Notes from Chris
Episode 1030
THEMES & TAKEAWAYS: We’ve just finished week 43 of Season III! This week featured a Mom who finds love as a dating profile ghostwriter, an unplanned, plus-size modeling career, and a cultic coffee shop in Scotland. Let’s look today and how to review and grow your list of assets. In case you missed it, a few episodes back I encouraged you to make a list of all your assets.Remember: An asset is anything that holds or increases in value over time. Traditionally, this means real estate, stocks and bonds. That counts! But it could also mean lots of other stuff … a product you sell, royalties you earn, passive affiliate income, or any other number of things including the kinds of projects we look at just about every day here on Side Hustle School. Don’t have any assets according to this definition? Well, that’s okay—we’re going to work on that because you need them!Listen to the Weekly Recap to learn more!
