About the Author

My name is Benedict. I am a full time 9-to-5 employee.

My goal is to share my lessons from investing in the markets and building a lifestyle business.

What Got Me Started

In September 2019, I left my first job without securing another role. The role required working till midnight almost everyday, which took a toll on both my mental and physical health. In my head, I constantly questioned what I was doing this for.

I had saved up quite a bit from 3 years of work. My initial intention was to take a career break for a few months, just to travel and explore the world.

Little did I expect that in Feb 2020, a once-in-a-century virus that is Covid broke out. People working in certain industries were made redundant. I remain unemployed for an entire year until Oct 2021, where I managed to secure a new job.

This experience made me realise how important it is to have an independent source of income.

Don’t expect employers to take care of your financial well-being. Their bottom line always comes first.

Since then, it’s been a journey of trial and error in making money outside of my day job.

My big goal for 2023 is to make $10k in side income annually. If you are keen to make some side income, join me and learn from my mistakes and failures (so you can avoid them).
