These posts explain the philosophy behind the side hustle brand of entrepreneurship, and provide a great starting point for anyone looking to begin earning job-free income.
At the end of nearly every episode of The Side Hustle Show, I ask my guests for their #1 tip for Side Hustle Nation. There’s always a great variety of responses, and I wanted to take some time today to go through some of my favorites from the past 50-ish interviews.
My #1 Tip? Find your WHY.
Why side hustle? What are you trying to build? What will that afford you?
Last month I received an email from a reader I didn’t really know how to respond to. It was about growing up in poverty and what he could do to lift himself out of a bad situation.
I think an important thing to remember is that every expert was once a beginner, every champion was once a rookie, and that with a few exceptions, most successful/wealthy individuals weren’t born that way.
They all took incremental actions over time to build their knowledge, skills, network — and eventually their net worth.
But I was curious what advice the Side Hustle Nation community had for this reader, and wow, did they come through big time.
Parenthood has got me thinking, every BIG victory is built on the back of a ton of mini victories.
You don’t wake up one morning and win the Super Bowl. You win it one quarter at a time, one possession at a time, one down at a time, one yard at a time.
We all want the BIG win; quit our jobs, passive income, early retirement, location-independence, whatever it is. But what’s the next mini win to help get us there?
What separates the 5% of fulfilled, successful people from the 95% rest of the population? Author Jeff Olson argues it’s The Slight Edge.
Successful people have harnessed the power of relentless incrementalism, the daily practice of making progress toward their goals — even if imperceptible at the beginning.
Today is a brief solo show to discuss how you can find your slight edge in 2016 and beyond.
This week I’m excited to welcome Rob Stephenson to The Side Hustle Show.
Rob is the “Flea Market Flipper” and he’s got an interesting take on the age-old Buy Low, Sell High business model.
In fact, it earned him $30,000 last year working just 10-15 hours a week. This is on top of his day job as a real estate inspector.
A few years ago, I debated getting an MBA.
A lot of my friends were doing it, we have some world-class schools nearby (assuming they’d even let me in), and it seemed to be a solid investment in education.
For the most part, I’ve always been comfortable in school. I was a good student, and the structure of education made inherent sense: you show up, learn what you’re supposed to, and then pass a test.
As a kid, I wasn’t much into Star Trek, but I was fascinated by the idea of teleportation.
Beam me up!
It’s so elegantly efficient; I mean who wouldn’t want to skip all the transit time and instead just instantly arrive where you need to go?
I was all about the destination, and would have been happy skipping the journey entirely.
Are we there yet?
It’s taken me a long time to realize this, but there is no “there.”
It’s a special Friday-before-Halloween edition of The Side Hustle Show!
Today we’re diving into some of the scary moments in my business and some frightening tales from Side Hustle Show listeners.
Even though we’re told to “punch fear in the face,” I think it’s something that will be a constant in our lives. There’s always something to be afraid of.
Ready to get nerdy with me?
I’m all scienced-up after reading The Martian, so consider that the inspiration for this post.
As you go about your week, think about the physics of your side hustle: Inertia and momentum, Force and impact, Action and reaction.
Last week I shared one of my favorite productivity hacks: tracking your time. This simple act helps keep me on task during the day, plus gives me some cool insight on where my hours actually go. It all goes back to Peter Drucker: “What gets measured gets managed”, right? My Results – How I Spent … Read more
