I have heard that working people in Japan are required to sign a contract that states they can not have another job either than the one they are currently with. I'm not sure if this is true for everyone but, because of the path that I have walked I find that to be a very harsh way to cripple their employees. Here in Japan, people always start at the bottom of a company and as the years go by, they are able to slowly go higher in rank. Because it is like this with almost every company, you find that most Japanese people stay at one company for years, because if they move to another job, they will need to start back at the bottom of the employee ladder.
How did I make enough money to move half way across the world? I had more than one source of income. Yes, I am grateful to the incredible friends and family members who helped me raise funds during my move, but I would have never been able to consider making this move if I was still under the burden of DEBT. Uh! We hate that word, and even try to push it to the side so we don't have to deal with it. But I actually did it! I decided at the end of last year that I was going to get out of debt, and I held 3 jobs (or 3 sources of income) and no time, but I did it! I cracked down, and didn't eat very much food, and forgot about having a social life... and I did it!
There would have been NO way for me to actually be able to get out of debt without having other sources of income. The best job that I had was one that made money for me even when I didn't work on it. My internet business, would generate income as I slept and that's just the best thing ever. I'm telling you that that is the way to go. Now, I'm not saying that I didn't work at all on my e-commerce business. I actually worked very hard on it, but when you reach a certain point in your success, you are able to sit back for short periods of time and just watch the money come in all because of the hard work you had already put into it.
For any of you who are thinking that they don't have the time for another job but need the extra income, e-commerce the way to go. There are tons of different ways to make money online. I chose to become a Rodan+Fields Consultant and distribute clinical anti-age skincare, which people love and are benefiting greatly from. This line of income is continuing to fund my time while I am in Japan, teaching English in elementary and junior high schools.
Pursue your dreams. Work hard now and reap them benefits later.
Enjoy the Incredible Journey!
And have
something on the side.
