| 0:00.0 | Hey, what's up everybody? Welcome to Side Us Little School. I'm so glad you were tuning in today. |
| 0:09.8 | Thank you for taking a few minutes out of your day to invest in yourself. |
| 0:12.8 | And hear about the world of money making projects that you can start without quitting your job |
| 0:18.3 | by, as I said, investing in yourself. That's what this is about. Everyone out there is busy. |
| 0:22.8 | We've all got lots of different responsibilities and such. But somehow, all the different |
| 0:26.6 | case studies that we have featured on the podcast have found a way to say, you know what? I know |
| 0:31.4 | I'm busy right now, but I need to do something so that I can have a different future than I have |
| 0:36.1 | in the present, right? That I can be tomorrow can be better than today and so on. That's what it's |
| 0:40.5 | all about ultimately. And also, I believe we can learn as much from failure as we can from success. |
| 0:46.4 | Something I've been trying to feature this year. We tell a lot of success stories, of course. That's |

| 1:09.4 | Dorebretklee from side uslers who have struggled in some way. They'll tell you this quick story |
| 1:13.1 | of something that went wrong. Often it starts with an idea. It's like I had this idea to do something. |
| 1:17.4 | I thought it was going to turn out one way, but of course it ended up turning out differently. |
| 1:21.2 | And what they learned along the way. So I really appreciate the courage and vulnerability |
| 1:26.4 | of everyone who's been sharing these stories. Today's story features Katie from Orange County. |
| 1:31.6 | By day, she is a client services manager at an environmental consulting firm. And we told the |
| 1:36.4 | successful story of her evenings and weekends project. Way back on episode 664, |
| 1:42.5 | ballroom dance enthusiast, triples side income with how to guide. |
