all right. I want to talk briefly about just a couple: the episodes this week. Of course I encourage you to listen to all of them, but I know you're busy. That's what we keep him short also. I do this recap so coupled I'd like to highlight four, you episode. Three. Seventeen were restarted the week off, lifelong A scout earns recite hustle badge and thirty five there's a month? This is really interesting because it just a simple, content business. What I mean is content, she's, writing e books. She sang easy bucks for three to five dollars. Each super super low priced which is clearly got a lot of volume because its adding up to that impressive thirty five hundred dollars a month total and my encouragement, her an episode. My strong encouragement, in fact, is to create at least one higher price product, or perhaps a compilation of Oliver products. I say higher price and not talking about expensive, I'm talking about twenty dollars for a higher price product or if its accomplice,

Oliver stuff, maybe add up no, what the retail value of that would be and then no discount at four thirty percent. So perhaps it's the forty seven dollar bundle or something If she did that, I would be amazed if she doesn't see a very significant increase in our income is not about trying to charge girl scout troop leaders. You know a lot more money, you can still keep at low priced, but three to five large is really really low to keep those ebooks by do think about developing something else. Her name is Jody, so Jody if it works and you do increase your income. All that money is yours to keep. I just asked for a box or to attack lungs. Those are my favour. Growth got cookies, just saying. I also really liked episode. Three nineteen from landscaper to pod cast producer earning four thousand dollars a month, and there is a phrase that episode that I've been thinking about over the past couple days. This guy discovers his sight hustle in what he called the trifecta of passion, skill and opportunity, and I thought that was so great because not every side huh. Has to meet this trifecta. You may just stumble on something: that's a good opportunity and my philosophy

Firstly, as you know, to think hard about it like, if see money lying under a rock, you should pick it up, and this is contrary to a lot of typical entrepreneurial advice, or maybe things you go on shark tank. Creating an extra income source for yourself without cutting your job is quite different from trying to create a start, or something it's huge and scale. But it is nice and I think it's the kind of things that lead people to eventually quit their jobs when they do find a trifecta when it's not just a good, opportune but it also something that really excited about, and it something that their good at. That's why it's important to have all three, because you can be really excited about something, but not that great at it. Like a sometimes talk about my inability to fix anything mechanical, they have no mechanical skills whatsoever. Dont know how to do any kind of car maintenance the joke. I say which is sadly based in reality, is that I used to be able to elect, put in light bulbs, and that was yet but then lightbulbs targeting complicated. Now some of them have not just like sky. Any other sort of thing you have to take out in complicated gotta to make sure you can't get electrocuted. Oh my God

So in this case not only do I not have the scale and also not passionate about it. I have no desire to get better at that. My life actually a lot better. When I just accepted that said, okay, this is not something I'm good, I'm going to do the things I am good at, but just imagine if all of a sudden, I became passionate about that and said, like I'm, going to start a side hustle like you, don't going to people's remote offices and I'm doing car and Sir, whatever doesn't matter. If I'm really excited about it, I have no skill in it and I'm not gonna learn that skill overnight. So with all three of these things, passions given opportunity, you can look and say: okay, well, you know you. Make something work. If you have two out of three, maybe once in a while one or two three is ok but honestly the goal and I think the whole goal of your career vision, actually, which is not something we usually directly address on the show. I think the goal is to find out trifecta to work towards it So it's pretty cold. This guy had the scale we had this background and audio engineering. I think, even at a degree in it he was super passionate about podcast, listening to them for fish,

hours a week on double speed. It's gotta be a record and, of course, there's a tremendous opportunity with more more people, starting pie casts and a gap in the market between people who wanted to do everything themselves completely. I why, which is totally fine and in some bigger, shows that work with networks that have a full time, production, team, lots of shows and better I was in the middle of those two ranges: that's how he was able to get the four thousand dollars a month in a pretty short of time. Unless I just applied episode. Three hundred and twenty two, a marketing executive, create a coupon site. By the way, there's a bit of a divide over how to say that word. So I pronounce it coupon, but if you say Cuban, that's cool to the point as a discount the site, and there are a lot of sites like this out there. You have probably seen than yourself if you ever search for a discount code for an online merchant, literally Thoust, These sites exist they earned, and when you go to their site and use their code, you go back to that merchant, whether its Eddie Bauer. Or are you I or best buy or any other number of companies? Somebody sites actually make a lot of money,

some of them, also have a pre terrible user experience because they're all about just kind of sucking people in getting their computer cookie. So that when they go back that merchant they're can earn money, but the design is really bad and a lot of a discount codes don't actually work. There expired, so you, as a user, have a frustrating experience, but the sight doesn't really care because there's still gonna make money off you so in that way. It's kind of an annoying business model right because it creates a value for them, but without doing anything for you, but of course you can create a good experience for consumers with it actually give them discount codes that work. So if they come to your site, they get that code. They If money you have made their life better, they might keep coming back. They might you know Twitter, Facebook or otherwise share your site with other people. May I just say twenty dollars my purchase, you know from the site check it out too haven't looked at this model before and more than two hundred episodes. So if you're interested in it maybe going check it out and the person feature there had a pretty good strategy of paying for this feed that curates the deals and make sure that people actually have a good experience

so does. Are allies from this week. Of course, you can check them all out. You just a little bit of what's coming up over the next week or next week is Thanksgiving, at least in the? U S If you live in Canada already, had your thanksgiving feel free to celebrate with us as well, if you live somewhere else in the world will feel free to celebrate with us to because not easily one for holidays, but Thanksgi is one public v1 that I use it looked forward to the most? It's all about gratitude and pie. How could you not be happy with those things and just before Thanksgiving, I'm actually doing a super quick trip to the United Arab Emirates two and emirate called charge. I, which is right outside of do by some accident, a fly to do by from the states be part of this entrepreneurial ship event that I was invited to speak out and then returned the next day, which is right before thanksgiving. So I think my planet to just not sleep at all and then there will be any jet lag. I'll? Let you know that goes more importantly, on the show, I've got an amazing episode coming up free to Morrow, and I do not that lightly. Ok, if you ve been listening to us,

here. You know that there are certain stories that you here and you're like. I just can't believe that that is a man That is incredible. I even get em and people that are like, I just dump, I'd literally dont, believe it and, unlike we'll, go look at it like here's the website, we have actually verified this information, and I know it I have to say this is an amazing episode, but I promise you that lives up to the hype. The topic is: are you ready for this, its bouncy castles or bouncy houses for adults that are rented at parties? Pvc about the castle, Bouncy House. You probably never wondered like. Where does that come from like how much does it cost? How does it work? There's a guy one of our listeners who investigates the world about castles decides to get into it himself does drop shipping. Where never actually handles the inventory, which is key, he doesn't have a hundred bouncy castle stacked up in his garage he's, dropping his bounty castles and he is making well just. Let me tell you to Morrow he's making a lot of money from this, so you're gonna hear about them. He Castle empire that we started part time by regular guy with a job and ends up making

money than the vast majority of us see in a couple of years of like a regular income. So, yes, you don't miss that one only on side of school You hear stories like that. Of course, we got some other stuff come out this week. That's just the one most excited about to be honest with you, I mean how could you not be, and before I say farewell for the week, I just want to say thank you as well to a number of folks.
