This should probably be episode 1, not 267, but if I’m being totally honest, I probably wasn’t in a place personally or professionally to record it as episode 1.
I’ve avoided doing a “mindset” episode for almost 5 because I didn’t think it was necessary.
But older and (hopefully) wiser, I’ve come to see the mindset conversation as an important one, and one I’ve been overlooking for a long time.
Brian Winch calls it “America’s Simplest Business.”
What started as a side hustle way back in 1981 has now grown into a $650k a year operation.
So what does Brian do?
His company picks up litter from parking lots. Sadly, it’s still an essential service (boo litterbugs!), but has very low startup costs and Brian says you can earn $30-$50 an hour doing this on the side.
Progress report time!
Why go through this exercise?
It’s time to evaluate what happened over the last 3 months (and in this case to look at the year as a whole), to see if you achieved your goals, and to ask if you’re happier or otherwise better off than you were when you started.
So am I?
Kelly Snyder from AdoreYourWardrobe.com teaches women how to confidently dress their unique bodies through the principles found in math and science.
That sounds pretty cool, and it is.
It’s no secret that Amazon FBA is one of the hottest side hustles going right now, and it shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
FBA is Fulfillment by Amazon, the program that allows you to list your own products for sale on Amazon, tap into their giant audience of customers, and have them handle all the shipping when orders come in.
The trick is figuring out which which products to sell, and that’s where Greg Mercer comes in.
Anthony Tran runs MarketingAccessPass.com, a web design and development agency. As well as AccessWP.com, a WordPress support company offering unlimited support for a low monthly subscription.
I had a Fiverr gig for a couple of years where I was reviewing hundreds of websites and I noticed some common problems that kept cropping up with WordPress sites.
I felt gross. I was tired from chasing a toddler around, out of shape, and fighting a series of frustrating injuries.
And I realized it was hurting my output at work. Building a business takes real energy and real brainpower, and I wasn’t performing optimally because my body wasn’t performing optimally.
I knew I had to do something about it.
This week’s episodes is a, “Where are they now?” show as I revisit with Ryan Grant of OnlineSellingExperiment.com.
Ryan first appeared on the show all the way back on episode 61 in 2014. Back then he had just quit his $50k a year job to sell online full-time using retail arbitrage.
This week’s show is a roundtable episode on the topic of YouTube, and specifically how 3 different channel hosts have gone about growing their presence and profits on the YouTube platform.
They explain how and why they started using the free YouTube platform to grow significant followings and income streams, and share some actionable advice on how you can do the same.
It’s like owning a parking lot, Jefferson Lilly explained. And you can earn 20% cash on cash returns too.
That got my attention, though those returns are coming from a surprising real estate niche: mobile home parks.
