Episode 169
A COUPLE LISTENER UPDATES & QUESTIONS: This week we had a couple of listener updates from Gavin and Lindsey, and a listener question from Malisa:- Gavin called in a few weeks ago looking for some guidance. He wanted to put his artwork and photography on t-shirts and mugs, but was having a hard time getting an online presence due to how concerned he was about perfecting every aspect of his website. He's since put up a site at Gavin Duncan Designs!
- Lindsey took inspiration from a previous episode that featured a platform called Skillshare, and she and her mother have started a side hustle using it to show others how to host fabulous tea parties. See what they're all about on their Facebook page.
- Malisa and her husband have found a fantastic idea for a side hustle, but it's centered around creating an app—which neither of them know how to do. She's been listening to the show for a while and has noticed that one of the top points I make is to start with something you know. She wants to know what I recommend to someone who has a validated idea that involves something they don't have prior experience with. To hear more about these listener updates and my response to Malisa's question, tune into the Weekly Recap. If you have something you'd like to say, I'd love to hear from you! Please send all messages to chris@sidehustleschool.com or leave me a voice message.
