483: The First 3 Moves I’d Make If I Were Starting a Side Hustle Today


Listen Later

In this solo episode, I’m sharing the first three moves I’d make if I were starting a side hustle today and it’s not what you think.


Over the years, I’ve seen so many new side hustlers get caught up in the wrong things (logos, websites, Instagram aesthetic), and miss the real work that actually builds momentum and income. So I’m breaking down what I’d focus on right now if I had to start all over again.


These are the same foundational steps that helped me build Side Hustle Pro from an idea into a full-fledged business, and they’re the same ones I teach my clients today.


In this episode, I share:

  • The number one mistake new side hustlers make (and how to avoid it)
  • How to get laser-focused on the problem you solve and who you serve
  • Why validation calls will change the way you approach your business
  • The difference between a website and a funnel (and why the latter matters more)
  • How I started selling a $50 course before I ever built a website


Highlights Include

02:10 Getting clear on the problem you solve

06:00 Finding your target audience

08:36 Validating your idea fast

11:09 What to ask during validation calls
