Notes from Chris
Episode 652
THEMES & TAKEAWAYS: In Episode 649, Micah told us something interesting that I saved for the recap. He said: "For me, I knew I wouldn't treat my side hustle as legit if I didn't make it legit. So we incorporated and opened a bank account and trademarked our name and logo and got business cards. I spent 70% of our startup dollars just on apparatus that made it seem like a business. I was sitting there looking at $5,000 worth of legitimacy, and knew that I needed to justify that by creating something great." Good news: you don't need to spend $5,000 to replicate this mindset. In today's episode, you can hear four tips on how to apply a similar principle without breaking the bank. To hear more, check out today's Weekly Recap. P.S. Thank you for the kind notes about last week's marathon—I finished!
