Can I see you in my office? HR will be joining us.
Tyler B. was blindsided by a phrase no one wants to hear.
… Especially out of the blue…
…Especially when you’re the breadwinner of a family…
“We’re going to have to let you go.”
Worse?
He was getting the boot to save face with a client.
Worse still?
It wasn’t even ‘ol Tyler’s screw up.
The issue came from higher up the food chain.
But was the VP in charge going to stick his neck out?
Not a snow cone’s chance in the desert.
After a few days of “Oh $***. What am I going to do now?”
Our Mr. B decided…
“I need to steer my own ship.”
And you know what?
That’s what he started doing.
Now, I’m not saying Tyler never took another gig…
…Or never worked for anyone else again…
He has. Several times.
The difference now?
He doesn’t NEED any job.
… Maybe more importantly?...
He doesn’t need to KEEP any job.
Tyler steers his own ship.
How did Tyler go from carrying out his belongings in a box?…
…Wondering what he was going to tell his wife…
To being able to work… or quit...
Anytime he wants?
In short order he…
Picked up the skill of buying and selling phones and in demand devices.
Fun stuff (like iPads and the Nintendo Switch) people want and handsomely for - even used.
Now, any time or day…
… No matter if he’s at home or travelling…
Tyler knows he can find sought after products…
… Make a quick deal to buy them on the cheap…
And flip a couple items for more than most people make working 8 - 10 hours.
No office politics.
No manager scapegoating him.
The only orders Tyler follows now? Are from his wife.
Other than that?
He steers his own ship.
Here’s how the phone flipping side hustle works.
In your corner,
James Foster
