Description

In this episode of The Successful Side Gig I focus on how to pick a business idea or make sure your side gig is helping you down the right path. 

The questions you can ask yourself to find out your calling:

1. What do you look forward to doing on your days off/weekends?
2. What do you enjoy reading, listening or learning about?
3. What do people often come to you seeking advice for?

Is your business going to solve a problem or bring people pleasure? 

Key Lessons and take aways from this weeks episode:

-Don't get caught up in the how, you can learn

-DO your research but just because your business idea is already being done doesn't mean you have to quit. Is your business offering a better, cheaper, faster, closer version than competitors?

-Things will not happen overnight, you will need to work consistently . Life ain't like Instagram!

-Find people that excel at what you are doing and talk to them. Ask if you can shadow, what do they love most about their work?

-You know deep down what you are good at and it could be a great business

-Utilize tech or a notepad to capture all of your business ideas. No matter how dumb you think they may be!
