Are you ready to ditch the "someday" mentality and start your journey TODAY? This episode is packed with insights and inspiration to help you launch that side hustle or business you’ve always envisioned. Prepare to be challenged and motivated as Nick and Wil break down the common pitfalls that trap aspiring entrepreneurs. You'll discover why believing in yourself is the number one key, and how a positive mindset is your greatest asset.

Key Takeaways:

  • Why "the timing is never right" and the powerful strategies to overcome this mental hurdle. It's never going to be the perfect time to start.
  • The critical role of mindset in entrepreneurial success. If you don't believe you can do it, you cannot do it.
  • How to anticipate and prepare for inevitable challenges. Challenges are a given, so prepare for them.
  • Why a mentor can be your secret weapon, guiding you through the inevitable obstacles.
  • How well-meaning loved ones can unintentionally enable your excuses and how to stay focused. Loved ones can be distracting and enable your excuses.
  • The power of the present and why the best time to plant your tree was 20 years ago, and the second best time is now. Stop looking backwards
  • The rewards of risk-taking and how entrepreneurship can unlock a life of freedom. The limitations are only yours.
  • The strategic advantages of business ownership, including tax benefits that can boost your earnings. You can have more earning power with a side business.
  • Why every business begins with small wins, and why those initial milestones are crucial to the journey. Every business on earth started with a thousand, two thousand, or three thousand in earnings.
  • The power of a clear vision and the importance of setting goals that provide opportunities for celebration. Have a vision and a vision statement for yourself.
  • How to take decisive action and stop waiting for the elusive “perfect” moment. Start now and figure out the steps as you go.
  • How to expand your earning potential by leveraging tax benefits through business ownership.
  • How to build your mindset and community by surrounding yourself with others pursuing similar goals. You are a reflection of the five people you spend the most time with.
  • Why your side gig deserves to be treated as a serious business, and not a hobby. If you treat it as a hobby, it will cost you money. If you treat it as a business, it will make you money.
