Everyone Has a Dream of What They Want Their Life to be Like

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a teacher and a writer.

I don’t remember why I wanted to be a teacher, but I do remember that there were times I thought about being one.

Now as for being a writer I remember that class time journaling in school was one of my favorite times. At least in elementary school. The stories I made up in my notebook we’re long and went on for pages.

Then in middle school, I developed a love for math. I began to get straight A’s and B’s for the rest of my education. At least in math, I did. Even when I went to college in my 30’s it was for accounting.

By then, my dream was to work in an accounting office. The problem with that was that yes, I had a degree but I didn’t have 2 or more years of experience in an accounting office.

But I have decided that I am ok with that. I have since realized that although I love math and accounting, this is not my ultimate dream in life.

My ultimate dream, my one true passion in life, is my writing. Sometimes I am inspired to write a poem. And sometimes I find a cool writing prompt that inspires me to write a short story. Then there are all these nonfiction book ideas I have swimming around in my head that I want to write.

So what have I done about that? So far I wrote and published on Amazon, 3 books:

Financial Management 101

This is a book about budgeting and managing your money and getting out of debt.

35 easy healthy delicious smoothies to lose weight

This book teaches you how to make smoothies and describes the different types. It also tells how to incorporate them into your diet, and what equipment you need to make them. It also includes 35 recipes to get you started.

Be an entrepreneur

Are you tired of working to make someone else rich while you are still barely getting by? Have you ever wanted to start your own business, to be your boss? If you do but don’t know where to start or how to do it then this is the book for you. In it, I will talk about different businesses that you could choose from. You’ll find out what scams to stay away from. The pros and cons of starting your business. How to set up your own home office and a lot more.

Then I have 2 more books that I have been working on.

One on email marketing

I have started the 2nd draft

One of writing fiction books.

I have all the research completed and am about to start the 1st draft.

Then in the middle of October, I discovered medium. I downloaded the app on my phone, became a paying member, then signed up for the paid partners program.

So far I wrote and published 61 articles and have another 14 planned out and started. This does not count this one, and one written and planned for publication on February 1st, 2020.

This is my dream, my one true passion. I want to be a full-time successful writer. I want to get to the point where I can quit my full-time job and stay home to write full time.

I want to be able to make more than enough money to pay the bills and spend the rest of my life doing what I love doing.

Eventually, I want to have the following income streams bringing

in money every month.

My books on Amazon

My articles on medium

My articles on Vocal

Email Marketing w/affiliates

Email courses that I create

A membership community on Patreon.

A travel blog on Substack.

These are my goals, these are my dreams. My family doesn’t take me seriously about these dreams. They don’t think I should waste my time. They have no faith in me when it comes to making a career in writing.

My dad retired from a kitchen cabinet factory. He has said all my life that

The only real job is a factory job.

I was never good at factory work. I always believed in the saying

Work smarter, not harder!

This is not to say I am lazy and don’t want to work. I want to be able to do what I love and make a good living with it.

I hope that by my 46th birthday I will have quit my day job and am a full-time writer. That gives me a year and a half to do this. I know that I can do it if I keep working at it.

To all you who have a similar dream, I believe in you. I know you can do it if you fight and work hard enough at it. Never give up and write every day.

So now I say:
