My credit card balance was $40,058.48

I knew I was spending a lot of money but… damn.

At first my heart dropped when I saw the balance… but then I quickly found a smirk on my face.

I did it! I thought… I finally was able to spend more than $1,000 a day on my side hustles.

It may sound strange for someone to be proud of how high their credit card bill got.

But for me what it meant was I achieved a new level of scale for my business.

My side hustles are all online, no office space, little equipment… so my overhead is really spending money on advertising Google/YouTube & some Facebook.

I grew my first side hustle all organically using SEO & YouTube and have only been using paid ads for myself really 3–4 years. Before my experiences working with paid ads was from client budgets used on client objectives.

I remember how scared and nervous I was spending just $10 on a Google ad before to try to sell something online.

And the truth is I had every right to be scared… back then I had NO idea what I was doing! It felt like gambling!

My income has doubled every year for the last 3 years. I felt like I was calling my credit card company every month asking…
