Every 3 months I take stock of what happened in my business over the last quarter and what I got done.
These reports track the growth of Side Hustle Nation and my latest projects and experiments.
I’ve chosen “progress” reports over income reports because I believe we can make progress every day toward our goals, and that’s something worth measuring and celebrating.
In fact, you could say I’m obsessed with progress. I even created a physical Progress Journal to help keep me on track.
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.
This month I conducted the first (annual?) Side Hustle Nation member survey, and was grateful to see more than 100 responses!
To incentivize responses, I gave away a free side hustle strategy session and made sure the survey was mobile-ready so it could be done on a phone.
One of the requests projects was a “public coaching” effort, which means I need an audience volunteer. If that sounds like something that would be useful to you, read on.
This is my first attempt at an annual review.
Why go through this exercise?
It’s time to evaluate what happened this year, to see you achieved your goals, and to ask if you’re happier or otherwise better off than you were a year ago.
So am I?
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.
