Welcome to SlugMoney!

Calling all lazy wannabe millionaires! Welcome to SlugMoney. Here I will share my experiences in my quest to becoming rich by doing the least amount of work possible. Join me as I explore the hype of making easy money as I jump into the world of real estate, online business, and network marketing. Can an average guy like me actually use some of the overly promoted methods on the internet to make real money? We will see, but I sure hope so.

A little bit about me…I am currently 31 years old. Married (no kids yet which is why I have some extra time on my hands). I work full-time as a middle school teacher but have always made a little money here and there trying new things on the side. I have decided to make 2008 my year of new business and investments. My goal is to build up a few small businesses that will give my wife and I enough cash flow to replace my wife’s income if she ever decides to quit her J.O.B. when the babies start popping out. My goal is also to limit the amount of time I have to personally invest in order to keep the money rolling in. I want to build these automated streams of income that I keep hearing about!

I am going to make an attempt at becoming a mini Robert Kiyosaki. I agree with Kiyosaki’s whole Rich Dad, Poor Dad philosophy of making your money work harder for you, not you working harder for your money. Own a business, don’t work in one.

I also love The 4-Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss. I will be following his guidance and trying to make my own little online ATM machine by finding a niche product to sell online. I have actually already made my first attempt at this and will have all the details for you soon. I have a goal of 5 - 10 products this year using his methods. One of them has got to hit, right?

Let’s see, what else??? Oh yeah. I am also really going to try to take a shot at the real estate game this year. I am going to try to both wholesale houses and keep some to lease option. I have spent a lot of time and money educating myself on many real estate methods and these are the methods which I feel are right for me. I will also be reviewing many of the books, eBooks and courses I have read. I will summarize the info the best that I can to give you the nuts and bolts of various “guru’s techniques”.

So this is the direction I am headed. I dream of working hard in 2008 so that in 2009 and beyond I will be raking in the SlugMoney! I hope that on this journey I can make you either laugh at my pathetic attempts or motivate you to start something successful…keeping the maximum effort to a minimum, of course.
