Today, I want to dive into my Medium writing journey, documenting the highs, the lows, and the valuable lessons I've learned along the way.

This isn't just about sharing success stories. It's about acknowledging the risks, putting in the work, and understanding that results come from personal effort.

I've been inspired by friends who've found success on Medium, but I'm not here to ride on their coattails. No, I'm challenging myself to make a penny before I make another video about Medium. It's a kick in the pants, a reminder that success requires effort.

Now, let's talk about the rewards I'm gunning for. Sure, making money is fantastic, but my primary goal is to become a better writer. I'm gearing up to write my next book, and I need that momentum. What's great about Medium is the connections I'm making and the absence of an income cap. The more I write, the better I get paid—simple and beautiful.

Of course, there are risks and challenges. I haven't made a dime on Medium yet, and that's a risk I'm willing to take. Time is an investment, and yes, it's a risk. Income streams often require us to invest time before reaping the rewards. Then there's the brainpower for creativity—putting in the time to nurture that creative spark.

It's a bit embarrassing, I'll admit, sharing advice on building passive income streams while still figuring out one myself. But here's the truth—I'm committed to doing more. I'm following others on Medium, learning from them, and gearing up to invest more time, creativity, and effort.

So, join me on this journey. Let's navigate the world of Medium together, balancing risk and reward, and striving for those passive income streams we all dream about.
