Hi everyone I'm a 30-year-old guy from Pensacola working as a retail clerk at a store.
I've created this account over 2 years so I can finally find a way to escape my current situation.
I make around 24k a year as a clerk.
I work around 5-6 days a week and have done for the best part of the last decade.
Most of the jobs I've had during this time share one characteristic: low pay.
They also require very little concentration, brains, or even value.
Here is a few jobs I've had over the years: cashier, dishwasher, delivery guy, waiter/busser.
I got comfortable in this routine until 2018 and never thought past the next week.
I worked all the time and spend the rest of my free time escaping into movies, games and all the modern distractions.
I've tried to become a freelance copywriter by January 2019 made a whopping 500$ ..... in a year.
I spent more time consuming than creating.
I bought books, courses, and forum memberships instead of going out there and getting customers.
I sunk all my time and money into this pursuit but I failed to get any traction at it.
I gave up by the end of December 2019 since I wasn't getting any traction.
I just finished reading MJ DeMarco Millionaire Fastlane and figured I'd formally introduce myself to the forum and plan my next move.
As of now, my goal would be to make an extra 1000$ monthly.
To most of you, it's not a lot of money but I've learned first hand but it would make a difference in my life and I can see myself doing what's needed to hit such a goal.
I'm looking into mostly offline businesses right now like window cleaning, pressure washing, or even carpet cleaning ( thanks to @ice cream Kid's )
It's nice to meet you all and I hope to learn a lot from you guys
