Paul is joined by Nick Nalbach to talk about escaping the nine to five existence a lot of us live in and how to make ‘passive income’ which will enable you to live life on your terms and take back control.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Entrepreneurs are driven to solve problems head on whereas business owners sit at the top of their business, watching their employees work, collecting the paycheck – not that I’m bashing that, and a lot of entrepreneurs start off that way. Entrepreneur is a mindset, whereas business owner is a title.
You do get asked questions like “you’re putting a lot of time into the podcast, but how much is it making you?” It’s not making me any money right now, I’m doing it for the fun and the experience. I enjoy it and it’s connecting me to some amazing people. It’s one rung of the ladder to get me to the next step.
At first, I saw success as material things – cars, houses, etc – but the more I talked to more entrepreneurs that are crushing it and now I think of success as freedom and having control of your life. I want to enlighten people who feel stuck in their nine to five existences through my book, as a kind of mentor. If you’re going to try building something, having a mentorship from someone who’s been there and done it is so valuable. They can bring new ideas to the table that you may never have thought of or point out the mistakes that you’re making without realising it.
Be you, continue being you and continue being human, stay authentic. It might sound cheesy, but it will attract more people than you can imagine, even if you think you’re the most off the wall one off, you’ll be surprised how many people have the same interests as you and are just like you.
BEST MOMENTS
‘I define myself as an entrepreneur and a podcaster.’
‘I have in my mind a vision of where I see me and my brand going and how I want to get there and how everything will be tied together.’
‘Something a nine to five doesn’t allow is for you to go out and experience things. Why would I stick around if that's the case?’
‘You only have a finite amount of time when it’s all said and done, how you spend it is important. Spend it with the people you love, doing the things you love.’

ABOUT THE GUEST
Nicholas Nalbach didn’t really know what line of work he wanted to get into, he graduated with a degree in Business Administration from the University of Wisconsin – Stout. Like most people, he knew a college degree is something he should pursue, without a real agenda or end goal in mind.
He is now a Project Manager for a construction company who travels to a new project each year, so is never in the same place for more than a few months at a time. He says: “It is very exciting getting to experience places I never would’ve thought to visit, but I am putting in many long hours each week. And don’t get me wrong, I like what I do, I am just looking for a way to make my cash flow more passive.”
The book ‘The Millionaire Fastlane: Crack the Code to Wealth and Live Rich for a Lifetime!’ by MJ DeMarco, completely changed the way he thought about his career and making money.
He then started thinking about what passive income is. “I’ve always thought of it as unfathomable, and only the lucky few could manage to get there, but it’s not!” Through research he heard countless testimonials of people who were making passive income a reality for themselves.
For Nick, it’s not about being the next Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos. It’s more about having the freedom to live life and spend valuable time with the people you love and care about.
“I want to help you achieve the very thing that I am working towards. That’s what Nine-Five to Freedom is all about. I am not an expert by any means, and I may not always have the answers at first. However, I am willing to put in the work it takes to get myself, and you, there. Are you!?”
