      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.

      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 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 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.

    Yes! Lol RUclips did send me to you. Nice stumble, as I've been struggling with feeling "stuck" in my office job and professional life. I need to stop doubting myself and get these books written. They're not going to write themselves 😊 I'm an amazing baker (per my customers), but due to my recent Lupus diagnosis I cannot do it anymore. Baking was going to be the vehicle to fulltime fiction writing. Working on Not giving up on myself. I want to write and be free (mentally and in my schedule). Thank you!👌🏽😊🙋🏾‍♀️

    Quick side story: I was exiting a Costco and one of the salesmen asked if I was interested in solar power for my house. I replied that it’s not of interest to me because I don’t have a physical house and he immediately frowned and said “aww I’m sorry, don’t worry you’ll get there!” and I just laughed at that bold assumption! And the conditioning around what we should want and how we should live in American society. Anything outside of the traditional system does not get much respect or regard. In my videos I talk about how scary it is for people to accept the unknown. I do believe we are all doing this internal shifting work at varying levels for sure.
