WEEKLY RECAP: Deadlines Are Your Friends

Notes from Chris

Episode 253

LISTENER SHOUTOUTS & QUESTIONS:

This week we had a couple of check ins from La Dawn and Karen, and a couple of listener questions from Dan and Chris:

• La Dawn: I just binged listened to every episode. It took about a week but I'm excited to pursue my side hustle in Austin, TX in the coming week. I will continue to listen and thank you for the amazing show.

• Karen: Through a combination of hearing about Sven Delivers (Ep. 145 a few episodes back) and my life experience which included a year in Boston where I realized that used IKEA furniture resells for about 50% of its original value... I decided to get into action with my idea of reselling (and sometimes delivering) mostly IKEA furniture that I find for free or that is undervalued via Craigslist and selling groups on FB. The great thing about where I live (Orange County, CA) is that there are a lot of colleges nearby and numerous IKEA stores within driving distance, so that means a lot of used IKEA furniture floating around!

• Chris in Amsterdam has a tendency to look for perfectionism at all stages of his side hustle and is seeking some guidance regarding how to keep from overthinking different things

• Dan is in the pre-launch stage of his side hustle, and he has a lot of questions about the kind of content he should be including for his new audience

If you have something you'd like to ask me or an update you'd like to share, I'd love to hear from you! Leave me a voice message on the website or call in to the Side Hustle Hotline (Dial 844-9-HUSTLE // 844-948-7853), and your question may be featured on the show!
