Online Courses and Podcast Guests
Many podcast guests sell online courses, making up 20-30% of Side Hustle Show episodes. Guests promoting products is a tradition across media platforms, giving exposure in return for valuable content. Charging guests for appearances is common in podcasts, but the Side Hustle Show doesn't charge. Some guests later create courses or offer consulting services based on listener interest, leveraging their expertise through online platforms.
Managing Lifestyle Creep with Income Growth
Lifestyle creep refers to rising expenses as income increases, which can be acceptable if it enhances quality of life. Balancing current enjoyment with future financial goals is crucial. Understanding your savings rate and managing expenses is key for financial independence. Frugal habits are persistent, and maintaining a balance between present enjoyment and future security is essential for long-term financial well-being.
Role of Luck in Success
Success involves a mix of hard work and luck. Serendipitous moments can significantly impact outcomes. You can increase your 'luck surface area' by doing what you are passionate about and sharing it with others. While hard work and proactive efforts are vital, acknowledging the role of luck in seizing opportunities is essential for achieving success.
It's a jam-packed Q&A session with actionable insights to help you level up your side hustle game, so there's a little something for everyone in this episode.
