CHAPTER TWENTY ONE

After being in Thailand for eleven years and being married for eight of those years and having children I decided I needed to bring in some income. Being in Thailand it didn’t have to be a lot. I owned my condo and some real estate. It was real because it was all paid for. Todays REAL estate is a 15-30 year mortgage so I have no idea what they are really talking about REAL.

So here I was. A foreigner in Thailand on a retirement visa. Impossible to work without most likely deportation. I looked and did a few things that were not working out. If I was caught? I was deported from my family and sent back to America. I worked in things I knew but import/export laws changed to make things more difficult.

Online or teaching in schools was a hassle. I took one job up by the Laos border teaching high school. It ended up costing me more than it was worth and when my family visited they wanted to go home. I broke down and moved back to Bangkok.

I didn’t stop. I rented a condo just to store extra stuff I had but made it into an office also. I started making videos on Youtube but kept searching. There was something else that I would find.

• I could not work in Thailand.
• I needed to bring in income.
• Youtube was moving but not aggressively.
• I needed to cut expenses.
• I needed to knd a job.
• It had to be online.
• I narrowed it to Afkliate Marketing.

I played around with this idea for a year. Watching these supposedly successful people sitting on a rented Lamborghini saying all this cool stuff. Of course, what most people want to hear but basically worthless. I kept searching and watching people with piles of cash around their notebooks. Why wouldn’t everyone do that? What about the 2010 Tauras that is paid for? Sit on that hood!

I devoted myself to changing my career that I was used to and how I earned an income. I decided that I would no longer chase promotions and money.
