Q&A: Help! I’m stuck trying to find my “ah-ha” idea

Notes from Chris

Episode 1246

Are you getting stuck trying to find the right idea? I sometimes mention a couple of things you can do in this situation … but today’s caller has already tried them and is still stuck.

She’s looking for what she calls her “ah-ha” idea. How can she proceed when she really wants to move forward but isn’t sure how?

"Hi, Chris, this is Monica in Los Angeles, California. Thanks for the show and sharing so much valuable information on starting side hustle, especially in such an unsettling economy as the one we're currently facing during this pandemic.

My question is about starting that side hustle. I really know I want to side hustle, but I can't find the side hustle to start. I think about it. I keep my eyes open for opportunities. I've inventoried my skills, but nothing has crossed my path that gives me that aha moment. The concept of do what you love and the money will follow is not a guarantee. But certainly you have to at least value or be interested in the thing about which you're hustling. Right?

So my question is, what do you do when you really want a profitable side hustle? But you just can't come up with that aha. Idea. Thanks. And I hope you and your team stay safe."
