Notes from Chris
Episode 2025
Today’s episode is part of a new feature we’re doing in 2022 called ‘Your First $1,000.’ As you might surmise from the title, this is all about how someone made their first $1,000. How did they get to that point? Not their first $100,000—that’s cool, but it would probably be a long story. One thing I’ve learned is that once you begin to earn real money, the steps required to go to the next level—whether it’s $1,000 to $2,000, or even to $5,000 or $10,000 are often easier than that first real paycheck. Apparently, it’s Las Vegas month on the podcast because last week we heard from a guy in Las Vegas who starts a tutoring business focused on the ASVAB, the U.S. Military entrance test. Today we’re going to hear from Brian Rouff, who has a second job as a ghostwriter. He’s done a lot of different projects, several of which he’ll mention in his update.
