The First Step is the Hardest

Lets Go!

Hi there!  Welcome to the Sierra Apex! It’s a strange name for a website, I know. I’m not exactly the best person at choosing names, but again, choosing a name isn’t the easiest thing to do. I aim to give a window into my life, mostly financial for now. I promise it’s more interesting than it sounds.

I must admit, currently I feel that I am not living a very exciting life, but I want to change that in the future. I want to travel, I want to explore other cultures, and I want to be myself. I’m still young-ish at 28, and I really feel like I haven’t done anything with my life thus far. This builds a little frustration inside of me that gets worse as time goes by, that I want to do something but I feel I can’t.

My main goal right now is to save as much money as I can to quit being dependent on an employer. I currently work from 7 a.m. in the morning to 4 p.m. in the afternoon, sometimes later. Other people have it harder, I know, but there are so many reasons why I want to quit working as an employee. But, like many others, I feel like I must endure my daily grind and, many days, a toxic work environment because I need to pay the bills.

I don’t have anything else I could really do at the moment. Does this make me feel a little powerless? In a way, that’s one of the reasons why I’m starting this blog, channel, brand, whatever you want to call it. I want to feel a little more in control of something in my life.

I feel like I’ve had enough working conventional jobs. Other people may look at this as an issue with me not wanting to work. This is simply not true. I want work that makes me feel good at the end of the day. I want work where I feel I am making a positive difference in my life and the lives of the people around me. not work, where I sometimes question why I’m even there. I would prefer work that is remote and that I could work my own hours anywhere in the world.
