Thank you so much for everyone who listened to and supported my debut podcasts last week (and for your feedback on making the audio better, I asked for a podcast mic for my birthday):
Today’s episode is your questions answered, and here were the questions I was asked and aimed to answer:
How do you ensure you don’t feel at your side hustle?
* Failure is likely in early stages; expect to pivot rather than quit.
* Start small with minimal risk before scaling up.
* Reframe failure as an opportunity to iterate and improve.
* Don’t let fear of others' opinions stop you from trying.
How has prayer played a role in your side hustle?
* Avoid using prayer as a form of procrastination—"When you pray, move your feet."
* Balance introspection (alone time) with seeking counsel from mentors and peers.
* Side hustles require perseverance; expect challenges and sacrifices.
* Your work and struggles refine your character rather than define you.
Takeaways:
* Start small, test ideas, and iterate.
* Don’t overthink—take action and learn from failure.
* Use prayer for guidance, but don’t let it stall your progress.
* Lean on mentors and community for direction.
* Expect hardships as part of meaningful work.
As always, thanks for listening, and if you have questions you’d like me to address on the podcast - simply reply to this e-mail.
