My background

Ok, so we're one day into the challenge and I must say I'm feeling quite excited as well as a little daunted by this challenge that I've set myself. I have a tendancy to succeed at just about everything I do, and if what I'm proposing to do is possible then I can find a way to make it work.

I studied both computer science and psychology and have completed various other diplomas/certifications in modalities that are very closely linked to the psychology side of things. Included in these is NLP and Coaching. My career took me into the IT world of computer programming and I got to be quite good at what I did, but... I was working an 80 hour week in the end, and that was just Monday through to Friday, and there were times when I was on call for those '3am, leap in the car and get my proverbial butt into the office' duties because the web servers were giving error messages, and heaven help me if the boss were discover 'down-time' when he came into the office in the morning. So now I'm self employed, and have been for 3 years. AND I managed to fulfill my dream of having a child in that time. Quite an achievement, if I say so myself.

BUT, I still fit into the left hand side of the quadrant (for Employees and Self Employed), according to Robert Kiyosaki's well known "Rich Dad, Poor Dad". ...and he's right! It DOES take some time to get one's head around what's needed to move into the right hand side of the quadrant.

So now I'm going to get myself onto the right hand side of the Cashflow Quadrant (for Business Owners and Investors). Keep visiting this blog and I'll keep you posted about my journey to freedom.

It also about making it easy

There are many ways to do something and sometimes I find myself getting lost in my attempts to find the best tools for the job.  It pays off though, most of the time! :-)  That is when I'm not geting distracted by all the other goodies that I find out there on the web.  Hah!

So this post has been done through my desktop widget (on my Macbook).  Let's hope it makes posting a little easier...

The Challenge

Hi,

My name is Jane. I'm a single mum with a vision and a mission to be able to make money online so that I can be a mother, in the traditional sense of the word.

I have read so much about how to make money online both on various websites and in books that I've purchased - and I've noticed one thing - these people that sell these tips and books are making their money by, get this, selling these books and tips. Not one that I found actually had real life examples on how they took a concept, an idea, and made into something that generated an income for them.

So, my challenge to myself is to actually create a few sites that are earning money for me and my son. I give myself 3 months to do it in.

My journey will be written here in this blog. Hopefully, after 3 months, I will have some real life examples to show you. When it's done I will then do my best to share this information with other mothers who want to spend some more time on just being a mother.

Next time: some more about my background.

Hope this message finds you well and wonderfilled!
