A podcaster spent a year failing at side hustles before realizing the podcast itself was teaching them. They interviewed people who'd left their jobs to start businesses, learned from those conversations, and quit their own 9-to-5 to go full-time.
Bill, you're not gonna be surprised to hear this, but every little side hustle I tried failed, like miserably. Every single one. And I did that for a full year. And it was like once every couple months I try something or maybe hate it could be anything like that. I realized I needed help, let's put it that way, to say the least. And you and I know it's about podcasting. Podcasting in many ways is free coaching. And my lightning fast mind was like, you know what? I'd already done a couple of things in podcasting just for fun before this, but I was like, I'm gonna. I'm gonna start a business podcast entrepreneurship 1. I'm going to talk to people who successfully left 9 to 5 job to become a full time entrepreneur. I'm going to figure out how they did it. And I don't know if that was brilliant or me just being selfish. I don't know what it was at this point, Bill. I like to think it added a lot of value to people who listened as well. But that's where I finally learned there's a better equation for entrepreneurship. And that's ultimately what caused me to leave the 9 to 5 job was just learning from others that have successfully done it instead of just trying all these random things myself.
