928. How To Make REAL Passive Income

I’m joined by Patricia Carlin, a payments industry powerhouse and co-founder of Residual Payments. I’m all about finding creative ways to bring in extra income, and ​​becoming a digital payment expert is a great way to do that. Patricia explains exactly what being a payment processor is, how the job works, and what to expect around the workload. She also pulls back the curtain on the earning possibilities for someone who really puts in the work and dedication to their business, and shares her tips for how to land new accounts. 

Patricia is upfront about the most common challenges that she sees people struggle with, and how she helps her community break though mindset blocks to create a successful side hustle. She knows firsthand what it’s like to dismantle limiting belief systems and we touch on how she’s learning to embrace the label of ‘powerful woman.’ Chris and I always stress the importance of having multiple streams of income, especially in today’s economy, so listen in to hear about this amazing opportunity!

927. This Is Your Sign To Switch Up Your Day Right Now!

Even if you love your routine, if your day-to-day stays the same, you can’t stretch and grow into new areas. You need to push yourself to try different experiences and shift your perspective. I love to switch things up by having a conversation with someone new and learning from them. Trying a new activity, workout routine, or being in an unknown environment gives us a better understanding of the decisions that we should make in order to have the life that we want. Tune in to hear what I like to do when I’m feeling stuck and want to shake things up.

926. Top Tools We Use To Refocus Our Energy On A Vision

Chris and I have been loving our summer here at our lake house in Wisconsin, but when we envisioned our time here, we didn’t take into account some of the extra responsibilities that go into making this dream a reality. Things don’t always go as planned, but learning to embrace the hard work that goes into seeing your vision through makes you stronger and more appreciative of the end result. We discuss what it feels like to have an ‘expectation hangover’ and tools we use to refocus our energy on bringing a vision together.
