John closed his eyes, took a deep breath and jumped off the building!
His body started falling off a 20 story building like a bullet....
180 feet………
150 feet………
120 feet………
80 feet………
40 feet ………
10 feet………
Crashhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
What made John jump off the building?
1 years back....
John has been in a corporate world for more than a decade. He has been married for 3 years and has a son!
As a hardworking employee, he performed well and closed good deals in last few months
With help of a decent commission paycheck, he took risk and bought an apartment on loan (mortgage)
After few months, he was assigned a tough territory and unfortunately his revenue dipped
He struggled to pay his bills and loan because the commission was hard to come by
He asked for a new territory but was denied as the other reps were doing good there
6 months later, the company got acquired, new management took over and decided to do the cost cutting and change the processes!
Average performers and bottom performers were evaluated based on last 6 months achievements
John was part of that list and was asked to leave the company due to some politics (his new boss didn’t get along well with him)
His world came tumbling down as his expenses increased due to his son’s school admissions and fees, his wife had to undergo a surgery (which was not covered as he had no insurance), his parents fell sick and being the only child, he had to pay for their expenses, his bills kept increasing because of loans
He had used all his savings and was debt-ridden now!
The job market was tough as there were lots of resumes floating around from his Ex-company and no one wanted to hire such employees who were asked to leave!
His life became worst as he was unable to find a job for more than 7 months. He was in debt by 12 lakh ($20K) and the bank was foreclosing his house mortgage by selling it off!
One day, John (very depressed), ran up the stairs to the terrace of 20 story building
He stood on the wall of 20 story building and his body started shivering
He looked down and cold chills moved through his veins
The view was very scary. He could see the people at the bottom, looking like ants
He stared at the bottom for 30 seconds without blinking with his life flashing back – Loans, Job, Money, Hospital Bills, Struggle, Shame and Guilt of not being able to provide for the family!
He closed his eyes and jumped off the building!
His body in the air started falling off
180 feet………
150 feet………
120 feet………
80 feet………
40 feet ………
10 feet………
Crashhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

And then suddenly, John wakes up and realizes that it was a bad dream!
He was staring at the ceiling fan with his eyes wide open and realized that he is still working with the same company. Only a few employees were asked to leave
His current state of life returning the sense of gratitude!
He saw his wife and son sleeping next to him and he looked at them and smiled!
He thanked God and his mentor, whom he had met a couple of years ago. His mentor helped him to realize his own potential and helped him to create multiple sources of income around his passion i.e singing and music!
Today, he has built multiple sources of income from various sources like Singing Gigs, YouTube Channel, Teaching others how to play guitar, Organizing Events, Stage Shows, DJ'ing, etc.
At the age of 37, he realized, it is never too late to start working on the passion and build a business around it.
Thanks to the social media age, he built his followers and fans online while working 9-5. Parallel to his job, he built his YouTube channel, connected with influencers in the music industry and was about to release his solo album that has received great reviews from top music producers!
His life has gone on a fast lane in last 2 years and he can clearly see himself making it big soon!
He realized, he was in a slow lane for more than 35 years, living only on a single stream of income
He learned about 3 types of people:
Sidewalkers:
- People doing small odd jobs or earning small wages or salaries
- Not much income. Not a great retirement life.
- They are used to daily struggles and do not even attempt to come out of it!
Slowlaners:
- People working for a corporate, surviving in a hope to get a raise every year.
- They do get raise but the expenses equal income every year and left with low savings
- Average Income. Mostly single source of income with small investments in stocks, real estate, etc
- They save for their whole life to retire at the age of 65 and finally live a free life!
Fastlaners:
- This is the lane for inventors, business folks, high-income skilled people who impact many lives or have a major impact on few!
- Lots of money
- Multiple sources of income
- Passive Income
- Freedom to live the way they want and retire young
The question you should be asking yourself is – Is it too late to build multiple sources of income?
Realize that you are on a sidewalk or a slowlane because there is something that you haven’t figured out yet. It is time to learn and make some critical changes in your life!
Do you want to learn John’s secrets and create your own blueprint of having multiple streams of income before it is too late?
