Great video! A welcome antidote to the many “hussle for every hour of the waking and non waking day”, “sacrifice your values, family and social life” type videos that seem a recipe for misery and burnout. Great to see you doing so well your own way.
I was so relieved to find a money management channel local to the UK! As you, I could only find US based people, which was frustrating, as finances are so very local. Thanks for doing these videos, they have surely inspired me!
Been watching you on and off for sometime now, maybe over a year or two. My failures, not following ONE advice, ideas to better my financial life, wellbeing etc...need to start watching and make aims.
*Thank you so much for this video!* As someone still growing their channel and income, I wanted to say this video was great! I loved the authenticity you showed and also how you highlighted the importance is to trust your own intuition and genius. This is defo my favorite video of yours!
So authentic, that’s what people see a feel . I get that from you and have followed you for a while . I have wanted to start my business for a while and am so confused with all the gurus . I have wasted so much time . Listening to you has motivated to make that start . My business will be built on my experience and definitely the help and change peoples lives . Thank you .
@@JenniferAMThomson Watching this again after watching your video about that incredible 15 yr old girl who has started the business of taking peoples' bins out. Posted on there too about but will precis that. Basically, retiring from "day job" next year and want to do more PT/coaching work. You are one of the best on YT to learn from.
The very reason I follow you is what you said yourself - you are much more relatable to me than many of the US based financial youtubers. Thank you for you realistic and postive content.
I'm so happy you shared this. It's one of the things I have struggled with. I don't like many of the gurus' patterns. Though my journey is a bit different to many, I still find your guidance far more helpful and realistic. Love the ethical principles too. I do still have obstacles like my determination to escape the dole trap and the barriers there to moving onto self-employment. We have no savings or other income at all so needing a careful plan to remain legal and ethical in my journey off benefits. So thank you.
I was so lucky to find u few years ago! Love your videos and you motivated me to create my own business...health and fitness related. U are the best 🌟!
Refreshing perspective … my husband and I have a similar vision to work to give … never thought about starting with that as our philosophy first. Thank you
Thanks for sharing this, Jennifer. Your story and growth is really inspiring. The things that make you stand out are your values, how relatable you are and the fact that you don't sacrifice every waking moment, thinking of how to make more money in place of spending time with family or giving back. Keep it up.👏🏾👏🏾
Amazing! I stumbled upon your channel when researching ETSs and ended up binging your videos. This one here is a gem! I love the idea of leaving a positive impact with our generated wealth. Thank you for reminding us with that.
Such an inspiration, passive income, very powerful. Your desire to help others is your purpose, you know your strengths, your passion shines through, you also have the understanding of the power of giving back. I’ve started listening to your podcasts, so refreshing. Thank you
Been watching you a while now, and I ask myself....if I could describe you in one word what would it be. I think Honest. Your financial tips are always genuine,on point and practical. Thanks again
This is the best video I have heard in September 2021, I came across you accidentally but you really have a principle lead business, I will keep you posted to my September journey 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you for sharing your experiences. Your honesty shines through I agree with the methodology you've developed in growing your business. I will implement the knowledge you gave so I will do the same for others 👍🏽🌟
Great point about asking customer for content. To me it is like I have to invent the business for the company as a customer. And I am not paid for this. I always get slightly irritated by the customer surveys where company bosses should first themselves go and check their businesses in my opinion.
Your videos has been very helpful to me especially as you are based in Scotland. I understand what you mean about most information being geared towards USA.
Now you're in a much better financial situation, how much better do you feel in your life compared to how you felt beforehand? Just curious to see how worth, changing jobs is?
Great question Jake - the honest answer is that the money growth has nothing to do with my change in feelings about my life BUT it was a by-product I think that gave me the nudge in a direction that I wanted to go. I think changing jobs/creating incomes based on how I felt best my talents could serve right now allowing me to tap into freedom mindset that I never knew was there. That freedom mindset of knowing "I'm always looked after" and I can live life trying lots of different things is what has changed everything for me.
Hey Jennifer, love your channel and content:) if I can give some constructive feedback, sometimes I feel the length of your videos are a little long, and I tend to opt for other finance videos that are around the 10-15mins mark max, shorter and snappier points. Just feedback from my personal point of view, other viewers here may be different, but thought Id mention, thank you & hope you are well.
Completely appreciate that - I use timestamps where possible to help if you want to jump around, but with content we aren't able to make it exactly to suit every taste, and naturally aware that I won't suit everyone. That is ok, and appreciate any times that you wish to watch me or others equally.
Phew, you've freed me🤸🏾♀️🤸🏾♀️ I was just going through a ' how to' course and I wasn't resonating with it. It was just sending me to sleep. Yes to listening and trusting our intuition. !! Thank you.
I like the message here, but regarding allowing the right people to find you: this would be very very slow in some cases. What about presenting your videos in facebook groups? If I didn't do that I'd probably be at 20 subs instead of nearly 200 within my first year. So I think depending on your niche you do need to work on getting your message out to the right audience. many thanks.
Thank you for the comment - and I think also you nail the message on the head. We each need to follow our own blueprint to get audience in what ways feel right for us. Although I do believe if you make great content the audience will find you though too. It's our own unique balance of seeking people who we can help.
Two things I love about your business model , giving and having quality of life while you save or create. Having integrity is the key .
Great video! A welcome antidote to the many “hussle for every hour of the waking and non waking day”, “sacrifice your values, family and social life” type videos that seem a recipe for misery and burnout. Great to see you doing so well your own way.

What I love about your videos is your honesty, and down to earth practical advice. Brilliant. Thank you Jennifer! 👏🏻
Thank you so much!
Great video Jennifer with great advice. Not every model that is a success for others is a success for you.
So true!

Love the alternative approach to building a business. Sounds and feels so right 👍 I’ve subscribed based on this video. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Great point about asking customer for content. To me it is like I have to invent the business for the company as a customer. And I am not paid for this. I always get slightly irritated by the customer surveys where company bosses should first themselves go and check their businesses in my opinion.

Hi Jen hope you and your family are safe and well next month is going to be the start of my financial freedom journey
Love your honesty and you have an incredible business model
Thank you so much 🤗 my dear! You are a kind soul.
Your videos has been very helpful to me especially as you are based in Scotland. I understand what you mean about most information being geared towards USA.
Love your video I want to start my own online buissnes but don’t think I have a proper skill others can benefit from
Love this, thank you. Focussing on one thing is the most important for me.
Absolutely!
So inspiring 😍 one day!
I totally agree with the runway approach. I am looking to build that myself.
Excellent! I really needed this inspiration.
Brilliant. So many different income streams.
Excellent, and I completely agree that you do not pay for advertising. You will just be paying for a non target group.
I wish I knew all this years ago. X
Now you're in a much better financial situation, how much better do you feel in your life compared to how you felt beforehand? Just curious to see how worth, changing jobs is?

Are you in the West end of Glasgow?
Phew, you've freed me🤸🏾♀️🤸🏾♀️

Arnold Schwarzenegger says to only sleep 6 hours, Jeff Bezos says it's important to get 8 hours and be well rested.
No afraid not.
@@JenniferAMThomson . I think it's important to get a good sleep like Jeff says. It's better for your helf anyway.
That Henry Ford quote is a myth, though :)
