An artist in New Zealand uses her iPad to paint a sustainable side income.
Notes from Chris
Episode 1314
Welcome to Throwback Thursday / “Where are they now?” where we take an in-depth look at someone who’s story has evolved considerably since we first featured them. Today, in our latest feature, we’ll hear from Karin in Ep. 457: Kiwi Coder Makes Extra $50,000/Year from Digital Paintbrushes. I really liked this story and it’s a classic example of something that could only exist in this New Economy that we’re all experiencing. A lot has happened since we first featured Karin—she’s moved into a new apartment, thanks in part to that very healthy side income, and she’s also noticing how her industry is changing with more competitors, so she’s thinking ahead about her next steps.

Quote of the Day
"One of the things that's actually made a big difference is having an accountability group. It is a group of people who don't do exactly the same thing, but they have similar aspirations to myself."
