15 Side Hustles That You Can Start TODAY With Little To No Money with Nick Loper In today's episode, we will discuss 15 side hustles that you can start today with little to no money! I've never really loved the term "side hustle" I don't love the word hustle and don't buy into hustle culture. And the word side hustle to me has always implied something you kinda did on the side and didn't take too seriously. But my perspective on this term has changed somewhere recently. A few months ago I started listening to a podcast called The Side Hustle Show with Nick Loper. The combination of hearing stories from Nick's guests on different side hustles they have started and interviewing and working with others who have started side hustles of their own either as a way to start their business or as a way to help make some extra income on the side has caused me to be more open to this term and open to the fact that not everyone is wired like me. And for some people that means starting something on the side that can either support their family for a season or later on turn into that thriving scalable business with systems and processes which is what I REALLY love! BUT you gotta start somewhere and for many, that means starting something on the side... In today's episode, Brien Gearing interviews the Kind of Side Hustle himself, Nick Loper, and they go into depth on 15 side hustles that you can start today! This has been one of my favorite episodes so far and I got a ton of value out of it personally and I have no doubt you will as well! We also created an in-depth article on everything that was covered in this episode including all the links and resources discussed, so feel free to check it out here.

This lesson is a real-life coaching call I have with a young soon-to-be father named James Metcalf Jr. In episode 37, I spoke with James about starting his own business and he recently reached out to me with some struggles he's been having. We often hear people say "Just take action" but just taking action won't get you the results you want unless it's the right kind of action. In this episode, you'll hear me shoot it on what James needs to do if he wants to succeed with his business. It's one thing to hear me or anyone say "Take effective action" but hearing this coaching call with James might be just the thing to help you better understand what that means and identify where you might need to change something up in your own business. So let's get to it! I also want to thank James for being so vulnerable and letting us record and use this call so that others who are struggling with something similar can also get unstuck, grow their business, and change their lives for the better. 00:00 Introduction to Successful Business Ownership 00:22 Experiencing Bali: A Personal Journey 01:33 Sales and Marketing Insights 02:19 James Metcalf Jr.'s Story: Struggles of a Soon-to-be Father 02:45 The Reality of Starting a Mobile Mechanic Business 03:28 The Importance of Direct Communication and Honesty 04:13 The Struggles of James Metcalf Jr.: A Candid Conversation 09:19 Overcoming the Victim Mindset 11:46 The Power of Sales and Marketing 13:53 The Reality of Starting a Business 16:47 The Importance of Taking Action 20:59 The Power of Persistence in Business 25:08 Final Thoughts on Successful Business Ownership 26:35 Understanding the Fear of Rejection 26:55 The Power of a Positive Mindset 27:24 The Importance of Embracing Rejection 27:41 The Challenges of Starting a Business 28:32 The Power of Taking Action 29:14 The Importance of Setting Goals 31:53 The Power of Networking and Referrals 33:10 The Importance of Persistence in Business 34:28 The Power of Effective Communication 37:01 The Importance of Taking Fast, Effective Action 38:14 The Power of Resilience in Business 38:22 The Importance of Having a Clear Vision 39:00 The Power of Overcoming Fear 44:24 The Importance of Consistency in Business 44:49 Conclusion: The Journey to Success ________________________________________________________________________ Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode we disclose our Top Secret Calendaring system. Once you have clarity and a vision of what you want to do, you'll have to be organized and have a system for getting crap done! In today's lesson we talk about the calendaring system that we've developed and have been using for the past 15 years! In our years of working with people, we've come to find that most aren't super organized and don't have a great way to plan and get essential "to do" items done. Execution is where the rubber meets the road and if you're not organized and have clear priorities and know where to focus each day you won't reach accomplish your goals. The system/process we outline in today's episode is super simple, free and something everyone can do.

Lately, I've been working with too many people who don't have a clear vision and plan of where they want to go and what they want to accomplish in their life and business. If you don't know where you want to go, then any path will get you there. You'll end up meandering and then wonder why you're not really getting anywhere in life or business. The crazy thing is recently when I was talking with Brien Gearin about coming on board to help us grow Millionaire University, he asked me if I could send him a business plan, and I realized I didn't really have one...Well, I did sorta but not anything that I could easily send over to him. This allowed me to think through our plan to grow MU to a Billion Dollar Organization over the next 10 years and helped me think through more about how I come up with and write business plans, and how and when you should write a business plan of your own. I hope you enjoy this episode.

For those of you who have been following the podcast, know that we're getting ready to sell our house. It's been pretty busy around here, so we're trying to get as many people as we can over here to help. Tara's brother, Tyson, my brother-in-law, who I interviewed on the last podcast has been staying with us in our guest house, and he's been really helping us get things ready. And just a few days ago we said to him, Hey Tyson, we need more help. And he's like, okay, I know some people. So he's been bringing over his good friend Will who is also a recovering alcoholic/drug addict, and he's been helping us out for the last few days. So that's been awesome. Now I've only talked to Will for a brief second one time and yesterday he came up to me right before he was leaving and just said, "Hey, I just wanna thank you for the podcast. It's really been helping me out."  And so then I was talking to Tyson a little bit more about his situation after Will left, which is kind of similar to Tyson's, I said, Hey, tell him if he listens to all the podcasts, that I'll mentor him if he wants. So last night, as I was laying there in bed and knowing that I needed to record a podcast today, I had all these ideas of different things that I could talk about on the podcast today, but none of them were really pulling out my heart. And I was thinking "What is on my mind right now? Will is on my mind. The people who represent Will are on my mind" Those of you who are struggling in life, but you know, there's something more.

Today's interview is unlike any podcast I've ever done in my life the last couple weeks. We've had, my brother-in-law who is Tara's brother Tyson, staying with us in our guest house and helping us do some repairs and some different things on our house before we sell it. And Tyson's a recovering alcoholic drug addict has been in and out of jail several times for the last few years. For the past several years. He hasn't even been really a part of our life because we just didn't feel like it was safe with his different things he had going on in relationships. And we just had to totally distance ourself, even though we literally live in the same county, like we're the only family members who live right by each other, but we just couldn't be in contact with him. Now he's living with us and we see him every day all the time. It's pretty wild how it happened. But anyway, he basically has like nothing, like no money, like starting over from scratch after everything that he is been through. So we've given him a job. It's a labor job, but I've kind of been talking to him about goals and where he wants to go from here because we're not gonna be here for very long. And even getting paid the amount that he can get paid from a job like this just isn't going to be enough to take care of the needs that he has to be able to see his kids more often and pay child support. And get back on his feet in the way that he would need just to live a good, normal, healthy life and pay off some debts and stuff. So as I've been talking to him, it just made me think of a lot of people out there. You know, I know this is Millionaire University and the goal is to become financially free and make millions of dollars, but we all start somewhere. So I thought it might be kind of cool as I'm talking to Tyson and we're working together and working with him, and, you know, I can't take any of the credit when I believe when the student is ready, the teacher will appear and this guy is ready. He's humble, he's, he's a listener, but a lot of the things that I've been talking to him about I thought would be good for you guys to hear. And I think there's a lot of good takeaways that you can take from the things that we've been talking about. So anyway, I, I asked him, I said, Hey, do you want me to interview you? And he's like, okay, sure. And I thought we would share like two to five minutes of his background just kind of show, Hey, Tyson's kind of hit rock bottom and we're gonna help him on his way. But this interview just turned into so much more and I just let him talk and I listened. Of course I interjected from time to time, but I just listened. And at first I thought, oh, I like, this is Millionaire University. What does a story about someone who has hit rock bottom and struggled with drugs and alcohol and relationships and gone to prison? Like, what does that have to do with. Making money in Millionaire University. So I thought about editing it down to like 20 minutes, but I, I just couldn't, I don't know, maybe it is just me cuz he's family, but I just have to believe that there's someone out there who has to hear his story. So I'm just gonna put it all out there. For more information go to MillionaireUniversity.com To get access to our FREE Business Training course go to MillionaireUniversity.com/training.

I've worked with my husband for 17 years And we almost got divorced Here are 9 quick tips for working with your spouse 1. Don't be a dream killer  When my husband came to me with his first idea, we were pregnant & broke. His idea excited & terrified me. But I didn't kill it. I fed it & it changed me, and we've had some crazy success. I know I'm better today because of the risks we took long ago 2. Don't suffer in silence I never wanted to be a burden to my husband so I stressed in silence. Over time we were distant. Distance became disconnection. Don't be afraid to tell your partner what you love & what terrifies you about the life & business you are creating together. 3. Your sex life is a priority A sexless marriage & a thriving business aren't that fun. Trust me. You can make all the money in the world, but if there's no intimacy in your marriage, the business just becomes a thing to do. Be intentional & create space for intimacy every day. 4. Tell your partner 5 things you like about them before you critique them We all work hard. But does our spouse see it? Before you tell them what's bugging you about working with them.Tell them 5 things you appreciate . When we are seen we are more open to feedback. 5. Develop a backbone When we started our 1st business I was terrified. I had no idea how to run a business. So I leaned on my husband A LOT. If he made a mistake, I got MAD. I was afraid and I blamed him for it. So I developed skills & my own confidence & now we stand together. 6. Find your sweet spot You are GOOD at something and your partner is GOOD at something . Do you know how to make your differences work together? Opposites attract so learn to use and leverage those differences to create a well-rounded business . It will be magic if you do 7. Let your partner go If you can't be on your own, you'll struggle being together. If your partner makes you feel bad, then you'll have to control them to feel good. They don't MAKE you feel anything. You are responsible for your own emotions. It's always been you facing you 8. Let them see ALL of you I used to hide the "ugly" parts of myself thinking my husband would reject me. But I was blocking intimacy. I became robotic. But then I broke and he saw it all. And he accepted it all. I've never felt more loved. And we've never worked better together 9. Love the HECK out of your partner Your person is alive. Their heart is beating and they are standing in front of you today. That is a miracle in and of itself. Be sure to tell them EVERY DAY what they mean to you . Learn to adore them. And let them adore you back. Running a business with your partner can be the BEST or WORST thing in your life. And it's all about how much you are willing to face yourself. Change you, change your marriage and your business will grow always...
