As the clock struck midnight on December 31, 2024, my 16-year corporate journey officially came to an end, marking both an end and a beginning.

The last paycheck hit my bank account yesterday, signaling a pivotal moment in my life. I had contemplated leaving my job for months, patiently awaiting the right time, and that time has finally arrived.

At the time of farewell meeting, I said to my co-corkers “ I am retiring the organization with high financial confidence . I am earning double income than my monthly salary. Thanks to my money earning skills”- My words ends with loud clapping.

For the past three years, I’ve been immersing myself in the realm of digital marketing, acquiring skills that would soon become the cornerstone of my newfound journey.

The culmination of this effort is reflected in the ten eBooks I’ve authored, set to be released on January 14, 2024, covering subjects close to my heart — digital marketing, commodity investing, criminology, and psychology.

Commodity market earning and royalty income are now exceeding my monthly salary. Notably, my family, too, has found success in the commodity market, particularly in silver. I recently penned a book divulging the secrets of Silver Trading.

New Year, New Ventures: My Resolutions for 2024

  1. Consistent Medium Posts: I commit to sharing valuable insights and information on Medium every day for the next 365 days, covering topics ranging from law and crime to psychology, marketing, book writing, and personal life stories.
  2. Live Digital Marketing Program : Initiating a live digital marketing program tailored for authors, leveraging my expertise to help fellow writers enhance their online presence.

  4. New Books on Clinical Research, Law, and Psychology: Undertaking the challenge of writing three new books, delving into the realms of clinical research (a field I devoted 15 years to), law, and psychology.
  5. Reading Goals: Committing to reading 10 new books throughout the year, exploring diverse genres and expanding my intellectual horizons.
