THEMES & TAKEAWAYS: We’ve just finished week 9 of Season III! We had a $0 startup story yesterday and a $400 story on Monday. Pretty much every week or two at the most we have someone who starts their income-generating project without spending any money whatsoever. On Monday, the college student who started a clothes reselling business really didn’t have any money, and the way he got his $400 in startup capital (to buy 30 shirts for resale) was by opening a credit card at Macy’s with a $400 limit, all of which he promptly spent on the shirts. Then, a week later, he doubled his money, and got to keep one of the shirts for himself—his original goal. This project went on to become a six-figure business as he transitioned into an image consultant. Creative thinking can take you far ... but of course, only when it’s combined with action. You can’t just have the idea to buy 30 shirts and sell them for twice as much as you paid. You actually have to try it. In today’s recap: We'll talk about eight ways that you can use to save time, and of course, we'll have an audio update from a previously featured story... this one is all about Sign Hustles.WHERE ARE THEY NOW: Today, we have an update from Pierce Marr, who was featured on the show in Ep. 126. Listen to the Weekly Recap to hear from Pierce himself! You can also check out his website, Pierce Marrs.
