      Can you share your income when you first started w/ no social media follows or YT subscribers? How many hours you put in...in the beginning? Be careful when hiring biz coaches I spent over $25K on biz coaches & programs. Some coaches tell you to do what everyone else is saying and doing.

Tired of training people for the job I should have had. I want to do what I love to do and make good money.

    I am a 60 years old black guy and I am among you girls. Some days ago I discovered Stephanie's TH-cam Chanel and I felt in love with it. I had lost my business oneyear before the pandemic and I was trying to set up another one after it. The pandemic ruined my expectations and I had to look for a job being 58 years old. Thank God, I got a decent job and now I am restarting a new business little by little because I do not have access to banking credits anymore. I hope to settle my new chemical free vegetables farm by Poas Volcano in Alajuela, Costa Rica the coming weeks. I will continue working at the company where I am now until my own business hits the break even point. Thank you Stephanie for your valuable information. Blessings!

    I appreciate this video. I’m a nurse and felt inadequate when my counter parts picked up extra shifts and travel assignments and told me how much extra money they were making.

    • @eileenwatt8283

      You are not inadequate. You can use your nursing experience and start a You Tube fitness and wellness vlog.
      Don't look at those who are chasing the dollar. They left their family for 6 weeks and more at a time. They are working long hours living in a hotel and zooming their children before bed time. That's no way to raise children. May I mention they are also at risk for Covid and the toll it takes on their health is not worth it. I know because I see the generation before me chase the money in travel nurse and it shows now on them. Many are in poor health, arthritis from lifting pts, diabetes from eating junk food. You seems to have a balance life . Just learn about investments and invest your money. Many travel nurses retired without an income outside of social security. RN here with 30 yrs experience. Invest your money. You will be ahead of them.

      Learn about dividend stocks and create a diversified portfolio. Invest a portion of your pay weekly. Open a Roth IRA or Roth 401k if your facility offers one. Look at fees before you put in your money. Look on line for information on stock etc. Start now by the time you are in your 60s you'll be okay.

      I went to college to make a six-figure salary. No one told me that age would deter my climbing the corporate ladder. It would have been better to join the military, retire and see the world through writing, travel and books at a younger age. Marriage was not fruitful for me. I would tell my younger self to travel and cease looking for a husband. It was not worth it. My next job is a business in helping women build their self-esteem and own their own business and property; plan ahead and travel.

    I think it’s for each person to decide if they want to run a business. I was running my business for over 15 years. A retail company offered me $90,000 to work from home and I took the contract. Along with running my business and doing real estate photography. It honestly helped me slow down and gave me a much needed break from it all. If someone with a entrepreneur spirit wants to work with you that’s a plus. Running a business is not for the weak. Lol
