The “$100 Dollars a Day” Mantra or “$100 a Day keeps the Tax Man at Bay!”

Hey guys Chris here. I want to share what has helped me get and stay motivated to go out and do Lyft rides. I call it the “Hundred Dollars a Day” Mantra or, “A Hundred a Day keeps the Tax man at bay!” (Shout out to the late great Hunter S. Thompson. It’s basically exactly what it sounds like. You go out (the key — I know, the hardest thing is just to start… ) and aim to make simply $100 dollars. You also try to do this every day for a month straight. This of course will net you $3000 dollars in a month on average, which is pretty good, but it also gives you a lot of free time to live your life. This is why I do Lyft actually, because it gives and allots me significant freedom. (I was just talking a walk this early afternoon thinking wow I really like to be and need to be outside!…)

If I work in a job, (which I have done most of my life) I receive money but I don’t have much free time. With Lyft, I can make $100 dollars a day, in about 3-6 hours, and still have free time to go and do the things I want to do whether it be go to the gym, or spend time with friends and family, go to a new restaurant, explore etc.

The other thing I like to do with this… is try to make the hundred in as little time as possible. Drive to bonus zones, do airport rides, or catch streaks, hit the rider challenge quota, do whatever you can to get to the $100 in as little time as possible. Here is a recent example of the “$100 a Day Mantra:”

In the above example, I started the week with 4 Rides on Saturday and finished the week with 6 Rides on Sunday, just a quick little weekend session, but good earnings, good tips, good “Other bonuses,” and Ride challenge accomplished. The session took about 1.5 hours on Saturday and 2.5 hours on Sunday. Also, this was a new driving week for me so don’t forget the Product Lab Survey installment… but the key is that I went out with the intention of making the $100 a day in as little time as possible both times I went out.

Let’s play a little game. Comment if you are a Lyft or Uber Driver and have ever tried this $100 dollar a day Mantra! And especially comment with your screen shot if you have made $100 dollars in 2 and half hours or less!

Happy Driving!
