I grew up in the 90s and back then it seemed like there were only a handful of ways to become rich:
- Win the lottery (we all know how that turns out)
- Become a professional athlete (my NBA dreams didn’t quite work out)
- Get a really good career (the general perception of rich was different back then)
- Become an actor (wouldn’t touch that field with a 1000 ft pole)
- Take over the family business (and have eminent domain force the sale a couple decades later)
That’s at least my experience from what I can remember off the cuff.
But these days?
You have people making insane amounts from doing literally anything:
- Uploading funny commentary on reddit posts to YouTube
- Dancing terribly on TikTok and acquiring massive brand deals (??)
- Playing chess online and posting about it
- Teaching people how to be a better basketball coach
- Becoming a high level newsletter publisher
We really do live in the “you can just do things” era.
Of course, I’m not promising anyone can become world famous just by posting stuff online, but there’s never been an easier time to build something that allows you to live the life you want.

This is why I’m doubling down on digital products…
And helping people start their own info businesses.
You can get paid to talk about a topic you like, and the more people you help, the more you can make.
And the start up costs aren’t hundreds of thousands to millions…
You can pay less than $100 a month for tools that support a multiple 6 figure business, and much less than that to get started.
It’s actually kinda crazy when you think about it…
But these are the times we live in.
The question is…
Do you want to get your own digital product biz up and running?
