If you've been meaning to figure out AI but didn't know where to start, there's a free way to do it this week. I use AI EVERY DAY! It does a lot of work for me, and that frees me up to do projects I wouldn't have gotten to otherwise. AI for Business is running a live online summit starting tomorrow, Wednesday through Friday, 1:00 to 3:30pm ET each day. The sessions cover building a simple app with no coding, and setting up AI to handle everyday work. It's free, it's online, and there's no software to buy. Save your free seat here: https://aisummit.retireready247.com If you're signing up, comment below so I know to look for you. Disclosure: I'm an AI for Business affiliate. The Summit is free, but I may earn a commission if you choose to buy a VIP or PRO upgrade. Thanks!

I’m Jennifer 💜 I spent 26+ years behind the chair doing hair, and I genuinely loved it. But eventually I had to admit something I didn’t really want to admit. My body wasn’t going to let me do it forever. Chronic pain made standing behind a chair all day harder and harder, and honestly, I’d always wanted something different too. More freedom. More flexibility. And a way to make money that didn’t depend on me physically showing up every single day. Network marketing was my first real introduction to making money online, and I learned a TON from it. But I eventually got tired of the chasing, the pressure, and having so much of my income tied to one company. So I started building differently. Today I have multiple ways I make money online, I get to work from wherever I want, and I’ve built communities full of people figuring this stuff out right alongside me. And that’s probably my favorite part. I love helping women realize there isn’t just one way to make money online. You can build something that actually fits your life, your personality, your strengths, and the season you’re in. So if you’re figuring out your next chapter too, give yourself grace. It’s a journey of becoming. Excited to connect learn from @Richard Dias and grow together Tell New where you are from in the comments Kentucky gal here

No amounts here, on purpose. Just the list, because the list is the point. A rental check. An oil and gas royalty deposit. A small app that charges a monthly fee. Three deposits, three different reasons, and not one of them needed me to punch a clock. The app still takes real work, and so does the print-on-demand shop I am building now, but it is work on my schedule. I still think about making money, having enough, and not outliving my money. What changed is that I think about what to add rather than how fast the account is draining. What is on your list right now, even if it is one line? -Rich Results vary, and I am not a financial advisor.

I hear a version of this most weeks, and I take it seriously rather than talk anyone out of it. Somebody with $80,000 saved and one stream paying $600 a month is in a better position than somebody with $250,000 and nothing coming in but withdrawals, and it is not close. The first person has something that can grow. The second has something that can only shrink. That is not a reason to feel good about a small balance. It is a reason to stop treating the balance as the plan. So the smaller the number, the MORE the page matters, because the page is the only document that shows you the lever you still have. I was not starting from zero when I retired at 55 in 2022, and I am not going to pretend otherwise. But the streams came first and they started small. Results vary, and I am not a financial advisor. If your balance is smaller than you would like, what is the one thing you would put on line 3 if you had to pick this month? -Rich
