SPI 112: How Matt Donley Quit to Go Full Time with His Side Gig—Even Though He’s Not an Expert
#112: Today, I’m happy to welcome Matt Donley on the SPI podcast who is still working for himself and successfully running his online business. He owns a site called MasterSketchUp.com, which teaches people how to use SketchUp, a 3-D modeling software that I actually used for over a year when I was still in the architecture industry. We cover his entire story, including how he was able to break away from the 9 to 5 and launch a successful business from the side gig he had in his after work hours.

SPI 104: The Dark Side of Online Business, Blogging, and Success
#104: Building a successful online business or blog doesn’t happen overnight, but beyond that, it’s not always pretty and positive either. Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been doing this for a while, you will always come across some of the negative aspects of being online, and I think it’s important to talk about these things and be real with you about what might be ahead, so you can be better prepared and understand that you’re not alone.
