Episode 904
THEMES & TAKEAWAYS: We’ve just finished week 25 of Season III! This week, we featured episodes about French toast bites, cayenne pepper throat lozenges, a natural hair care empire that is now a multi-million dollar operation, and so much more. Over here, I finished three long days in Canada, and I’m relocating back to Portland, Oregon for the next 10 days to prepare for the 9th annual World Domination Summit. I’m very excited about everyone coming to town … and there’s also a lot to be done. In this action-packed recap, I'd like to touch on a question that comes up with a lot of frequency: what’s the easiest side hustle idea to start right away? I’ll give you a clear and direct answer, but remember that a more important question might be "What are your goals?" or "Why do you want to have a new source of income? Your answer might determine a next step that’s different than the answer to “What’s the easiest idea to start right now?”WHERE ARE THEY NOW: Today, we have an update from Andrew Bliss who was featured on the show in Ep. 276.
