Back in May of 2021, we had a brand new website that got 0 traffic from Google. We had no leads coming to our website. No course sales. No affiliate sales. We just rebranded and had no name online. 

We also had over $100K in debt because we spent several years developing our first course –  the Netflix of Personal Connection – that flopped.

Not only did we not have a ton of resources to grow our business, but we were also burned out from working with digital marketing agencies. 

Now, we went from that to making over $3,000/m with 3,000 subscribers on YT and less than 3,000 people on our email list. How did we do it? 

We’ll share our mistakes that cost us over $100K, and what we’ve learned on our way to making sustainable passive income.

00:00 The mistakes we’ve made while launching a course

00:58 The Netflix of Personal Connection

03:58 Mistake #1: How we almost built our own technology

19:18 Mastering online course distribution

26:04 Our road to sustainable revenue

Great minds of all times, starting with Confucius, have said, “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” But is it actually possible for all of us to do what we love AND make money doing it? 

In this podcast episode, we discuss our journey of founding multiple ventures while focusing on the idea of turning our passion into a business. On our way to doing what we love, we had to overcome many challenges familiar to other entrepreneurs, from lack of demand in the market to trying to sell too many things at once. 

As a result, we’ve learned what the balance between doing what you love and fulfilling a real demand in the market looks like. We’ll share our lessons on identifying customer needs, understanding their pain points, and tailoring one's skills and expertise to meet those demands.

Many aspiring entrepreneurs look up to iconic business leaders like Gary Vaynerchuk and Elon Musk, who advocate the idea that building a successful business requires significant personal sacrifice. As a result, they find themselves caught in a grueling 100-hour workweek grind.

Unfortunately, this approach often leads to debilitating trade-offs that are rarely discussed openly. Entrepreneurs then face deteriorating physical and mental health, overwhelming loneliness, low self-esteem, and a profound dissatisfaction with their overall quality of life.

In this podcast episode, we share our personal journey from the relentless 100-hour workweek grind to a place where we genuinely love our business. Our transformation was guided by a counterintuitive principle called the "No-Friday Challenge," inspired by Graham Cochrane. 

By simplifying our business operations, we not only achieve a better work-life balance but also make a significant impact in our industry. Our aim is to inspire and empower you to consider alternative approaches that prioritize both your well-being and business success. 

00:00 The realities of the “hustle culture” we don’t talk about

03:35 The painful trade-offs of working 100-hour weeks

07:32 The time our business almost collapsed 

10:30 Hiring more people doesn’t mean you grind less

13:00 Grinding isn’t always a solution 

16:00 Rebuilding the business the new way

21:00 Automating our business to work less

25:00 Business without hustle is more impactful

Our childhood experiences shape our lives, personalities, and views of reality. As a Greek, growing up in Saudi Arabia, surrounded by different cultures and values, Hector’s journey of finding his place in the world wasn’t easy.
