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.

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

10 Pillars Of Wealth Review

October 7, 2016 / / 0 Comments

The 10 Pillars Of Wealth is a very well written and easily read book for anyone looking to become successful.  I firmly believe that a good book easily hold your attention. If a book is a good read, i can usually knock it out in just a few days. I finished it in four days because it provided solid information and was very entertaining. Alex Becker explains in-depth concepts on accumulating wealth in ways anybody can relate to.

Some of the examples he uses to teach are a little on the extreme side. Some of his stories that he uses as examples are downright hilarious. Either way, he does a fantastic job of relating these concepts through his examples. Somehow, he rides the line between pure genius and a perverted cartoon character.  The thing that I like the most about Becker’s writing is his blatant honesty. He tells you exactly why most people don’t succeed and that there’s a chance you will not succeed either. Unless, you understand and implement the pillars that he discusses into your daily life.

The best description that I could give this book, is to call it a modern version of  Think and Grow Rich.
