This 39-Year-Old Makes $160,000 A Month Working 5 Hours A Week

How often have you wished that you could work less and earn more? Don't worry; it's an aspiration many people have. After all, who wouldn't love having more time and money to do the things they love without worrying about their finances?

Unfortunately, we can't just click our fingers and make this wish come true. However, it seems it is possible to work towards a future where this is a reality. Just look at Graham Cochrane. This 39-year-old makes $160,000 a month working five hours a week, and now he's offering an insight into how you can follow in his footsteps.

Graham Cochrane formed several successful businesses after losing his job

Graham Cochrane didn't set out to become an entrepreneur when he first started looking for work. However, when he lost his job in 2009, he had to find a way to pay the bills and keep his life together. This apparently led to him setting up a music and education blog - The Recording Revolution - which teaches people how to record music and potentially make money. After several years, this grew in success, and Cochrane was able to start a second business coaching people on better ways to make money and enjoy life more. Given that he reportedly makes $160,000 a month through passive income alone, it's maybe no wonder that thousands of hopeful entrepreneurs are taking his advice. 

Graham Cochrane only has to work around 5 hours a week across two days

The thought of only having to work five hours a week is probably something most people would love. As it turns out, it is possible if you're Graham Cochrane. He apparently only works on Mondays and Wednesdays, using the former to create content for his YouTube channel and podcast. This apparently takes up a couple of hours and is reportedly followed by an hour of answering emails or giving people advice. During his second - and last - day of the working week, he does a 90-minute video call for his advanced business coaching students and gets involved with some community interaction. Then, Graham's finished for another week as the money continues to roll in.

Working this way has given Graham Cochrane more time and money for his family

With all the spare time Graham Cochrane has, he's able to devote more time to his wife and children. The extra money he earns has also inspired him to give back more, with Cochrane allegedly donating 30% of his current income to those in need. He apparently intends to increase this to 50% eventually. All of this is because Cochrane found a way to provide products people wanted and utilize systems to his advantage. For instance, a lot of the emails he sends out are automatic because he's set them up that way. People still get the information while Graham avoids losing time sending emails. If anyone needs to ask him something directly, he has dedicated time for that. 

This extra time and money only exists because he's spent years putting in the work

Of course, no one should be fooled into thinking they can start making $160,000 a month working five hours a week in just a few days. It's taken years for Graham Cochrane to reach this point, and he only achieved it because he had a profitable business idea and worked out how to get the most out of it. Although others can definitely recreate his success, you likely won't be seeing results for a while now. That shouldn't put you off, though. Most things worth doing take time, and the sooner you start, the sooner you can potentially forge a path like Graham's.

If you don't like work dominating your life or believe that you're worth more than you're getting paid, you might find Graham Cochrane an inspirational man to follow. While there's no guarantee you'll manage to replicate his success, it's hard to resist the lure of potentially making $160,000 a month working five hours a week.
