July 27, 2021July 26, 2021 / TMH / 1 Comment

In her answer to a listener/fan’s question, Marie Forleo provides three proven steps on HOW TO FIND THE MOTIVATION TO KEEP GOING WHEN YOU’RE FEELING STUCK .

Here is a link to the transcript for the session.

A few gems:

“…ambiguity is the enemy of execution.”

“So once you decide what you really want to work on, what is that specific concrete goal, then we need a deadline.”

“(Deadlines) help me keep things simple.”

“…one of the keys for me to stay consistently motivated is to make sure that I’m doing the simple things that make the biggest difference in terms of my energy, my health, and my cognitive prowess.”

Reminder: Side Hustle Spark 133 pointed you toward Chris Guillebeau’s exploration of ‘stuckness’.

Chris Guillebeau, author of The Money Tree, Side Hustle: From Idea to Income in 27 Days, The $100 Startup, etc., and creator of over 1400 consecutive podcasts, also shared his expertise on Periscope.

Five months ago, he posted a session, How to Avoid Getting Stuck.

Skip to the 14:30 mark to listen to him embellish these five suggestions:

— Identify potential problems in advance.

— Always know your next step.

— Impose an artificial deadline.

— Look for an alternative way forward.

— Try something totally different.

[Note: Each of his 30+ minute Periscope sessions also feature a live participant Q. and A. that nails down many of the universal concerns of side hustlers.]

Update to ‘Idea to Income’ page

March 8, 2021 / TMH / Leave a comment

While I juggle other projects at home, including this fun blog, I keep tiptoeing into my own next side hustle.

So here’s an update on my ‘Idea to Income’ page.

I’m farther along in the process than this page suggests, but I’ve been meaning to add something substantial for awhile.

If nothing else, I hope this page points you to the task tracker I’m using.

Side Hustle Spark 212: “Say your dreams out loud.” (Jadah Sellner)

March 3, 2021March 2, 2021 / TMH / Leave a comment

People like Chris Guillebeau help make my version of curation fun and interesting.
(Okay, maybe it’s curation-lite, since I often point you toward people, tools, and resources and let you decide if you want to read or click further.)
Today, it was a matter of opening Chris’s email, click/tap and–there it is!–I meet Jadah Sellner, thanks to a linked video at his 2014 World Domination Summit. Jadah has continued rising since launching Simple Green Smoothies in 2012 , was a TEDx speaker, is now a business mentor, and has her own Lead with Love podcast.

Her 2014 message: Say your dreams out loud.

My favorite quote: “When you’re bootstrapping a business, you don’t have the time and energy to do ‘one more thing’. But we did it anyways…and the one thing that we almost didn’t do was the kickstart to growing this amazing community of rockstars.”

Side Hustle Spark 203: Chris Guillebeau’s Failure Friday (new feature at Side Hustle School)

February 20, 2021February 24, 2021 / TMH / Leave a comment

Here’s a link to the first episode of Side Hustle School’s Failure Friday.

Quotes from Chris’s show notes:

“…Failure Friday…a collection of short stories all about mistakes, missteps, disasters, and of course, failure.”

“The stories will vary, but often it starts with an idea, what they thought would happen and what really happened—and of course, what they learned.”

And, here’s

the link to Sheena Brady’s ultimate Tease Tea success story.)
a plug for Chris’s first featured ‘failure’ ;-). (Tease Tea is now bringing in $10,000/month via Amazon.)

https://teasetea.com

And now, time for book recommendations…or shameless commercialism…or both. Okay, there are definitely book recommendations…

These seven books are go-to sources of inspiration and valued experience. These are affiliate links which, if you use to preview and buy the product, won’t raise the product’s price and will earn me a commission. At that point, I’ll be that much closer to buying that unclaimed island in the Caribbean. Please don’t ask for the island’s coordinates. It is mine and you can’t have it. ;->

These books cut across so many lines of productivity and accomplishment. Whether you use these links or go elsewhere, get your hands on these.

The more I worked with it, however, the more I heard ‘the voices’: “You need more updated content! You need more updated content!”

Yeah, welcome to my world, where the voices don’t just talk…they sing. ;->

Anyway, some of the other link categories include: Content Marketing, Inspiration for Side Hustlers, Chris Guillebeau/Side Hustle School, Seth Godin, NIck Loper/Side Hustle Nation, and Blogging.

I hope you find content that hits one of your targets.
