Oh hello, Whatsapp readings. Welcome dishonest to school. We have just finished
week. Thirty nine of season, two, let's just keep things off right into being
here was a moment of gratitude. Last week I mentioned how we,
some sudden news, when our pod gas network announced with no warning that they were no longer going to be a pot gas network, which was, of course not an announcement that you expect ape like cats network to make now, as I said at the time, I don't mean to get into all the behind a scene step with you, because your time is valuable owing to focus on bringing you that daily lessons of cider school. So there's nothing to worry about. We have other options to distribute the show. My goal is for any transition to be a seamless listener, experience
they mention last weekend and talking about it now, because I think it's important business lesson think there's something you can learn from it, or at least it illustrates a principle that I talk about from time to time. Where are you putting your focus? Where are you putting your attention? What kind of asset are you build
Long long ago, when I was selling an online auction, I had an experience of an auction site. I was on that completely disappeared. It was a big company. Just completely went out of business disappeared, leaving its active listings and even if completed listings out of communication,
and therefore out of getting paid, and this was a huge thing at the time. I lost something like two thousand dollars, maybe as much as three thousand, and I was something like fifteen to twenty years ago-
when I was first learning. You know how this whole world worked and now, at the time as a very significant amount of money. For me, I mean to say that two to three thousand dollars
small, to meet our to any one now, but but the point is back there
was a whole light and a kind of realise huh. What happens here? You know I thought I was building an asset
but actually the values with this online auction site and they control the other network in the communications between buyers and sellers. Not if they disappeared. I got nothin. Basically, I gotta figure something else out and of course I did know, but in comparison to these experiences- and thinking now like this is better because as much as I appreciate our partners at that network who sell the ads and take their the business stuff like that's important, but the reality is that the value of something like satisfy school is in its community of listeners. It is it is you, and so, if we have to do something else, to figure out the paperwork and how things
you are right behind the scenes, but a much better problem to have that do not have an audience so the moment of gratitude. I was looking through my linked in invitations. I mentioned recently
me, I'm linked and if you'd like him and ology back, I had some
like a hundred new invitations. The next time I checked, lots of listeners were saying things like how they're going back and listening to the entire archive or something specific about how to show has made a positive difference in their lives, and I was like me to the show is made a difference, apposite difference in my life to as just one example, I got a note
from a man to S. Amanda says: extorted setting my alarm to play status will school every morning, so I can start my day inspired
it out into my own thing. Thanks for the motivation,
Well, I'm dyin everyone you're welcome, I motivated to, and I'm glad I'm grateful.
So we're not going anywhere, we are fully committed to
end of the year I most likely
member or so I'll make an announcement about what comes next
try version. Is I love doing us so as long as you care about it, I want to keep making at least making some version of it. So that's enough about me. Let's talk about you.
By way of something I heard in yoga this week. Okay, so I guess it's about! May technically, but really it's about you at the end of the class. The instructor said something about your body appreciates you making time, for it
and I like that phrase I know as well as you do that it can be hard to find the time for yoga or for running or hitting the gem, whatever kind of exercise or activity you like, but when you may try
You sell your usually better off its very rarely, if ever the actually to choose to make time for something, even if you dont want to, but you know its import, you know it's something
believe in and then later I say I wish I hadn't done that most design. You say I wasn't sure to Vienna
But I'm glad I did it in the end, so there's this weird paradox of how the things we need to do for ourselves tend to get de prioritized in comparison to other people's needs or the demands being placed on us. Yet, if we're not
for ourselves. Sooner or later, we're not gonna, be a great help for anyone else, not there. So naturally, I think this is true in a lot of things of life, but also in the world of your lives,
or not so little income generating projects yet to help her breast, why I'm here every day the one you do apart from your job, that side hustle whenever you like to call it? Sometimes it's tough to find time- and I understand I get it, but my question for you is: what will you be better off with having found a way to make time for this week,
or if you just look at a little bit and say this week, what will you be better off with having found a way to make time for ask yourself that question and just take a moment, if you can to write down your answer, maybe even pauses and come back to it in a second or if you're, on a go at the moment. Maybe just try to keep it in your mind. What will you be better off with having found a way to make time for, and here is just one more chance that might make it easier if you can't find a long stretch of time to block off this
We are today or whatever time period, you're looking at identify what you'll do with whatever time you do have an identified that in advance so make a list of actions. You can take steps. You can complete
that will move to the next level or the next stage or set of tasks, and they whenever
now that limited time window, whether its two hours or twenty minutes, you won't wasted by figuring out what to do make sure you have a plan of attack, a plan of action that you can take with you for those little windows of time.
That is my encouragement. Slash ran for you today at the end of the week as we get right to begin a new one
today also includes another update from someone we featured on the show a while back. We ve been doing these blast from the past every week and today's update is from a photographer named Daniel. Let's hear from him
how does a day grove in San Antonio Texas, my side hustle is possible.
Words and create a photo shoots, and I was feature
beside one nineteen citizens last year,
episode in April. I've continue to improve my photography and editing. Second stand out from the other cosplay photography in my area have also
with a lot of new costs, players at local conventions and gained a lot of fans so as
both in share my work, others learn about me online and I make
actions with them for future jobs at conventions here in my own city, because on my comp,
he did at its I've also had a lot of photographers higher meet at their own photos, with mining style invasion and that's all
the great feeling I recently
few projects for the owner of a major convention here and my own town, and that is, got me free tickets to that convention, as well as an in with costly celebrities that he deals with for these events and those are my deal clients at these costs bacon
and why do my photos shoots?
with me newer photographers that want to learn- and I use them as assistance,
someone to move my lights around and care my gear from to shoot and they get to learn how things work and how I make my images after me featured on site.
School and listen to other podcast guess I was inspired start my own podcast earlier this year is
The visionary variety podcast and we cover photography. Business are
nor the nerdy stuff plus another
Reed avenue for me to have one for drivers and people in my industry. I eventually,
in turn the site hustle into a full time income by next year,
so in order to do that, I've gotta become more profitable and sustainable and re evaluate how I'm doing things so I really
that I've got a very neat product that a lot of people want, and my goal is to mark or myself to the right people and make the money that I'm worth. While I do what I do my
for any other site hustlers out. There will be this, be the best you
and be I what you do and if you're in a combined,
this kind of market look at what others are doing and either do it better than them or do something else better and stand out in the unique. Well, that's about it
I hope my inspires someone out there with my son, has a story and thanks for listening, awesome Daniel. Thank you so much, but up date we first featured him on the show he had earned something like forty thousand dollars, cumulatively from his star wars and other costs play,
seemed photos. He's got a goal in mind of where he wants to go next. It sounds like he knows what he needs to do to make that happen. So I respect that intention. I also like this quote. He had about how a lot of these
tag refers, are better than me photos or portraits, but they, like my edits. So he is really found his distinction or is differentiation his specific skill and he's going all out with that and it seems to be working pretty well. So we look forward to hearing what happens next. Everyone, if you'd like to follow along with Daniel, can check out his cited Daniel Grove photo TAT. Come see. Some of these amazing cosplay themed artwork and also check on his new pot.

Podcast S, Titus will school dot. Com
so looking back on this week. I want to talk briefly about a challenge I issued. What was that episode? Six hundred and thirty three more than one second, but also we had two stories about me
importing your own products from China. There was a a physician, plush plush to teach anatomy episode, six three, three four and also a brazilian jujitsu instructor. I d practice that word jujitsu, think I got it brazilian Jujitsu instructor, who is earning twenty thousand dollars a month from a creative work out tool that he created, or at least he cried
version of it? That was episode, six hundred and thirty seven, and as a reminder, you can always listen to any episode. I mention just by going to satisfy Skoda COM, slash the number so sixty seven slashed, sixty seven pretty obvious. You can also see the detailed show nights with links to anything. That's talked about the episode and sometimes mother
sources as well, we also had an artist success story, a tray
Joe sign artist, who has suffered more than thirty five hundred t stained prince mostly on Etsy. That was really interesting. He's made forty three thousand dollars selling these Teasdale prints from royalty, free copyright, free images that are in the public domain, but I also told you on episode six thirty, three, the episode of the closed drier that change a family forever. I thought this was just such a fine, inspiring story. This guy's a government employ and it's out of work during the recession and learns to buy and sell, essentially flipping closed dryers, and why
sure than eventually other appliances and other stuff, and once he gets good at this, he does it full time any are inside more than a hundred thousand dollars a year by the time, he's really perfected and mastered it. So he didn't know that episode. You might want to go back and listen
as I issued a reselling challenge, and I would love to know
from somewhere or listeners, are you in? Are you up for that challenge? If you have never made money for yourself, apart from your paycheck or if you're, just kind of discovering? What is this side of the world? What can I do with? It might eventually be something more specific that you do. You might actually create a service or a product of your own, but if you need to make money now
Dennis before you just want experiment. It is totally possible to follow the same model that he used. What you can hear about again in that episode of just buying stuff and then reselling it for a higher price, and it's also not a ton of risking it
worst case scenario: if you're buying a close dr doesn't work out, then you got a closed. While we have to figure out what to do us but again you're, not in that
your life's savings here so listeners. If
that. Let me a semi tweets me: an email, Gimme, a coronet hustle hotline, whatever is best for you, but
know what you're doing and what the result was. Maybe as well as what you gonna do next right, because always a next step
coming up on the show we have another strong, we planned. Our team has just been going up
beyond getting all kinds of gray stories. I especially appreciate Whitney forensic our continent manager. She is really author hustling, as one does, especially when you on the status of school team have a prerequisite. She has hustling to get us the best possible stories and she always once your recommendations to by the way. If you have somebody,
We should feature write to her at Whitney Cubby HIV any why at sight of school dot com, but, as I said, coming up with
a story about something called Cave day: she's pretty cause it's a whole experience where you go in and work with people as a group and where the found
set cave, they started because I realized no one ever taught us how to work. We all have different indispensable relationships with technology and we need to be trained in how to use and not use that technology to serve the projects and work. We have pretty cool concept. We also got a dj who sells wedding, playlists and a New York City based project manager, who is starting a line of women's underwear right. This is what we do on the show we mix it up a kind of different stop, my entire go until you all these different.
Lorries is so you kind of see what they have in common is really something in common with a dj who sells wedding, play lesson in York, city project manager who starting a line of women's underwear. While there are
some fundamental underlying lessons that might be the same, and if you don't
light to one of their stories. You might relate to the other one and can relate to either of those treaties, public enemy, something else next week. My goal is that every week unify at least one story you're like wow
They had no idea that people can make money doing that, and that gives me an idea that region
this is an idea already. Have it tells me what my next step should be, or maybe it's just kind of funding here, like all the crazy ways that people are making money and investing in themselves, not just about making money? It's about. What can you do with that money? What is the reality of that look like for you,
As I said at the top of the episode, you are the reason I make the show actually set in the very first episode, six hundred and thirty seven days ago, that if you make the commitment to make this part of european, then I to commit to supporting you in your quest to create that new
source of income. That's what we're all about, and I'm not the only one here, working on a show and mention Whitney correct our continent manager. I just want to give a special shudder to senior producer Ac Valdez assistant producer, Sarah Barrett
community liaison JET Chang, any official show cat levy. Liberia, Gill about this- is a free list.
Support it shall, if you are enjoying it I'd, be super grateful for a quick little rating and review and apple pie task just takes a moment and it helps other people discover the show. You can also tell your friends.
Or even better, show them how to subscribe. You know somebody who needs it.
Source of income send into us we'll take care of them at the end of most episodes. I mention that inspiration is good, but action is better. That's because my greatest hope is that our listeners will take action
I went to feature at your story here one day, maybe one day soon, I look forward to hearing
You doing that. I hope to see you tomorrow and each day next week, with more stories and actionable ideas. Are episodes go online,
six one a m eastern time until we meet again.
