This offers flexible hours and is often in high demand. Deliver Food or Groceries: Drive for services like Uber Eats, DoorDash, or Instacart. You can work on a flexible schedule and earn money delivering meals or groceries to people in your area. Sell Unwanted Items: Declutter your home and sell unused items like clothing, furniture, electronics, or books on platforms like eBay, Facebook Marketplace, Poshmark, or at a local yard sale. Take Paid Online Surveys and Participate in Focus Groups: Websites like Survey Junkie, Swagbucks, or Respondent pay you for sharing your opinion. Surveys are low-effort and can be done in your spare time, while focus groups often pay a higher hourly rate. Rent Out a Room or Your Car: If you have a spare room, you can rent it out for short-term stays on platforms like Airbnb. If you don't use your car often, you can rent it out through car-sharing services like Turo. Test Websites and Apps: Companies will pay you to test their websites and apps for usability, providing feedback on your experience. Services like UserTesting often offer a quick, one-time payment per test. Tutoring (Online or In-Person): If you are knowledgeable in a specific subject, language, or skill, you can tutor students online or locally. Sites like Wyzant or Chegg Tutors can help you find clients and set your rate. Complete Local Odd Jobs/Tasks: Use apps like TaskRabbit to find small gigs in your community, such as assembling furniture, light yard work, cleaning, or running errands for others.     The Bible does not contain a specific book on "business" or "entrepreneurship" as modern concepts, but it offers numerous principles regarding work, wealth, diligence, and ethical conduct that are highly relevant to both. Here are the key biblical principles applied to business and entrepreneurship:   1. Work and Diligence are Commended   The Bible encourages hard work and warns against laziness. This principle is fundamental to a successful venture. Diligence brings reward: "Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth." (Proverbs 10:4). Diligent hands: active, eager, willing to try anything….. When I first got online and saw the possibilities I figure out something pretty quick. Not every youth pastor had my creative skill and writing lessons for youth. I was already a regular contributor/writer for YouthWorker Journal - So I would put together these really good power point lessons with great applications. Then I sold them online… and guess what - people bought them!  To pay my bills I have lots of skills and I will try anything.  I have taught guitar, drums, I am a personal trainer. But all these things fit within my calendar. I can't take on another hourly, full time job - I am still and first a pastor. So Diligent hands seek what works best for each person.  Just today I hit up a woman who has a unique skill for other women- I can't give to much away just yet. But she absolutely loved my idea and wants to come on board. We will typically work with about 25 women for one night a week and make a few thousand dollars. Diligence - try anything and if you fail - keep trying.    YESTERDAY SOMEONE ASKED… Hey you said a $1000 bucks a week… how could you do that with just Uber… well my thought (and I did not explain it fully- sorry) is between uber, teach a lesson, sell something a $1000 a week is easy. Hey first and foremost - you better have a budget and stick to it! Or you will never have enough money!    Purposeful work: The creation narrative and later writings present work as a good, God-given activity (Genesis 2:15, Colossians 3:23-24). Work is seen as service, not just to people, but ultimately to the Lord…. Maybe you are asking the wrong question… maybe you should ask God what can I do to add value to your kingdom and get paid at the same time. A great friend of mine teaches martial arts/self protection… but he is also a strong believer. He gets paid well, has a strong client list, but uses this opportunity to share Christ all the time. It is a win win.    2. Stewardship and Investment   The concept of stewardship is central, suggesting that everything a person possesses—time, talent, and treasure—ultimately belongs to God and should be managed wisely… here is an idea, managing our time also means charging for our time. Listen I have a ton of people that would call me a friend - many times they want me to teach or train them for free because I am a friend and on top of that a pastor. Here is one simple rule I let them in on all the time. I have to charge my friends because my enemies won't do business with me. I say it in a fun loving way, but it gets the point across.  The Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14-30): This parable is often cited as a direct encouragement for enterprise and investment. The master praises the servants who invested their money and produced a profit, while rebuking the one who buried his talent out of fear. This emphasizes the expectation of using resources (gifts, skills, capital, talents) productively, taking calculated risks, and seeking growth… is a God thing. It is a value to our maker.  The lazy servant is called wicked. He acted in fear… fear kept him from seeing his investments take off. FEAR will stop 95% of all people who have ideas to make extra money… but if you are lazy fear is a great excuse to fall back on. I will forever nag my friend for not acting on his stupid idea… it was Uber, but he never acted on it… FEAR!  Prudence and Planning: "For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and calculate the cost, whether he has enough to complete it?" (Luke 14:28). This speaks to the need for careful planning, foresight, and sound financial management in business… most buisinesses fail due to lack of financial backing and a lack of planning. I used to have the #1 powerlifting gym in the country. Now I have a nice small personal training gym. It has everything I need…in time I will open another gym for body soul and spirit. But until then I just keep planning, picking up equipment that is a steal… and when the time is right - Boom I will act. But I will no longer rush into things!

However, when the predatory beast returns Scarlett will stop at nothing to make sure this threat is taken care of. But this time, she has someone on her side – the handsome widower next door, Jacob. So when Jacob, more or less, is like, “Scarlett, what great fearlessness you have,” she's all, “The better to get vengeance with.” And soon Scarlett's story of redemption may just end with happily ever after.

It's rare for us to have an episode with so many feces mentioned right off the top, but do not worry, refreshments will be served.On this episode: we're doing another one-of-a-kind episode here, and I'll explain the rules as get into it, but for all those listeners who love our more unhygienic content, have we got a treat for you. We're talking about the only consumer product you can blow out your nose while friends and strangers cheer you on; we'll discuss more context and uses for plop and manure than you could shake a feces coated stick at; and we'll see why the only thing you can't kill about the British in countless, ghoulish ways, is their spirit.And if you were listening on Patreon… only one extra segment, but it'll definitely be different. I'll be providing some Dodge Caravan math, but I'll be belching the whole thing for you on a dare from my family.If you are turned off by the mention of faces, this may not be the episode for you. This episode travels all over 1800s Britain, and this is not our first trip to the scabbed over, feces encrusted manure factory that was Victorian England. I am on record as saying they are our grossest episodes, by far, in my opinion. This one may be the worst. I mean, we did one where people were showered in the gory remains of a dead horse that spent the last three weeks cooking in the sun until it randomly popped on some lady in a giant crinoline dress like she was catching hot soup, and she's all, “not this again”. I owe a debt of thanks to the Ye Olde Crime Podcast for clueing me in to just how no soap, no toothpaste, no germ theory it got. It is my strange privilege to bring you this one-of-a-kind first in the history of podcasting: a SIPPING Game, where with every mention of “human filth” in all it's iterations and sources, you take a sip.With all due respect, you should feel free to skip a few. I think we mention feces alone 29 times. This might not be for everyone, but for those of you who do, I say hats off, because you can barf into them in an emergency. I'm always watching out for you.The rule of thumb is your liver can tackle about one full size drink an hour, and then you drink water. Provided you follow this precaution, you'll still die if you sip every time. Feel free to cheat. I encourage it.  Do not hurt yourselves. In fact, drop your car keys in your toilet tank before you even hit play. And have a secondary or backup human on standby to watch you listen and make sure you don't drink yourself into a neurological disorder.The episode is a fun one, and I hope you enjoy.

Asha Sharma leads AI product strategy at Microsoft, where she works with thousands of companies building AI products and has unique visibility into what's working (and what's not) across more than 15,000 startups and enterprises. Before Microsoft, Asha was COO at Instacart, and VP of Product & Engineering at Meta, notably leading product for Messenger.What you'll learn:1. Why we're moving from “product as artifact” to “product as organism” and what this means for builders2. Microsoft's “seasons” planning framework that allows them to adapt quickly in the AI era3. The death of the org chart: how agents are turning hierarchies into task networks and why “the loop, not the lane” is the new organizing principle4. Why post-training will soon see more investment than pre-training—and how to build your own AI moat with fine-tuning5. Her prediction for the “agentic society”—where org charts become work charts and agents outnumber humans in your company6. The three-phase pattern every successful AI company follows (and why most fail at phase one)7. The rise of code-native interfaces and why GUIs might be going the way of the desktop8.

Welcome back Product Bosses! Do you ever feel like the only way to grow your business is to post more, get featured, or go viral? You're not alone. So many of us have been led to believe that more visibility is the magic key to sales success. But here's the truth—more eyeballs on your brand won't fix a leaky sales engine.In this episode, I'm walking you through the core principle we teach inside the Sales Accelerator: before you scale, you need to audit. I share what happens when students like mine land massive visibility—like going viral, appearing on Shark Tank, or being featured by a celebrity —and what actually makes those moments convert into revenue. Spoiler alert: it's not just about traffic. It's about having the right systems in place to convert that traffic into consistent, profitable sales.So if you've ever launched a product, run a promo, or had a viral moment and thought, “Why didn't this convert like I expected?”—this episode is for you. I'll walk you through our three-part sales engine check: Attract, Convert, Multiply. You'll discover how to plug your sales leaks, sell more with what you've already got, and finally build a business that's ready to scale. Plus, I've got a free checklist to help you fix it fast—grab it in the show notes!Resources:If you're ready to create a sales engine that works for your product, your life, and your revenue goals, then sign up for our next Sales Accelerator program.

Struggling to find time for your business while working a 9-to-5 job? In this video, you'll learn actionable strategies to create more space in your schedule so you can grow your side hustle into something bigger. With unwavering belief and the right mindset shifts, you'll discover how to bet on yourself and prioritize what truly matters. Whether you're balancing work, personal commitments, or other obligations, these tips will help you take control of your time and invest in your growth. **KEY POINTS:** - **Renegotiate Your Workload:** Stop saying "yes" to tasks at your 9-to-5 that don't increase your pay. As the host says, “If it's not paying me more, it's eating into the time I could spend on what does.” - **Strategic Use of PTO:** Transform your paid time off into valuable hours for your business. “PTO exists for a reason—use it to serve your goals and dreams,” the host advises. - **Outsource Personal Tasks:** Free up your time by delegating chores like laundry, cleaning, and grocery shopping. Tools like Instacart or services like wash-and-fold laundry can bring you joy and time back. - **Mindset Shifts for Time Management:** Time management isn't about cramming more into your schedule—it's about prioritizing and renegotiating your current commitments to focus on what brings value. This episode isn't just about managing your schedule; it's about building community, finding support, and aligning your time with what's most important to you. Remember, “We make time for what we value, and your business deserves your time.” If you're ready to take control of your time and make bold moves toward your goals, hit that subscribe button, like this video, and share it with someone who needs this inspiration.

Welcome back Product Bosses! This week, I'm coaching Hannah Kirby, the founder of Stable-ish—a brand that's reimagining how we talk about and accessorize mental health. After her heart-shaped pill case took off on Etsy, Hannah found herself with a loyal audience, a strong brand, and real traction. But despite that success, she's stuck. Not because of strategy, but because of mindset. And if you've ever felt that invisible resistance too—like you're not sure you're allowed to go after the life you want—then Hannah's story is going to hit home.In this episode, we go beyond tactics and dive into what's really holding Hannah back: the fear of not being worthy enough to do this work, and the legacy beliefs that tell her she should play it safe. Together, we explore how to rewrite those inner narratives so she can confidently step into the business owner she already is.You don't want to miss this one. It's a powerful reminder that the business you're building isn't just about products—it's about your personal growth, your legacy, and the belief that you're allowed to want more. Tune in to get re-inspired and start shifting your own mindset today.Resources:Learn more about Stableish and Hannah's work around mental health awareness.
