1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,680
Ever feel like you're stuck on that hamster wheel?

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,240
You know, trading all your precious time for a paycheck.

3
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:07,180
I know I have.

4
00:00:07,180 --> 00:00:08,840
Yeah, that's the struggle, isn't it?

5
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:11,920
Finding that balance.

6
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,860
That's why I'm really excited for today's deep dive.

7
00:00:14,860 --> 00:00:18,060
We're gonna explore ditching that nine to five grind,

8
00:00:18,060 --> 00:00:19,760
achieving financial freedom.

9
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:20,680
Oh.

10
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,800
And the best part, getting more time with family.

11
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:25,360
Sounds like a dream, right?

12
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,200
That work-life balance everyone's after.

13
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,640
It is, and our source material today is,

14
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,360
well, it's a YouTube video by Odetta Rockhead Kerr.

15
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,480
She's this self-made entrepreneur who,

16
00:00:35,480 --> 00:00:37,120
well, she actually made it happen.

17
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:37,960
Oh, wow.

18
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:40,080
The video is called, quit your job in 90 days

19
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,600
and enjoy more time with your family, guaranteed.

20
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:43,440
Catchy, right?

21
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:44,400
Definitely gets your attention.

22
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:45,600
But before you think it's some kind of

23
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:49,040
get rich quick scheme, Odetta, she makes it super clear.

24
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,160
This is a roadmap, a strategic one.

25
00:00:51,160 --> 00:00:52,160
It takes work, you know.

26
00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:53,560
Right, there's no magic button.

27
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,280
Nope, but she breaks it down into steps

28
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:56,280
you can actually do.

29
00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:00,320
So it's more like a plan, a realistic plan.

30
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:01,640
Exactly, so the big question is,

31
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,760
can you really ditch the grind in 90 days?

32
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,520
What are the trade-offs?

33
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:06,880
Sacrifices, yeah.

34
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:07,720
Let's dive in.

35
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,040
So Odetta, she starts off with this really interesting

36
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,160
concept, your survival number.

37
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:13,200
I love that phrase.

38
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:14,960
It's so much clearer than just thinking about

39
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:16,560
like a dream income.

40
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,680
Right, it's about that bare minimum you need every month,

41
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,560
just to cover those essential expenses.

42
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,280
With the essentials, the must-haves.

43
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:24,720
Exactly.

44
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,920
She breaks down those typical survival costs, you know.

45
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,720
Housing, transportation, food, even healthcare.

46
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,240
Like for housing, she suggests budgeting,

47
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,960
$1,500 to $2,500.

48
00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:39,120
But even though Odetta points out,

49
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:40,960
that could be totally different depending on where you live.

50
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:42,800
Yeah, location, location, location, right.

51
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:44,840
Right, same for things like transportation.

52
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:49,760
She says maybe $800 a month or food, $700.

53
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,080
It all adds up fast.

54
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:52,120
It really does.

55
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,280
This is where those budgeting apps come in handy.

56
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:55,480
You know, the ones we've all heard about.

57
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,640
Odetta specifically mentions Rocket Money,

58
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:58,920
which we'll link in the show notes.

59
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,280
Oh yeah, those apps can be lifesavers.

60
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:02,920
Help you track where your money's going.

61
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,960
And help you figure out where to cut back,

62
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:06,680
because sometimes we don't even realize.

63
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,400
It's like that aha moment when you see it all laid out.

64
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,960
Right, knowledge is power, especially with your money.

65
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,960
So you've got your survival number figured out.

66
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:15,800
What's next?

67
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,280
The big cuts.

68
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,520
Well, sort of Odetta's step two is all about

69
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:20,880
trimming those expenses.

70
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:22,120
Time to tighten the belt.

71
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,680
Yeah, she's all about short term sacrifice

72
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,640
for that long term gain.

73
00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:29,760
Think of it like a financial boot camp.

74
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:33,080
It's intense, but there's a reward at the end.

75
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,640
But it's got to be sustainable, right?

76
00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:35,480
Right.

77
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:36,680
You don't want to make yourself miserable.

78
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:37,520
Exactly.

79
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,720
She cautions against those drastic cuts.

80
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:42,920
That could really affect your life,

81
00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:44,160
even your mental well-being.

82
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:45,000
Makes sense.

83
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,360
It's about finding that balance.

84
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,120
And she practices what she preaches.

85
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,880
She shares how she negotiated a lower interest rate

86
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,760
on her mortgage and even invested in solar energy

87
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,320
to lower those electricity bills.

88
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:57,880
Wow, that's commitment.

89
00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:58,720
It is.

90
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,640
Not everyone has those options.

91
00:03:00,640 --> 00:03:02,600
But she also talks about more practical stuff,

92
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,240
like limiting how much you eat out,

93
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,120
getting those deals at wholesale stores.

94
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:07,960
Smart shopping.

95
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,160
Yeah, and hitting pause on any spending

96
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,400
that's not essential, at least for a while.

97
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,760
So it's really about looking at your own WN budget, right?

98
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:15,600
Absolutely.

99
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,280
What are your big expenses?

100
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,400
Where can you cut back, realistically?

101
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:20,400
It's personal.

102
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,200
There's no one answer for everyone.

103
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,800
Like, what's essential for one person

104
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,880
might be a luxury for someone else?

105
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:27,720
Exactly.

106
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,440
So we've got our survival number down.

107
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,120
We're cutting expenses.

108
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:32,280
What's the next piece?

109
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:33,120
Hmm.

110
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:34,160
Let me guess.

111
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:35,240
Emergency fund.

112
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:36,200
You got it.

113
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,080
Step three is building that emergency fund.

114
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:39,280
The safety net.

115
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:40,520
Exactly.

116
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,120
Odetta recommends having at least six months

117
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,160
of living expenses saved up.

118
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,040
And remember, this is based on that lower survival number

119
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:49,080
we figured out before.

120
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,240
Right, because your needs have changed, theoretically.

121
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:52,120
Exactly.

122
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,240
Like a safety net while you're transitioning

123
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,000
to those new income streams.

124
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,760
And let's be honest, there might be some bumps on the road.

125
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,320
Unexpected stuff happens.

126
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:02,480
It does.

127
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,200
She's honest about this, too.

128
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,680
Building that emergency fund takes work.

129
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,720
If you don't have a lot of savings,

130
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,920
she suggests being flexible with that 90-day timeline.

131
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:12,880
Maybe stretch it out a bit.

132
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:13,960
Gives you some breathing room.

133
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,080
Yeah, or explore things like selling stuff

134
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:17,480
you don't need anymore.

135
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,760
Or even picking up a temporary part-time job

136
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,000
just to speed things up.

137
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,680
It's about being resourceful, finding ways to make it happen.

138
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:25,800
Exactly.

139
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,320
So we got the survival number.

140
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:28,080
We're cutting back.

141
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:29,320
We're building that fund.

142
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:30,320
What's next?

143
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:31,400
This is where things get exciting.

144
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:32,480
Lay on me.

145
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,640
Odetta's step four is all about activating

146
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,040
additional income streams.

147
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,040
Multiple income streams, that's the goal.

148
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:38,880
And here's the key.

149
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,080
She says, start this while you still have your nine to five job.

150
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:42,920
Smart.

151
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:43,880
Ticks the pressure off.

152
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:44,760
Exactly.

153
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,360
You've got that steady income, so you can experiment,

154
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:48,800
try different things, build it up.

155
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,920
Without that panic of replacing your whole salary right away.

156
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:52,240
Right.

157
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,760
Now, Odetta is a huge advocate for content creation,

158
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,960
especially on YouTube and blogging.

159
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,440
She even shares her own experience, how she earned,

160
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,920
get this, $30,000 in a single month from YouTube.

161
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:04,560
Wow.

162
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:05,800
OK, that's inspiring.

163
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:06,600
It is.

164
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,000
And she believes educational content is key.

165
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,640
It tends to generate more revenue.

166
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,160
People are looking for answers, solutions.

167
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:14,720
Right.

168
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,240
Her advice is to commit to a posting schedule

169
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,200
and be consistent, like three videos a week.

170
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:21,600
That keeps your audience engaged.

171
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:22,920
Bill is that momentum too.

172
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,520
And she's all about working smarter, not harder.

173
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:31,200
She suggests using vacation time to record content in advance.

174
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:32,880
So you're building up a library.

175
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,280
That's thinking ahead.

176
00:05:34,280 --> 00:05:37,360
And she also talks about using tools to make things easier,

177
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,800
like AI editing platforms, ones called Gling.

178
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,280
We'll link that in the show notes.

179
00:05:42,280 --> 00:05:43,080
Definitely.

180
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,920
Those tools could be a game changer.

181
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:47,320
But she's not just about YouTube.

182
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,400
She also talks about starting a blog, maybe

183
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:54,240
on a platform like blogger.com.

184
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:55,280
It's user-friendly.

185
00:05:55,280 --> 00:05:57,320
And you can monetize it with Google AdSense.

186
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,840
So you're creating content, providing value,

187
00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:01,400
and finding ways to earn from it.

188
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,720
Yeah, it's like planting seeds and then helping them grow

189
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,960
into this thriving garden.

190
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,080
That's a great analogy.

191
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:08,600
So content creation is one piece.

192
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:09,120
What else?

193
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,840
Well, Odetta also recommends building a membership platform.

194
00:06:11,840 --> 00:06:13,080
Oh, membership platforms.

195
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:14,320
Those are hot right now.

196
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:15,080
They are.

197
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:16,840
It's about using your skills and knowledge

198
00:06:16,840 --> 00:06:18,480
to offer something exclusive.

199
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,000
And get that recurring income.

200
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:20,640
Exactly.

201
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,560
It's like your own VIP club, where you share premium content

202
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,720
or services with paying members.

203
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,640
People are willing to pay for that extra value, that insider

204
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:29,680
access.

205
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,880
And it allows you to monetize your expertise

206
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,480
in a more direct way.

207
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,360
Instead of relying solely on ads,

208
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,480
which can be unpredictable.

209
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,840
Odetta's approach is to use different channels

210
00:06:39,840 --> 00:06:43,760
to promote it, like her YouTube, blog, social media,

211
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,880
to build up a list of potential subscribers.

212
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:47,360
Reaching out to people directly.

213
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:52,520
Yeah, and offering something truly valuable at a price that's

214
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,600
well, accessible, like maybe $50 a month.

215
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,200
It's about building those relationships,

216
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,000
proving that you deliver what you promise.

217
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,480
That's where the ethics come in.

218
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:01,800
It's not about exploiting anyone.

219
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,160
It's about genuine value.

220
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,600
A win-win for everyone involved.

221
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,520
So content check, membership platform check.

222
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:11,920
But wait, there's more.

223
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:13,080
Always more.

224
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,800
Odetta also recommends looking into affiliate programs.

225
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,600
Ah, affiliate marketing, another income stream.

226
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,160
Yep, it's for products or services

227
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,080
that fit with the content you're already creating.

228
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,520
You're basically recommending things you believe in

229
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,400
and earning a commission on those referrals.

230
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,840
She mentioned some popular ones, like Go High Level,

231
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,360
ClickFunnels, System.io.

232
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:32,920
But there are tons out there.

233
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,760
It's finding the right fit for your niche and your audience.

234
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,560
So we've got the YouTube, the blog, the membership,

235
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,320
the affiliates all working together.

236
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:41,840
Now what?

237
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,040
Time to scale it all up.

238
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:44,400
You got it.

239
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,360
Odetta stresses the importance of scaling

240
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:47,920
and having that long-term vision.

241
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,600
So this 90-day plan, it's just the beginning.

242
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:51,760
It's a foundation.

243
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,120
It's about building that solid base

244
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,840
and then scaling up your efforts, maybe reaching six

245
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,320
or even seven-figure income in a few years.

246
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,000
Wow, those are big goals.

247
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:02,640
They are.

248
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,080
And she's honest about the challenges.

249
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:06,800
It takes time and effort to get there.

250
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:07,880
No shortcuts.

251
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:08,560
Nope.

252
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,360
She shares this really inspiring story

253
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,600
about this man who wanted to start a rental car company

254
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:14,640
in Jamaica.

255
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,880
He quit his job, bought a few cars, and then disaster struck.

256
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:19,920
Oh, no.

257
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:20,840
What happened?

258
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,840
Well, he was renting those cars to tourists who, let's just

259
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,440
say, weren't used to driving on the left side of the road.

260
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:28,720
Oh, I see where this is going.

261
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:29,640
Yeah, he lost everything.

262
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,240
Had to swallow his pride and go back to his old job.

263
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:32,920
That's rough.

264
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:34,560
But it's a good lesson, too, right?

265
00:08:34,560 --> 00:08:35,880
Stepbacks happen.

266
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,680
It shows how unpredictable this whole entrepreneurial journey

267
00:08:38,680 --> 00:08:41,040
can be, but he didn't give up, did he?

268
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:41,600
He didn't.

269
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:42,680
Not at all.

270
00:08:42,680 --> 00:08:46,120
He went back, launched the rental car company again,

271
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,120
and this time, with more experience,

272
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,200
he built it into one of the biggest private rental

273
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:51,320
companies in Jamaica.

274
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:52,520
Talk about resilience.

275
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:53,400
That's incredible.

276
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:54,680
It really is.

277
00:08:54,680 --> 00:08:58,200
It just shows the power of not giving up on your dreams.

278
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,160
So let's bring this back to you, the listener.

279
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:00,600
Yeah.

280
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,240
What stood out to you the most from Odetta's approach so far?

281
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:05,800
Yeah, what's resonating with you?

282
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,320
What parts seem doable?

283
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,920
What parts seem maybe more challenging given your situation?

284
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,080
It's a lot to take in.

285
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,800
But remember, it's all about taking that first step,

286
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:15,880
no matter how small.

287
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,600
It's about starting that journey.

288
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:18,280
Exactly.

289
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,200
We'll be right back after a quick break.

290
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,440
It's not like a one-size-fits-all thing,

291
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,160
but it gives you a framework, a way

292
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,280
to think about this whole life change strategically.

293
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,080
And that's what I like about Odetta's method.

294
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:30,840
It's practical.

295
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,560
It's real, and it empowers you to take control.

296
00:09:34,560 --> 00:09:35,000
Yeah.

297
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,680
You're not just waiting for something to happen.

298
00:09:36,680 --> 00:09:37,760
You're making it happen.

299
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,840
And she gets that sometimes.

300
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:41,000
Things don't go as planned.

301
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:41,280
Right.

302
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:42,560
There's no guarantees.

303
00:09:42,560 --> 00:09:45,440
But even if you don't quit your job on day 90,

304
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,760
she says you've still gained a lot.

305
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:48,920
You've got momentum.

306
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:50,520
You've got those income streams going.

307
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,200
You're further along than you were before.

308
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:53,000
Exactly.

309
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:54,360
It takes the pressure off.

310
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:55,840
It's not about hitting that deadline.

311
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,120
It's about making progress.

312
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,200
Moving forward step by step.

313
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:01,840
Yeah.

314
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,320
And that brings us back to that story,

315
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,640
the one about the guy who wanted to start a rental car

316
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,440
company in Jamaica.

317
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:11,560
He took that leap, quit his job, got the cars,

318
00:10:11,560 --> 00:10:13,760
and then, well, it all went wrong.

319
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:14,440
Oh, right.

320
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:15,280
That story.

321
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:16,520
Didn't go so well at first.

322
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:17,240
Not at first.

323
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,960
He was renting the cars to tourists who, well, let's just

324
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,640
say they weren't used to driving on the left side of the road.

325
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,000
Yeah, I can see the problem.

326
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:25,840
He lost it all.

327
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:27,480
Had to go back to his old job.

328
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:28,280
Pretty humbling.

329
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:29,000
It happens, though.

330
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,120
Those setbacks, they're part of the process.

331
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:31,880
It's tough.

332
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,520
But he didn't give up on his dream, did he?

333
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:34,400
He didn't.

334
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:35,760
Wow, what did he do?

335
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,720
He went back, started the company again,

336
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,560
and this time, with that experience under his belt,

337
00:10:41,560 --> 00:10:43,760
he turned it into one of the biggest private rental

338
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,040
companies in Jamaica.

339
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:46,480
No way.

340
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,280
Talk about a comeback story.

341
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:49,440
That's incredible.

342
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:50,720
It really is.

343
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,560
Shows you the power of perseverance,

344
00:10:54,560 --> 00:10:56,000
learning from those mistakes.

345
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,960
Not letting those setbacks define you.

346
00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:58,560
Exactly.

347
00:10:58,560 --> 00:11:00,200
And I think that's what Odette is getting at.

348
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,840
This 90-day plan, it's not about being perfect.

349
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,360
It's about being resilient, resourceful.

350
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,440
Adapting to whatever gets thrown your way.

351
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,680
So let's think about you for a minute, the listener.

352
00:11:12,680 --> 00:11:16,360
What parts of Odette's plan really stood out to you?

353
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,960
Yeah, what clicked with your own goals, your aspirations.

354
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:24,040
That 90-day timeline, it might seem daunting to some.

355
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:24,880
It's a big commitment.

356
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:26,000
You've got to change your mindset.

357
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,600
It's a big shift, for sure.

358
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,320
But I think what Odette is saying is,

359
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,360
it's not just deed about the end goal.

360
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,160
It's about how you change along the way.

361
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,920
It's the journey itself, the learning, the growth.

362
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,560
Now, for those who are already familiar with online business

363
00:11:39,560 --> 00:11:43,560
entrepreneurship, some of Odette's stuff might seem...

364
00:11:43,560 --> 00:11:44,520
It's his six, yeah.

365
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,480
But even for those folks, I think there's wisdom in her approach.

366
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,200
She's always emphasizing, like, refining your strategies,

367
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,600
trying new things, staying ahead of the game.

368
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,960
Because the online world, it's constantly changing.

369
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,320
You got to adapt or get left behind.

370
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,960
And she talks about building a support system,

371
00:11:59,960 --> 00:12:01,880
surrounding yourself with people who get it.

372
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,280
Those who've been there, done that.

373
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,400
Yeah, it's so important to have that community,

374
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:06,680
especially when things get tough.

375
00:12:06,680 --> 00:12:10,600
People who can lift you up, offer advice, keep you accountable.

376
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,280
And Odette also gets into the nitty gritty of the financials.

377
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,360
Tracking your income and expenses,

378
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,680
understanding profit margins, reinvesting.

379
00:12:18,680 --> 00:12:20,240
The money stuff, can't forget that.

380
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,280
It's essential, no matter what kind of business you're running.

381
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:23,800
Makes sense.

382
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,200
Got to have a solid financial plan.

383
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,800
Now, some listeners might be wondering about those membership

384
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,440
platforms, the specifics.

385
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,640
Yeah, like, what kind of content to offer,

386
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:35,240
how to price it, what platform to use, all that.

387
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:36,240
Good questions.

388
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,520
And we can't get into every detail here.

389
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:39,000
Right.

390
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,640
But Odette, she recommends focusing on real value,

391
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:44,800
content that meets your audience's needs.

392
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,040
Give them what they want, what they're looking for.

393
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,840
Whether it's tutorials, resources, forums, coaching,

394
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,080
whatever, it's about delivering,

395
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:53,840
exceeding those expectations.

396
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:55,280
Make them glad they signed up.

397
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,520
She also suggests having different membership tiers.

398
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,040
Different levels of access at different prices.

399
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,520
Makes it more flexible, reaches more people.

400
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,160
And for the platform itself, there

401
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:06,560
are some good options out there.

402
00:13:06,560 --> 00:13:09,880
Kajabi, Pudia, Thinkific, we'll link those in the show now.

403
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,440
So people can check them out, do their research.

404
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:13,800
Now, we've covered a lot today.

405
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,320
It can feel overwhelming.

406
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:16,480
A lot to digest.

407
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:20,560
But remember, this is a journey, not a sprint.

408
00:13:20,560 --> 00:13:23,560
It's about taking those small steps consistently.

409
00:13:23,560 --> 00:13:24,640
One foot in front of the other.

410
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:25,840
Celebrate those wins.

411
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,680
Learn from those setbacks.

412
00:13:28,680 --> 00:13:32,080
And remember why you started in the first place.

413
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:34,520
It's about creating a life with more freedom,

414
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,280
flexibility, being able to spend time doing what you love

415
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:39,280
with the people you love.

416
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,360
Now, that's a goal worth striving for.

417
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,560
And speaking of spending time with loved ones,

418
00:13:43,560 --> 00:13:46,560
let's go back to that story about Odette's family,

419
00:13:46,560 --> 00:13:49,720
how her financial independence has changed their lives.

420
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,320
That was a heartwarming story.

421
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,200
Showed the impact it can have.

422
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:54,360
It's not just about the money.

423
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:55,600
It's about the ripple effect.

424
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,200
Creating a better life for everyone around you.

425
00:13:58,200 --> 00:13:59,920
Yeah, it's bigger than just yourself.

426
00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:01,640
It's about leaving a legacy.

427
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:02,480
Exactly.

428
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,280
And we'll be right back after this.

429
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,920
It's pretty amazing to see how that financial freedom

430
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,880
can change things, not just for you,

431
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:12,840
but for your whole family.

432
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,360
It really does, like a ripple effect.

433
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,120
Creates a better environment for everyone.

434
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,720
Odette talks about how it's allowed her to really be there

435
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,200
for her kids, make those memories,

436
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,200
teach them about hard work, following your passion.

437
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,400
It's about breaking free from that nine to five,

438
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,520
being in control of your own time.

439
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,120
And not genest time, right?

440
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,880
It's having the resources to support your family,

441
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:37,080
whatever they need, their dreams, education, travel.

442
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,120
Even just enjoying those everyday moments

443
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,240
without that financial stress hanging over you.

444
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:42,840
It gives you options, and those options,

445
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:44,600
well, they mean a lot for you and your family.

446
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:45,440
Definitely.

447
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,880
More security, happiness, all that good stuff.

448
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,920
So let's think about you for a second, the listener.

449
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,120
What would financial freedom look like for you?

450
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:54,960
Yeah, what dreams would you chase

451
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,320
if you had the time and the resources?

452
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,080
Really picture it, your ideal day.

453
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:00,200
Where would you go?

454
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,040
What passions would you bring back to life?

455
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:04,800
What would make you jump out of bed in the morning

456
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,080
excited for the day?

457
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,640
Odette, she challenges us to ask,

458
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,560
what can we do today to get closer to that?

459
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,280
Even if it's just a tiny step,

460
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,120
it's still a step in the right direction.

461
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:16,520
It's about changing your mindset,

462
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,160
believing in yourself, seeing those possibilities.

463
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,720
Shifting from scarcity to abundance.

464
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:24,320
And remember, this isn't about

465
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,440
becoming a millionaire overnight.

466
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,320
It's about making progress,

467
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:29,920
celebrating those milestones,

468
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,760
learning from those bumps in the road.

469
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,400
It's about enjoying the process, you know,

470
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,720
discovering what you're good at, learning new skills,

471
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,960
meeting people who inspire you.

472
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,360
As we wrap up this deep dive into Odette's 90 day plan,

473
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,040
I wanna leave you with this.

474
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:47,960
What if you could wake up every morning feeling excited

475
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,280
about the day, knowing you're living a life

476
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,720
that truly reflects your values, your dreams?

477
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,200
Imagine that feeling, that sense of purpose,

478
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,000
knowing you're building something special for yourself

479
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,160
and your loved ones.

480
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,280
That's the power of financial independence.

481
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:02,880
And it's closer than you think.

482
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:04,160
It starts with that first step,

483
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,280
believing in yourself, embracing the jury.

484
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,600
So go out there, make it happen,

485
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:12,240
start small, stay consistent, and never stop learning.

486
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:13,800
And that's it for today's deep dive.

487
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:14,760
Thanks for joining us.

488
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:25,760
We'll see you next time.
