Case Study: From $40K/Year Cubicle Life to $10K+ Months (Starting with a Fantasy Football Blog)
Here's a story that might sound familiar...
2004: I'm a mechanical draftsman watching my redesigns save the company thousands. My reward? A $3K raise and empty praise.
Two options sat in front of me:
Keep accepting less than I'm worth
Find a way to actually get paid for my value
I chose the second path.
The weird part? Everything changed when I started writing about my geeky fantasy football hobby in my spare time.
If you're caught between "too young to retire" and "too old for the daily grind," I think you'll find what happened next interesting.
Drop your email for the full story. (It's a bit long for this page, and probably not something you want to skim during work hours.)
You’ll see, like these guys who got a lot out of my stories and advice…
“If you’re the one writing this, it’s damned good writing…very personal, (actually interesting) captivating, compelling, etc. Bravo!! I’m glad I get these - you’re giving me some ideas. I’m inspired."
“Corey has provided a lot of inspiration and encouragment for making the final step from full time employment to full time self deployment :). Better than that are the excercises he has suggested that really help clarify what it is I want to accomplish in life so that I can work through the process and discover how to best serve my overall "why" in day to day business.”
