Show notes

In this solo episode, I’m sharing the first three moves I’d make if I were starting a side hustle today and it’s not what you think. Over the years, I’ve seen so many new side hustlers get caught up in the wrong things (logos, websites, Instagram aesthetic), and miss the real work that actually builds momentum and income. So I’m breaking down what I’d focus on right now if I had to start all over again. These are the same foundational steps that helped me build Side Hustle Pro from an idea into a full-fledged business, and they’re the same ones I teach my clients today. In this episode, I share: The number one mistake new side hustlers make (and how to avoid it)How to get laser-focused on the problem you solve and who you serveWhy validation calls will change the way you approach your businessThe difference between a website and a funnel (and why the latter matters more)How I started selling a $50 course before I ever built a website Highlights Include00:00 Intro 02:10 Getting clear on the problem you solve 06:00 Finding your target audience 08:36 Validating your idea fast 11:09 What to ask during validation calls 14:41 Pricing with confidence 15:00 Building a simple funnel, not a website 19:03 How one simple email list changed everything 21:02 Recap: The 3 moves to start your side hustle today Links Mentioned in This EpisodeLeadpagesFireflies.ai – My favorite meeting note-takerGemini for Google Meet AnnouncementsJoin our Facebook Community If you’re looking for a community of supportive side hustlers who are all working to take our businesses to the next level, join us here: http://sidehustlepro.co/facebook Guest Social Media InfoSide Hustle Pro – @sidehustlepro #SideHustlePro Hosted on Acast.
