10 sure ways to make money without a job

Welcome once again to this blog. In my last blog i looked briefly at one sure way to make money without a job and that was by becoming an expert at something and learning how to sell it.
This is the starting point if you are to make money with little investment. You cannot make money from something you are not an expert at. In any area of business the pareto optimality principle applies. 20% of investors in a given field make 80% of the money in that investment field. These 20% that make the 80% revenue in that field are the experts. So what are you waiting for!

1) The first thing you have to do in order to become an expert is to invest money and time in that field. What is your passion? If this is the area where your passion is then results will manifest faster. You can accelerate this process faster if you get a coach who will teach you what he learnt without the mistakes he made. Learn how to say daily positive affirmations. Affirmations like "I am so smart in everything i do",I learn new things with ease", "I am happy money comes to me in increasing amounts through multiple sources of income". You can make some of your own but in my case i read affirmations from an ebook called "Today is my day to win" by Mike Brescia. You can check out his website and add your email on his daily mailing lists.

This is what helped me energise myself. Everytime i felt weak, i sat down and loudly went though the affirmations i had written down and this did miracles for me.
Procrastination became a thing of the past and difficult tasks started looking so easy. That is when i started realising that any big task is made up of many small tasks. Every big journey begins with one step, according to a famous chinese proverb.
I learnt that the first thing always is to start with one step of faith without worrying about the "How". In proverbs there is a verse that says this very well, "Do not wait for the perfect conditions to start on your project"
