Check out these episode highlights: 01:16 – Nick’s ideal client: “Ideal client for me is rather an ideal listener or reader of the podcast or blog. Somebody who is reasonably tech savvy, who have got a little bit of free time and are wondering some productive ways to make some extra money with that time.” 01:55 – Problem Nick helps solve: “Problem on the reactive side is somebody who needs to make money. ‘I can't– I got to make rents next month.’ You know, ‘I'm struggling.’ On the proactive side was like ‘I was never the person who necessarily hated the corporate job, hated my day job, but I still wanted to use my free time more effectively.’” 02:49 – Typical symptoms that clients do before reaching out to Nick: “The stereotypical way that it hits somebody is they're 10-15 years deep into their career – maybe even earlier than that – and say like ‘I did what I was supposed to do. I went to school. I got a good job. I – maybe – have a house, a relationship. I have kids – maybe. Is this it? Is this all that there is?’” 04:07 – Common mistakes that people make before they find Nick’s solution: “One of the most common ones is this paralyzation of analysis; they try to find the perfect business idea. The other thing that gets people trapped up is just ‘I don't know where to start.’” 05:25 – Nick’s Valuable Free Action (VFA): “I call this the ‘what sucks method’. And so, you have to kind of put on your pessimist hat for a few days or a week of doing this. I just have a Notes app on my phone and I'm going to note down everything that sucks over the course of the day, over the course of the week.” 06:20 – Nick’s Valuable Free Resource (VFR): Get your creative juices flowing through Nick’s list of different part time money-making ideas by visiting https://www.sidehustlenation.com/ideas now! 07:05 – Q: What’s the favorite book I’ve read recently?
