S3 Ep9: Des and Mrs Hamilton: Part 2. Business and Marriage, Covid and Debt

The Goodbye Poor Hello Rich Show

Welcome back to Goodbye Poor, Hello Rich with me, Des Hamilton. In this episode, I’m continuing the conversation with my business partner and wife, Claire, where we get stuck in with the chat about how we’ve built our business while navigating the ups and downs of life.
Last week’s episode, where Claire was properly introduced for the first time, received amazing feedback, and we even charted in the top 20 again. It’s clear that our story is striking a chord with many of you out there who are in the same boat. The reality is, we’re all feeling the pinch, aren’t we? From rising costs to juggling responsibilities, life hasn’t been easy for a lot of us, but there is a way forward.
In this episode, Claire and I reflect on our journey over the last six years – from meeting in 2018 to transforming our careers from traditional roles into full-time entrepreneurs. We talk candidly about the pressures of debt, the impact COVID had on our lives, and the turning point when we realised something had to change. We’ve made the shift from pay workers to business owners, and we’re sharing what worked for us, what didn’t, and why building multiple income streams has been key to our success.
Some key moments from this episode:

• How Claire and I transitioned from full-time jobs to running our own business
• The impact of COVID on family and work life, and how it pushed us to seek more freedom
• Why diversifying income streams has been crucial for us
• Reflections on working together as a married couple and how we balance business with family life
• The mindset shifts we’ve had to make, and what drives us to keep going

I’m also gearing up for next week’s episode, where I’ll be sitting down with Luke Colwell to talk about an exciting new opportunity outside of Amazon that we believe can change lives. Trust me, you don’t want to miss it!
So, grab a brew, settle in, and let’s get into it.
