Now is the Best Time to Make Money

Now is the Best Time to Make Money

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

Freedom Comes From Having Options

Freedom Comes From Having Options

Sitting in my new home in London, I reflect on how long it took to get here—and why that delay mattered. This post is about the power of having options in life, why mastery alone isn’t enough, and how real freedom comes from building your next move before you need it.

Stop Worrying About What Other People Think

Stop Worrying About What Other People Think

We should all aspire to be good people. But we shouldn’t waste our time trying to prove it to others. As Paulo Coelho says, “Be a good person, but don’t waste your time trying to prove it.”

Timing and Balance Always Win

Timing and Balance Always Win

As the seasons shift in Bodrum, I’m reminded that nothing works without the right timing and balance. When those two are in place, life moves with ease—without force, without burnout. In this piece, I reflect on the natural rhythm of change and why knowing when to move on is just as important as showing up.
