Welcome to Ten 24 Seven – An Income Experiment
You nosy? Want to keep track of a crazy oldish lady with A.D.H.D. while she tries to stay accountable to herself? Then you have come to the right place.
I doubt only a few will stumble upon this site but here’s the deal… I’ve never been good at being consistent for very long. It’s sad really because I’d really like to be. People have told me in my life that I have brilliant ideas but I’m lazy with no follow through. Hmmm lazy, who isn’t sometimes? Maybe not Marky Mark (my hero) but let’s go with the real just average Joe. Sorry if you’re name is Joe I didn’t make that up!
Ok so here’s the deal. I’m going to be 55 this year. I have more life behind me than ahead of me. I’ve been married almost 30 years. I’ve raised five children and even with me being an unorganized mess they came out to be incredible people who have flown the nest and are thriving. I’m so very proud of them. That said, what should I do with myself now? If it was up to all of my kids I would be watching my grandkids while they work but truth be told (even if I sound awful) I don’t want to. I want to visit my grandbabies, all eight of them, love of them but I don’t want that to be what I do. So what do I want to do when I grow up? I have some ideas!
During my 26 plus years of being a stay at home mom with A.D.D. (You read that right… I don’t know when they added the H but I was diagnosed in 1984 so I was an OG!) I learned many things because I was bored I guess. I learned html just by right clicking a viewing page sources… that was back in the early 2000s. OMG, I’m feeling older by the minute. At one point I had an online store and I sold cellphone antenna rings both retail and wholesale… which I had made for me at a factory in South Korea. I have also taught myself other things like about WordPress, how to make SVG files. I have done other things as well, I bought a Cricut and had an etsy store, I’ve learned how to crochet watching YouTube. I will say one wonderful thing about being neurospicy is that you’re not afraid to jump in a try whatever appeals to you at the moment. It’s the not sticking with it part which is the downfall.
Ok, that all seems like a lot and I’m not editing this because I basically just let my thoughts flow here so that you could kinda get to know me.
So on with it… my brain likes to kind of break down big things into small bits… I don’t know why. For example when the kids grew up I wanted to go buy my dream car… a Ford Mustang. The payments were $525 a month so my brain says… ok so I have to make $17.50 a day and my little side hustle ass got busy!
That is where the Ten 24 Seven comes into play. I would like to make $10 an hour, 24 hours a day, seven days a week resulting in an income of $1,680 a week. (Not rich rich money but it would be comfy money) I’m also lucky that my husband works and that was how I was a stay at home mom all those years and how now my flippant little self cans just try this experiment.
Of course I can’t work twenty four hours a day so I want to set up some websites and blogs that could make money even while I’m not “working” The whole passive income thing… in addition I will be doing some other things as well. Anyway this is a lot so I will make another page to share “The Plan“
Want to follow my craziness? Find me on Facebook… one it’s the place for oldish people such as myself and while I’m going to be doing lots of projects to accomplish this goal I need to take the keep it simple stupid approach (at least at first) to not overwhelm by spirit animal squirrel named Kenneth!
