Starting a side hustle in 2025? Make this your #1 priority...
|
I will never forget making my first $100 from my side hustle. In June 2018, I landed my first freelance writing client to ghostwrite a blog article. I made $200. It was a small fraction of my income, but it totally shifted my mindset. I had proven I could make money independently from my 9-5. And if I could make $200, I could make $2,000. I just needed to replicate the process. The following month, I made $400. Within a year, my side hustle was bringing in an average of $2,000 per month. ____________ If you're starting your first side hustle in 2025, making that first $100 should be your top priority.

July 2016. The sun, almost directly overhead, was beating down hard. I could feel the sweat gathering on my forehead, and I hadn’t even hit the stage yet. My black button-down and dark jeans weren’t helping. My bandmates and I stood backstage — if you could call it that — it was a white tent tucked stage right. Security and staff buzzed around, focused on their tasks. At least we had cold water. After about 30 minutes, the signal came. The five of us climbed the stairs and stepped onto the...
Hey everyone! A quick thought for today... The dream isn't a business. Most people think they want a business, but what they actually want is a life. A life where they wake up excited. Where they choose how to spend their time. Where they work because they want to, not because they have to. A business is just a tool. The life is the goal. What are you designing — a business or a life? Best, Colin _________________________ 🚀 Ready to take action? Here’s how we can connect: → Join the...
