Work Less, Earn More

The market for AI services is hot right now and wide open, but it's not going to stay that way forever. Just like back in the early 2000s when we all got our first cell phones, the world went mobile and millions of millionaires were created as a result,this is the start of a new age of Artificial Intelligence, and this is the time when you can get in on the ground floor and really make the most of...

There is a huge opportunity out there with AI right now, but it’s not going to last. More and more people are jumping on the AI bandwagon, and you might be afraid that you are going to be replaced, but that’s not the case, at least not right now. Right now, what will happen is that you’ll be replaced by another human using AI if you are not. So what should you do? ChatGPT is the world’s smartest r...

Most small business owners have at least thought about hiring a virtual assistant but it may not always be possible financially.  What if I told you there was a way you could have a virtual assistant for free? Someone who is fluent in English, is a good writer, can do research, and has a wide variety of skills. It sounds too good to be true, but it’s a reality with ChatGPT. You might have already...

Today, I’m talking with my friend Dustin Heiner. Both of us run online businesses where we earn income by selling digital products, but we also both invest in real estate. I earn the bulk of my income, both active and passive, through my online business, but Dustin earns the bulk of his income directly through his real estate investments. So we both had a lot to learn from each other! I wanted to...

Welcome to the final episode of The 100K Method. I created this series because when I started my online business, I was broke, living paycheck-to-paycheck, and my biggest goal was to create a consistent stream of passive income, but I had a really hard time figuring out how. In this episode, you’ll learn about $100K Mastermind, our online business mentorship program, and how we can help you get a...

In this episode, you’ll learn whether or not the $100K Method would work for you. Because the truth is, it doesn’t work for everybody. Some people and some types of businesses can earn hundreds of thousands of passive income with it, while others wouldn’t be able to use it to earn a dime. Implementing the $100K Method is an intensive process, so I want to make sure that you are completely clear ab...

When you use a graphic design software - Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Canva, etc - you can change the size of an object by grabbing the little handles on the corner and dragging them, making the object smaller or larger. This is called scaling. To scale an object is to change its size. Businesses can be scaled as well. You might start out as a one person show, doing everything yourself with limit...

Online courses have huge earning potential but they can also be massive wastes of time.  A lot of people create online courses because they want the upside, but they create the wrong course, or they don’t create the course in the right way, and they end up not making any money. Trust me, I have been there. The first three or four courses that I made were complete flops. But over the past few years...

In this episode, I’m going to be sharing a bit of tough love and helping you honestly answer the question, “Is my course ready to scale to six figures?” Because, in my experience, a course simply not being ready is one of the most common reasons that people fail to reach their passive income goals with it. It’s not that they don’t have a good marketing strategy, understand how funnels work, or hav...

What would happen to your business if you suddenly were unavailable, if you couldn’t do the things that you typically do to run your business, generate traffic, and generate leads? What would happen if you suddenly had no capacity to show up on social media and share content? That’s exactly what happened to my longtime friend, Tara Wagner. You might think that she would've seen a huge drop off on...

In this episode, we’re going to cover three unfortunate mistakes most people make when trying to build passive income funnels. Mistakes that don’t just reduce the success of a funnel, they can completely cripple it and stop it from ever generating any revenue at all. Obviously you’ll want to avoid these mistakes but not just because they can cost you potential income.  Building a flawed funnel is...

In this episode, we’re going to take a look at evergreen funnels and live launching. These are two different marketing strategies you can use to sell courses online.  Both evergreen funnels and live launching can effectively be used to sell hundreds of thousands (even millions!) of dollars for an online course. And to this day, I continue to use both in my business. However, they’re much more effe...

If you are really multi-passionate, it's likely that researching your ideas, weighing the pros and cons and other methods of analysis will still leave you undecided about what niche to choose. Because the problem is that you love all your ideas and you can't stand the thought of scrapping any of them. Today, I’m sharing three strategies for overcoming your indecision, and finally picking a niche....

When I had my first two kids in my early twenties, maternity leave was really rough. It kind of happened, it kind of didn't, and a lot of things went wrong. But when I was pregnant with my third baby, I completed a couple of projects that made a massive difference in my income and allowed me to take three full months of paid maternity leave. So today, I’m sharing that story and telling you what ha...

In a lot of ways, the opportunity of today's creator economy reminds me of the California Gold Rush. While some early adopters were able to make a lot of money, most people were very skeptical of the idea that you could make money as a content creator. Fast forward a few years, and people have caught on that this is a real thing. But now they might be wondering if success is only for the lucky few...

If you’ve been listening to the show for a while, you’ll know that I’ve interviewed people about a variety of different business models, which may leave you wondering what the best one really is. The truth is, there is no such thing as the best business model because different things work for different people. It all depends on your goals and even your personality. For some people, rather than cou...

In just a few weeks, I'm going to be turning 30 years old. This last decade has been such a crazy one filled with so many adventures, starting with getting married at 20, then having my first baby the following year, and buying our first house the year after that. And since then, we’ve gone on to buy a couple more houses. I had four more babies, started several businesses, and visited 12 countries...

Financial freedom is a common goal and an amazing thing to experience, but it often gets tied together with the idea of penny-pinching today so that you can save for the future, with the end goal being to amass as much money and stuff as possible. Regular people call this saving for retirement. Others take it to an extreme and call it F.I.R.E: Financial Independence, Retire Early. And some people...

I have a new baby! Surprised? So was I! Meet Ezra Perkins. He’s almost three weeks old and he arrived three weeks early, so he truly was a surprise for us. Today I want to take a few minutes to share the story of Ezra’s birth because it’s kind of a funny story. Listen to the full episode to hear: How Ezra surprised us on our 10-year anniversary trip to the beach Learn more about Gillian: Small Bus...

Have you ever had a moment of clarity when you suddenly realized that your life doesn’t have to be the way that it is? Maybe it’s when you see someone else’s life, or something on Instagram, and you see how beautiful it is and you wonder, why doesn’t my life look like that, or feel like that? Sometimes it’s the moment when we realize the only reason our life is the way it is–that we live where we...

There are two big reasons I wanted to talk to Jereshia Hawk. First, a few years ago she overhauled her business to make it more streamlined, a move that has proved wildly successful. I wanted to know what that looked like from the inside, what simplifications she made that had such a big impact, and if there were other factors that contributed to the way her business took off like a rocket. Second...

Is bigger, always better? The point of running a business is to make money. Making more money means your company is more successful. And a bigger business makes more money, right? Well, not always. Turns out the profit margins on big businesses can be razor thin, or even non-existent. It can be easy to get caught up in messages that you should grow your business to be as large and as successful as...

I frequently get questions about affiliate marketing, and it’s something that I do myself. If you’re not familiar with affiliate marketing, the short version is that you promote someone else’s products in exchange for a commission whenever you make a successful sale. But there is a lot of confusion and false perceptions about what affiliate marketing is, who it’s a good option for, and how it coul...
