I am glad youtube recommended me this video, btw I was wondering are you guys looking for a short or long-form video editor?
If someone can point me to a video where Rachel talks about how she set up the donations on her website for her digital products, I would appreciate that a lot! I want to try it myself on a couple ebooks I am working on.
You are doing great!!!

Anyone else notice she said 9?

Your video production is no joke. If you can write, film, edit, and produce videos at this quality you can probably add video production consultation for your 10th income stream. Very impressive!
Wow, thank you! That means a lot :) It took me around 13 hours to edit this video.
That is impressive. To be honest you are my first female mentor (Ux Designer)
It is really amazing!
@@rachelhow What software do you use for video editing?
@@rachelhow Wow that's a lotta hours! Just wondering, your channel is quite sizeable now, why not hire the video editing out?
i love that phrase "if you don't know what you want you end up with a lot you don't" really resonated with me.
I like that you mentioned "self-confidence". It's a real struggle. It has been a major hindrance for me. Thank you, Rachel.
honestly I struggle with it up until now. Always judging my own ideas, my decisions etc. It's something we practice to be kinder to ourselves every day and keep going 💪🏻
hi miss i want a job please help me i am in financial trouble
Best advice I ever got was, "Invest For The Long Haul, Don't Get Too Greedy And Don't Get Too Scared. The biggest risk of all is not taking one
Job will pay your bills, business will make you rich but investment will make and keep you wealthy
Having monitored my port_folio performance which has made a jaw dropping $370k from two quarters alone, I've understood why experienced investors make enormous returns from the market
@@toralayous8500 Interesting, I have a lump sum doing absolutely nothing at all in my bank account, I wanna get something started with it. You seem to be doing excellent for yourself. Do you trade on your own?
I trade with Expert Denise Mitchell, A FINRA regulated broker. Met her sometime early last year at a startup funding event. She had some interesting things to say about the state of algorithmic trading today. Very obviously, it's reflecting on my portfolio
Please, how much can a beginner start with and does She demand for any service charges? I want to give her a try.
When you said "Write down what you learned", it really inspired me. It sounds really simple but that's what I didn't do much, I always rely on my memory. I'll start doing it more. Thanks Rachel.
Thank you for watching and glad you found something helpful here!
"Multiple projects yield creativity" - this really resonated with me. I've always struggled with staying focused on just the one project as I get bored but as long as my projects contribute to one goal, I can see the picture very clearly. Some of my best ideas come from working on other projects...Thanks for sharing Rachel! Your content is gold :)
Try the book "refuse to choose" by barbara sher if you haven't already. It might be useful :)
thank you for the suggestion. Will definitely check it out! :)@@emparr1124
I love how you detail everything and put a timer on each part, it's so great
Your videos show such UX excellence - I love all the satisfying sounds and wayfinding markers, the clear structure, the overall visually clean + pleasant experience. Inspiring to see someone with clear UX intuition translate it into a really satisfying video.
What are wayfinding markers? 🤔
I really appreciate your open honesty. This video came at the right time for me since I'm a few days away from being self employed! Thank you for always being so open, Rachel! ♡
This was brilliantly put together Rachel. I’ve been following your videos for months now and with professional help, I’m making outstanding progress with my money decisions.
As long as you diversify your portfolio, any single stock or investment that you own shouldn’t have too much of an impact on your overall return. If it does, diversifying might be the right choice for you, as one can also try out other commodities. I now have a balanced portfolio that is yielding me profit thanks to guidance from Jonas W. Herman.

Is he taking commissions for his services? Yes, I’m I still making money in the process. Hell yes!

I started working with Jonas back in June, and my financial goals have never been clearer. It’s like having a strategic partner for my money with a solid track record.
Thanks for the advice, both of you. It’s reassuring to hear positive experiences.
I feel more confident about moving forward with Herman now. I just shot him a mail. Thanks for sharing your experiences!
Girl you give me so much hope! Love your videos, very encouraging. Also love all the design work!
I hardly comment on videos but this is just too beautiful not to drop a word on. Everything here is beautiful, from the relevant message to the perceived honesty, to the clean editing, to the simple communication. I picked lessons I'll apply. Thank you and well done.
The level of planning, creativity, and attention-to-detail in this video is the most refreshing thing on CZcams. Thank you!!!
Wow, thank you! 🥹
Your videos make me think about a lot of things that I haven't considered yet, superb Rachel ! I almost fell out completely in my mid 40’s but thankfully now I’m close to retiring in a satisfactory manner and have majority of my financial goals ticked.
Your work is really impressive and even the life advice you give on the way are just so good. Please keep it up!!!
I’ve been more curious and watching these lately, this is the best video on this subject I’ve seen. Amazing advice
This video was amazing! Super inspiring how organized and clean the video is. The information is also really useful. I love it! Subscribed
Thank you so much for the inspiration! I am UX Designer and have been feeling a little burn out but to be honest watching you grow and seeing you succeed has been very motivating for myself and I just want to say thank you! :D
By far, this has been the best video for productivity I have seen! Great work! 👍🏽
You’re such an inspiration, lots of times you don’t come across professionals in the digital field having business mindset and this video helped!
love the video. no fluff, no 'buy my course', no bs. thank you.
I love how practical and straightforward you are. Thank you so much for sharing this.
You are so welcome!
As usual, I love the content of you videos! You are honest and concise! I also think your editing is such an engaging part of watching your videos, thank you!
THe production quality of your videos is sublime!!! keep it up
I admire your ambition and drive so much. For some reason it feels impossible for me to put in this level of effort towards anything even though I know it would better my life. Just thinking about getting started on a journey like yours, building all these different revenue streams, makes me feel overwhelmed to the point of feeling paralyzed. It’s so much easier to just keep doing what I know how to do, the same day-to-day routine at my 9-5 job, and that’s it. I do wish I felt more passionate and driven and motivated and confident. I know I’ve got no one to blame but myself for not doing more with my life and setting myself on a path where I can become more financially comfortable and independent. Like I said, I admire you so much!
This can't work for everyone. It's more accurate to say that she just tackled more projects than a normal programmer/designer would than do side hustles. This is all within the scope of her abilities. If you work a 9-5, it's near impossible to develop other income streams short term. It would be better for you to develop your skills and move companies as you gain experience.
You can gain a skill doing something in sync with you. Everything takes time no rush. You dont have to do all 9 streams at once. Even 2 is good to try
Thanks for sharing your progress with us Rachel. i really love and admire your video each time
Thank you so much, really appreciate it!
Thank you Rachel. Every video you make gets me so inpsired. Thank you for being a comfortable space that I can learn from.
You are so welcome! ❤️
Love how you explain everything with ease! Great video!
I will be forever grateful to you, you changed my entire life and I will continue to preach on your behalf for the whole world to hear you saved me from huge financial debt with just a small investment, thank you Veronica Hoy.
I'm surprised that you just mentioned Veronica Hoy here. I met her at a conference in 2018 and we have been working together ever since.
The very first time we tried, we invested $1400 and after a week, we received $5230. That really helped us a lot to pay up our bills.
Hoy's expertise in customizing investment portfolios based on changing market conditions and personal risk profiles is exceptional. It's not a one-size-fits-all approach, which is crucial in crypto investing.
You trade with Veronica Hoy too? Wow that woman has been a blessing to me and my family.
I'm new at this, please how can I reach her?
First video of yours I watch and I am amazed! From the content itself to the editing. But the information you relay is very clear and it really resonated with me. Thank you for this!!
As always, many thanks for your shares Rachel.
Love your current setup for video Rachel
Thank you so much. This was very motivational for me. I am currently building my second income stream next to my main job. And this was just so good. Especially the mindfulness of consuming content helped me alot lately.
I want you to know that your audience is endlessly thankful for such thoughtful and always inspiring videos. I'm waiting for the next one eagerly❤
Thank You! This content helped me focus and want to keep going and getting clear on my creative path.
Wonderful! Happy 2023, and I hope the contents in this video would help you get closer to your goals this year.
Rachel, your knowledge and insight is very helpful !I’m jotting notes as you give suggestions on how to have multiple streams of income. Thank you so much for high quality videos that are equipping us all! It is like receiving a packaged gift with a bow on top!
Thank you for watching too❤️
Inspiring and insightful as always. Have a great year!
Thanks so much! Have a great year to you too :)
Thanks for adding value Rachel
For all those looking for a quick recap of the 10 lessons that Rachel has shared:
1. Multiple side projects can yield creativity.
2. Create an inspiring space for yourself.
3. Not rely on a single income stream.
4. To grow your savings fast, work on freelance projects.
5. Build tiny products/projects ASAP.
6. Launch the MVP before the full product.
7. Lifestyle inflation is your worst enemy.
8. Reduce friction in your daily workflow.
9. Get clear about what you want in life.
10. Don't blindly consume information. Take notes, or you are likely to forget them.
(Realised I'm 1 yr late lol)
This wasn't clickbait , really awesome video, loved it. Keep making such videos and inspiring us.
Great video Rachel! Learned a lot. I am currently in the phase of building my own digital products but was a bit unsure of how to charge for them. But I love the idea of putting the MVP out for people to use and pay in form of donations so that I can get feedback to improve upon the product and have an increased confidence as well!
Thank you very much, Rachel! Your content is very helpful!
You're so welcome!
This was so beautiful delivered ❤ thank you 😊
This was amazing content, loved it from start to finish
One of the best videos of how to create different income streams and, more importantly, how to organize them. She does it very clearly, objectively, and without trying to overdo it; other youtubers in this space really exaggerate how much you can earn. She shows what is realistic and it's quite good. I learned some helpful tips from you. Thank you.
I'm very glad I made wise financial decisions that transformed my life permanently; I'm aiming to retire next year... For any creative individual to be successful in life, investment should constantly be on his mind.
I agree with you and believe that the key to financial security is having the correct investment ideas to allow you to earn more money. I'm not sure who agrees with me, but I recommend real estate, cryptocurrency, and stocks.
Yeah!! It would be more advantageous and profitable if you actually traded on the digital currency bitcoin; I've been trading since the dip and have made a lot of dollars through trading.
@@Amybeth_T How does all of this trading work? I'm quite interested, but I'm not sure how to proceed. I've heard that some people make a fortune trading.
@@AlfredR92 Trading is easier with correct direction, especially from a professional. For newcomers who are unsure of how crypto genuinely works and want to profit from it, I would recommend investing with a professional like Andrew Glenn Adams, as it helps safeguard and limit the possibility of losses.
@@Amybeth_T I'm amazed; it's wonderful to hear others acknowledge Andrew Glenn Adams. I lost my job in April 2022, but now I'm back on top, and I always win with his help. He earns my honor since not only does he make my trading easier, but his cryptocurrency market analysis is excellent.
This video is so well-made and super meaningful! It really shows how much work you've put into this. Thanks for the advice!
You're so welcome! 🥹🫶
I admire your resilience to be independent.
These lessons you have outlined are helpful.

Thanks for making such videos, you gave a very practical approach towards making passive income.
U come across as very real and that is a very good usp amidst all the cyberspace clutter. Congratz :)

Wow, the amount of research and thought you put into this is incredible! You've tackled a complex topic in a way that's both informative and engaging. This is a valuable resource for anyone looking to be successful in this digital world!
Thanks for saying it's ok to have multiple projects, a lot of people state it's best to pick 1 project but like you when I come to a hurdle or block I can stall and maybe even give up... now when I am stuck with one I move to the other one and they all move at vatious times, I feel way more productive having multiple project. Thanks great video!
What a brilliant work.🤩🤩
Thank you for this video! 🙏
Great content. It’s inspiring to know. We don’t have to upload the videos just for the sake of consistency. Great content overall. Keep up the good work.

Yo Andres. Thanks for watching! Wishing you the same in 2023 too. My financial goal this year is to maintain the same revenue (while working LESS) 😄 As long as it doesn't drop, I'm pretty happy.
