Hi guys,
I've just finished reading The Millionaire Fastlane , and this is my first post.
I'm looking for some help with something.
I trade for a living, starting at 6:30am every weekday, and am usually done by about 8am. So most days I have most of my days free. This is ideal, because it frees up my time, but at the moment I am having to spend my trading profits on living expenses. Virtually every day I make about 0.5%-1% return on my capital, so I would really much rather reinvest my profits, because the exponential compounding on these consistent daily returns will be phenomenal! (10-20% return per month, means I could double my money about every 4-6 months). So you can see why I want to reinvest my daily profits rather than spend it.
So I am looking for a 2nd income that I can generate with all the spare time I have, so I can live off my 2nd income instead of living off my trading. I've got the time, but I'm just getting stuck with what to do!
Affiliate marketing has been one idea, and seems easiest, but MJ's book says it violates the commandments of Entry and Control. However bear in mind that I'm not looking to get rich from my 2nd income, just make enough to cover my living expenses (I know I should probably change my attitude on that, but I want to get the 2nd income sooner rather than later. Building a proper fastlane business would take time, and I want to start compounding my trading returns asap, as that is where I will make my fortune, at the rate I'm going).
So I'm just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for me(?)
I know I could train people how to trade the way I do, whether through seminars or a training package, and make pretty good money from that, but my method works so well, that for the time being, I don't want others finding out about my methodology nor want to give away my secret, in case I want to start a Hedge Fund one day. I'd at least like to make loads of money from my method first.
Can anyone suggest anything else I can do in my spare time? I don't want to work a normal job in the afternoons, because some days (about once every week or two) I need to stay home to monitor my position, and I don't think a job would be flexible enough for me.
As one idea, I was thinking of asking a bunch of business coaches if they'd like me to cold-call businesses, to look for new clients they can help/coach, in return for a lead referral fee if they ended up becoming a client, as I'd be happy to do that and it'd be win/win/win, but any other ideas out there? I'm sure there's hundreds of ideas, I just seem to be having a mental block on this.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.
