A side hustle won’t save you!

ByJowi

Hey Reader,

When I look around, most men want to start a side hustle to get the business off the ground.

I love the idea and motivation they have—to provide for their family and spend more time with them.

There is only one flaw on that side:
They plan for a side hustle, not for an exit strategy.

The numbers tell the difference.

Most people starting a side hustle are happy about any money they can make.
They start to offer low-price digital products:
A template for $20 or an ebook for $8.

While those are good products,
they won’t really make a dent to replace a $10K per month income.

You would need to sell 500 templates or 1120 ebooks per month.

Those are big numbers.

To replace your yearly salary, this would mean 6,000+ total customers.

This could take probably a YouTube channel with 100,000 subscribers—
which is in the top 1% on YouTube.

The question becomes: What should I do instead?

We need to work our way back.

How can you reach $10,000 per month with a realistic number of clients?

If the plan is not to start a side hustle,
but a business that gives you the ability to quit your job,
we also need to work directly with clients.

The answer is to develop a high-ticket offer that is priced realistically.

When you’re struggling with coming up with your offer,
apply “offer up” and I will get you the help you need to get your family business off the ground.

    In the last three years we have seen many shifts in SEO. What used to be a debate between white hat and black hat, SEO is now a more fundamental question. Since the entry of ChatGPT on the stage, there is a major shift happening.

    Hey Reader, How often have you heard:“But he did it first!” Many kids justify their actions as reactions.They say, look at the other person… they are so much worse than I am. We see this today with adults, too—when they put blame on others as an excuse for their bad behavior. It makes me sad to see it in the news every day: “I’m not to blame.” “He was already doing it.” “I’m not as bad as he is.” These are all statements of giving back what you’ve received—with the point of escape or…

  • Goal or Journey? Both!

    Hey Reader, When I was in university, there was a big debate: Whether life was about the goal to achieve or enjoying living the journey. As a success-driven person, I always stated that the goal and the outcome matter most. Now that I hunted success for many years, I’ve noticed another pattern. If you don’t enjoy the process to get the success—success is falling short. You need to have goals because they serve as landmarks to give your journey a direction. That is something I have seen in…

    Hey Reader, The advice to follow your passion has been talked about for many years. Recently, everybody started to talk about Ikigai. It’s a Japanese concept with four sections. The idea is to help you narrow down what you should do. It evaluates whether you’re good at it, whether others demand it, the market, and whether you have passion for it. All good things. There is one challenge though. On paper, it makes everything sound good. When I started out, I talked about fatherhood—because it’s…

    Hey Reader, I enjoy success. There is something extremely satisfying about winning. For me, success is the biggest motivation to play. A statement that I used to define was: “We’re in it to win it.” The more I chase success, the more I notice some patterns of bad success. You look like you have it all, but you’ve lost the important things along the way. We all look at business and probably think that the amount of money is the deciding factor of success in business. The biggest misconception…
