Action Item:
As Richard Branson once said, "Business opportunities are like buses, there's always another one coming."
The same could be said for side hustles. As you're listening to these episodes, consider what kind of preparation went into building the side hustles that made them successful and ask yourself:
1. How am I preparing for my side hustle?
2. What steps can I take to create the foundation for a successful hustle?
Remember, inspiration (and luck!) is good, but inspiration combined with action and is much better.
Words of Wisdom
Luck and good fortune can help you along, but hard work and being prepared can take you even further. You may listen to some of these episodes and think that these people just got lucky in finding successful projects—but most of these people worked hard once an opportunity to do something presented itself.
I don't recommend that you wait for luck to come your way, but I do recommend that you be ready to work and hit the ground running if an opportune moment does show up. Some side hustles may come easily, but for the most part, they still require some work on your part especially in the beginning.
