Easy as pie.

It still astounds me how people will remain tied to jobs they hate just so that they won’t lose their insurance. It’s a sick system.

health insurance. I earn more money doing side work than I do at my full-time job. I took a project last week that will gross more than I gross in a month at my job. But, health insurance. And with a baby on the way, I’m even more trapped than I was before.

The course is teached by Seitii Arata, and one of the lessons it’s to make a list with your passions, talents, skills to help you to figure out the best skills, improve them and apply them in a side job and maybe after turn it into a full time job, (as you do did with your ability to write). This post remembered me of that activity, and I think the tactics you wrote are perfectly reasonable with that activity. It helped me a lot.
Great post Trent.
Best regards,
David

Aside- is there a difference between gaming and playing games? What is the distinction?

Not everyone has the entrepreneurial mindset – some people actually like having someone else be the boss, with all the responsibility being in charge brings with it.
