One idea that keeps floating around in my head lately, usually as I clock in at my day job, is that I should be making things that make me money even while I sleep, rather than getting paid only when I work. This mentality didn't cross my mind when I was younger and just started working. I always believed that you only get money for spending time working. This is great if you honestly love what you do, but this isn't the case for most people. Instead, one should spend their time making something that they can sell or something that perpetuates money for them. With the iOS/AppStore ecosystem and the spirit of indie gaming/development that has spurred in the last few years, I am at the perfect position to jump into an independent work-for-myself business. All I need is the tools and skills to make it happen.
Also, this is my 50th post in this blog. Yipee! So far this year I have banked about $30 from the ads on this site. The only cost for me is the domain name, which is $10 a year, so I've already paid for 3 years of this blog. Pretty cool, eh? Until you realize that you can't cash that out until you reach $100. So, click an ad or two for me so I can cash out!
