  Hi, welcome to Make Time Online! This is a place where you can follow my online journey into finding a way to make money online to create more time in my life. The journey will include different programs that I try out and tips or training that I find most useful.  

My Story

---

I have been living a life following "the script". I grew up in England, went to school, university and then got a job as a teacher. I bought a house and got married (obviously the best decision of my life as my wife, Sarah, is possibly the greatest human being on the planet and a big reason as to why I'm starting this!) But I've always felt like there is more to life than just waking up and going to work for someone else.  

  We were sitting in my parents living room in August 2017 when I said to Sarah, "do you fancy writing a blog with me?" I didn't realise what the impact of those few minutes on that sofa would have...  

Finding Success

---

We have always loved adventures and exploring the world, so we decided to teach internationally... We now live in Qatar, with summer all year round and South East Asia a short flight away. This has created soooo many opportunities for us in our personal lives but also in our financial lives. We now own a property investment company in the UK and have met some people who are literally "crushing it" (stealing the words of Gary V). The thing we have noticed about all of these successful people is that they are completely normal. No different to you and me. No SUPERPOWERS. Nobody comes from a family of MILLIONAIRES or can do extraordinary things. They are just ordinary people who use their TIME much better than I have ever done.

There was something else in common about these successful people we started to meet and spend time with... They all earnt passive income. To me, passive income means spending time today that pays you over and over again... even when you sleep... or sit on the loo! The two main ways that I have seen to make PASSIVE income are:

1. Property (mainly because we went on property investment courses... go figure!)
2. Making Money Online (or an online business).

  So back to that day sitting in the sun on the sofa in Essex, the day before we flew back to Qatar... I spent 10 minutes searching for how to create a blog. PING!! Wordpress jumped out at me, so I set up an account. A few minutes later...  Voilà!! We hopped into this mysterious world of "blogging". I have since "met" (online) some amazing people who are not only doing this full time... but are earning MILLIONS of dollars a year.   If you're anything like me, you're probably thinking "Yo bro... I don't want to sit in front of a computer screen all day!" or "I don't even know how to change a lightbulb, let alone do techie stuff!" The fact is you don't NEED to do this to make money online. I have learnt so far that you definitely do NEED to put in TIME and EFFORT... but there are systems that you can put in place or people that can do things that you don't want to. Plus... are you telling me that you've never put TIME and EFFORT into your job? Without a doubt, the Internet is the best place to put in TIME if you'd like to get paid over and over again.    

Why I Want to Help

---

I have become aware of how many people have problems that could be solved by 2 things: TIME and MONEY.   Going to school was always a bit of a nuisance growing up... It got in the way of playing sports and seeing my friends!! Seeing education as a teacher has made me realise what a disservice it does for children in today's information age.  

Knowledge is money today.

  Yet schools channel people into getting a full-time job. Full-time jobs take away your TIME... and it's pretty hard to increase your MONEY. The worst lesson we pick up from school is trading our time for money i.e. go to work and get paid for the amount of time we put in instead of the quality of our work or value we add.     I told some colleagues a few years ago that I wanted to change the WHOLE education system. After the mocking that you would expect from a bunch of PE teacher's someone asked, "but how?" ... well, this website is "the how". Our learning doesn't stop when we leave school... Remember guys every day's a school day!
