Now is the Best Time to Make Money

12/22/2024

The internet has made it easier than ever to make money. You can do it no matter how old or experienced you are.

The Old Rules Don’t Apply

Old rules about making money are wrong. Rules like “you have to work hard” or “there’s no easy money” don’t apply anymore. The internet and AI make it possible to earn online with minimal effort.

Building Stuff is Easy

It’s easier than ever to build stuff online. AI helps a lot. You can build software, books and other creative things without a team.

Distribution is the Problem

The real problem is distribution. This means getting your products to the right people. This is where marketing comes in.

Paradigms are Blockers

Paradigms are beliefs we have without realizing it. They can stop us from achieving our goals. They can stop us from making money, being happy or being healthy.

Know Your Paradigms

To overcome your paradigms you have to know what they are. Pay attention to your thoughts every day.

Observe

Once you know your paradigms just watch them. Don’t try to change them or avoid them. Just be aware of them.

Examples of Paradigms

Here are some examples of paradigms that can stop you from making money:

“I’m not smart enough to make money online.”
“I don’t have the time to make money online.”
“I’m not lucky enough to make money online.”
“Making money online is too risky.”

Overcoming Your Paradigms

Once you’re aware of your paradigms you can start to challenge them. Ask yourself if they’re really true. Are you really not smart enough to make money online? Do you really not have the time?

Go

Just do it. Don’t let your paradigms stop you. Start building now.

Now is the best time.

My Random Thoughts

Resilience Isn't About Never Giving Up

Resilience has become a buzzword that celebrates "never giving up," but this definition keeps us stuck in the wrong battles. Real resilience isn't about grinding through failing strategies for years—it's about moving forward no matter what happens. Your project failed? Move to the next one. Your biggest customer left? Find the next ten. Strategic quitting isn't weakness; it's the underrated skill that separates people who succeed from people who just burn out. The difference between swimming against currents and surfing waves is knowing when to let go and when to push forward.

Life Events: Your Reaction Shapes Their Impact

Good things create positive momentum. People get over excited and lose focus during good times. Keep your normal habits during good times. The CEO of Microsoft, Satya Nadella, kept the same work ethic and decision making process during Microsoft’s record breaking quarters and tough times.

45 and Reflections: Work, Growth, Wisdom

I started my journey in late middle school where I began building virtual brands and selling computer hardware. PC2000, my custom PC brand was my first entrepreneurial venture. The internet in 1997 opened up new opportunities with ticaretmerkezi.com, a corporate directory website that became a money maker.
