What Do I Really want?

There many ways I could approach this…

What do I really want? In my head I can think of only one thing.

Money

The upside of having money would be so that I don’t have to worry about money first and foremost. So that the constraints that are put because of not having much money.

On of the reasons I don’t entertain a serious relationship right now is because I don’t have enough income to sustain a relationship. I will only feel secure if I am the one providing for my girl all other arrangements are ticking time bombs for me.

For now I make an amount of money that can only one person. Me.

I would have to make double this amount to sustain a relationship.

Make money doing what?

This is the real question now, for now I have a job but it is not making me the money I want, despite it allowing me to do my other things like gym, writing etc.

This doesn’t answer the question.

Interests I have now are;

  • gym / weightlifting
  • writing

How do I monetize?

I have been writing for about 14 months and this is my 8th year weight lifting now.

Or do I get another job?

Where would I work?
That means I update my cv, which I haven’t for about a year?
This also means, I go job hunting which I have never done. All the jobs I have birth each other.
This means I have to think about a field to probably specialize in.

Making money is a byproduct of learning. Naval once said

I will leave this writing without anything conclusive. Or can I be concrete about it?

Sacrifice and Save more?

Target savings of 30k per month by tightening the nuts and bolts of spending to secure money to save.

Ask for a Cut for Johari works.

Ask for stipend for Johari work.

Mashkys?

Seasonal. Push for the pending balance payments to be completed.

Online Business?

Jumia content creation. Coin flip, 2–3k income per month

Gym Client?

Have one client for a per session rate?

Basketball court?

Powerhouz Gym Page?

Langata Marketplace?

Ngei 2 Basketball Project?
