcasts from Pat Flynn and Mixergy. So I have a little understanding I think about where to get off here.

2. I love writing, and I constantly come up with topics that I write down in Evernote. I would probably start by putting them on Amazon but could also consider putting the first for free and the others behind a paywall. I don't have much knowledge about the whole payment system here really.

3. A little like 2. and to me this would be more like creating a ton of free content like on a blog and then have a membership site to gain access to more in-depth and more important knowhow. This might be a little bit too much to start with, I don't know. Same as before, membership sites is not something I know a lot about yet. I love the idea and will definitely learn more about it.

4. I know how to code HTML, CSS and some very basic JS. I can read but not write Jquery and PHP, kind of. I have written an app before with Xcode but nothing fancy. Wrote it to a previous business (physical) I had. When I gave away the business I also took down the app. I would probably use my more creative side and somewhat wild fantasy and use that C-objective knowledge I have to write a good tech-spec instead and send it off to oDesk or similar.

5. I just recently started to learn more about this. I got a pretty good mic to use for voiceover and I got no limitations or fears about talking or hearing my own voice. Biggest issue here is to WHAT the course would be about and I would in this case really want to create something that has that premium feeling to it.


I'm not native in english so please forgive my bad grammar and punctuation!


I love this forum, and I think you guys rock and wish you all the best in your ventures!
