Happy Memorial Day weekend everyone!  I’m trying to take some time off myself, but  even when I’m working I have an absolutely gorgeous office – in my home, overlooking the mountains.  And you might notice, it comes complete with a cat – actually there are three of them who love to run around overhead on the ledges.

I’ll post a few more pics in the coming days, but as you can see hubby and I really do work side by side; what you see here is half the office.  The other half has nice comfy furniture in it that I can sit in with my laptop and and enjoy the mountain breezes, and the ever changing vistas that the mountains present.   You wouldn’t think that they’d change, but they do.

At 3500′ where I live, the mountain tops can peek out over the clouds, and the sun lights up the mountain peaks while down in the valley it’s raining.   The mountain directly across from me is 6,000′ – and it’s just amazing to watch.  True, I get distracted from time to time, but I never had it this great when I worked in an office.  There I had a cubicle, with no view to the outside all day long – what a drag it was.

I’m sharing this with you today so that you can see that it really is possible to make a full time living online; I quit my job almost 9 months to the day from the day I first started working online.   Was it hard?  Sure it was – you have to put some time in to learn the ropes, and you have to follow the steps to make yourself succeed.  There’s no such thing as toss up a website or blog and run in and quit your job – you have to work to succeed.

Is my income all passive income?  No, it isn’t.  I have income now from many sources, some passive, some not passive at all.  That’s why I build blogs for you guys – because I love to build them and give you a little bit of a leg up.  And I keep learning – every day I bet I learn something new.

So keep learning, keep applying what you’ve learned, and you can make it too!
