“I am scared to speak to potential customers”

One reason people don’t doing anything with their business idea is they are unsure if its any good.

They get excited about the idea and then pull themselves back down with the negative assumption that “no one will buy this”.

The way to overcome this is to speak with potential customers to see if they would buy your service as is or with a minor tweak.

But this is too hard.

Too much effort.

So the cycle continues.

📈 Rising excitement about your idea.

📉 Brought down with negative assumptions

If I want to you help you get your side hustle to be successful I need to address this problem.

I need to make the cycle in getting feedback from potential customers fast and with the least amount of effort.

What do I have that can help? 🤔

Oh yeah 💡

I have a community of mentors and mentees. A diverse group of people who made the decision to improve themselves and others.

Around 20 to 30 people said they would like to help by giving feedback on people’s ideas.

This gives the you real, tangible data that allows you to move to the next stage in building your business.

It gives fast feedback with limited effort.

✅A 45 year old female executive likes your business idea and would buy something like this. Great!

❌A 32 year old male business owner doesn’t find it useful for them. Perhaps that isn’t my target market.

With this data I can then sit with you and help you work out where to go from here (Start / Tweak / Shelve).

Are we misleading the next generation by glamorising entrepreneurship?

The truth is, not everyone is cut out for the sleepless nights, uncertainty, and relentless drive entrepreneurship demands.

I have tried the entrepreneur lifestyle and it brought me some of the lowest times in my life. Watching $80K in my bank erode away.

Financial stability and work-life balance - often found in professions with firm 9 to 5s - suit a myriad of individuals.

Here's a thought - your passion project doesn't have to upend your entire life.

Why not consider it as a lucrative side hustle instead? That way, you're earning extra from something you love but still maintaining financial and career stability.

That's what I do now. And I couldn't be happier.

Let's shift the narrative - are you ready to embrace the journey to professional stability and side hustle success?

Learn the steps to take your business idea and make it into a real business without needing to quit your current job.

Ever caught yourself using one of these 5 excuses to put your business dreams on hold?

"I don't have time"
"I don't know where to start"
"I don't have the right qualifications"
"I don't think my idea is good enough"
"I don't have enough money"

Get ready, because not only are we about to debunk each one, but we've got the game-changing solutions that will kickstart your journey to turning that brilliant idea into a thriving reality.

I will write a post about each one.

𝗘𝘅𝗰𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝟭 - "𝗜 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲".
Did you know that the average Australian spends just under 2 hours a day watching TV and another 2 hours a day on Social Media.

That is a lot of time per day.

I bet if you recorded what you do every hour each week you will find some time that could be used towards building your dream business.

You only need a couple of hours a week to get your business started.

With a couple of hours each week, and with my course, you can be well on your way to getting your first paid customer within 30 days.

𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝟭 - 𝗕𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳.

Do you really want to give your business idea a proper go?

Is it something fun to talk about with friends but you never intend to follow through?

If you DO want to want to have your own business then you have to selfishly carve out time for it.

No excuses.

Your future self, and your future clients, will thank you for doing it.

How to come up with a name for your business.

If you do not have any idea what you want to call your new business then here is a great prompt for ChatGPT or Google Bard to get some ideas quickly.

🗣️ “I am setting up a new business. It will be based in and is for helping to . It will focus on . I need some ideas for a business name for this.”

For example, here would be my prompt for my new Side Hustle course if I was starting from the beginning.

🗣️ “I am setting up a new business. It will be an online course for Australians and is for helping people aged 40+ who have a family and want start their own side business while still maintaining their current job. It will focus on the simple steps needed to help them take their idea and turn it into reality and towards their first paying customer. I need some ideas for a business name for this”

This will give a range of suggestions ranging from absolutely terrible to good.

If you get some good ones and would like to see more like that then use this prompt.

🗣️ “That is great. I quite like and also . Can you give me more options like these two please?”

Now select one. Say it out loud a few times to yourself to hear it.

Ta-da, now you have your business name.

But before you go registering the name, you need to check if there are businesses with the same name or if a similar name has been trademarked.
