Let me guess.

You’ve seen those Instagram photos with people typing happily on their laptops by the beach, wishing you were there. That your steaming mug of coffee while you’re staring at your pile of bills on the dining room table is going to cut it.

You see the terms “six figure freelance writer” or “make money part-time by working line” and believe it’s the gospel. That somehow, those people out there can make it within months, and so can you.

I hate to break it to you, but it’s a lie. The truth is — there is no such thing as overnight success. I don’t want to crush your dreams.  But before you go and buy the latest course promising you the moon and back, you need to understand what it really it takes to make it.

Let’s get started.

I know what you’re thinking.

How is someone more likely to be a millionaire just by washing their Ziploc bags?

Because you want to be a millionaire too, right?

You’re not about to scrub your little heart out, taking care not to damage your precious plastic goods just because you want to save a buck or two. You want to earn some big cojones. Bring home the bacon. Rake in the dough.

It’s not going to happen overnight (you wish!) but one day, all that cleaning will magically turn into one million dollars.

Except, it’s not just about washing ziploc bags. Oh no, it goes way deeper than that.

If you were to imagine five millionaires standing in front of you right now, what would you say they all had in common?

What if I told you it has nothing with what they wear, how much they earn or the size of their home?

Is it because they’re complete misers and never spend their money?

Absolutely not.

In fact, it’s about the reasons why they want to wash their ziploc bags in the first place.

And if you can understand why and learn to see how money works through their eyes, you’ll soon be stacking those benjamins.

Here are five reasons on what it really means for a millionaire to wash their ziploc bags.

Have you ever felt like if you just got your stuff together, that you’ll be so much richer (like, thousands of dollars richer) than you are right now?

Like, if you were more disciplined, or had more self control, you’d stop spending money on new clothes at the mall and stash it away in your retirement accounts?

Or if you can pay down the mortgage just a little bit, it’ll be easier to save?

You want to squeal with absolute delight when you see large numbers as you log into your bank account or your 401k. That there’s enough money in there to retire a few years early or even take a month off to travel the world.

It’s totally possible — people get to experience this as we speak — but it feels impractical, given your situation. With so much going on in your life right now, you can’t even imagine how you can grow your little nest egg to proportional amounts.

Long work hours, student loan debt payments and general adulting — there are what feels like a bazillion reasons to put off some of this money stuff for later. But you know what? It’s not as impossible as it seems.

Here’s the cincher: there are five simple actions you can take — like right now — to grow your net worth. The cool thing is that they don’t require long hours, just a few minutes of your time.

You think I’m full of shit right?

You’ve been slaving away at your side hustle for months and barely scraping by. And here you are scratching your head wondering: how does someone who works less than 40 hours a week – while wranging a rowdy three year old no doubt – earn six figures?

It’s understandable, considering you’ve read tons of crappy blogs promising a bazillion ways you can make easy money in your pajamas. You’re about to roll your eyes as you’re reading this, ready to criticize what I’ve got to say.

You’re no fool. You and I know that. Unlike those scammers out there, this post isn’t about how you can create a blog and earn money in your sleep. Not because there is some upsell at the end of this post, but because the truth is, creating an accidental business still takes a lot of damn work.
