February 5, 2015 is when I got my first job as a sales associate at TJMAXX, I was eighteen
years old at the time.
So here's a little background of how I think.
Even when I was about fifteen years old I did not wanna work for people it's that simple
before I even had work experience I knew damn well I would not wanna work for people simply
because I wanna make up my own hours I wanna make my own money I wanna have control of
the amount of money I make so my mind already was on entrepreneurship I used to do little
things back then like sale on eBay and mae kind of a lot of money actually but the thing
is I wasn't consistent with it and I was running out of items to sale so at about eighteen
years old I think I was a senior at the time I grabbed my very first job as a sales associate
I already knew I wouldn't like the job first of all my sister worked there so she referred
me and I was able to get the job easier here's the thing even the first day training there
I already had an idea that I would not like this job in the future the thing about retail
though is it's a good experience it teaches you people skills how to communicate well
with people and there were also some pretty cool people that worked there that I was connecting
with other than that the job itself sucked it felt like I was a little slave constantly
picking stuff up after people constantly re picking stuff up after people after I just
got done fixing it I couldn't stand the job and you could see it in my eyes that I hated
being there so today we're going to be discussing how to make money outside of a traditional
job I don't care what job you work right now you're most likely miserable I got fired June
22, 2017 and thank God I was crafting and building new skills in order to make money
or else I would've been slayed slayed my number one source of income is actually phone repair
for phone repair you need two type of skillset one is communication skills and second is
analyzing data so what do I mean by that first of all communication skills in terms of putting
yourself out there in order to tell people this is what it is I do this is what I do
this is how much I do it for this is when I'll finish what ever the thing is you gotta
be able to communicate it to the customer the second is being able to analyze the data
specially as an individual analyzing data pretty much means for example I did six phone
repairs this week and this is my first time starting off right this is an example this
is my first time starting off and I did six phone repairs out of the six phone repair
three of those screens was for iPhone six I gather that data I set it aside the other
six phones I fixed once again about three or four of them was iPhone six and the rest
of them was just random what patterns are you seeing there you're most likely gonna
be repairing iPhone sixes then any other phone so from that data I could pretty much order
more iPhone six screens just as like stock or inventory and then the rest I'm pretty
much gonna buy it depending on whether or not the person needs it so that way I'm not
wasting and I know damn well somebodies gonna come to me for an iPhone six becaue the chances
are higher so that's analyzing your data so what I would do back then when I had a job
is pretty much invest half of that money into ordering screens why because I know I could
multiply my money times two so for example if I spent $25 dollars on a screen I was able
to make $65 total meaning I get the $25 dollars back plus about $40 dollars profit I'm not
saying you have to do phone repair but find something you could invest your money into
so also wanna be able to put yourself out there and communicate your message well in
order for people to understand what it is that you do exactly there's a lot of things
out there as an individual that you can do in order to make an extra bit of income Photography
Blog YouTube on YouTube you could actually make residual income which means I put in
the work right now and I could go to sleep and still be reaping the benefits I'll still
be making money as long as you're able to strategize stay consistant on YouTube and
also grow an audience the potentials of earning residual income is endless in fact brands
are pretty much gonna start coming to you asking you to review their product n order
to make money I'm constantly getting about what?
Ten dollars every time I review a product from a specific person I'm not gonna say the
name now anyways I'm making residual income from YouTube my best video so far made me
$258 dollars I'm also making residual income from the Affiliate marketing which is linking
peoples product down below and every time somebody purchases I make a commision off
of it I'm making money off of that it's now that I'm reaping the benefits from the work
that I put in back in the past that's pretty cool that's the cool thing about YouTube that's
the cool thing about creating a residual income you control the amount of money you make based
on the amount of work you're willing to put into it the last way I'm able to continue
to make money outside of a traditional job and also feed myself is through online sale
believe it or not this actually feels like a life hack and here's why I never have to
drive over to USPS in order to send the product to the person I never had it in hand to begin
with instead I bought it from a company who's already gonna do all that anyways and sent
it directly to the person this way you're making money without putting your money at
risk meaning you don't spend unless somebody's buying if you learned anything from me today
let it be this you wanna diversify your stream of income meaning don't depend on one specific
thing to bring in revenue because once they cut that source for example that job once
you're fired from that job how are you gonna feed your kids how are you gonna pay your
bills how are you gonna feed your family how are you gonna take care of anything Thank

like this in the future.
