Are you looking for a side hustle that will generate cash flow? Or, maybe you want to build a business on the side that can lead you to eventual freedom? Our guest may be able to help you with that.

Nick Loper from SideHustleNation.com joins us to talk about side hustling your way to freedom so you can escape the rat race! 

Nick is an entrepreneur that’s involved in a variety of projects but his main purpose in life is to help you earn more money, pay off debt, learn new skills, use your free time more productively, and escape the rat race. 

Nick is also the host of the top-rated podcast, The Side Hustle Show, which focuses on ideas, actions, and results you need to start and grow a successful business.

He also wrote, The Progress Journal: A Simple Daily Planner To Make Meaningful Progress on Your Most Important Work which we talk about today. Find out why he wrote it and what his most important work is.

Plus, Nick talks about some of his favorite side hustles and breaks them down into three models:

• Selling a service
• Selling a product
• Selling an audience 

Is Affiliate Marketing Dead? 

Scott brings up the subject and asks Nick if it’s dead because it’s "old and antiquated".

Nick’s response?  

“You guys are selling dirt. That's like the oldest business on the planet.” 

Touché Nick, touché.

The guys also discuss the one thing that could stop an aspiring entrepreneur dead in their tracks, and that is FEAR! Whether it’s fear to leave the comfort of a paycheck, or fear to scale, fear is what stops so many from fulfilling their entrepreneurial dreams as Scott points out in one case. 

Nick also answers these questions: 

• What is the worst advice seen or heard in the Side Hustle world?
• What were the steps that led into creating the Side Hustle Nation?

Then, poses a question back to Mark & Scott...

How do you justify spending time trying to build a business with limited hours that are supposed to be family time in the name of hopefully having more family time down the road?

Find out how they answered, and more, in this week’s episode of The Art of Passive Income!
