Welcome To My World.
Hi, this is Dogood Mavericko, and I want to officially welcome you to my world.
Thank you for checking out my blog — I hope you enjoy it. I'm not exaggerating when I say I'll be sharing more value here than in many programs I've paid thousands of dollars for. That's actually one of my goals: to give away better material for free than what other people charge for.
About fifteen years ago, I earned my certificate of apprenticeship as a carpenter. What was supposed to be a safe, secure career turned out to be anything but — about a week after I qualified, a serious injury to both elbows ended it for good. I'd spent nearly half a decade training for a career that lasted about seven days. So much for job security.
I don't regret the years on the tools. I started working on my grandfather's farm when I was five, so hard work was never the issue. The real question was what I was working hard toward, and what kind of life I actually wanted to build.
“The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation.”
Thoreau wrote that line over 150 years ago, and I think it's more true today than ever. I had more opportunity in front of me than most of the last 4,000 years of documented human history — and I was still trading my hours away for twenty dollars at a time. Time is the one resource you never get back.
That's what eventually led me to start interviewing people who had actually escaped the 9-to-5 and built a lifestyle business of their own — which became Terrific 30, my free online community — and to start writing everything down here.
On this blog and in my email newsletter, I share ideas about faith, freedom, modern moneymaking methods, entrepreneurship, financial freedom, and building an online lifestyle business — the same ideas and content that have made the biggest difference in my own life. Hopefully they'll make a difference in yours too.

Most people spend more time planning a two-week vacation than they spend planning their actual life. I want this platform to be the place that changes that for you — one honest article, episode, and video at a time.
