One day one of my cousins asked me, “don’t you feel boring working in 9 to 5 jobs,” I said, “Well, Yes I am, this is not my maximum, and I am going to change my career soon“

This was happened five years ago. I felt a bit of shy on myself when answering him on that day, just because of, I was questioning by a 19-year-old young boy who was earning more than me.

At that time, I was really fed up with what I was doing with the same routine in the daily office environment . I felt like, my creativity, thinking and my whole life looks stopped. I wanted a move on. But I used to say excuses to myself to stay in the comfort zone.

When I got the decision to resign from the job, nobody said any good comment. But I had the confidence and I knew It will be a good decision.

I could convince my mom that I need to do something else for my future. What she said was, “if you feel bad to continue work. Take your decision. If something gets wrong, come home. Let’s find another way.” Actually, her words motivated me to take my first step forward. My cousin’s words encouraged me for my pending decision for many years.

Believe me. It was my best decision. Every other stuff in my life was lined up very clearly and effortlessly after this change.

At present, I am doing what I am good at. I have no words to express the joyful feeling of doing what you like. But I must tell you, what I am doing now is completely different from what learnt from school.

The reason behind my story was ready to take the risk. In this digitalized world, decision making is so fast in younger generation. Earning money is not a big deal for them anymore.

Do you know why youngers are so smart than experienced people?

Only reason I can see is the “Marketing.” Marketers are pushing young people to enjoy the life, using their tactful marketing strategies. For that joy, they force youngers indirectly to buy modern stuff, to use new technology, to taste delicious foods, experience luxury items and many more things.

Social media is displaying and updating an amazing future in front of youngers’ eyes. so they keep scroll down to find that joy inside the smart phone. Not everyone fails or not everyone wins. But of cause, the media is influencing them.

Youngers know that working for 9–5 jobs are not enough to buy those stuff. So they find a short, speed and effective way to earn money. In this kind of situations, Youngers are willing to take risks with the flexible mindset. This is what adults don’t have. But sometimes less family responsibilities give them freedom to play with their own thoughts as they wish.

By today, I don’t think 1 million dollars is a difficult target for youngers through modern created opportunities. Youngers are so creative and quickly identify the various kinds of income sources by sitting in front of the smart devices with just one click.

I’m not going to list down the passive income sources to achieve your upcoming financial targets. I suggest you to find out your barriers to take risks for future decisions and seek what you are good at.

Then start to sell your skills.
