Low energy, unfocused, foggy, you might be dehydrated. Whether it's hot yoga over 100 degree weather or too much sun, Gatorlight with a specialized blend of five electrolytes was scientifically designed to help move fluids into the body faster for rapid rehydration. Shop now at Retailer's Nationwide. Gatorlight hydrates faster than water. Is it in you? Symptoms noted are signs of mild to moderate dehydration, consult to healthcare professional if symptoms persist. This is me, a multi-millionaire businessman with all my money and skills stripped away. And the only thing I'm left with are the clothes on my back and my hustle mentality. The mission should I choose to accept it is to make $10,000 before a seven day timer runs out. If I'm able to achieve this, then I'll get all my money back if I fail, I'll lose it forever. So here are the five steps I'd take. Step one, flipping trash. If you've ever been to a dump or a scrap yard, you will have noticed the masses and masses of unwanted goods

left to rot or be destroyed. Although these items have perceived to have little to no value, flipping these items is, in my opinion, the fastest way to generate quick cash from nothing. I remember a couple of years ago, I was ripping up old paving slabs. There had been in my garden for over 10 years and I had hundreds of the things. It was gonna be an absolute nightmare taking them all to the dump or paying someone else to take them away. So I decided to put them on Facebook marketplace to see if I could sell them. To my surprise, I sold every single one of them within a couple of days and made about $400. Most people wouldn't have bothered putting them on Facebook and instead just throwing them away. That's why there are so many hidden gems at the junkyard. First, I'm taking a trip to the local library to use one of their free computers. I'm gonna spend a couple of hours making a list of what's selling well on Facebook and eBay, such as vintage clothing, furniture, electronics, collectibles or of course rare items. I'm mostly looking for smaller things

because I won't have a way to transport larger items. One thing I've put on my list is old Game Boy cartridges, as he's currently selling for thousands. If I can strike gold by finding a couple of these in good condition, I'll achieve my goal of $10,000 extremely quickly. Now I've made a list of all the things that are currently selling well. I'm gonna head off down to the junkyard with a couple of free plastic bags that I've picked up from the supermarket. After a day of digging around, I'm pretty confident. I'll be able to fill the bags with some of the items on my list. Now comes the tricky part. I need to sell them on Facebook marketplace. So I'll head back to use the library computer and make sure to write engaging and informative descriptions that highlight the items' uniqueness and potential uses. However, a big part of selling items online is the photographs. So I'll have to borrow someone's phone to take these. It's surprising how many people overlook taking good photos. It's the main thing your customers are gonna see. So it's important to take as many high quality ones as possible. Now the items are listed on Facebook.

I'm not just gonna sit back and wait for these cells to start rolling in. The internet is a great tool, but I'm under a time limit. So I'm not wasting a single second of it. For the rest of the day, I'm gonna go to places with a lot of public footfall, ideally, a tourist heavy location and sell as many items as possible. I'm very confident that after paying for food and somewhere to stay, I'll have more than $170. But let's call it that to be conservative. Throughout this challenge, I'll be staying in hostels which can be as cheap as $10 a night. Step two, buying a tool. Sure, I could continue to look for hidden gems in the junk yard, but I'd probably make a very similar amount each day, which would mean I'd fall very short of my 10k target. By investing in some kind of tool, you can make your hours worth dramatically more, as you're able to get so much more done in the same amount of time. There are hundreds of different things I could choose to invest my money into, such as the camera, metal detector,

or window washing equipment. But in my opinion, there is one thing that opens up more side hustle opportunities than anything else. An iPhone. I'm buying this used iPhone 10 for $140, and this SIM card for just $10, which comes with unlimited data for social media, which will come in very handy later on. The first thing I'm doing is going to the link in the description to sign up to Moo Moo, as they're a great investing platform and currently given away 16 free stocks worth between $2,000 and $2,000. It's almost like a lucky dip, and if I get a good stock here, it's well worth my time. I'm gonna set aside the rest of my money for food and accommodation for this evening, which will mean I'll have to start from zero again tomorrow, but don't worry, I have a grand plan. Step three, offering a service. A service-based side hustle is the best way to start with absolutely no money, as all it requires is time. There are so many different services I could offer online, such as graphic design, copywriting, customer support,

virtual assistant, contact writing, and social media management, but I've got something else in mind. You see, I have a podcast called Striket Big, and I know that every month we spend a considerable amount of money repurposing our longer videos into short videos on TikTok. However, so many creators aren't doing this because to be honest, they don't have the time. This type of editing is a lot quicker and easier than a full-blown YouTube video. All you have to do is find a good clip from a long-form video that you think could go viral, and then use an AI-powered app to add captions, music, and B-roll, even though it's pretty simple to do, it can be extremely valuable to creators, because if one of these clips blows up and gets millions of views, they can then redirect those people to their longer content. I'm spending this whole day making the best possible clips for free. I'll send these to the creators, and let them know that they're welcome to post them on their accounts, and if they perform well, I'll do more for $25 per edit,

but I won't rely on them seeing the messages. I'll also post the videos on my own TikTok and YouTube accounts with a pinned comment letting people know that they can hire me. The next day, I'm sure some of the clips would have taken off, and I'll have a couple of $25 TikToks to edit. Depending on demand, I might even increase my prices to around $50 per edit. This is roughly half a- Low energy, unfocused, foggy. You might be dehydrated. Gatorade zero powders have been scientifically designed to help improve hydration balance in the body, with a clinically proven electrolyte blend, and no artificial colors or flavors. Great tasting hydration, no matter where you're going, shop now online or at retailers nationwide. Gatorade hydrates better than water. Is it in you? Symptoms noted are signs of mild to moderate dehydration, consult a healthcare professional if symptoms persist. What the going rate is for a high quality short, so I'd be undercut in the market. So after a full day of editing, I'll be left with at least $250

after paying for my food and accommodation. But to be honest, the money isn't actually the most important part of this step. My main aim was to test how popular the service was, get feedback and build up my case studies. Now let's move on to step four, upgrading and productizing. Okay, now I've proven I can make money with this service, it's time to upgrade my equipment. I reckon I'll get at least $125 for my iPhone X, which would leave me with $375 to invest in a higher spec iPhone. You see, the iPhone X is great, but these new AI apps are designed to work best on the latest models, and the more up-to-date phone I get, the smoother my editing experience will be. This will ultimately speed up my workflow, so I can produce more clips. No matter what tool you choose to buy, there is always something you can invest your profits into to increase productivity. It's just a game of consistently recycling your money, so you never have to start from scratch again.

I'll make sure to edit a couple of clips on this day to make $50 or so for food and accommodation, but I'll mainly be focused on my bigger business plan. Doing one-off video edits is much more profitable than going to the dump every day and hoping to strike gold, but it's still not good enough to get me to that magic $10,000 figure. To reach this number, I really need to start treating this like a business and not just a side hustle. I'm considering all the interactions I've had with the people over the last couple of days, and the things they've let slip about, their business needs. One of the most common things I've heard them say is that they just don't want to think about repurposing their content. They want it taken off their hands and a constant stream of shorts delivered to them every day. I'm gonna offer 20 short edits per month, at a price of $1,500, as well as a premium one-off package for $5,000, which involves me designing their TikTok strategy from the ground up. I'm not being crazy. I know I'm very unlikely to sell this, but you should always have a package like this

available that seems a bit nuts, because if you find yourself talking to a baller, then you need to have something far more expensive to offer them. If you want me to do this for real type, I want more in the comments to let me know. So I've got two days left, and only $25 in an iPhone to my name, but trust me, it's all gonna come together. Step five, pre-selling. Now we're on the home straight. All the work we put in during the last five days is really gonna start paying off. Now let me ask you this. What do you think is the most valuable thing I have at this moment? Is it the money or the iPhone? The truth is, it's actually none of these things. It's my case studies, or in other words, my portfolio of work and client success stories. This is the true asset I've been building all this time, and it's what I'm gonna start cashing in on. Most people would continue editing as much as possible, but that's just a race to the bottom. For the next two days, my only focus will be to close long-term clients. That means making absolutely nothing

and living off my last $25 until I make a sale. Look, it will be very challenging, but I'm pretty sure either close seven clients on a $1,500 package with payment upfront, resulting in me making $10,500, and not just that, I'll make that each and every month as long as I retain those clients. This price is very aligned with what people are charging at the moment for this kind of service. I'd even add some kind of money back quality guarantee to ensure my clients weren't taking on a lot of risk, therefore, making it easier to hire me. I'll be honest, this wouldn't be a nice way to make $10,000 per month, as you'd be editing all the time, and therefore, it might not be super sustainable, but if I wanted to make it fast, then I'd have to make that sacrifice. You can do this with any service. Getting clients on a retainer and payment upfront is key. Once you do this, and you know exactly how much cash is coming in every month, you can start to hire people to do the work for you, while you close even more deals.

If you've made it to this part of the video, then I'm interested to know how you would make $10,000 in seven days. Let me know in the comments. I mean, most of you already have access to a phone, so your two days ahead of me already.
