"There is money everywhere. You just need to know where to find it."

Wanna make a few extra hundred bucks a month? Maybe relieve some of the financial pressure you are putting on your main business or creative pursuit? Don’t overlook the power of a side hustle y’all.

Today we have Travis Brown, a 3x award winning marketer, 10k creator, podcaster, multiple business owner who inspires new creators to dominate their social. Side note, he calls himself the “Side Hustle King”

In this conversation, we dig into why the unsexy work might be the most profitable, how to let go of the mentality that your income needs to come from one source, and which side hustles will stand the test of time.

FROM TODAY'S EPISODE:

Developing multiple income streams and embracing unsexy work
How to identify side hustle opportunities
Timeless side hustles that will stand the test of time
And why “Boring businesses win all the time.”

TAKEAWAYS:

Business comes down to a few things: vanity, problem solving, and “nice-to-have” solutions
Don’t be attached to outcome and be willing to pivot as the market tells you what it wants
When trying to identity a potential side hustle ask yourself “What do people come to me about the most often?”
Understand the “sales cycle”. People say no seven times before they say yes.
You can squeeze something to death. You can want something so badly that you actually repel it from yourself.”

The people who comment on your appearance, or the way you speak, or your voice, or any that stuff, all they're doing is reflecting what they think about themselves on to you.
