How I Turned My Passion Into A Money Making Machine

September 8, 2021 / / 0 Comments

When I started Leavingweakness in 2015, I didn’t originally create the site as a money making business that it later became. 

I started the site as an online blog to document various things I was doing to improve my life while working a demanding job as the branch manager of a food service company. I originally used it as an online journal to reference for personal accountability. 

After making several post, I surprisingly saw a gradual influx of site traffic from people who needed the content I was creating because they too were on journeys of improving their lives. The more I wrote, the more visitors I got. 

Then, I found out that I could turn words into money…

Good things come to those who cant sit still

August 13, 2020 / / 0 Comments

I absolutely hate that old saying ‘good things come to those who wait’.

What a pathetic incentive for people to set on their ass and let their ambitions pass them by!

If I’ve learned anything over the past 5 years, it’s this. Nothing in life comes to those who wait, and good things happen to those who can’t sit still!

I have people who constantly telling me that I need to relax, I work too much, and that I stay too busy.

This does not offend me. In fact, I tell those people that they are absolutely right and I would honesty have it no other way.

You see, I know that there are two kinds of people in this world. Those who want to be taken care of and those who take care of things. I created a system of income for myself that I enjoy being immersed in. But I know that I must hustle to keep it growing because no one is going to take care of me except me.

opportyunity in every terrible situation

The Golden Opportunity In Every Terrible Situation

April 18, 2020 / / 0 Comments

There exists a golden opportunity in every terrible situation.

Most people just aren’t conditioned to see it. Likely because we’ve been taught by our society that its completely fine to accept mediocrity and think that something ‘just isn’t possible’.

But the truth is that if we want our situation to change, we have to instead ask “How can I make this possible?”

The positive opportunities reside dormant in every negative event waiting for us to utilize it. It is the universes way of balancing itself. It has been called many different things. But regardless of what you want to call it, its always there, and always will be.

This is an unusual time for humans. Many uncertainties stain our thoughts. And hope for a better tomorrow is beginning to waiver for many of our brothers and sisters. I worry that the lasting effect of this pestilence will not just be economic. I’m far more worried about the repercussions this plague will have on the mental health of Continue reading

How to rise above the middle class scam

How To Rise Out Of The Middle Class Scam

January 6, 2020 / / 0 Comments

You don’t have to look around very hard to realize that most people are barely making ends meet. We are at a point where 76% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. It is insane that this is happening in the wealthiest country in the world.

Our government runs the education system which constantly instills in us that we must go to college. College has been sold as the guarantee to greater wages for the past 60 years. However, the exorbitant cost far outweigh the benefits of the investment.  Many students have are scammed into achieving degrees which prove meaningless in real life and business.

The average student loan debt is now $37,000 and risen by a whopping 275% since 2003! One out of  four college graduates have to move back in with their parents due to hardship. A recent study showed that nearly half of all graduates are working jobs that don’t even require a degree.  Continue reading

How To Retire Young by Creating Your Own Economy

January 18, 2019 / / 1 Comment

I’ll be celebrating my 32nd birthday next month. Normally, I would have never cared but this one is different than all the others. This is the first birthday I will have celebrated in a long time as a happy and free person.

I am celebrating because I made the choice to retire from a 10 year long career that nearly destroyed who I was as a person.

Some of you may be thinking that I really got fired or just quit because I’m still considered young. However, this just wasn’t the case.

A few years ago, I realized that I didn’t want to waste my entire life working to make someone else wealthy while only getting a small amount of the money that I made for the company. Spending 10 hour days as a wage slave in hopes of retiring in my 70’s. But the problem with that is… Continue reading

Escape Hell and Reclaim Your Soul

Escape Hell and Reclaim Your Soul

July 8, 2018 / / 4 Comments

I had slowly given away so many pieces of my soul working  there. Aspirations and passions were put aside and abandoned. Time with my family was lost and entire friendships fell into obscurity.

I became a man that I didn’t even recognize anymore and I began to resent life.

I had a good job that I busted my ass at for 8 years to climb up the ladder and I had everything most people could have wanted. They paid me very well, great benefits, and even a Continue reading

Do you have an overwhelming sense of desperation when you clock in at work? Do you feel like your wasting the most precious years of your life making someone else rich, when you could be building wealth for yourself?

I got to a point where I felt like my soul sucking job was killing me from the inside out. I felt like I wasn’t fulfilling my true purpose in life and my career felt more like a prison cell most of the time.

Eventually, I turned to entrepreneurship because I Continue reading

After I read the book Rich Dad-Poor Dad, it was like a lightbulb went off in my head. I finally understood the path to creating wealth and how I could achieve financial freedom.

In that book, one of the main themes to creating wealth is investing in real estate. Now, you might not have any interest at all in real estate investing but just hear me out because it only plays a small part in the story.

Its Time To Ignore The Propaganda

August 18, 2017 / / 0 Comments

The best way to keep a society poor and docile is by keeping them distracted.

Why do news papers and television stations exist? Do you think they actually exist to give you accurate information and keep you up-to-date with what’s going on in the world? To believe that is naïve. The truth of their existence is to make money.

They influence you in a way that keeps you coming back for more. Then they convince you to waste money on their advertisers products. Continue reading
