I grew up in rural Scotland and i was surrounded by the natural world. Never ending scenes of bright green hills and blue and grey sky’s filled my mind and heart. I never tired of running up and down the fields(Or Bogs in Scotland), I used to think if i ran faster, i could avoid sinking into the abyss of mud. And the sunset’s and clear night skies were just amazing, i used to spend hours watching them, just being in aww to it all.
Since i moved on from the country, i have taken on more and more of a busy life and the time I used to spend outside has decreased dramatically and so has my sense of fun(for that matter).
When i was younger, I was never any good at school, I don’t know if it was because of bad teaching or if it was just me. I always had a hard time relating to people, personally, i have always learned better on my own. Self study and learning how to do things for myself has been a driving force in my life and it’s something i take very seriously. For independence is my key to true happiness! And that’s what drives me to an online business, basically, I can’t work for people. I can’t tolerate conformity or being under minded for a job that really means nothing to me. But i love working for myself and i love working for other people, i have always wanted to learn and teach something, in an interesting and fun way. See, that’s something i learned from school, learning could be fun, if you make it fun. And in my search for financial independence, i learned that you could make money from Youtube and Facebook. Which to me, was utterly amazing. You could make money for, essentially, being yourself and offering something of value to people.
I watched Reyes The Entrepreneur on his Youtube Channel and was just blown away by how much he made with his videos. And then, i watched Lester Diaz, and he explained how much he made from Facebook and his Blog, and there, again, the results were just incredible. It inspired me, it motivated me, it told me “Hey, you don’t need to keep selling yourself short, you don’t have to just struggle to pay the bills with a job that doesn’t satisfy you or in which, you could just as easily be replaced the next day if you disappeared tomorrow . But you’ve got a chance and you should go for it!” And that i did, but, i am not the most confident of fellows and at the time i was juggling relationship and job issues and i just didn’t have the spirit i needed to carry out my passion with focus.
Now, it has been 7 months since then and a lot has changed. My confidence and my life is restored to normal and i feel as though i can take on my next challenges with far better ease. So, here I am writing to you, my first blog and i’m telling you that my Youtube channel has started to take off, I have a Facebook page with lot’s of followers and i’m oh so close to freedom. The next few months will, undoubtedly be difficult, but with just enough self-motivation and support from my loved ones. Financial freedom is well within my grasp and i can finally take my partner out for her long awaited night out! And if you made it this far into the story then, thanks, I really can’t tell you how much i appreciate it.
Have a kick ass day!
