Do you know deep down, what you're doing isn't what you're meant to be doing?

That was Pete McPherson's situation.

As Pete would put it, he used to be a boring accountant, complete with a CPA license, years of corporate experience, a fantastic salary–and pretty much the rest of the “American Dream”.

But he decided to give all that up for entrepreneurship.

After 50+ failed businesses, Pete found success in 2017 with his site Do You Even Blog, and the rest is history.

In this episode, we cover:

* Mindset and motivation

* How to determine the "right" side hustle

* When to double down and when to give up

* Turning a side hustle into a full-time business

* Automating everything

and various other topics.
