Today we are going to talk about the best investment to build wealth and get you on your way to earning a six figure income. One of the most common questions I get is “Jeff what is the best investment for me, what is going to make me the largest return on my investment?” Most people are expecting me to give them a hot stock tip! When I tell them the best investment, in my opinion, I get a really strange look. Because this investment takes work. It takes some hustle, grit, and some personal investment. It puts you in a position where you may fail. So let’s find out what this invest is right now……. One of my favorite authors, Chris Guillebeau wrote this book Side Hustle - From Idea to Income in 27 Days. The side hustle is the best investment you can make. Why? It’s no surprise that less than 40% of Americans have $1,000 in their savings. We all know how much minimum wage is right now, we are just not making a lot of money. So how do we increase our income? We do that by starting a side hustle. That is how you get that income insurance or protection. In the book Chris refers to the side hustle as ‘it is more than just another stream of income, it’s the new job security.” Of all the things you can invest your money into, why would you chose a side hustle over stocks or mutual funds? It’s the benefits. Some of the benefits of starting a side hustle: low cost, minimum experience, you don’t need an MBA, no employees, no advanced skills. So what DO you need? You need an idea, time, and determination (grit). Starting a side hustle doesn’t bring in money overnight. You have to stick with it. You have to have the determination to push through the obstacles to get where you want to be. When I talk about a side hustle, I am not talking about UBER or a part time job. I am not talking about trading TIME for MONEY. Instead, we are building an asset that will potentially deliver passive income in the future. This is something where YOU are in charge. You are controlling how you want to do it, how hard you want to work at it, and when you want to do it. So you may be thinking ‘I have no ideas, what can I do” You have to take some time to think about some of the things that you can do. Take the time to sit down and brainstorm. If you are still having trouble check out Chris’s book or his Podcast - Side Hustle School. He interviews so many people that have started a side hustle and are making $500 to $1,000’s of dollars a month. Just to show you that no idea is too crazy, I pulled some from the book: One guy in the UK makes $700/month writing fish tank reviews, another is making a killing making saddles for pet chickens, another sold 75,000 unit of a homemade Gin kit. These people are making bank on a passion that they are interested in. These are just a few ideas to show you the possibilities. But what if you want to make six figures? Well I have some examples for that too! Jeff Jones was the drummer in a popular Christian band. He created a side hustle selling custom drumsticks. He started this side hustle with $600. He expanded to custom bats, coolbats.com. Evan Burse has been a cartoonist for as long as he can remember. This led to him getting a job with Marvel. He started a YouTube channel - the cartoon block - teaching people how to draw. This led to a membership site - Cartoon Block Academy - that has grown to a full-time gig. Chris Greenwood is a musician with a band Manifest. He learned how to use online marketing to sell his music. Now he teaches others, to the tune of a multiple six figure income. Holly Johnson, Clubthrifty.com, is a fellow blogger that started a side hustle of freelance writing. Now she makes over 6 figures a year writing articles, blog posts, and her course Earn More Writing. Michelle has a blog, Making Sense of Cents, and started writing on the side. Now it is her full time gig making $100-$150K/month. So, how do you get started? Take one of your ideas and make $100. Figure out a way to make $100 from this side hustle idea. I want you to know how it feels to implement it and make money from it (without scamming anyone). If you can push past that, you will be blown away. So what is your side hustle idea? If you are brave enough, share how much you made and how long it took you to make that first $100.

http://www.alainguillot.com/greg-johnson/ Greg and Holly Johnson are the creators of Club Thrifty, a website focused on living within your means while traveling and discovering the world. They are happily married parents, with two gorgeous daughters, they are in their late thirties and they are living the dream. Here are some highlights of the interview Greg and Holly worked for about 10 years in the funeral industry making a decent living, but they were spending all their money. They didn’t know where was the money going. One day, they decided to start tracking all their expenses to figure out where was their money going. They discovered that one of their biggest expenses was eating out. Out of frustration, they created the zero-sum budget. We spoke about saving money to pay the future “you”. Imagine that 20 year’s from now you have to pay a debt to the future you. A big debt. You start putting money away as you do to pay any other expense and then when you meet the future you at retirement, you pay that debt. Started the blog to keep themselves accountable. When they started budgeting, they had $15K-$16K worth of debt which was paid in about 18 months. They used the Debt Avalanche Method. Club Thrifty try to teach people how to use the money they already have to build a life they will really love. It tries to teach people how to get out of debt by budgeting,  and it talks about frugal traveling. To make the transition from working as a mortician to have more of an independent lifestyle, Holly started working as a freelance writer and after six months she was making as much money freelancing as she was making at her regular job. A year after the creation of the blog Holly was making a full-time income as a writer. One of the most amazing posts is the 100 Cheapest Places to Travel in the World for 2018. They wrote a book, Zero Down Your Debt. One of the biggest obstacles to building wealth is debt. We spoke about how to make money on the side. They got into real estate investing inspired by the book The Automatic Millionaire, by David Bach The most recommended article on the site: Working to Live: How Being a Mortician Reshaped My Money Mindset. Book recommendation: Your Money or Your Life.

Today on the podcast, I'm joined by Holly Johnson, author of Zero Down your Debt. Listen to this episode to understand how to use a zero-sum budget, learn how to budget when you've got a variable income, how to use the debt snowball method to clear your debts, and the key money lesson you should pass on to your children. Getting into debt is ridiculously easy to do. But getting out of debt? That can be much harder. My guest on the podcast today has written a fantastic book, along with her husband, sharing actionable tips and advice on how to get out of debt and enjoy debt free living. As you'll hear from Holly in this episode, the secret is having a 'zero-sum budget'. This is described as the black belt of budgeting methods; it's the approach Holly and her husband Greg used to wipe out $50,000 of their own debt. Holly Johnson is an award-winning writer who focuses on frugality, budgeting and credit. Her husband Greg is an entrepreneur who turned his love of budgeting and digital media into an online empire. Together, they blog about money at ClubThrifty.com, travel the world and enjoy the good life with their two kids. Holly and Greg started ClubThrifty together in 2012, in part, to figure out where their own money was going and why, despite two good salaries, they weren't saving. They figured out how to stop the bleeding and began a journey of self-empowerment by getting a grip on their money. Their revolutionary approach to spending and saving inspired a website and enabled them to quit their day jobs and devote themselves to helping others.

In this episode, Shannon talks to Holly from Club Thrifty about how to maximize credit cards to travel the world for next to nothing out of pocket.

I've got a fantastic female entrepreneur on the show today, Holly Johnson. She's a blogger extraordinaire, co-founder of 2 websites: a personal finance blog, Club Thrifty, and a frugal travel blog, Travel Blue book. Which, both have become so successful, guess what? Her husband just joined her and quit his 9 to 5 to join her and build this online empire - Gregg is her husband - and build her online empire. Holly is also a staff writer at Get Rich Slowly, The Frugal Dollar, The Frugal Travel Guy, and U.S News and World Report. Her work has been featured everywhere: the Wall Street Journal, Fox, Forbes, Lifehacker, Yahoo, on, and on, and on. Now Holly's journey started after realizing that even though together as couple, Holly and Greg her husband, even though that together they were making good money, they weren't really saving enough to have the lifestyle they really, really wanted. And I think that's something that a lot of us can relate to. You make money, you spend it, you have the things that you want but there's still more that you wish you had - not more in a sense of stuff, but you have a future to build and you wanna be able to feel confident that you're gonna be able to retire well, send your kids to school, buy that home that you want, and so how do you get there? So Holly and Greg started tracking their spending, and as a result Club Thrifty, that first blog, was born. To not only encourage themselves, but others as they say, "Stop spending, and start living". It was this little side hustle that eventually turned into an incredibly profitable source of income for them and as I said, it's allowed Greg to quit his job and focus on the business as well. 3 Takeaways from our interview with Holly: Why she thinks that couples should have one again, just one, shared account - and I happen to disagree. One key and simple detail to have on your personal blog for all you bloggers out there, that can help you make money. And Her top advice for landing online, writing opportunities. If you're interested in getting some side income from freelance writing, you'll wanna hear what she has to say.
