1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,400
Hey everyone, welcome back.

2
00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:03,120
Today we're gonna be doing a deep dive

3
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:04,760
into this YouTube video I found.

4
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:05,600
Oh yeah.

5
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:07,080
Yeah, it's by Rachel Howe.

6
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:11,160
And it's called, I built eight income streams in six months.

7
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:12,240
Here's what I learned.

8
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:13,320
Okay.

9
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:14,960
So we're gonna try to figure out,

10
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:18,240
can anyone really build multiple income streams?

11
00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:19,080
Cool.

12
00:00:19,080 --> 00:00:21,040
Like what can we learn from Rachel's journey?

13
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:22,120
You know?

14
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:23,560
Maybe even get inspired

15
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:25,800
and learn a little bit about diversifying income.

16
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:26,640
Yeah.

17
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:27,480
Especially these days.

18
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:28,600
I think a lot of people are thinking about that.

19
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,320
So this is gonna be a good deep dive.

20
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,440
Yeah, I think Rachel's story is,

21
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,280
it's especially relevant now

22
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,120
with the way things are changing so quickly.

23
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,360
Yeah, it's a good example of how to be adaptable.

24
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:41,200
Right, exactly.

25
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:42,640
Being adaptable, resourceful.

26
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,640
I was really interested in how she got started

27
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,040
during the pandemic lockdown.

28
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:49,600
Oh wow, okay.

29
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,600
And she had all this extra time.

30
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:52,440
Right.

31
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,800
And instead of just binge watching Netflix,

32
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:59,440
she decided to follow her curiosity and explore new things.

33
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:00,960
You know, I've heard that before.

34
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,080
Follow your curiosity, not your passion.

35
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:04,920
Right?

36
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:05,760
That's interesting.

37
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:06,600
Totally.

38
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:07,640
And look where it led her.

39
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,840
Eight income streams in just six months.

40
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:11,680
Wow.

41
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,280
So let's break down these eight streams.

42
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,480
Okay, first of all, her foundation is her full-time job.

43
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,160
Of course, yeah.

44
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:19,560
You know, that makes sense.

45
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,760
It's smart to have that stable base

46
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:23,840
while you're experimenting with other things.

47
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:24,680
I think so.

48
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,080
Especially if you're just starting out,

49
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,920
you know, thinking about multiple income streams,

50
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,760
having that full-time job to fall back on,

51
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:31,760
helps you experiment.

52
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,080
Gives you that security.

53
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:34,280
Okay, so that's one stream,

54
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,360
but here's where it gets really interesting.

55
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,720
She started freelancing as a UI UX designer.

56
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:40,720
Oh, cool.

57
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,000
And get this, in 2021 alone,

58
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,200
she worked on 19 projects for clients

59
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:48,800
in all sorts of industries.

60
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:49,640
Wow.

61
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:50,480
All around the world.

62
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:51,320
Yeah.

63
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,040
I mean, how does she even land 19 projects in a single year?

64
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:55,680
How did she find all these clients?

65
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,360
Well, you know, it sounds like she started out

66
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,680
just taking any design job she could find,

67
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,520
even if it meant not getting paid that much at first.

68
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,000
Just to build experience

69
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,920
and figure out what she really enjoyed doing.

70
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:07,880
Yeah, and it's interesting,

71
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:08,960
because she says in the video

72
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,840
that she didn't even know what UI UX design was

73
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,080
two years before that.

74
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:13,920
Yeah.

75
00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:16,600
So it really shows you can learn new skills.

76
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:17,720
Yeah, absolutely, yeah.

77
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,160
And create new opportunities for yourself.

78
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:25,000
Okay, so she was strategic about building her portfolio,

79
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,440
getting her name out there.

80
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:27,280
For sure.

81
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,480
But wait, there's more.

82
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,440
Her freelance journey didn't stop there.

83
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:33,400
Oh.

84
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,280
She also learned webflow development

85
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,080
and started offering those services too.

86
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,120
So what is webflow development exactly?

87
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:41,920
So it's this website building platform

88
00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:43,360
that's becoming super popular.

89
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:44,960
Instead of like writing code,

90
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,080
you can visually design and build websites.

91
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,040
And she found that a lot of people needed help,

92
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,520
like with small tweaks and updates to their webflow sites.

93
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,080
Oh, right, like just little things.

94
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,200
Yeah, so she started offering like hourly rates

95
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:58,400
for that kind of stuff.

96
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,440
Updating content, adding new sections,

97
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:01,800
fixing design elements.

98
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:02,640
That's a good idea.

99
00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:03,480
Right.

100
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,960
It's amazing how she turned something she enjoyed

101
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:07,400
into another income stream.

102
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,360
Okay, now this next one I think is really fascinating.

103
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:12,680
Her YouTube channel.

104
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,000
And what's crazy is it blew up in just three months.

105
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,040
Oh, wow, that's quick.

106
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:18,200
She started it to, you know,

107
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,200
leave a legacy, share her knowledge.

108
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,600
But it actually became a source of income through AdSense.

109
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:24,440
Through AdSense.

110
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,920
So AdSense is basically how Google pays you

111
00:03:26,920 --> 00:03:29,080
for running ads on your YouTube videos.

112
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:30,480
The more views you get,

113
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,200
the more you can potentially earn.

114
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:33,040
Interesting.

115
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:33,880
Right.

116
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,600
And she was actually very transparent

117
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,760
about the tax implications of AdSense income,

118
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,520
which I thought was important to mention,

119
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:40,640
you know, for anyone who's thinking about

120
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:41,560
starting a YouTube channel.

121
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:42,400
Right.

122
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,600
So are we all starting YouTube channels now?

123
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:45,440
I don't know.

124
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:46,280
Yeah.

125
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:47,760
But seriously, there's a valuable lesson there

126
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,720
about sharing what you know.

127
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,920
Okay, on to the next income stream digital products.

128
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:54,760
Okay.

129
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,080
This is where things get really interesting

130
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:57,440
in terms of scalability.

131
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:58,840
Right, right.

132
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,840
She talked about creating resume templates as an experiment.

133
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:03,680
Okay.

134
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,840
And selling them through Gumroad.

135
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,760
So tell me more about digital products.

136
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,160
Like what is that all about?

137
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:10,880
Well, digital products are a great way

138
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:12,560
to kind of leverage your effort.

139
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,840
You create something once, like a template,

140
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:15,960
an ebook, a course.

141
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:16,800
Right.

142
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,360
And then you sell it over and over again.

143
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:19,280
Passive income.

144
00:04:19,280 --> 00:04:20,120
Exactly.

145
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,160
You can be sleeping and people are still buying it.

146
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:23,000
I like that.

147
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,600
Gumroad is a platform where you can sell

148
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:26,600
these digital products.

149
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,800
It takes care of the payments and delivery.

150
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,240
So Raituk started with resume templates.

151
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:32,880
Just as a simple way to try it out.

152
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:33,840
Yeah, tip or toes in.

153
00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:34,680
Exactly.

154
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:35,520
See if she liked it.

155
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:36,340
Okay.

156
00:04:36,340 --> 00:04:37,180
That makes sense.

157
00:04:37,180 --> 00:04:38,800
So you're saying if I create a really awesome

158
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,480
resume template, then I could just sit back and relax.

159
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,080
Well, not exactly, but you know,

160
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,120
it can generate passive income.

161
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:46,760
Right.

162
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,320
And then you can do it over time,

163
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,440
which can be a game changer.

164
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:51,600
I like the sound of that.

165
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:52,040
Yeah.

166
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:52,240
Okay.

167
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,800
Now on to something a little different, affiliate income.

168
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:55,440
Okay.

169
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,880
So she mentioned earning commissions from Amazon

170
00:04:57,880 --> 00:04:59,480
and Webflow.

171
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:03,680
It's interesting how one income stream can lead to another.

172
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:04,800
So how does that work?

173
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,480
So basically she recommends products that she uses

174
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,640
and enjoys on our YouTube channel and website.

175
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,720
And she includes these special links called affiliate links.

176
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:14,560
Oh, right.

177
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:15,880
To those products.

178
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,760
So she gets a link and buys something.

179
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:19,440
She gets a commission from the company.

180
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:20,840
So it's kind of a win-win-win.

181
00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:21,880
Yeah, exactly.

182
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,680
She gets to share recommendations.

183
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,480
Her audience gets some good tips.

184
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:26,920
And the companies get sales.

185
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:27,440
Makes sense.

186
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:28,880
That's a smart strategy.

187
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:29,320
Okay.

188
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:30,120
We're on a roll.

189
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:30,880
What's next?

190
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:31,440
Let's see.

191
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:32,920
Next up is investment.

192
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:33,480
Okay.

193
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,960
Now, Rachel mentions in the video that she's pretty low risk.

194
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:40,080
She uses robo advisors mostly and a little bit of cryptocurrency.

195
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:40,920
Oh, interesting.

196
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,160
That's something I think a lot of people are curious about,

197
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:44,600
but maybe a little intimidated by.

198
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:45,400
Yeah, yeah.

199
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:50,120
So robo advisors, and what does she mean by dabbling in cryptocurrency?

200
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,880
So robo advisors are like these online platforms.

201
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,360
They use algorithms to manage your investments.

202
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:56,880
Okay.

203
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,440
You answer some questions about your goals and your risk tolerance.

204
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,680
And then it recommends a portfolio for you.

205
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,000
It's great for people who are new to investing.

206
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,600
Or maybe don't have a lot of time to manage it themselves.

207
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:08,520
Exactly.

208
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:13,120
As for the cryptocurrency, it sounds like she's just investing small amounts.

209
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:14,040
To kind of learn about it.

210
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,360
Yeah, just to get her feet wet.

211
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:16,680
Exactly, yeah.

212
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,200
Not trying to get rich quick.

213
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:22,040
Right, which is a good approach with something as volatile as crypto.

214
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,240
Okay, so that's seven income streams.

215
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:25,600
Each one is so different.

216
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:26,760
What's the last one?

217
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,800
The eighth one is selling pre-loved items.

218
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:30,160
Oh, okay.

219
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,280
She uses carousel, which is an app for buying and selling used stuff.

220
00:06:34,280 --> 00:06:34,800
Oh, I love that.

221
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,320
It's a great way to declutter.

222
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:36,920
Yeah.

223
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,280
And make a little extra cash.

224
00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:40,200
Exactly, yeah.

225
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:41,720
And it's environmentally friendly.

226
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,440
You're giving things a second life.

227
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:43,840
Right.

228
00:06:43,840 --> 00:06:47,080
It's all about that circular economy, less waste.

229
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:48,840
Okay, so there you have it.

230
00:06:48,840 --> 00:06:51,120
Eight income streams.

231
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:52,800
But it's not just about the number.

232
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,120
I'm really curious about the lessons she learned along the way.

233
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:57,200
That's the real gold.

234
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:58,160
Yeah, absolutely.

235
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,080
Building multiple income streams, it's not just about the money, right?

236
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,280
It's about the skills, the mindset, the freedom.

237
00:07:04,280 --> 00:07:05,920
And that's what we're going to dive into next.

238
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:06,720
Okay, I'm ready.

239
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,560
It's amazing how Rachel doesn't just talk about systems.

240
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:10,120
You know?

241
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:10,360
Right.

242
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:14,800
She actually shows you the systems she uses to manage it all.

243
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,040
Yeah, she gets into the specifics, which I appreciate.

244
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,880
For example, she blocks out time for email.

245
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:21,600
Oh, smart.

246
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,240
So she's not constantly checking it all day long.

247
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:24,880
Yeah.

248
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,120
She even has templates for common replies.

249
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:28,320
Wow.

250
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,720
And she uses Notion to keep everything organized.

251
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,160
I love Notion.

252
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:33,560
Yeah, me too.

253
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,000
It's like my second brain.

254
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:35,920
Totally.

255
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,760
It's all about working smarter, not harder, right?

256
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:39,000
Right.

257
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,960
Your systems free up so much mental space.

258
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:41,440
Totally.

259
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,440
Like what could you systematize in your own work to be more productive?

260
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,440
Ooh, that's a good question.

261
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,400
You know what else really resonated with me?

262
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,520
The importance of diversifying income.

263
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:53,920
Yeah, that's huge.

264
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,440
It's easy to forget when you're comfortable.

265
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:56,120
Right.

266
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:56,760
Right.

267
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,560
But Rachel shared some stories about clients disappearing,

268
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,480
where people getting laid off unexpectedly.

269
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:03,400
Oof.

270
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:04,720
Yeah, that's scary.

271
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,360
It really highlights why you shouldn't rely on just one income source.

272
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:08,840
Definitely.

273
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,080
Like a safety net.

274
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:10,400
Right.

275
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,000
It's not just about the money.

276
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,160
It's the peace of mind.

277
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:14,200
Exactly.

278
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,520
Having options gives you freedom.

279
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,120
Totally.

280
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaking of freedom, Rachel's story really shows

281
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:23,880
that everything is figureoutable.

282
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:24,840
That's so true.

283
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,160
She went from feeling lost financially

284
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,120
to building all these income streams.

285
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,560
You remember, she didn't even know what UIUX was.

286
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:32,520
I know.

287
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:33,200
It's amazing.

288
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:34,520
It really is inspiring.

289
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,880
It's all about resourcefulness and learning new things.

290
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:37,520
Exactly.

291
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:37,720
Right.

292
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,120
What's something you've always wanted to learn

293
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:40,040
but thought you couldn't?

294
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,120
Oh, that's a good one.

295
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,080
I'll have to think about that.

296
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:45,720
OK, so this next lesson is something

297
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,160
I struggle with for sure, busy work.

298
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:48,760
Oh, yeah.

299
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,920
It's so easy to get caught up in tasks that feel productive,

300
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:53,600
but aren't really moving you forward.

301
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,040
It's like the illusion of progress.

302
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:56,480
Yes, exactly.

303
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,640
Rachel's term for it is perfect.

304
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,040
So how do you combat that?

305
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,240
Well, she suggests delegating, if you can.

306
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:02,800
OK.

307
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:04,040
And batch scheduling.

308
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,160
So like grouping similar tasks together.

309
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:06,640
Right.

310
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,600
Minimize those context switches.

311
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:09,480
Oh, that makes sense.

312
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:10,520
I need to do that more.

313
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,200
I'm always bouncing between things.

314
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:13,600
It's a productivity killer.

315
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:14,920
It really is.

316
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,960
OK, and to bring it full circle, Rachel

317
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:18,920
emphasizes following your curiosity.

318
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,280
Which ties back to what we were saying before about not

319
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,280
stressing over finding your passion.

320
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:23,840
Right.

321
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,000
Just follow your interests and see where they lead.

322
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:26,760
Exactly.

323
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,760
And the financial success often follows naturally.

324
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,120
Because you're building credibility and providing value.

325
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:32,360
Right.

326
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,760
People want to invest in what you're offering.

327
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,200
So true.

328
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,000
OK, now Rachel leaves us with a really powerful message.

329
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:39,880
Oh, yeah.

330
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:40,960
Your voice matters.

331
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:41,880
It does.

332
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,080
It's easy to feel like what we have to say isn't important.

333
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:45,720
Right.

334
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,880
But she encourages us to share our knowledge and experiences.

335
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:51,680
Even if it just reaches one person.

336
00:09:51,680 --> 00:09:52,920
Exactly.

337
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,000
And that's kind of what we're trying to do here, isn't it?

338
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,080
I think so.

339
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:57,560
Empowering people with knowledge.

340
00:09:57,560 --> 00:09:59,080
Inspiring them to take action.

341
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,920
Sharing your journey can have a ripple effect.

342
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:03,840
That's beautiful.

343
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,520
I love that.

344
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,960
So what resonated most with you from Rachel's story?

345
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:10,600
That's a good question.

346
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:11,560
We've covered a lot.

347
00:10:11,560 --> 00:10:12,400
I know, right.

348
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:13,880
It's important to let it all sink in.

349
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:15,080
Don't feel overwhelmed.

350
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:16,000
Yeah.

351
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,280
So we've really gone deep into Rachel's story, haven't we?

352
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:20,000
We have.

353
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,080
It's incredible.

354
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,640
Eight income streams in just six months.

355
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:24,440
It's amazing.

356
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,440
She really took action and turned curiosity into results.

357
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:28,960
Absolutely.

358
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,120
It shows what you can do with resourcefulness.

359
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:31,720
Right.

360
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:32,920
And a willingness to learn.

361
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:34,840
And some courage to try new things.

362
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,320
And what stood out to me were those lessons

363
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:38,440
she learned along the way.

364
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:39,760
Yeah, those are valuable.

365
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,520
It's not just about the specific income streams.

366
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:43,200
Right.

367
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:44,200
It's bigger than that.

368
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,360
It's about applying those lessons to anything you do.

369
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:48,200
Exactly.

370
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:49,400
Like building systems.

371
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:50,280
Yes.

372
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:51,880

Brainstorm some income stream ideas.
