All right, let's jump into another deep dive.
We're going online today,
into the world of online entrepreneurship.
Ooh, exciting.
You guys have been asking about
how people build wealth online.
So we found an incredible story.
Awesome.
This is a deep dive into a YouTube video by Sarah Finance.
Okay.
And it's called,
How I Went From Broke to $4 Million at Age 22.
Wow, 22, that's young.
It's her story.
Okay.
The background is so interesting.
Single mom,
tough financial upbringing,
even dropped out of university.
Oh, wow.
So how did she build a high net worth so fast?
I mean, that's what's so amazing about this story, right?
Like it's not just some abstract success
that someone who a lot of people can relate to.
Like she's a real person
and she did something amazing.
Totally.
And she started working so young.
Oh, yeah.
Her first job was at 15 at Tim Hortons.
15?
Can you imagine?
40 hours a week while you're in high school.
Whoa, that's crazy.
I know.
You know, that kind of dedication that early,
it really shows her drive.
And it's more than just working hard, right?
I think it suggests that maybe even then
she was looking for something more than a traditional job.
I feel like maybe those early experiences were like
the spark that started her on the path
to becoming an entrepreneur.
Totally, totally.
Yeah.
And, you know, at first, Sarah wanted to be a pilot.
Oh, wow.
But flight school, so expensive.
Yeah.
It was a huge barrier.
Right.
And so she was forced to find other ways to make money.
That makes sense.
And that's what led her to the world of online business.
Interesting.
So she kind of had to pivot.
Yeah, she had to.
Yeah.
She pivoted.
And it's amazing how these roadblocks sometimes
can lead to unexpected paths.
Yeah.
Like for her, this setback led her to online business.
Right.
And on YouTube, she found all this information
about dropshipping, stock market investing, real estate.
Oh, wow.
It's crazy how much is accessible online these days.
It really is.
You can learn almost anything.
Yeah.
But it's a double-edged sword, right?
Oh, yeah.
Because it's easy to feel overwhelmed
with the amount of information.
That's so much info.
Yeah, like where do you even start?
Totally.
So I think the key is to not get distracted.
Right.
It's about finding what really speaks to you.
Yeah.
And it aligns with your skills, your passions.
Your interests.
Exactly.
You have to cut through all the noise.
Focus on what truly resonates with you.
Yeah.
And it sounds like Sarah figured that out.
OK.
While she was in college, she started experimenting.
OK.
With stock market trading and dropshipping.
Nice.
But then she made a really bold decision.
What's that?
She dropped out of university.
Whoa.
That's a big decision.
It is.
Especially when you think about it.
Yeah.
It goes against a lot of family expectations.
Like she was facing potential judgment.
It takes a lot of courage to do something like that.
It really does.
I mean, it was a real do or die moment
for her entrepreneurial dreams.
Yeah, it was.
And her family didn't support her decision either.
Can you imagine?
That's a lot of pressure.
Oh, much pressure.
It's like pursuing a dream, maybe one that some people see
as risky.
Right.
And not having your family behind you.
It's so hard.
It's so tough.
I can't even imagine.
Yeah.
But you know, it really says a lot
about her resilience, her belief in herself.
Yeah, totally.
And it's important to remember these moments of doubt.
Right.
Even isolation, they're often part of the journey to success.
Yeah.
It's not always easy.
Definitely not.
But this period led to her breakthrough, right?
Yeah, yeah.
Enter.
TikTok.
Uh-huh.
So back when TikTok was just starting to blow up,
Sarah saw its potential.
Oh, OK.
But, and this is what's interesting.
She didn't go the typical route, like dance videos
or entertainment.
Oh, interesting.
She created her own niche.
Oh, cool.
Yeah.
So what does she do?
Financial education.
Wow.
On TikTok.
That's brilliant.
I know.
He's so smart.
Such a clever approach.
It is.
She saw a gap in the market.
Yeah.
And she filled it.
Totally.
And she made learning about finances fun.
Yeah.
And accessible, especially for a younger audience.
Totally.
Who are starting to use the platform.
It's like she cracked the code.
Yeah, it really is.
Like what we were saying before, you know.
Right.
Find your niche.
Figure out what you're passionate about.
Totally.
And then use the tools you have to reach your audience.
Yeah.
That's a big one.
It is.
And speaking of reaching an audience.
OK.
That brings us to another element of Sarah's success.
Her personal brand.
Oh, interesting.
Yeah.
It's funny because personal brand can sound kind of vague
sometimes.
It does.
What does it really mean, like in the world of online business?
Yeah.
I mean, I guess it's about becoming an expert.
Well, yeah.
It's about positioning yourself as a trusted authority
in a specific area.
Right.
Building an audience that sees you as the go-to source.
Yeah, the go-to pressure.
For information.
Totally.
Within your chosen niche.
And Sarah did this so well, you know,
by being transparent about her journey.
Yeah.
Sharing her wins and losses.
Totally.
Staying true to her mission of empowering people
to take control of their finances.
So it's not about like presenting this perfect image.
Right.
It's about being relatable.
Yeah.
It's about being genuine.
Showing your true self.
Yeah.
And it feels like she's really strategic about how
she uses social media.
Oh, for sure.
Like she's on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest.
Wow.
It's like she has a different approach for each platform.
Yeah, exactly.
Does that make sense?
Absolutely.
I mean, it's not just about being on every single platform
out there.
It's about understanding how each one works.
Nice.
And tailoring your content accordingly.
OK, yeah.
So for instance, on TikTok, she's
got these short form videos, you know,
to grab people's attention with quick financial tips
and stories that everyone can relate to.
Yeah.
And then on YouTube, she has the space
to go deeper.
Oh.
Into more complex topics.
Tutorials, interviews, you know,
in-depth financial education.
It's like she's reaching different people.
Yeah, exactly.
Depending on what they're looking for.
Totally.
Casting a wider net.
Yeah, that's smart.
It is.
And she's also really open about, you know,
making money through affiliate marketing.
Oh, yeah, affiliate marketing.
Can you explain a little bit about that?
Yeah, so basically, it's a way for creators, you know,
people who make content online, to earn income
by recommending things they genuinely believe in,
products, services.
So they partner with companies, earn a commission
on any sales that are made through their unique referral
link.
Oh, OK.
It's really a win-win.
Right.
Because it lets creators make money from their content
while giving their audience valuable recommendations.
And I think it works so well for her.
Yeah.
Because she's very transparent about it.
Mm-hmm.
You know, it doesn't feel pushy.
No, not at all.
Because she only recommends things that fit with her brand
and her whole message of financial empowerment.
Right, it's like a natural part of her content.
Yeah.
Yeah, it feels very authentic.
Yeah.
But that's not her only source of income, is it?
Oh, no, not at all.
What else?
So she also makes money through online courses,
coaching programs, where she can, you know,
really use her expertise in a more focused way.
And remember those rental properties she mentioned?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
That's another smart move.
It is.
Holding long-term wealth through real estate.
Right.
So many young entrepreneurs, they
might spend their earnings on flashy purchases.
Yeah.
But Sarah's playing the long game.
That's smart.
It is.
Thinking about the future.
Yeah.
It's refreshing to see.
It is.
It really is.
But it all started with that leap of faith,
dropping out of university.
Right.
Going all in on her dream.
It was a big risk.
And it wasn't always easy, right?
No, definitely not.
I mean, she's talked about the challenges of the early days
of dropshipping and stock trading.
It's a learning curve.
It is.
It's all about learning from your mistakes.
Absolutely.
And it's so important to remember that.
Yeah.
Because it's easy to look at successful entrepreneurs
and think they have it all figured out.
Right.
But the reality is they've probably
faced tons of obstacles and failures along the way.
Right.
Everyone has.
Yeah.
It's all part of the process.
It is.
And what sets the successful ones apart?
What's that?
It's their ability to learn from those experiences.
OK.
And keep going.
So you can't be afraid to fail.
Yeah.
It's not about avoiding mistakes altogether.
Right.
It's about having the resilience to pick yourself up
and keep moving forward.
And that's a lesson for everyone, right?
Oh, absolutely.
It's not just for entrepreneurs.
No.
It's about developing that growth mindset, embracing
challenges, seeing them as opportunities,
and never losing sight of your vision.
It's so important.
It is.
And Sarah's story really shows us that.
She could have let her past define her, but she didn't.
She turned it into fuel.
It's a good reminder.
It is.
That we all have the power to shape our own destinies.
Totally.
To break free from limiting beliefs.
Yes.
And to achieve things that we might have thought impossible.
That's what it's all about.
And it all starts with that first step.
And then the next.
And the next.
Exactly.
It's a journey.
It is.
And Sarah's story proves it's a journey worth taking.
Absolutely.
So before we move on, what are some key things
you think that our listeners can learn?
A little question.
From Sarah's journey, especially if they're
thinking about starting their own online business.
So I think the first thing is to really hone in on your passion.
OK.
Find that niche that aligns with your skills and interests.
Yeah, like she did with financial education.
Exactly.
Once you have that, it's about building a strong personal brand
that reflects your values and expertise.
OK.
And don't be afraid to use different social media platforms.
Right, like she does.
To reach your target audience.
Yeah.
Be strategic about it.
Exactly.
Strategically.
And remember, there are so many ways to generate income online.
Affiliate marketing, online courses, coaching, digital products.
There's so many options.
So many.
Don't be afraid to explore.
Find what works best for you.
And I think more than anything, remember that success takes time.
Oh, yeah.
Effort.
Definitely.
And a willingness to learn and adapt.
Constant learning.
Yeah.
Embrace the journey, celebrate the wins, and learn from those setbacks.
They're all part of it.
They are.
It's all about that entrepreneurial spirit.
Yeah.
That drive to create something meaningful, to make a positive impact.
And Sarah shows us, you don't need a fancy degree.
Nope.
Or a ton of money to start.
Not at all.
It's all about mindset.
Hard work.
And courage.
Yeah, the courage to chase your dreams.
That's the key ingredient.
It is.
It really is.
And it's a good reminder that anything is possible.
Yeah.
If you set your mind to it and never give up.
So true.
It is.
All right.
Welcome back to our deep dive into Sara Finance.
Yeah.
Sara Finance, $4 million by age tunnel two.
It's amazing.
And last time we talked about her early hustle, dropping out
at university, that whole thing.
Bold move.
And her success on TikTok.
Right, with all the financial tips.
Yeah, she really resonated with her audience.
Absolutely.
And it's interesting how she took TikTok, a platform known
for entertainment, and turned it into this powerhouse
for financial education.
It's really cool.
And we talked about her building a strong personal brand.
Oh, yeah.
That's so important.
But I've got to say, personal brand, it's one of those terms.
Or he knew.
It always sounds kind of vague to me.
I does.
What does it actually mean?
Like for online business.
Yeah, yeah.
Like what are we talking about?
So basically, it's about establishing yourself
as a trusted authority in the specific area.
OK, so people see you as the go-to.
Exactly.
You're the go-to source.
For information.
Right, for guidance, for your niche.
OK, and Sara did that really well, right?
She did.
She was transparent about her journey,
shared the ups and downs.
Plans and losses.
Yeah, and stayed true to her mission,
empowering others to manage their money.
So it's not about pretending to be perfect.
No, no, it's the opposite.
It's about being relatable, being genuine.
Showing the real you.
Exactly.
And you know, I noticed she uses social media very strategically.
Oh, definitely.
She's on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest.
Wow, she's everywhere.
It's like she tailors her content for each one.
That's the key.
Yeah.
You can't just be on every platform.
You've got to understand each one.
OK.
And make content that fits.
OK, so what's different about, say, TikTok versus YouTube?
So TikTok, she's using short videos
to get people's attention.
Right, because they're short.
Quick tips, relatable stories, you know?
Yeah.
But YouTube, she's got more space.
She can dive deeper into topics.
Makes sense.
Tutorials, interviews, the whole shebang.
So she's reaching different people.
Totally, depending on what they like.
That's clever.
It is a wider net, you know?
Right, right.
And we talked about affiliate marketing
as one of her income streams.
Oh, yeah, that's a big one.
Can you remind us how that works?
Sure, so basically, creators earn income
by recommending stuff they like.
OK.
Products, services, whatever.
They partner with companies, get a special link.
And if someone buys through that link, they get a commission.
So it's a win-win, right?
Exactly, the creator gets paid.
Yeah.
And the audience gets good recommendations.
And I think what makes it work for Sarah,
is that she's transparent about it.
Right, she's not hiding it.
It doesn't feel like she's pushing something on you.
Nope, it feels genuine.
Because it aligns with her brand and her message.
Exactly, it's all connected.
Right, it feels authentic.
That's the key.
But affiliate marketing, it's not her only income, right?
No, she's got multiple streams.
What else does she do?
So she's also doing online courses.
OK, teaching people.
Coaching programs, yeah.
OK.
Where she can really share her expertise.
And then the rental properties.
Oh, yeah.
She's investing.
Smart move, building long-term wealth.
Right, most young entrepreneurs would probably
just spend the money.
I know, right.
But she's thinking ahead.
She is planning for the future.
It's refreshing to see.
Definitely.
But you know, it all started with that risk, dropping out.
That was a big one.
And it wasn't all easy, right?
Oh, no, there were bumps in the road.
Yeah, she talked about the challenges.
With dropshipping and stock trading.
Learning as you go.
It's all part of it.
And it's important to remember that.
Absolutely, because it's easy to look at successful people
and think they just got lucky.
Right, like it all came easy.
Yeah, but the reality is they probably
faced a ton of setbacks.
Everyone does.
And what separates those who succeed
is that they learn from those setbacks.
They don't give up.
Exactly, it's about resilience.
Peeking yourself up and trying again.
And that's a lesson for everyone, really.
It is.
It's about mindset.
Yeah, having a growth mindset.
Seeing challenges as opportunities.
Instead of roadblocks.
Exactly, never losing sight of your vision.
And Sarah really embodies that.
She does.
She could have let her past define her.
It would have been easy.
But she used it as fuel.
It's powerful.
It is.
It shows that we have control.
Over our lives.
Yeah, we can break free from limitations.
Achieve things we might have thought impossible.
That's the message.
And it all starts with taking that first step.
And then another, and another.
It's a journey, but Sarah shows us.
It's worth it.
Yeah, it really is.
And it's inspiring to see how grounded she stayed.
Oh yeah, that's important.
With all this success, it would be easy to get lost in it.
Definitely.
But she's got her head on straight.
She talks about her support network.
Her friends and family.
Yeah, and staying true to her values.
It's about recognizing that success isn't everything.
Right, there's more to life.
And she's using her platform to make a difference.
Which is awesome.
It is.
It's about contributing.
And it's about defining success on your own terms.
Exactly, not by society standards.
And that resonates beyond just business.
It does, it's about life in general.
Living authentically.
And Sarah's doing that.
She's building a life that reflects her priorities.
And that includes being a mom.
Right, we can't forget that.
She built all this while raising a child.
Which adds a whole other layer to her story.
It does, it's incredible.
All right, welcome back to our deep dive.
Yeah, final part.
Into the world of Sarah Finance.
It's been a journey.
We've covered a lot.
Yeah.
Her early hustle.
Using social media strategically.
Multiple income streams.
But now, let's get a little personal.
Okay.
Because it's easy to get caught up in the numbers,
achievements, all that.
The external stuff.
But behind every entrepreneur.
There's a person.
Yeah, with real challenges and triumphs.
A human story.
And Sarah's a great example.
Yeah.
She built this amazing business while being a young mom.
That's not easy.
It's a reminder that entrepreneurship, it's not just

Between professional goals and personal life.
It's tough.
And Sarah's honest about the struggles.
She isn't shy away from the challenges.
Of being a mom in the business world.
Exactly, she talks about the long nights.
Yeah.
The constant juggling act.
It's never ending.
Feeling guilty sometimes.
Oh yeah.
About not spending enough time with her child.
That's real.
So many working parents can relate to that.
Absolutely.
And it makes her success even more impressive.
It does.
Because it shows, even when you achieve things.
Yeah.
You still face challenges.
Life doesn't stop.
Right, it's about navigating them.
Prioritizing.
Yeah.
And creating a fulfilling life.
On all levels.
And I'm struck by how grounded Sarah seems.
Oh yeah, that's huge.
I'm amidst all the success.
It's easy to get swept up in it all.
Right, the money, the attention.
But she stayed true to herself.
She talks about her support network.
Yeah, the people who keep her grounded.
Friends, family.
It's so important.
And staying connected to her values.
That's key.
Using her platform for good.
It's about more than just personal gain.
Right, it's about making a difference.
Contributing to something bigger.
Defining success on your own terms.
Not letting society dictate it.
And that message, it goes beyond just business.
Absolutely, it's about life.
Living authentically.
Yeah.
And Sarah's a great example.
Building a life that aligns with her values.
And that includes motherhood.
Exactly.
She's a mom first.
It's a part of her identity.
And she's found a way to make it all work.
Inspiring.
So as we wrap up.

What do you think it is about Sarah's story?
Good question.
That resonates with people.
I think it's her authenticity.
OK.
She's vulnerable, real.
Yeah.
But she's also driven.
Super-trivet.

Makes her relatable.

No.
To achieve your goals.
It's OK to be imperfect.
Right.
And her story shows that financial freedom.
It's achievable for anyone.
If you're willing to work for it.
Be resourceful.
Seize opportunities.
