    Your video production is no joke. If you can write, film, edit, and produce videos at this quality you can probably add video production consultation for your 10th income stream. Very impressive!
  • @eleanorafable
    I like that you mentioned "self-confidence". It's a real struggle. It has been a major hindrance for me. Thank you, Rachel.

    i love that phrase "if you don't know what you want you end up with a lot you don't" really resonated with me.
  • @davidOmoL
    Best advice I ever got was, "Invest For The Long Haul, Don't Get Too Greedy And Don't Get Too Scared. The biggest risk of all is not taking one
  • "Multiple projects yield creativity" - this really resonated with me. I've always struggled with staying focused on just the one project as I get bored but as long as my projects contribute to one goal, I can see the picture very clearly. Some of my best ideas come from working on other projects...Thanks for sharing Rachel! Your content is gold :)

    When you said "Write down what you learned", it really inspired me. It sounds really simple but that's what I didn't do much, I always rely on my memory. I'll start doing it more. Thanks Rachel.
  • @Ferocious923
    This was brilliantly put together Rachel. I’ve been following your videos for months now and with professional help, I’m making outstanding progress with my money decisions.
  • @grizforshort
    The level of planning, creativity, and attention-to-detail in this video is the most refreshing thing on YouTube. Thank you!!!
  • Your videos show such UX excellence — I love all the satisfying sounds and wayfinding markers, the clear structure, the overall visually clean + pleasant experience. Inspiring to see someone with clear UX intuition translate it into a really satisfying video.
  • @ThePk8mile
    I love how you detail everything and put a timer on each part, it's so great
  • @malayka2175
    I really appreciate your open honesty. This video came at the right time for me since I'm a few days away from being self employed! Thank you for always being so open, Rachel! ♡
  • Girl you give me so much hope! Love your videos, very encouraging. Also love all the design work!
  • @yemipworld
    I hardly comment on videos but this is just too beautiful not to drop a word on. Everything here is beautiful, from the relevant message to the perceived honesty, to the clean editing, to the simple communication. I picked lessons I'll apply. Thank you and well done.
  • @shawnamigo4603
    Your work is really impressive and even the life advice you give on the way are just so good. Please keep it up!!!
  • @weicaihon
    Your videos make me think about a lot of things that I haven't considered yet, superb Rachel ! I almost fell out completely in my mid 40’s but thankfully now I’m close to retiring in a satisfactory manner and have majority of my financial goals ticked.
  • @chris51282
    Thank you so much for the inspiration! I am UX Designer and have been feeling a little burn out but to be honest watching you grow and seeing you succeed has been very motivating for myself and I just want to say thank you! :D
