Summary: I had life all figured out when I was a kid. My plan was pretty straightforward: I was going to become a billionaire and famous after I graduated college. Then, I was going to give back to Africa. A layup, right? Well, so I thought. You see, when you’re a kid, everything seems possible. You dream about discovering your abilities to control others with your superhuman brain, and you spend hours staring at a coin trying to make it float in the air. Everyone around you says you can accomplish everything you put your mind to, and you believe them. As adults, we’ve got used to the idea that we don’t have any telekinetic abilities, but we still dream about becoming rich. I mean, look at me! I’m all grown up, and my plan of becoming a billionaire is as high as ever. Of course, my chances of winning the lottery are pretty slim, so I’ve broken down this goal into small actionable steps. Phase one: make $100,000 a year in my 20s. I have made over $100,000 a year the last three years. My career projection went something like this. My first full-time job after graduate school, I made $85,000. My second job, I made $98,000. The next year I made $130,000. Last year I made $165,000. If we are to include my side hustle income, then I made over $200,000. Three months into 2017, and I’ve already made $245,000 this year alone. After making over six-figures the last three years, and still only 28 years old, it’s safe to say I have accomplished the first phase of my goal. As a result, I want to teach you how you can get there too. But, keep in mind: the journey to making $100,000 a year is not easy. You need a strong work ethic and a lot of perseverance. Probably 99% of the people reading this don’t have what it takes to make it to the finish line. Or maybe they will, who knows? It’s all up to you in the end. Now, grab a tasty beverage, get comfortable in your chair, and let’s see how you can make $100,000 a year in your 20s. ______________________________________ TABLE OF CONTENTS: 01:12 - WHY DO YOU WANT TO MAKE 6 FIGURES? 03:21 - STEP 1: FIND A JOB, ANY JOB 07:39 - STEP 2: FIND THE DIVISION IN YOU COMPANY THAT PAY THE MOST 16:38 - STEP 3: SEARCH FOR WORK WHEN YOU ALREADY HAVE A JOB 26:15 - STEP 4: DECREASE YOUR TACABLE INCOME 29:40 - STEP 5: AUTOMATE YOUR EXPENSE LOGGING 32:02 - STEP 6: DECREASE YOUR LARGEST EXPENSES 33:32 - STEP 7: IN VEST IN YOURSELF AND TAKE RISKS 35:55 - STEP 8: USE YOUR SIDE BUSINESS TO BRAND YOURSELF AS AN EXPERT 41:50 - STEP 9: LEVERAGE ______________________________________ Website: http://ianbalina.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/diaryofamademan/ Snapchat: https://www.snapchat.com/add/diaryofamademan Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ianbalina/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/diaryofamademan
