The best way to come out from the rat race is by funding your dream.

If you today don’t fund your dream trust me, you will going to devote your whole life to fund someone else dream.

Currently, I am doing it, but why?

How to Start Living Your Dream Life Right Now

Actually, I don’t like to be controlled by someone, I want to live with freedom, I want to make my decision and I want to live my life in my way.

I have only my college time if I am not able to fund my dream I also going to enter the rat race.

After completing college I know a very big responsibility of family going to come on my shoulders.

I need to work as hard as possible so that before completing college it is necessary for me to work for my dream.

What I found about myself is I can work for myself 10–12 hours without a headache but I can’t work for other 10–12 hours.

“Be brave, fight for what you believe in and make your dreams a reality.”

You also need to fund your dream because if you have responsibility on your shoulders then you can’t take direct risk.

How can I FUND my DREAM?

1. Choose a CRAFT for which Market can Pay

I give you a list of 10 skills but I give you my example I chose content writing because I did this before so I chose content writing.

Without the investment of a single dollar, these 10 skills:

  1. Content writing
  2. Social media manager
  3. Linkedin ghostwriter
  4. Meme agency for startups
  5. Copywriting
  6. Video editing
  7. Graphic Designing
  8. Web development
  9. Content creation
  10. Prompt engineer(this takes some time)

If you have enough knowledge about your skill then create a portfolio I recommend starting work for free to get testimonials after that start reaching out to other people to get paid.

2. Don’t Keep SHOULDER on it

After learning these skills you need to think from a long-term perspective because in 1 year you can easily earn $10,000 dollar and in 5 years you can easily earn $1,000,000.

Now this is in your hands what you want to choose.

Start this as a side hustle.

Work on it for a minimum of 1 year then think about quitting your primary source of income and keep your head on your side hustle.

Don’t think this is a short-term money-making scheme, you are going to fund your dream, your dream is big so play wisely.

3. Don’t forget NETWORKING

This is the only thing that going to help you to make millions even billions of dollars, you need to understand the power of networking.

For a second just think why some people get richer and richer day by day because they have a powerful network.

What you can do is in your niche find big creators or people, mail them every Sunday, Start connecting with them on social media, and comment on their posts this will build trust.

Just think how fascinating is if you just like someone's post during your free time they will become your friend even if that person never knows you.

Leverage this.

For your Dream, you Need to Take Action from Today

4. Learn in PUBLIC

This is what I am doing and I learned this thing very late Even if you do a small work in your whole day just choose one or two platforms.

I recommend Twitter or LinkedIn, Just go and start sharing your journey with people.

Just document yourself daily, No matter how big or small work you do, you need to include people in your journey in short build your small awesome like minded community.

Because of this action people and even your future clients will start believing that you are a trustworthy person and you know your work very well and in the future, you will get a lot of inbound leads.

5. You are AWESOME, you have to Believe

Your journey is not going to be easy some days you will feel tired some days you won’t want to work but if you want to get out of the rat race you need to walk that extra mile.

You need to believe in your actions, words, and in your process.

Someday you will going to feel so demotivated and feel like quieting down but every time you need to motivate yourself to take action, You are really awesome if you do this.

“Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing that we’ll ever do.” — Brené Brown

To get through the hardest journey we need take only one step at a time, but we must keep on stepping.

Conclusion

You need some money to fund your dream, you deserve freedom, Why are you wasting your time in someone's shoes, You are not going to feel regret at the end of your life.

I know saying this is easy but trust me when you start working for yourself your life becomes easier

So you are ready to walk the extra mile so that you suffer today but your future will go to awesome.
