Hello there!

This thread is to keep me motivated and disciplined.

About Me:

I am in middle age. Made good money in youth. During covid went into depression and few years of unemployment. Had enough savings and assets to make me sail through ten to twenty years. However by now I am bore and have to do what I am good at.

I am a computer programmer. But all my skills are obsolete. However I have a good analytical brain.

How I am going to do it:

  1. Very short term - Earn beer money through online survey sites, sell video / images.
  2. Short Term - Offer gigs etc on freelancing sites, write kindle books.
  3. Mid Term - Sell stuff on Amazon / etsy etc
  4. Long Mid Term - Youtube channels, some subscription service, some agency offering work force
  5. Long term - Upgrade myself. Learn new skills. Learn AI programing. Offer a few handy tools for AI. Start offering AI programming services. Recruit staff. Start consulting.

Steps started today:

  1. Purchased a Java book to start learning Java.
  2. Signed up at few survey sites where I will spend a few hours to earn first buck in many years.
  3. Downloading all images from my iphone to sell on image sites.

I will keep updating this thread as and when required.
