Always the creative kid, a big dreamer with lots of ideas and projects in the making. Writing soon became my biggest passion. In 2014 I obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in Cultural Studies, the perfect education for someone like me with a big interest for the arts, other cultures and history. I envisioned working at a museum, a library or in the publishing sector. Having trouble finding a cultural job I started working as a cleaner instead. I soon decided to get back to school and I became a medical secretary 2018.
Unfortunately, this occupation didn’t suit me either. The everyday routine left me little or no time to do the things that I actually wanted to do. I lived for the weekends and holidays. More than three years went by and I had to do something. Thing is, I had already tried to find other jobs for a long time without luck. I also knew Covid would make things even harder and without getting into details, my boss wasn’t supportive when I looked for other jobs. I had reached a dead end.
That’s when I told my husband I had to quit my job. He was a bit shocked but he supported me, believing things would work out eventually. I was convinced I would find a job quick looking for jobs full-time. I had some income insurance so I managed okey for some months, but time started to run out and still no job in sight. The only option was to start my own business. It had been a long time dream but I had no idea what to do exactly. I only knew I wanted to build an online business and do something creative. So I started this site as a platform to share some articles about subjects close to my heart, like creativity and passive income. Here I am today, building it from scratch since 2023. You never know what the future brings!
My Passions
There are many art forms that I hold dear to my heart, including music, painting, photography, film and literature. Animals make me relax and are close friends to me. I also like to travel, that gives me energy. It’s nice to relax with a jigsaw puzzle, chess or a computer game once in a while. In 2021, I was finally able to make my childhood dream of playing the violin a reality and it still feels like déjà vu! I play the violin as often as I can, it’s so fun and challenging.
My brother inspired me to enter the stock market. I read a lot about it at first, but I knew I had to start somewhere. When I worked as a cleaner I invested most of my first salary in stocks. I had absolutely no idea of what I was doing. I had extreme beginner’s luck. Then I started making some mistakes. Early on I knew this was my thing! It felt so amazing to actually make money this way, almost too good to be true. I enjoy the excitement. It’s like a game, logic but also very unpredictable. Like you’re competing with yourself. It’s a waiting game and I’ve always had a great portion of patience. Learning more about dividends also made me passionate about passive income.
My Goals
My biggest goal in life is to publish at least one book.
I want to live a simple life with a balance between work and rest.
Developing a sustainable healthy lifestyle is of course an ongoing goal.
Becoming a better violinist is something I’m working on.
I’m studying hard to learn about accounting so I can manage my business independently.
As a lifelong learner, I’m always seeking ways to improve myself.
In terms of my investments, my ultimate goal is to generate enough
monthly dividends to cover my rent during periods of low income.
Passive income is something I always have in mind – finding multiple,
sustainable streams of income is really a life changer.
I hope to inspire others to believe in themselves and find their own
path to success. It’s never too late to make a change in your life.
Every day is an important day! ♥
