John Wetmore stopped worrying about money and built a schedule around family time: seeing his kids one night a week, alternating weekends, home on Sundays. He woke at 5:00 a.m. for four years and earned $40,000 before moving to part-time work.

I made a decision that I was no longer going to accept a life in which I worried about $1,000 ever again. I decided to sit down and build a schedule, my ideal schedule. When I would see the kids, ideally, you know, the night a week and every other weekend I want to be with them. I want to be home on Sundays. I didn't want to have to work after church. You know, I want to spend some time, but I was willing to put in the work around that. And I really looked at my schedule and I committed. I would get up at 5:00. On the way back, hour and a half was a good day. If it rained or there was a wreck, who knows? It could be 2 plus, who knows how long coming back. Back. And I did that for 4 years to make $40 grand. I was definitely tired and, uh, decided I was going to start doing this thing part-time.
