WEEKLY RECAP: Barking Up the Right Tree

Notes from Chris

Episode 127

LISTENER Q&A:

Our listener questions for this week come to us from Sheila in Nicaragua and Jonathan from Montana:

• Sheila has been researching how to get her side hustle up and running, but while she experiences a lot of momentum in the beginning, she has a tendency to get discouraged when she sees her competition. She worries that her idea isn't good enough, and she wants to know how she can overcome those doubts.
• Jonathan has narrowed his ideas down and is looking to start a drop shipping business for fly fishing. He's looking for tips on how to contact manufacturers for the first time.
