5 Tips to Kick Your Retirement Savings Into High Gear

Updated: Apr 8, 2020

SUCH challenging times we’re in – eh?

Probably like you, my financial portfolio and I have been through two recessions and 9/11; each time there were lots of sleepless nights and truly high anxiety. And each took a lot of hard work to simply get back to ‘even’ financially, let alone ahead again.

Here we go again – the recent COVID-19 pandemic has created havoc with our financial portfolios. For most of us, we’ve just lost nearly 30% in 90 days.

In practical dollars, if you had $300,000 in your 401K, you potentially lost $90,000. That means you may have lost more than an entire YEAR of retirement income.


Experts say it takes 3-5 years to earn back every year of lost income. OUCH. Why? Because while the markets will go up again, none of us are likely to get a $90k raise in one year.

So, what options do we have to replace the investment income we just lost – without cramming a second job into our already overpacked lives?


Here are some ideas:

  1. Create an online curriculum and offer it on Udemy: This is good one, especially for professionals who have a lot of expertise. But this will take quite a bit of time.

  2. Become a tutor: I like this one a lot. Giving back is always rewarding! The trick here is finding clients who will pay for tutoring right now. A lot of folks are scaling back their expenses because they’re all in the same boat we’re in.

  3. Become a Social Media Outreach Consultant: If social media is your jam this is another good one. My SMC friends tell me it can be lucrative, but it takes a lot of time to build enough of a following to leverage it into income.

  4. Create a Blog: If you like to write this is another great idea. I sound like a broken record here, but it takes time to find enough followers to turn it into an additional revenue stream.

  5. Or, do what I did after the last recession: Add a part-time online, direct-to-consumer business that you can scale up very quickly. Eight years ago, I did this after we’d lost a whopping 50% of our retirement portfolio and thought we’d be working until we were 70. I became an independent consultant with a globally recognized skincare company – which is now the #1 skincare company in North America. It was one of the best business decisions I’ve ever made, even though I knew very little (or cared much) about skincare. I saw the huge business opportunity to recession-proof my retirement portfolio and so put my hand up.*


Here’s why I want you to look at this idea, too.

  • Your investment is minimal, with the ability to recoup that investment in 30 days.

  • You can earn income your first month, then generate ongoing residual income within your first few months.

  • I can show you how you could earn up to $1,000 in 60 days* - would that be worth a quick phone call with me? I think so. I also have a flyer I can send to you via email.

  • If you’re wondering if this is real, YES. Can you do it? YES. If I can, you can. Will we help you? ABSOLUTELY. You’ll have a huge community of like-minded women to support you every day.


Let’s schedule a call so you can ask … what I’m sure are … your many questions. I’ll walk you through how I was able to scale up quickly in just a few off-work hours a week. I’ll also share how my free 90-day Success System coaching program is helping new independent consultants scale up their business into quick profitability.
