Hello My Adventurers! 

Happy New Year 2024! It's Monday, the start of a brand-new year. Wishing everyone a fantastic year ahead! In the past year, I made some bold decisions to improve my life, and one big lesson I learned is that "Money is your Freedom ticket." If you want to break free from the usual 9 to 5 routine, you've got to make a good amount of money for financial freedom. If that's your goal for 2024, consider picking up these skills and starting a side hustle:

1. Video Editing

2. AI Prompt Engineering

3. Ghost Writing

4. Social Media Management (TikTok, LinkedIn, Twitter)

5. Learn Coding

6. Starting a YouTube Channel (with or without showing your face)

7. E-commerce products

8. Learn to build Apps

These skills can help you achieve financial freedom, or you can stick to traditional jobs and grow within the organization because there is no harm to grow within the organization, if your values align with the organization purpose.

Recently, I tried Sahil Bloom’s "The Annual Review" exercise, which really helped me look back at my year. If you're interested, you can find the exercise (link).

Personal Achievements in 2023:

I started the year with a new high-performance planner, helping me stay on track daily, weekly, and monthly. I believe the best investment is in yourself. When I ask people about the ROI of zero investment, they usually say 0. I disagree; it's (-0) because you miss out on chances to get better.

I wish you all start invest in your self development.

Love xx

Juicy Reads to Check Out 📰 

Ever wondered about the difference between visualization and manifestation?

Let me break it down from my perspective. Manifestation isn't about magically making things happen by just thinking about them – that's not my belief. If I dream of $5 million, it doesn't just fall into my lap.

Visualization, for me, is a brain rewiring process. It's about shifting your mindset, making you more open to new opportunities.

The magic isn't in wishful thinking; it's in becoming a person who actively pursues their goals. Sure, you might see new chances and reach your goals faster, but that's because you're evolving.

Now, let's be clear—I'm not saying you can skip the hard work or techniques. When people talk about manifesting, visualization plays a part, but it's a tool rooted in science. Athletes worldwide, take Michael Phelps, use it as a neurological process to enhance performance.

When we talk about brains, treat them like muscles—something we train for the victories we want.

For those who want to monetize their skill set through online courses, I recommend reading this book. By applying its insights, you can easily publish your first course and gain valuable knowledge about the online business aspects related to courses.

It's a very good, simple, and informative book with lots of amazing tools and methods.
