I am getting back to a place where I’m living in the moment.
This sudden shock where I felt everything on shaky ground did me well, I fell apart for a day only to realize just how strong I am now. I do shit I couldn’t have dreamed of two years and kept my life together despite all kinds of problems that would have crushed most people I know. This is one of those stories those millionaires or ultra successful people tell about how they got to where they are. I can imagine sharing this story on Joe Rogan one day.
I made an appointment with a lawyer for Wednesday. I hope and pray that my boss will sponsor my visa this year but just in case, I need to prepare for the worst. Also, regardless of whether my boss sponsors me this year, next year I will be sponsoring myself so I want to get all the information I need so next time is an easy process and I know exactly what I’m doing.
In order to prepare, I’m putting together invoices for my students and making contracts that prove they are actually paying me (I don’t know how that proves anything, but you know, society) and then I need to go to the tax office to register my freelance activities. That’s the tricky step and I need to make sure from the lawyer that I do it right.
My partner will finish her quarantine in 10 days and we’ll start living together in a tiny room. As soon as she find a part time job and I get my visa we will start looking for a new place where she can make hats and bags and do other artsy stuff and I can teach classes and record music.
We decided that we want to spend 2021 saving up money to buy a house. I’ve never heard of two freelancers/part-timers saving up money to buy a house in a year but somehow I think we can do it. We are planning on building multiple streams of income rather quickly and monetizing our art and creations better, and not in a way that forces us to do much differently, just putting it where it in the right places, making business cards, doing more collaborations etc. and then there is always crypto which I see as bonus.
I plan to take profits for the first time as soon as bitcoin seemss and to settle somewhere above the all time high. Not a whole lot, just 20%, and if I have a good chance, I’ll reinvest it during a dip.
I started up my YouTube channel again. It will be a video podcast, sometimes just me and sometimes chats with some Hive friends or other friends, sharing thoughts and also showing off cool art and projects.
Hive won’t be our main focus, but it’ll be a side focus. I feel most promotion of Hive is too pushy, I want to just have fun and give everyone a link and a mention of where else they can find me.
The channel is called Self Help for Trolls and I plan on sharing most of the stuff at Hive anyway, but subscribing, liking or commenting could help me reach more people so it’d be much appreciated. I can do the same for you. I hope to bring new people to a Hive this way and connect to even more people. 😃.
I have more to say but right before starting this paragraph I went to the public bath and soaked in super hot water, feeling a little woozy and good and just wanna lay down and be awesome in bed! ❤️
