It has taken me over 10 years, but I have finally completed part of my lifestyle design quest- namely, achieving digital independence via blogging.
I’ve built my websites to the point where they provide a comfortable and regular income stream such that I felt safe to make the leap into blogging as my full-time job.
It has been nearly a year since I made that decision to go full-time on the sites, and while I’m quite happy with that decision I’ve found out an ugly truth: I’ve monetized my life, and now everything is work.
De-programming myself has been one of the hardest parts of making the leap.
