I really love when something start small and really grows into this huge gonna thing not to say that every sign of soul needs to do that, of course, but it's really fun when it happens this was a woman from Canada who used her skills in the hospitality industry. To create this hall If tease, and about along away because it for she thought she was gonna, make sexy t shut. All these like fun floor, patients names for the t returned
the people in really want that early stated: want that as much as what she evolve to, which was more about Chee that helps you feel a certain way or cheat its associated with the desired feeling, and she kept the name which is too he's tease and said now stone fantastically well. It's actually stopped in the four seasons: hotels, all across Canada, in addition to many supermarkets and other retail outlets, in the U S and elsewhere after that, episode forty one, a writer who turns left over cherries into a five thousand dollars a month income. She begins by creating this alternative ketchup line shows you to catch up with people who don't like catch up, or I guess, touch it produced people who want something different. So she started by making cherry catch up and lots of other fruit kinds of catch ups, but her changes along the way, because it has this restructuring moment when she's diagnosed with type two diabetes, religious, yes, to make some changes in her life and her diet, up cutting out sugar for herself and then decides to take this and into her side, hustle and, interestingly it kind of rituals, her recipes creates all neurons.
These are new products. Essentially she begins to target the paleo market, the whole thirty markets, other people with those kinds of specialised diets and actually ends up much better. So she doubles yourselves. I believe I think it was two thousand dollars in something a month. After doing this retooling then introducing an actual catch up, which was sugar, free she's? Not very well more than fifty thousand dollars a year again as a psycho saw episodes Forty two was game night and a can make seventy five thousand dollars for a tv producer has an inch in process involving manufacturing partnering with a company to make what is essentially a board game, so exactly abort game. But it's a kind of. Physical game, you sit around with your friends and family in a room and play so similar, saint elements, initially funds, this project through Kickstarter Kickstarter, was quite right. I swear, I think twenty thousand dollars or something, but then obviously it went on to do much more than that. So wasn't just a success because of crop funding. It was success because he had a great product and he was able
get that out into the right retail stores and ultimately into the hands of people who really enjoyed the game. Episode two and four three was about a language teacher who becomes fluent impassive. Income is kind of reference this question, and I will come back to you in a moment about what's better income that you work for but just kind of arrives passively, and I did my advice after the person. That story which may arise I'll be relevant for her, but I think it's definitely come into consider. If you find yourself in a situation, she was making the partners. Minds. Answer is making ass, a way which is great, but she asked- had something like surrendered to products, not just kind of if she had too many products, because that just seems like a whole lot to look out if you're looking through one of the lessons that she had on a platform, I think it was. Teachers pay teachers and it seems kind of overwhelming. So my suggestion If you have a bunch of products, and some of them are showing much more than others, which is normally hot works. Encourage you to think about back, some of those ones that are not selling and maybe even taking. Off the market. Usually you
focus on your winners and let go of those things that are not working and that's usually good advice for lots of things episode, children. Forty four was about a new mother who gives life not only to a baby but also to a self chair, coaching business. This episode reminded me of Mommy coffee she talked about a couple weeks ago that specialise line of coffee that has different caffeine auctions, as well as an organic d. I find it an option that doesn't use chemicals. The way other DE cabinet copy does aspect. Before a new mothers who are breastfeeding. Unexpected mothers, That was a really smart market. So here sat beside. It was mostly about job woman who had given birth and had this kind of several week period, Post partum, where so she is focused on being a new mother, but she also kind These are pockets of time, and maybe some because a little but just orientated during this time of transition before she goes back to our day, job and genes, upgrading the Self CARE coaching business last but not least, episode chew,
five man cells, fourteen hundred hours in coffee to neighbours using the next door out- and I thought that was so creative. He use this up which is not designed for selling, is not like Craigslist or Ebay or at sea, or anything like that. It basically an app designed to connect people. He found, as I said, a creative unconventional and hopefully annoying is not a word Yes, I just mean he didn't annoy his neighbours by doing this way, to sell copy to people that left in his close proximity, and it wasn't just a one wonder he turn this into an actual ongoing side. Hustle recently relocating from San Francisco to instigate a California the name of this new businesses caught called bedfellows roasting company they also cells online and ships around the country so check out of your needed. Some coffee, which I pretty much, am every and, as I alluded to, I want to briefly talk about this question. Would you rather work hard for a thousand dollars or receive ignore dollars passively, not when I say there's don't focused too much on the amounts, because money is contact
like what is allowed me to some one is not to someone else and were all indifferent seasons of life so, as could be ten thousand dollars just five thousand dollars or it could be. A hundred eyes were just ten dollars, pointers. Imagine you have to amounts of money, You can choose to spend your time and your expertise, kind of trading your hours for a certain amount of money and is something wrong with doing not like most do that in various ways throughout our life, very few of us have completely passive income. Nevertheless, I would argue- and I think a lot of you would agree with me- that its also record be able to have this income the source of money that comes and without you doing much. If at all- and I just love this concept of going to bed- eight and then waking up in the morning. Checking your phone or logging on your computer or whatever the source is and looking in seeing while I made some money last night or maybe it's quite that way. Maybe it's like you just going. You're normal life and once a month or whenever it is a check right in the mail and there's a moment of Excel because you up in the oblong when you get this check and you can deposit it and you did nothing for it like it just showed up
to each of us, we're gonna have different answers to this question. The answer might be different. Point in your life. I work on projects I do trade my time for money sometimes, but am also trying to income that arrives without me doing something for it. If you haven't had experienced before, if you ve only traded time for money, that's where I think you should put some of your fuckers I know you on how much time, but just think about the value that this has think about the potential this could have for your life. Question is what building blocks can you began assembling to create some kind of acid, That will pay you repeatedly. Like some of the stories that you heard this week just like game night and Obviously it was a lot of work to conceptualize that to manufacture it than to get it out there, but now it's just kind of selling or even the sugar free catch up or the cheese tee certainly a lot of work there, but again once its listed on Amazon or wherever, like they can log in the next day and see what it salt, if you dont, relate to those. Lorries. While we are on episode children, forty six, so if you go back and pretty
You can find some episode some stories you relate to that you can see Yes, I like. I want to do something like that. I want to be like that person in my own way of with my own idea, but that's what I want to do. I want to have that outcome in my life and going forward to support you more and more in that goal, as I hear listeners. As I prepared to go out in the world and meet with people every night, the shows us get better and better and going to make this happen together with you. With that vision in mind, coming up, Next week we have a pretty cool story: secular coming tomorrow, It gonna be awesome, is a target store manager who makes forty Five thousand dollars a month. Writing a blog, I'm not kidding and give it whole story about that also explain he still working at target, even though making forty five thousand dollars a month on the side. Short version is, Think he's gonna be working there much longer, but I really liked what story, I'm excited to tell you about tomorrow is also. Brother and sister, who turn their dad's medical practice into an online store.
Addition to mothers and teachers and lots of other folks. I know you have some positions listening to satisfy school and I know a lot about here's physicians. Healthcare professionals would love to do something to work. A bit less, perhaps released of their income coming impassively. Just like I just mentioned plus stories about that there. Also a fashion line that contributes profits toward rescuing elephants and, of course, a bunch of us Fine stop. You never know what you're going hear each day, the show an ideal fortunate and grateful to be able to work and bring it to you.
