WEEKLY CHECK-IN: Each week, there will be a new question and an opportunity for you to share your side hustle journey on the show! Today, I want to know—what prevents you from moving forward and making progress? And do you have a tip for moving forward? To send in your response either leave me a voice message, call our Side Hustle Hotline at 844-9-HUSTLE (844-948-7853), or make a voice memo on your phone and email it to me at podcast@sidehustleschool.comLISTENER Q&A: Our listener questions for this week come to us from Shannon in California and Ravi in the United Kingdom:
- Shannon just purchased her first domain, but she's still pretty uncertain about the whole process. She can see from the Google domain that she purchased that she has the ability to link up through them to web hosting using Squarespace or Blogger, but while she is looking to start with a blog, she'd like to leave the possibility of adding on a storefront or something similar further down the road. She doesn't want to make the wrong decision, so she wants to know which blogging site I would recommend that she start with.
**If you're not sure where to start online like Shannon, visit this page to learn more about your options. - Ravi has been getting a lot of inspiration from the show and has started to brainstorm for his first side hustle. Naturally, he tries to run these ideas by his friends, but they aren't really entrepreneurially motivated and have given him a lot of negative feedback and energy. He wants to know how to stay motivated despite the negativity he's receiving about his ideas.
