| 0:00.0 | Hey there, what's up? Welcome to Sideosal School. My name is Chris Gilebo. |
| 0:11.5 | It's me tuning in today. Today's episode is part of a new feature we've been doing |
| 0:15.6 | called your first thousand dollars. I've actually been doing it for almost six |
| 0:19.2 | months now and as you might guess, it's all about how someone made their first |
| 0:23.0 | thousand dollars. I think it's really insightful to break down this entry point |
| 0:27.2 | to perhaps eventually going on to make a hundred thousand dollars or more. |
| 0:31.4 | But that's a much longer story. How does someone actually get started? And once |
| 0:35.4 | you begin to earn real money, the steps required to go to the next level, whether |
| 0:39.0 | it's a thousand to two thousand dollars or five thousand or ten thousand, whatever |

| 1:08.9 | first thousand dollars? How did she make it happen? What did it feel like and what |
| 1:12.3 | did she learn? She's got several insights for us here. So let's hear it from |
| 1:16.0 | Jennifer. I'll come back at the end with a quick wrap up. |
| 1:28.4 | Hello, hello. This is Jennifer Sobel, the creator of the belly dance |
| 1:32.5 | solution and feminine fire. And I was on side hustle school episode 1704. And |
| 1:40.0 | today I want to share with you the story of how I made my first thousand dollars |
