How to Start a Business in 7 Days: 13 Real Ideas from Side Hustle Nation

A couple weeks ago I had the opportunity to join John Lee Dumas on Entrepreneur on Fire, a top business podcast.

At the end of every show, he asks guests his famous “$500 question.” Naturally, there are some common threads in the answers, including the elements I touched on of networking, selling some service, or re-creating what you had on the “old” earth.

But since Side Hustle Nation is a creative bunch, I posed the question to in my email newsletter: What would you do?

Udemy Launch Strategy and Results – $3525 in 60 Days

In November I released my Udemy course, Kindle Launch Plan: $1400 in 30 Days & an Amazon Bestseller.

It’s about time I break down what I did to create the course, launch it, and ultimately earn $3525 in the first 60 days.

Have you published a course on Udemy? How did it go?

Would you use their platform again?

Quarterly Progress Report – Q1 2015

This is my first attempt at what may turn into a regular series: a quarterly progress report.

Why quarterly? Because months are too short.

Why “progress”? Because that’s what it’s all about.

To me, progress means forward motion, or actively taking the steps to improve each day. It’s one thing we can control.

92: Building a Location Independent Business of Freedom and Travel — Even With a Family

Here’s a guy who built an online business, and had the courage to up and move to Cozumel, Mexico — with his wife and 3 young daughters.

It’s not your typical single-23-year-old-dude digital nomad type of story, though Sean’s business itself is simple enough to be replicated.

This is a fun chat about hustling for business and building a lifestyle on your own terms. I think you’re going to like it, even if you have no desire to move abroad.

63: The 8 Income Streams I’m Working on Right Now

It’s a special Friday edition of The Side Hustle Show, and I’m flying solo on this one discussing the 8 income streams I’m working on right now.

Add a little diversity to your revenue sources to protect yourself if any one of them gets cut off suddenly (been there!). You’ll hear what’s working well for me, as well as some challenges, opportunities, and plans going forward.

60: Punching Fear in the Face and Escaping Average, with Jon Acuff

Through his best-selling books, Jon Acuff may be one of the most prominent advocates for the side hustle “brand” of entrepreneurship.

Jon’s a sought-after author, speaker, and consultant, with a share of side hustle stories to tell. While some flopped, one was almost an overnight success: his Stuff Christians Like blog. We talk about all that and more during our call.

The Cold Shower Challenge

For the last 2 months, I’ve only taken cold showers.

Why?

Because Nick Reese challenged me to do it when we recorded last week’s podcast session back in March, and now I’m afraid if I break the streak I won’t want to start again.

Bryn and my friends think I’m crazy. They’re probably right.

But call it a coincidence — things have been going pretty well since I turned on that cold water!

50: What I’ve Learned and Applied from 49 Awesome Entrepreneurs

The best thing about starting a podcast is the excuse to talk to awesome and inspiring people on a weekly basis.

I’ve learned so much from The Side Hustle Show guests over the past year, I thought it would be an appropriate time to recap some of their shared wisdom, how I’ve applied it to my own projects, and how you can apply it to yours.

This is episode 50 — the big 5-0, and it’s also my first-ever attempt at a solo show.

Blogging vs. Podcasting: A 1-Year Case Study

Heyo! Side Hustle Nation is a year old, and you know what that means?

Time to share the results of my first “serious” attempt at building something more than just a personal blog.

And, for the sake of comparison, I’ll share the results alongside those of The Side Hustle Show podcast to see which has been the more effective way of reaching new people and spreading the side hustle goodness.

Usually Hustling, Occasionally Social
