In this episode, I'm excited to welcome another guest onto the podcast, Tobi Oluwole.

Tobi currently works for the giant that is Shopify. However, he has developed an amazing training program that helps others come up with a side hustle idea and get it out to the world in less than 8 weeks. That's amazing.

We discuss how Tobi helps people launch their very own side hustle and he gives us an amazing insight into how he helps people by getting their mindset right before starting anything.

Thanks to Tobi Oluwole for being a guest on the podcast.

It was an honour and a privilege.

People always ask "So, what market research have you done". This question makes my piss boil.

When you're trying to get a side hustle off the ground, you haven't the time, money, motivation, or resources to do full-blown market research.

You may or may not have a list of customers, probably not if you are just starting out. Going out there and trying to get people to give honest feedback or complete a survey is a complete waste of time.

In this episode, I discuss my experience of trying to do market research for Elementary Analytics when I first launched the product.

Check out my earlier episode where I discuss how I came up with Elementary Analytics.

In this episode, I'm excited to welcome another guest onto the podcast, Simon Dalley. I've had the pleasure of working with Simon at two different companies.

Alongside his 9-5, Simon has been working on his side hustle since 2007. Which, I'm happy to say, is now a business that Simon runs full-time with two other people. I think Simon was ahead of the curve. He was made redundant in 2007/2008 and knew then that he had to start something on the side to protect himself in case that happened again.

We discuss the positives and negatives Simon has experienced in launching and working on his side business. The difficult task of growing and managing a client base, while still having a life. Most importantly stop making excuses, by quitting his job and being able to focus on the business full time

Thanks to Simon Dalley for being a guest on the podcast.

It was an honour and a privilege.

It's tough when you are grinding and hustling in your spare time.

You think you haven't made progress, when in fact if you look inwards at your personal development, it's surprising to see how much you have learned.

I still think I don't know anything about marketing and copywriting, but when I've gone through and made a list of online courses that I've signed up for and used. I shocked myself to see how much knowledge I have gained, as well as being able to recall a lot of the subject matter.

Now I'm not saying I'm an expert. Far from it, I still need to get better and implementing things I've learned. That's the real skill.

In this episode I run through the courses I have taken, detailing what skill I was trying to develop.

I hope you find some use from this episode and it helps you figure out what you may need to learn to make progress.

In this episode, I'm honoured to welcome back Mohammed Bilal back onto the podcast. The first person to be on two episodes of Find Your Side Hustle and he delivers, yet again.

Mohammed "soft launched" his podcasting platform in January 2021 after months of hard work, research, and managing a team of freelancers.

We discuss what Mohammed has learned after launching his side project and discuss the things he has uncovered in such a short period of time. As always we dig into these learnings to see what things Mohammed would do differently if he could do it again.

Thanks to Mohammed Bilal for being a guest on the podcast. It was an honour and a privilege.

This episode is a random one if I'm honest with you.

It came after exchanging a few WhatsApp messages with a friend of mine Ed Roberts, who has been on the podcast. You can check out his episode here.

In an earlier episode of Find Your Side Hustle, I talk about the pros and cons of both registering a business, or waiting until you have enough income coming in to cover any expenses that a side project may have.

However, something I've been thinking about is biting the bullet and registering a business for myself. The conversation with my friend made me take a leap of faith and actually register said business.

Let me know what you think and what your experience of registering a business has been?

In this episode, I'm excited to introduce another guest to the podcast, Dave Lyons. Dave has had a very interesting journey and has battled with anxiety. He found that a hobby really helped him with his mental health. On the back of this, Dave has started a community interest company to help others with their mental health. It's an amazing story and something we can all aspire to.

We discuss the positives and negatives Dave has experienced in launching a business. What it is actually like starting a business, the day-to-day learnings and continued hard work that is needed to make it a success. Dave also talks a bit more in-depth about how much effort it takes to build a community on a social media platform like Facebook.

Have you ever been frustrated, not sure how to move forward with a side hustle? I know I have, it's almost a daily occurrence.

This has been happening to me a lot lately when thinking about how to move forwards with Elementary Analytics. However, things have improved, it feels like I have gained a bit of clarity and direction by documenting my 'Mission Statement', 'Vision Statement' and my 'Brand/Core Values' for Elementary Analytics.

In this episode, I discuss how I stumbled upon the need for a mission statement and the steps I quickly took to get things documented, so I can use them as a constant reference and guide.

In this episode, I'm excited to introduce another guest to the podcast, my cousin, Ashley Hardman. Ashley has an interesting background and has set up his own business while working a "traditional job". Coming from a creative background, he has found starting a business both challenging and rewarding.

We discuss the positives and negatives Ashley has experienced in launching a business. What it is actually like starting a business, the day-to-day effort and continued hard work that is needed to make it a success. Ashley discusses how key it is to be adaptable and look to people you admire, to learn from their experiences. As well as keeping a journal of all your ideas, as you don't know when they will come in handy.

Thanks to Ashley Hardman for being a guest on the podcast. It was an honour and a privilege.

Have you ever registered a business? Is that the first thing you do when you come up with a side hustle idea? Or do you motor along until it's worthwhile?

Over the years I have started many side projects without even considering registering as a business. I have also done the complete opposite. In one of the projects I was involved in, it was the first thing we did to "try" and look professional from the outset.

At the moment as I'm still early on in the journey with a few projects, registering a business is something that I have put off until "the right time". Over the last month or so, registering an official business is something that I have been considering.

In this episode, I talk about the pros and cons of both registering a business, or waiting until you have enough income coming in to cover any expenses that a side project may have.
