Episode 2123
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. With that in mind, today’s feature comes from Rachel the Social Media Manager from Toronto. She has a day job she enjoys but—naturally—also has a side hustle that’s bringing in $4,000 a month. But what about her first $1,000—how did she make that happen, what did it feel like, and what did she learn?SEE ALSO:
