What If You Could Disappear for 30 Days?

Whenever you wanted. And still get PAID! Because that's the dream right? Our bank accounts filling up consistently and automatically without having to “work” for it?

Aug 05, 2023

I’m back! Just spent 1 month off-grid traveling across Australia.

And man oh man… it really drilled home how much I want this. The freedom to just got do whatever I want, whenever I want.

Now… there’s a ton of stories I could share with you from the trip…

Like how our car blew up after only 3 days on the road and we almost had to go home...

Or that my dumb ass stuck my head out the window at 115km/hr and lost my glasses…

But those are a bit off topic for this newsletter.

You know what’s relevant though?

That I disappeared for 30 days and still had $2,130.93 hit my bank account.

Without logging into anything, or clicking any buttons.

No zoom calls.

No job. No business. Nada.

And why that same amount will continue to roll in every Quarter.

FOREVER.

Now… is $2,000 every 3 months enough money to live on?

Hell no! Not in this economy.

Maybe you could get by with that in some countries. But not me or anyone else that I know…

I’ll tell you what though,

If you were sitting on a quiet little beach called Punsand Bay at the very top of Australia - sipping cocktails - and checking your emails for the first time in 8 days…

Then wouldn’t ya be pretty ecstatic to see payment notification like that?

Especially if you knew that there was absolutely 0 strings attached to it?

Legitimately ZERO delivery!

No making sure products get shipped to customers…

No going on coaching calls or mentoring people…

No media buying for someone else’s business…

No promises or obligations of any kind.

No boss!

That’s the dream, right? The thing that everyone wants? But very few get?

Our bank accounts filling up consistently and automatically without having to “work” for it?

But Is It Even Possible?

An exact quote from someone’s email response to me the other week was:

“Unless you are a part of the Illuminati, It's hard to believe a lifestyle like that is attainable.”

And I get it. I really do.

Most of you have probably read books like The 4 Hour Work Week.

And seen countless Gurus talking about Passive Income.

Maybe even tried a lot of the same things that have in order to achieve it!

But if there’s anything I’ve learned over my entire online career, it’s that:

MOST “passive income” is NOT truly 100% free and clear passive.

It usually still comes with some sort of continued OBLIGATION attached.

And peeps like you and me?

We don’t need no obligation!

(Yes I totally just typed that out to the tune of “Pink Floyd - We Don’t Need No Education”)

Anyway…

Up until lately, the closest thing to TRUE 100% Obligation-Free Passive Income that I had found.

Was receiving dividends from investments.

So that’s exactly what I did - I shoveled all the profits from my various businesses over the years into Index Funds.

And built my portfolio up enough that the payouts started to become noticeable.

(yup you guessed it, that’s where that $2000 comes from)

Payments like those… are what I like to call Freedom-Checks.

Money that comes in as a result of you doing fuck all.

And when you have enough Freedom-Checks coming in to cover your expenses…

Well, my friend... you’re free to do as you please!

BUT just like most things in life, there’s still a catch.

In this case… it’s that it takes money to make money.

AND that stockpiling a large enough sum often takes a hell of a lot of hard work and sacrifice. Especially if you’re trying to do it quickly.

For most people it takes 30+ years.

For me it’s been 10 so far (and counting).

So even though those little dividend Freedom-Checks hit different…

Working so hard to get there can cause us to burn out and miss out on some of the best years of our lives in the process!

Ask me how I know 😅

Now with that said…

What If We Could Create Our Own Freedom-Checks? And Sooner?

(Without Joining The Illuminati?)

I want you to consider that the whole concept of being paid out dividends on our money…

Can be replicated.

And applied to other things in life.

Like I mentioned in the Spotting Asymmetrical Opportunities Case Study last month…

You and I both have the power to CREATE our own Money Printing Machines.

Things that generate the same sort of results that you get from Index Fund Investing…

But WITHOUT slaving away to save up a large sum of money!

We can receive dividends on our smarts. Not our time. Or our moneys.

Which in my opinion is truly the definition of working smarter, not harder.

And I’m super excited to start creating some of these now that I’m back home.

In order to succeed at this though…

We’ll need get our thinkin’ caps on.

And be willing to throw most of what we know about money and business out the window.

I ain’t saying it’s going to be easy.

But once you realize how simple everything was this whole time… you’ll probably want to cry.

Seriously, lol. I did.

In fact…

After talking with a few people that are crushing it with this sort of stuff.

And seeing the pure simplicity behind what they’re doing…

I definitely shed a tear or two.

A mix of sadness for all that time spent over complicating things. And of pure excitement for what’s to come!

Might be able to interview one of those peeps down the line or something?

Dunno.

Depends if any of this is even making sense to you guys?

If you have a second, then let me know…
