| 0:00.0 | Today we're going to talk about the power that you bring into your life when you set up a side hustle for yourself. |
| 0:05.1 | So you might be asking yourself, why would I want to have a side hustle? Why would I want to do something on the side, right? Well, let me ask you a question. Are you where you hoped you'd be or where you want to be in this stage in your life? You know, if the answer is no, then it may make sense for you to consider a side hustle. You see, lots of people end up stuck where they don't want to be. |
| 0:22.5 | And they're there because they think they're trapped in their current job to support their lifestyle. And a lot of people are going to be out of work or unable to work in their chosen field because AI is taking a lot of jobs. Now, I've even had to lay off my own daughter from my business, which is terrible. And of course, I'm helping her |
| 0:37.5 | build another business for herself. But we can do what she was doing for me through AI. And this is |
| 0:42.1 | going to happen to a lot of people. But that said, what if I were to tell you that many people |
| 0:46.1 | develop income streams that supplement and eventually surpass their current income? And it's often |
| 0:51.3 | done as little 10 to 12 hours a week. It's called a side hustle. |
| 0:55.0 | And with the use of the incredible constantly evolving and improving technology like AI, |
| 0:59.7 | it's a lot easier than you might think. But here's what you need to realize. And that is, |
| 1:03.5 | if you're not working your own dream, you're very likely helping someone else build theirs. |
| 1:08.4 | Now, I would tell you not to work eight hours for someone else's |
| 1:11.3 | company and not also be working your own goals and dreams. In other words, if you're working a |
| 1:15.8 | nine to five, you should also be working a five to nine, right? You really have two big choices |
| 1:21.3 | in this life, accept and love things the way they are, or take 100% responsibility and |
| 1:27.2 | ownership for your life and for your dreams and for the dreams of your family and make a change. Now at the end of your life, you're going to be a lot more disappointed with the things that you didn't do than the things you did. So, you know, when you lay in bed in the morning and you have a choice. You can keep sleeping or you can jump up and chase your dream. And you see a side hustle allows you to create opportunities for yourself. |
| 1:47.0 | While you're also building your own skills and you're building relationships and you're making contacts that'll be instrumental in building that life you want and deserve. |
| 1:55.0 | And I'll tell you to do whatever you have to do until you're ultimately able to do whatever you want to do. |
| 2:00.0 | Let me say that again. Do whatever you have to do until you're ultimately able to do whatever you want to do. Let me say that again. Do whatever you have to do until you're ultimately able to do whatever you want to do, right? In other words, grind for a few years like most people won't, so you live the rest of your life like most people can't. Now, I've got a sign on my desk that says, what would you do if you knew you couldn't fail? Again, what would you do? You've got to push outside your comfort. You've got to push past your fear to get something started. Now, when we're working hard in something we really don't care about, that's called stress. When we're working in something we truly love, that's called passion. So find what it is you love and get started. Start that side hustle. Tens of millions of people |
| 2:35.7 | have side hustle. Scores of them were created during COVID and a lot more are going to be created |
| 2:40.0 | by people dislocated by AI. Now the benefits of a side hustle don't just include money. They |
| 2:45.7 | include a deep sense of satisfaction, satisfaction with your life. So what are some examples of a side? |
| 2:51.6 | And also really, the list is endless. It includes things like, you know, maybe starting an online |
