Kristin Wilson jumps back on the podcast from isolation in Miami and shares the mental and emotional techniques she is using to keep her spirits up and remain productive under the COVID-19 Stay-at-Home Orders. She gives tips on meditation resources, the importance of limiting news and social media, and increasing substantive virtual social connections with people. She then talks about the keys to remaining productive while working from home in our new reality. She shares tips on finding remote work opportunities and standing out when you apply for remote jobs. She explains how to leverage the network you already have and focus on the skills you already possess. She also talks about the best products and software she recommends for remote work. Kristin then explains that her 6-figure revenue from her relocation business was abruptly cut off by the global pandemic and explains how she has adjusted her mindset and supplemented her income. She talks about the importance for everyone to start building multiple streams of income and then proceeds to debunk a bunch of the misnomers about making money online. She shares the key to making money online quickly and explains how to craft an offer that aligns with the unique skills you already possess and focuses on who you can help today.
