How One Small Idea Made Olivia a Fortune

Dear Luxury Community,

Olivia never considered herself to be an entrepreneur. Full time teacher, ardent about education, earning barely enough to make ends meet. Month after month, there was hardly enough left over from her pay to meet her rent, bills, and student loans. Freeing herself financially from her paychecks seemed like a pipe dream for her.

Then one day, she had an idea.

It Was Just a Simple Shift That Made Everything Different

While tutoring students after school, Olivia noticed how parents were always on the lookout for resources, study guides, worksheets, lesson plans, you name it. After a while, she began thinking to herself, why am I giving these away? Couldn’t I sell them?

Weekend after weekend, Olivia started creating high quality educational resources and placing these in an online marketplace for teachers. She made a few hundred dollars the first month. A thousand the second month. By the end of that one year, she was earning more from her side gig than her full time job.

Eventually, she jumped in feet first, she left teaching to run her business full time. Today, her products have grown into a six figure business, granting her that financial freedom that, prior to her journey, she had never known possible.

Lessons Learned from Olivia's Journey

  • Your expertise is worth something. What you know is actually a money making skill.

  • Small ideas actually build empires. The first product was a simple worksheet and now it is a whole enterprise.

  • Turn that into passive income for years to come once it's set up.

What About You?

What skill or knowledge do you already have that could be turned into a business? Fire away! I would love to hear from you!

To Your Success,

Phillip
