  the

  is,
• 0:37
  most
• 0:37
  people
• 0:37
  overlook
• 0:37
  this
• 0:37
  completely.
• 0:37
  They
• 0:37
  assume
• 0:37
  monetizing
• 0:37
  skills
• 0:37
  is
• 0:37
  only
• 0:37
  for
• 0:37
  those
• 0:37
  experts
• 0:37
  or
• 0:37
  people
• 0:37
  with
• 0:37
  certifications
• 0:37
  per
• 0:37
  people
• 0:37

  made

  it.

  the

  hiding
• 0:37
  in
• 0:37
  some
• 0:37
  new
• 0:37
  opportunity?

  What
• 0:37
  if
• 0:37
  it's
• 0:37
  already
• 0:37
  inside
• 0:37
  you?

  That's

  what

  today.

  So

  income
• 0:37
  without

  starting
• 0:37
  from
• 0:37
  scratch?
• 0:37
  By

  the

  here's
• 0:37
  what
• 0:37
  you're
• 0:37
  going
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  know.
• 0:37
  You're
• 0:37
  going
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  know
• 0:37
  how
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  identify
• 0:37
  skills
• 0:37
  people
• 0:37
  will
• 0:37
  actually
• 0:37
  pay
• 0:37
  for.
• 0:37
  How
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  package
• 0:37
  them
• 0:37
  simply
• 0:37
  without

  things,

  and

  how
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  start
• 0:37
  monetizing
• 0:37
  them
• 0:37
  in
• 0:37
  a
• 0:37
  way
• 0:37
  that
• 0:37
  fits
• 0:37
  your
• 0:37
  season
• 0:37
  of
• 0:37
  life.
• 0:37
  This
• 0:37
  isn't
• 0:37
  about
• 0:37
  hype.
• 0:37
  It's
• 0:37
  not
• 0:37
  about
• 0:37
  overwhelm.
• 0:37
  Just
• 0:37
  a
• 0:37
  clear
• 0:37
  path
• 0:37
  forward.
• 0:37
  Hey,
• 0:37
  friend.
• 0:37
  Ralph
• 0:37
  Estep
• 0:37
  Jr.
• 0:37
  Here.
• 0:37
  Welcome
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  Financially
• 0:37
  Confident
• 0:37
  Christian,
• 0:37
  where
• 0:37
  we
• 0:37
  learn
• 0:37
  how
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  walk
• 0:37
  through
• 0:37
  life
• 0:37
  and
• 0:37
  money
• 0:37
  with
• 0:37
  wisdom,
• 0:37
  with
• 0:37
  peace,
• 0:37
  and
• 0:37
  with
• 0:37
  a
• 0:37
  heart
• 0:37
  anchored
• 0:37
  in
• 0:37
  God's
• 0:37
  truth.
• 0:37
  My
• 0:37
  mission
• 0:37
  is
• 0:37
  simple.
• 0:37
  I
• 0:37
  want
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  help
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  break
• 0:37
  that
• 0:37
  cycle
• 0:37
  of
• 0:37
  financial
• 0:37
  shame
• 0:37
  and
• 0:37
  build
• 0:37
  steady
• 0:37
  habits
• 0:37
  rooted
• 0:37
  in
• 0:37
  faith
• 0:37
  and
• 0:37
  truly
• 0:37
  become
• 0:37
  financially
• 0:37
  confident
• 0:37
  Christians.
• 0:37
  And
• 0:37
  so
• 0:37
  I
• 0:37
  am
• 0:37
  so
• 0:37
  glad
• 0:37
  you're.
• 0:37
  I'm
• 0:37
  so
• 0:37
  glad
• 0:37
  that
• 0:37
  you've
• 0:37
  given
• 0:37
  me
• 0:37
  some
• 0:37
  of
• 0:37
  your
• 0:37
  time.
• 0:37
  Yesterday
• 0:37
  we
• 0:37
  talked
• 0:37
  about
• 0:37
  the
• 0:37
  best
• 0:37
  five
• 0:37
  side
• 0:37
  hustles
• 0:37
  for
• 0:37
  busy
• 0:37
  people.
• 0:37
  And
• 0:37
  today's
• 0:37
  show
• 0:37
  builds
• 0:37
  directly
• 0:37
  on
• 0:37
  that.
• 0:37
  Because
• 0:37
  many
• 0:37
  of
• 0:37
  the
• 0:37
  best
• 0:37
  side
• 0:37
  hustles
• 0:37
  don't
• 0:37
  start
• 0:37
  with
• 0:37
  platforms.
• 0:37
  They
• 0:37
  start
• 0:37
  with
• 0:37
  people
• 0:37
  and
• 0:37
  specifically
• 0:37
  with
• 0:37
  what
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  already
• 0:37
  know
• 0:37
  how
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  do.
• 0:37
  That
• 0:37
  was
• 0:37
  the
• 0:37
  big
• 0:37
  takeaway
• 0:37
  from
• 0:37
  yesterday.
• 0:37
  The
• 0:37
  beautiful
• 0:37
  thing
• 0:37
  about
• 0:37
  skill
• 0:37
  based
• 0:37
  income
• 0:37
  is
• 0:37
  this.
• 0:37
  You're
• 0:37
  not
• 0:37
  starting
• 0:37
  from
• 0:37
  zero.
• 0:37
  You're
• 0:37
  already
• 0:37
  starting
• 0:37
  from
• 0:37
  something
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  already
• 0:37
  know.
• 0:37
  You're
• 0:37
  starting
• 0:37
  from
• 0:37
  experience.
• 0:37
  And
• 0:37
  that
• 0:37
  changes
• 0:37
  everything.
• 0:37
  Here's
• 0:37
  the
• 0:37
  question
• 0:37
  I
• 0:37
  hear
• 0:37
  all
• 0:37
  the
• 0:37
  time.
• 0:37
  And
• 0:37
  maybe
• 0:37
  you're
• 0:37
  thinking
• 0:37
  this
• 0:37
  right
• 0:37
  now,
• 0:37
  Ralph.
• 0:37
  I
• 0:37
  don't
• 0:37
  think
• 0:37
  I
• 0:37
  have
• 0:37
  any
• 0:37
  skills
• 0:37
  anyone
• 0:37
  would
• 0:37
  pay
• 0:37
  for.
• 0:37
  And
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  know
• 0:37
  what?
• 0:37
  That
• 0:37
  belief
• 0:37
  is
• 0:37
  really
• 0:37
  common.
• 0:37
  And
• 0:37
  I
• 0:37
  want
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  tell
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  something.
• 0:37
  It's
• 0:37
  usually
• 0:37
  not
• 0:37
  true.
• 0:37
  Not
• 0:37
  even
• 0:37
  close
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  being
• 0:37
  true.
• 0:37
  If
• 0:37
  you've
• 0:37
  ever
• 0:37
  minimized
• 0:37
  your
• 0:37
  abilities,
• 0:37
  if
• 0:37
  you've
• 0:37
  compared
• 0:37
  yourself
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  others
• 0:37
  and
• 0:37
  thought,
• 0:37
  well,
• 0:37
  they're
• 0:37
  so
• 0:37
  much
• 0:37
  better
• 0:37
  than
• 0:37
  me.
• 0:37
  If
• 0:37
  you've
• 0:37
  ever
• 0:37
  dismissed
• 0:37
  something
• 0:37
  you're
• 0:37
  good
• 0:37
  at
• 0:37
  by
• 0:37
  saying,
• 0:37
  well,
• 0:37
  everyone
• 0:37
  already
• 0:37
  knows
• 0:37
  this.
• 0:37
  Let
• 0:37
  me
• 0:37
  tell
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  what's
• 0:37
  really
• 0:37
  happening.
• 0:37
  You're
• 0:37
  not
• 0:37
  lacking
• 0:37
  value.
• 0:37
  You're
• 0:37
  just
• 0:37
  too
• 0:37
  close
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  your
• 0:37
  own
• 0:37
  strengths.
• 0:37
  The
• 0:37
  things
• 0:37
  that
• 0:37
  feel
• 0:37
  easy
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  you,
• 0:37
  the
• 0:37
  things
• 0:37
  that
• 0:37
  feel
• 0:37
  obvious,
• 0:37
  those
• 0:37
  are
• 0:37
  often
• 0:37
  the
• 0:37
  exact
• 0:37
  things
• 0:37
  other
• 0:37
  people
• 0:37
  desperately
• 0:37
  need
• 0:37
  help
• 0:37
  with.
• 0:37
  And
• 0:37
  guess
• 0:37
  what?
• 0:37
  They'll
• 0:37
  pay
• 0:37
  for
• 0:37
  it.
• 0:37
  Here's
• 0:37
  the
• 0:37
  reality.
• 0:37
  You
• 0:37
  don't
• 0:37
  need
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  know
• 0:37
  everything
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  help
• 0:37
  someone.
• 0:37
  You
• 0:37
  just
• 0:37
  need
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  know
• 0:37
  more
• 0:37
  than
• 0:37
  they
• 0:37
  do.
• 0:37
  It's
• 0:37
  really
• 0:37
  that
• 0:37
  simple.
• 0:37
  That's
• 0:37
  it.
• 0:37
  That's
• 0:37
  how
• 0:37
  skills
• 0:37
  become
• 0:37
  services,
• 0:37
  and
• 0:37
  that's
• 0:37
  how
• 0:37
  knowledge
• 0:37
  becomes
• 0:37
  income.
• 0:37
  You're
• 0:37
  not
• 0:37
  competing
• 0:37
  with
• 0:37
  the
• 0:37
  world's
• 0:37
  top
• 0:37
  expert.
• 0:37
  You're
• 0:37
  helping
• 0:37
  someone
• 0:37
  take
• 0:37
  their
• 0:37
  next
• 0:37
  step.
• 0:37
  And
• 0:37
  that
• 0:37
  is
• 0:37
  valuable.
• 0:37
  I've
• 0:37
  seen
• 0:37
  people
• 0:37
  monetize
• 0:37
  skills
• 0:37
  they
• 0:37
  once
• 0:37
  thought
• 0:37
  were
• 0:37
  nothing
• 0:37
  skills,
• 0:37
  things
• 0:37
  like
• 0:37
  organization,
• 0:37
  teaching,
• 0:37
  writing,
• 0:37
  problem
• 0:37
  solving,
• 0:37
  explaining
• 0:37
  things
• 0:37
  clearly.
• 0:37
  See,
• 0:37
  value
• 0:37
  is
• 0:37
  often
• 0:37
  hiding
• 0:37
  in
• 0:37
  plain
• 0:37
  sight.
• 0:37
  And
• 0:37
  once
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  see
• 0:37
  it,
• 0:37
  everything
• 0:37
  changes.
• 0:37
  I
• 0:37
  once
• 0:37
  talked
• 0:37
  with
• 0:37
  someone
• 0:37
  and
• 0:37
  we'll
• 0:37
  call
• 0:37
  her
• 0:37
  Maria
• 0:37
  for
• 0:37
  today's
• 0:37
  discussion.
• 0:37
  She
• 0:37
  said
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  me,
• 0:37
  ralph,
• 0:37
  I'm
• 0:37
  not
• 0:37
  an
• 0:37
  expert
• 0:37
  in
• 0:37
  anything.
• 0:37
  I
• 0:37
  don't
• 0:37
  have
• 0:37
  a
• 0:37
  degree,
• 0:37
  I
• 0:37
  don't
• 0:37
  have
• 0:37
  any
• 0:37
  certifications.
• 0:37
  I'm
• 0:37
  just
• 0:37
  a
• 0:37
  regular
• 0:37
  person.
• 0:37
  So
• 0:37
  I
• 0:37
  asked
• 0:37
  her
• 0:37
  this
• 0:37
  question.
• 0:37
  I
• 0:37
  said,
• 0:37
  maria,
• 0:37
  what
• 0:37
  do
• 0:37
  people
• 0:37
  come
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  help
• 0:37
  with?
• 0:37
  And
• 0:37
  she
• 0:37
  thought
• 0:37
  for
• 0:37
  a
• 0:37
  second.
• 0:37
  She
• 0:37
  said,
• 0:37
  ralph,
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  know
• 0:37
  what?
• 0:37
  I
• 0:37
  guess
• 0:37
  people
• 0:37
  ask
• 0:37
  me
• 0:37
  about
• 0:37
  tech
• 0:37
  stuff
• 0:37
  all
• 0:37
  the
• 0:37
  time,
• 0:37
  like
• 0:37
  how
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  use
• 0:37
  apps
• 0:37
  and
• 0:37
  set
• 0:37
  up
• 0:37
  their
• 0:37
  phones.
• 0:37
  And
• 0:37
  I'm
• 0:37
  constantly
• 0:37
  getting
• 0:37
  calls
• 0:37
  from
• 0:37
  people
• 0:37
  helping
• 0:37
  them
• 0:37
  troubleshoot
• 0:37
  computer
• 0:37
  problems.
• 0:37
  So
• 0:37
  I
• 0:37
  asked
• 0:37
  her
• 0:37
  the
• 0:37
  next
• 0:37
  question.
• 0:37
  I
• 0:37
  said,
• 0:37
  how
• 0:37
  often
• 0:37
  does
• 0:37
  that
• 0:37
  happen?
• 0:37
  She
• 0:37
  said,
• 0:37
  ralph,
• 0:37
  all
• 0:37
  the
• 0:37
  time,
• 0:37
  actually.
• 0:37
  It's
• 0:37
  like
• 0:37
  every
• 0:37
  day,
• 0:37
  my
• 0:37
  friends,
• 0:37
  my
• 0:37
  family,
• 0:37
  my
• 0:37
  co
• 0:37
  workers,
• 0:37
  and
• 0:37
  I
• 0:37
  said
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  her,
• 0:37
  ah,
• 0:37
  we
• 0:37
  found
• 0:37
  something
• 0:37
  there,
• 0:37
  haven't
• 0:37
  we?
• 0:37
  And
• 0:37
  that
• 0:37
  week
• 0:37
  she
• 0:37
  posted
• 0:37
  in
• 0:37
  a
• 0:37
  local
• 0:37
  Facebook
• 0:37
  group
• 0:37
  offering
• 0:37
  tech
• 0:37
  help
• 0:37
  for
• 0:37
  seniors.
• 0:37
  25
• 0:37
  bucks
• 0:37
  an
• 0:37
  hour.
• 0:37
  Listen
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  this.
• 0:37
  Within
• 0:37
  two
• 0:37
  weeks,
• 0:37
  she
• 0:37
  had
• 0:37
  three
• 0:37
  regular
• 0:37
  clients.
• 0:37
  Not
• 0:37
  because
• 0:37
  she
• 0:37
  was
• 0:37
  some
• 0:37
  tech
• 0:37
  genius.
• 0:37
  She
• 0:37
  would
• 0:37
  tell
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  she
• 0:37
  didn't
• 0:37
  have
• 0:37
  a
• 0:37
  certification,
• 0:37
  she
• 0:37
  didn't
• 0:37
  have
• 0:37
  a
• 0:37
  degree
• 0:37
  in
• 0:37
  it.
• 0:37
  She
• 0:37
  could
• 0:37
  explain
• 0:37
  things
• 0:37
  in
• 0:37
  a
• 0:37
  way
• 0:37
  people
• 0:37
  understood.
• 0:37
  And
• 0:37
  see,
• 0:37
  that
• 0:37
  skill,
• 0:37
  the
• 0:37
  one
• 0:37
  she
• 0:37
  thought
• 0:37
  was
• 0:37
  nothing,
• 0:37
  became
• 0:37
  $300
• 0:37
  a
• 0:37
  month
• 0:37
  in
• 0:37
  extra
• 0:37
  income.
• 0:37
  That's
• 0:37
  something.
• 0:37
  And
• 0:37
  it
• 0:37
  grew
• 0:37
  from
• 0:37
  there.
• 0:37
  So
• 0:37
  here's
• 0:37
  the
• 0:37
  question
• 0:37
  for
• 0:37
  today.
• 0:37
  What
• 0:37
  do
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  know
• 0:37
  that
• 0:37
  could
• 0:37
  help
• 0:37
  someone
• 0:37
  else?
• 0:37
  It's
• 0:37
  really
• 0:37
  that
• 0:37
  simple.
• 0:37
  What
• 0:37
  do
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  know
• 0:37
  that
• 0:37
  could
• 0:37
  help
• 0:37
  someone
• 0:37
  else?
• 0:37
  Not
• 0:37
  what
• 0:37
  do
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  know
• 0:37
  that
• 0:37
  makes
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  special,
• 0:37
  but
• 0:37
  what
• 0:37
  do
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  know
• 0:37
  that
• 0:37
  could
• 0:37
  solve
• 0:37
  someone's
• 0:37
  problem?
• 0:37
  See,
• 0:37
  that's
• 0:37
  the
• 0:37
  key
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  this.
• 0:37
  So
• 0:37
  let's
• 0:37
  Walk
• 0:37
  through
• 0:37
  this
• 0:37
  together.
• 0:37
  I'm
• 0:37
  going
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  give
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  a
• 0:37
  simple
• 0:37
  framework
• 0:37
  for
• 0:37
  turning
• 0:37
  your
• 0:37
  skills
• 0:37
  into
• 0:37
  income.
• 0:37
  Not
• 0:37
  some
• 0:37
  complicated
• 0:37
  strategy,
• 0:37
  just
• 0:37
  practical
• 0:37
  steps.
• 0:37
  Here's
• 0:37
  step
• 0:37
  number
• 0:37
  one,
• 0:37
  and
• 0:37
  I
• 0:37
  want
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  hear
• 0:37
  this
• 0:37
  loud
• 0:37
  and
• 0:37
  clear.
• 0:37
  Everyone
• 0:37
  has
• 0:37
  monetizable
• 0:37
  skills.
• 0:37
  You
• 0:37
  got
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  start
• 0:37
  there.
• 0:37
  You
• 0:37
  have
• 0:37
  skills
• 0:37
  people
• 0:37
  will
• 0:37
  pay
• 0:37
  for
• 0:37
  even
• 0:37
  if
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  don't
• 0:37
  see
• 0:37
  them.
• 0:37
  And
• 0:37
  these
• 0:37
  skills
• 0:37
  fall
• 0:37
  into
• 0:37
  what
• 0:37
  I
• 0:37
  call
• 0:37
  three
• 0:37
  main
• 0:37
  categories.
• 0:37
  There's
• 0:37
  professional
• 0:37
  skills.
• 0:37
  That's
• 0:37
  things
• 0:37
  you've
• 0:37
  learned
• 0:37
  at
• 0:37
  work.
• 0:37
  Like
• 0:37
  for
• 0:37
  me,
• 0:37
  I'm
• 0:37
  a
• 0:37
  professional
• 0:37
  accountant.
• 0:37
  I
• 0:37
  learned
• 0:37
  that
• 0:37
  there's
• 0:37
  also
• 0:37
  life
• 0:37
  skills.
• 0:37
  Hey,
• 0:37
  we
• 0:37
  all
• 0:37
  got
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  learn
• 0:37
  those
• 0:37
  things.
• 0:37
  You've
• 0:37
  learned
• 0:37
  from
• 0:37
  experience.
• 0:37
  Sometimes
• 0:37
  not
• 0:37
  the
• 0:37
  best
• 0:37
  experiences.
• 0:37
  And
• 0:37
  then
• 0:37
  there's
• 0:37
  learn
• 0:37
  skills.
• 0:37
  These
• 0:37
  are
• 0:37
  things
• 0:37
  you've
• 0:37
  taught
• 0:37
  yourself.
• 0:37
  If
• 0:37
  you've
• 0:37
  solved
• 0:37
  problems,
• 0:37
  guess
• 0:37
  what,
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  have
• 0:37
  value.
• 0:37
  And
• 0:37
  someone
• 0:37
  out
• 0:37
  there
• 0:37
  needs
• 0:37
  that
• 0:37
  exact
• 0:37
  solution
• 0:37
  in
• 0:37
  their
• 0:37
  life.
• 0:37
  So
• 0:37
  that's
• 0:37
  the
• 0:37
  first
• 0:37
  step.
• 0:37
  Step
• 0:37
  number
• 0:37
  two.
• 0:37
  Skills
• 0:37
  don't
• 0:37
  need
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  be
• 0:37
  flashy.
• 0:37
  They
• 0:37
  just
• 0:37
  need
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  be
• 0:37
  useful.
• 0:37
  Here's
• 0:37
  what
• 0:37
  people
• 0:37
  pay
• 0:37
  for.
• 0:37
  People
• 0:37
  pay
• 0:37
  for
• 0:37
  help
• 0:37
  saving
• 0:37
  them
• 0:37
  time.
• 0:37
  People
• 0:37
  pay
• 0:37
  for
• 0:37
  help
• 0:37
  learning
• 0:37
  something
• 0:37
  faster.
• 0:37
  And
• 0:37
  people
• 0:37
  pay
• 0:37
  for
• 0:37
  help
• 0:37
  reducing
• 0:37
  stress
• 0:37
  or
• 0:37
  confusion.
• 0:37
  Like
• 0:37
  I
• 0:37
  said
• 0:37
  earlier,
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  don't
• 0:37
  need
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  be
• 0:37
  the
• 0:37
  best
• 0:37
  in
• 0:37
  the
• 0:37
  world.
• 0:37
  You
• 0:37
  just
• 0:37
  need
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  be
• 0:37
  useful
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  the
• 0:37
  person
• 0:37
  in
• 0:37
  front
• 0:37
  of
• 0:37
  you.
• 0:37
  That
• 0:37
  usefulness
• 0:37
  creates
• 0:37
  demand.
• 0:37
  And
• 0:37
  guess
• 0:37
  what?
• 0:37
  Demand.
• 0:37
  That's
• 0:37
  what
• 0:37
  creates
• 0:37
  income.
• 0:37
  Here's
• 0:37
  step
• 0:37
  number
• 0:37
  three.
• 0:37
  Start
• 0:37
  by
• 0:37
  identifying
• 0:37
  what
• 0:37
  you're
• 0:37
  good
• 0:37
  at.
• 0:37
  Ask
• 0:37
  yourself
• 0:37
  these
• 0:37
  questions,
• 0:37
  like
• 0:37
  ask
• 0:37
  Maria,
• 0:37
  what
• 0:37
  do
• 0:37
  people
• 0:37
  ask
• 0:37
  me
• 0:37
  for
• 0:37
  help
• 0:37
  with?
• 0:37
  What
• 0:37
  are
• 0:37
  the
• 0:37
  things
• 0:37
  that
• 0:37
  people
• 0:37
  are
• 0:37
  constantly
• 0:37
  asking
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  for
• 0:37
  help
• 0:37
  with?
• 0:37
  They
• 0:37
  ask
• 0:37
  this
• 0:37
  question,
• 0:37
  what
• 0:37
  feels
• 0:37
  natural
• 0:37
  or
• 0:37
  easy
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  me
• 0:37
  that
• 0:37
  others
• 0:37
  struggle
• 0:37
  with?
• 0:37
  Because,
• 0:37
  see,
• 0:37
  we
• 0:37
  live
• 0:37
  in
• 0:37
  our
• 0:37
  own
• 0:37
  world
• 0:37
  and
• 0:37
  we
• 0:37
  don't
• 0:37
  realize
• 0:37
  what
• 0:37
  people
• 0:37
  struggle
• 0:37
  with.
• 0:37
  And
• 0:37
  then
• 0:37
  ask
• 0:37
  yourself,
• 0:37
  what
• 0:37
  have
• 0:37
  I
• 0:37
  learned
• 0:37
  through
• 0:37
  experience
• 0:37
  that
• 0:37
  I
• 0:37
  could
• 0:37
  teach
• 0:37
  someone
• 0:37
  else?
• 0:37
  All
• 0:37
  those
• 0:37
  answers
• 0:37
  are
• 0:37
  clues,
• 0:37
  so
• 0:37
  write
• 0:37
  them
• 0:37
  down.
• 0:37
  And
• 0:37
  if
• 0:37
  you're
• 0:37
  still
• 0:37
  stuck,
• 0:37
  ask
• 0:37
  three
• 0:37
  people
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  trust.
• 0:37
  This
• 0:37
  is
• 0:37
  an
• 0:37
  easy
• 0:37
  way
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  do
• 0:37
  it.
• 0:37
  Go
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  three
• 0:37
  people
• 0:37
  that
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  trust
• 0:37
  and
• 0:37
  say
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  them,
• 0:37
  what
• 0:37
  do
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  think
• 0:37
  I'm
• 0:37
  good
• 0:37
  at?
• 0:37
  I
• 0:37
  guarantee
• 0:37
  they're
• 0:37
  going
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  give
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  great
• 0:37
  answers.
• 0:37
  And
• 0:37
  those
• 0:37
  answers
• 0:37
  might
• 0:37
  just
• 0:37
  surprise
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  because
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  might
• 0:37
  be
• 0:37
  able
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  help
• 0:37
  them
• 0:37
  out.
• 0:37
  Here's
• 0:37
  step
• 0:37
  number
• 0:37
  four.
• 0:37
  Package
• 0:37
  your
• 0:37
  skill
• 0:37
  simply.
• 0:37
  See,
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  can
• 0:37
  get
• 0:37
  crazy
• 0:37
  with
• 0:37
  this.
• 0:37
  Once
• 0:37
  you've
• 0:37
  identified
• 0:37
  a
• 0:37
  skill,
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  need
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  package
• 0:37
  it.
• 0:37
  But
• 0:37
  don't
• 0:37
  overcomplicate
• 0:37
  it.
• 0:37
  Here's
• 0:37
  the
• 0:37
  simplest
• 0:37
  ways
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  turn
• 0:37
  a
• 0:37
  skill
• 0:37
  into
• 0:37
  income.
• 0:37
  First
• 0:37
  thing
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  can
• 0:37
  do
• 0:37
  is
• 0:37
  is
• 0:37
  offered
• 0:37
  as
• 0:37
  a
• 0:37
  service.
• 0:37
  When
• 0:37
  we
• 0:37
  talk
• 0:37
  about
• 0:37
  freelance
• 0:37
  writing
• 0:37
  or
• 0:37
  bookkeeping
• 0:37
  or
• 0:37
  design
• 0:37
  Just
• 0:37
  offer
• 0:37
  that
• 0:37
  service
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  them.
• 0:37
  Here's
• 0:37
  another
• 0:37
  way
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  do
• 0:37
  that.
• 0:37
  Teach
• 0:37
  it

  Tutoring,
• 0:37
  coaching,
• 0:37
  consulting.
• 0:37
  Show
• 0:37
  them
• 0:37
  how
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  do
• 0:37
  something
• 0:37
  or
• 0:37
  create
• 0:37
  something
• 0:37
  once
• 0:37
  and
• 0:37
  sell
• 0:37
  it.
• 0:37
  So
• 0:37
  I
• 0:37
  talk
• 0:37
  about,
• 0:37
  when
• 0:37
  I
• 0:37
  talk
• 0:37
  about,
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  know,
• 0:37
  intellectual
• 0:37
  property,
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  can
• 0:37
  build
• 0:37
  a
• 0:37
  template,
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  can
• 0:37
  build
• 0:37
  a
• 0:37
  guide.
• 0:37
  Hey,
• 0:37
  maybe
• 0:37
  you're
• 0:37
  the
• 0:37
  person
• 0:37
  that
• 0:37
  wants
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  build
• 0:37
  a
• 0:37
  mini
• 0:37
  course.
• 0:37
  Those
• 0:37
  are
• 0:37
  great
• 0:37
  things.
• 0:37
  But
• 0:37
  don't
• 0:37
  over
• 0:37
  build
• 0:37
  it
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  start.
• 0:37
  Start
• 0:37
  small,
• 0:37
  test
• 0:37
  it
• 0:37
  and
• 0:37
  then
• 0:37
  adjust.
• 0:37
  Because
• 0:37
  I've
• 0:37
  met
• 0:37
  a
• 0:37
  lot
• 0:37
  of
• 0:37
  people
• 0:37
  that
• 0:37
  built
• 0:37
  this
• 0:37
  beautiful
• 0:37
  elaborate
• 0:37
  course,
• 0:37
  but
• 0:37
  it
• 0:37
  didn't
• 0:37
  sell.
• 0:37
  Here's
• 0:37
  step
• 0:37
  number
• 0:37
  five.
• 0:37
  You
• 0:37
  don't
• 0:37
  need
• 0:37
  perfection
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  begin.
• 0:37
  And
• 0:37
  this
• 0:37
  is
• 0:37
  where
• 0:37
  most
• 0:37
  people
• 0:37
  get
• 0:37
  stuck.
• 0:37
  They
• 0:37
  want
• 0:37
  everything
• 0:37
  perfect
• 0:37
  before
• 0:37
  they
• 0:37
  start.
• 0:37
  They
• 0:37
  got
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  have
• 0:37
  the
• 0:37
  perfect
• 0:37
  website,
• 0:37
  the
• 0:37
  perfect
• 0:37
  pitch,
• 0:37
  the
• 0:37
  perfect
• 0:37
  pricing.
• 0:37
  But
• 0:37
  that
• 0:37
  perfection
• 0:37
  is
• 0:37
  a
• 0:37
  trap.
• 0:37
  You're
• 0:37
  never
• 0:37
  going
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  move
• 0:37
  forward
• 0:37
  if
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  do
• 0:37
  that.
• 0:37
  You
• 0:37
  just
• 0:37
  need
• 0:37
  clarity,
• 0:37
  not
• 0:37
  perfection.
• 0:37
  Offer
• 0:37
  help,
• 0:37
  serve
• 0:37
  someone.
• 0:37
  And
• 0:37
  guess
• 0:37
  what?
• 0:37
  It's
• 0:37
  okay
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  learn
• 0:37
  as
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  go.
• 0:37
  I
• 0:37
  went
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  college
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  be
• 0:37
  an
• 0:37
  accountant.
• 0:37
  For
• 0:37
  the
• 0:37
  first
• 0:37
  10
• 0:37
  years
• 0:37
  of
• 0:37
  my
• 0:37
  career,
• 0:37
  I
• 0:37
  was
• 0:37
  learning
• 0:37
  that
• 0:37
  progress
• 0:37
  beats
• 0:37
  polish
• 0:37
  every
• 0:37
  single
• 0:37
  time.
• 0:37
  Here,
• 0:37
  step
• 0:37
  start
• 0:37
  with
• 0:37
  one
• 0:37
  person.
• 0:37
  You
• 0:37
  don't
• 0:37
  need
• 0:37
  a
• 0:37
  hundred
• 0:37
  clients,
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  just
• 0:37
  need
• 0:37
  one.
• 0:37
  In
• 0:37
  fact,
• 0:37
  having
• 0:37
  one
• 0:37
  is
• 0:37
  the
• 0:37
  best
• 0:37
  way
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  go.
• 0:37
  And
• 0:37
  here's
• 0:37
  another
• 0:37
  tidbit.
• 0:37
  Offer
• 0:37
  your
• 0:37
  service
• 0:37
  for
• 0:37
  free.
• 0:37
  Help
• 0:37
  one
• 0:37
  person,
• 0:37
  well
• 0:37
  get
• 0:37
  their
• 0:37
  feedback.
• 0:37
  Use
• 0:37
  that
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  refine
• 0:37
  your
• 0:37
  process
• 0:37
  and
• 0:37
  then
• 0:37
  help
• 0:37
  the
• 0:37
  next
• 0:37
  person.
• 0:37
  Because
• 0:37
  that
• 0:37
  sustainable
• 0:37
  income
• 0:37
  is
• 0:37
  built
• 0:37
  one
• 0:37
  person
• 0:37
  at
• 0:37
  a
• 0:37
  time.
• 0:37
  Here's
• 0:37
  step
• 0:37
  seven.
• 0:37
  And
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  got
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  be
• 0:37
  careful
• 0:37
  with
• 0:37
  this
• 0:37
  one.
• 0:37
  Scale
• 0:37
  slowly
• 0:37
  and
• 0:37
  wisely.
• 0:37
  Once
• 0:37
  you've
• 0:37
  helped
• 0:37
  a
• 0:37
  few
• 0:37
  people,
• 0:37
  you're
• 0:37
  going
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  be
• 0:37
  tempted
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  scale
• 0:37
  fast.
• 0:37
  You're
• 0:37
  going
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  think,
• 0:37
  oh,
• 0:37
  this
• 0:37
  is
• 0:37
  so
• 0:37
  easy.
• 0:37
  I
• 0:37
  can
• 0:37
  do
• 0:37
  this
• 0:37
  every
• 0:37
  day.
• 0:37
  Take
• 0:37
  time
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  not
• 0:37
  take
• 0:37
  on
• 0:37
  every
• 0:37
  opportunity.
• 0:37
  Don't
• 0:37
  go
• 0:37
  and
• 0:37
  search
• 0:37
  for
• 0:37
  every
• 0:37
  single
• 0:37
  person.
• 0:37
  Remember
• 0:37
  what
• 0:37
  I
• 0:37
  said
• 0:37
  yesterday,
• 0:37
  Balance
• 0:37
  matters.
• 0:37
  Test
• 0:37
  before
• 0:37
  expanding,
• 0:37
  protect
• 0:37
  your
• 0:37
  energy
• 0:37
  and
• 0:37
  make
• 0:37
  sure
• 0:37
  that
• 0:37
  growth
• 0:37
  serves
• 0:37
  your
• 0:37
  life,
• 0:37
  not
• 0:37
  steals
• 0:37
  from.
• 0:37
  Because
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  could
• 0:37
  very
• 0:37
  well
• 0:37
  get
• 0:37
  yourself
• 0:37
  into
• 0:37
  a
• 0:37
  place
• 0:37
  where
• 0:37
  you've
• 0:37
  got
• 0:37
  a
• 0:37
  great
• 0:37
  skill,
• 0:37
  you're
• 0:37
  making
• 0:37
  big
• 0:37
  money
• 0:37
  at
• 0:37
  it,
• 0:37
  but
• 0:37
  it's
• 0:37
  becoming
• 0:37
  a
• 0:37
  second
• 0:37
  full
• 0:37
  time
• 0:37
  job.
• 0:37
  And
• 0:37
  they
• 0:37
  got
• 0:37
  no
• 0:37
  time
• 0:37
  for
• 0:37
  your
• 0:37
  kids,
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  got
• 0:37
  no
• 0:37
  time
• 0:37
  for
• 0:37
  your
• 0:37
  spouse
• 0:37
  and
• 0:37
  you're
• 0:37
  driving
• 0:37
  yourself
• 0:37
  crazy.
• 0:37
  And
• 0:37
  here's
• 0:37
  step
• 0:37
  number
• 0:37
  8.
• 0:37
  Skill
• 0:37
  based
• 0:37
  income
• 0:37
  builds
• 0:37
  confidence.
• 0:37
  Here's
• 0:37
  something
• 0:37
  beautiful
• 0:37
  about
• 0:37
  monetizing
• 0:37
  the
• 0:37
  skills
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  already
• 0:37
  have.
• 0:37
  It
• 0:37
  connects
• 0:37
  effort
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  impact.
• 0:37
  See,
• 0:37
  I've
• 0:37
  seen
• 0:37
  people
• 0:37
  start
• 0:37
  here
• 0:37
  and
• 0:37
  end
• 0:37
  up
• 0:37
  going
• 0:37
  into
• 0:37
  this
• 0:37
  full
• 0:37
  time.
• 0:37
  Believe
• 0:37
  it
• 0:37
  or
• 0:37
  not,
• 0:37
  I've
• 0:37
  seen
• 0:37
  this
• 0:37
  so
• 0:37
  many
• 0:37
  times.
• 0:37
  Something
• 0:37
  that
• 0:37
  started
• 0:37
  just
• 0:37
  as
• 0:37
  a
• 0:37
  side
• 0:37
  hustle
• 0:37
  became
• 0:37
  something
• 0:37
  that
• 0:37
  became
• 0:37
  their
• 0:37
  life's
• 0:37
  work
• 0:37
  because
• 0:37
  they
• 0:37
  start
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  see
• 0:37
  that
• 0:37
  their
• 0:37
  work
• 0:37
  matters.
• 0:37
  You
• 0:37
  start
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  see
• 0:37
  benefit
• 0:37
  from
• 0:37
  what
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  know.
• 0:37
  And
• 0:37
  that
• 0:37
  builds
• 0:37
  confidence
• 0:37
  in
• 0:37
  ways
• 0:37
  a
• 0:37
  paycheck
• 0:37
  will
• 0:37
  never
• 0:37
  build
• 0:37
  because
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  realize
• 0:37
  something.
• 0:37
  We
• 0:37
  all
• 0:37
  need
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  realize
• 0:37
  this.
• 0:37
  I
• 0:37
  have
• 0:37
  value.
• 0:37
  People
• 0:37
  need
• 0:37
  what
• 0:37
  I
• 0:37
  can
• 0:37
  offer.
• 0:37
  And
• 0:37
  bigger
• 0:37
  than
• 0:37
  all
• 0:37
  those
• 0:37
  things,
• 0:37
  it
• 0:37
  tells
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  I
• 0:37
  can
• 0:37
  do
• 0:37
  this.
• 0:37
  Let's
• 0:37
  anchor
• 0:37
  this
• 0:37
  in
• 0:37
  God's
• 0:37
  truth.
• 0:37
  Look
• 0:37
  at
• 0:37
  first
• 0:37
  Peter,
• 0:37
  chapter
• 0:37
  4,
• 0:37
  verse
• 0:37
  10.
• 0:37
  Each
• 0:37
  of
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  should
• 0:37
  use
• 0:37
  whatever
• 0:37
  gift
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  have
• 0:37
  received
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  serve
• 0:37
  others
• 0:37
  as
• 0:37
  faithful
• 0:37
  stewards
• 0:37
  of
• 0:37
  God's
• 0:37
  grace
• 0:37
  in
• 0:37
  its
• 0:37
  various
• 0:37
  forms.
• 0:37
  That
• 0:37
  just
• 0:37
  ties
• 0:37
  right
• 0:37
  in
• 0:37
  today,
• 0:37
  doesn't
• 0:37
  it?
• 0:37
  Your
• 0:37
  gifts
• 0:37
  aren't
• 0:37
  accidental.
• 0:37
  They're
• 0:37
  not
• 0:37
  random.
• 0:37
  God
• 0:37
  gave
• 0:37
  them
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  for
• 0:37
  a
• 0:37
  reason
• 0:37
  and
• 0:37
  part
• 0:37
  of
• 0:37
  stewardship
• 0:37
  is
• 0:37
  using
• 0:37
  them
• 0:37
  wisely
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  serve
• 0:37
  others
• 0:37
  and
• 0:37
  provide
• 0:37
  for
• 0:37
  your
• 0:37
  family.
• 0:37
  And
• 0:37
  when
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  monetize
• 0:37
  your
• 0:37
  skills,
• 0:37
  you're
• 0:37
  not
• 0:37
  being
• 0:37
  greedy,
• 0:37
  you're
• 0:37
  being
• 0:37
  faithful.
• 0:37
  What
• 0:37
  God
• 0:37
  has
• 0:37
  already
• 0:37
  given
• 0:37
  you,
• 0:37
  he
• 0:37
  wants
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  use
• 0:37
  these
• 0:37
  things.
• 0:37
  So
• 0:37
  here's
• 0:37
  your
• 0:37
  simple
• 0:37
  action
• 0:37
  step
• 0:37
  for
• 0:37
  today.
• 0:37
  I
• 0:37
  want
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  write
• 0:37
  down
• 0:37
  three
• 0:37
  skills
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  could
• 0:37
  offer
• 0:37
  someone
• 0:37
  per
• 0:37
  pay.
• 0:37
  Now
• 0:37
  don't
• 0:37
  overthink
• 0:37
  it.
• 0:37
  Don't
• 0:37
  judge
• 0:37
  your
• 0:37
  first
• 0:37
  what
• 0:37
  I
• 0:37
  call
• 0:37
  green
• 0:37
  light
• 0:37
  thing
• 0:37
  and
• 0:37
  just
• 0:37
  write
• 0:37
  down
• 0:37
  three
• 0:37
  things
• 0:37
  and
• 0:37
  then
• 0:37
  pick
• 0:37
  one
• 0:37
  and
• 0:37
  ask
• 0:37
  yourself
• 0:37
  this.
• 0:37
  Who
