Growing up, my mother said I was destined for greatness. She told me that I would eventually become a successful entrepreneur, and it was only a matter of time before I got filthy rich.

Sure enough, my mother was correct. I recently made a million dollars from writing in 30 days.

Here‘s how I did it:

I Wrote A Book And Sold It On Amazon

“A daily routine built on good habits and disciplines separates the most successful among us from everyone else,” writes Darren Hardy. “A routine is exceptionally powerful.”

I’m not exaggerating when I say that quote changed my life as it inspired me to write for twelve hours per day. Sure, my daily routine often felt repetitive. However, it produced life-changing results and an impressive bank balance.

Here’s what my typical day looked like:

  • Wake up
  • Eat a Pop-Tart for breakfast
  • Sit down at my desk with a mug of coffee
  • Write for several hours until my fingers bleed
  • Grab dinner
