I'm starting a side hustle and growing it to $100k. Building everything in public. Sharing everything I learn along the way, so you can do this, too.

These are my 3 rules:

1. I start from 0 with $100.
2. I use tools to automate things, but everything I say needs to work without tools, too.
3. I'm building a side hustle. If it eats into my day job I'm doing it wrong. No 60 hour hustle weeks.

I'm sharing everything on LinkedIn and TikTok. Let me know if you want the link to follow along!

You're not starting from 0, you're starting from $100. That's infinitely more than 0.

Would recommend helping someone move or catching some fish with your bare hands to sell to ensure your story is airtight.

Lol, fair point. I'm starting with infinitely more than 0 :p

Sounds like an amazing journey you are about to start on! Is this your first side gig ever? Very interested in the automation part, something I’m trying to do more of myself.

Sounds like you are definitely on the path to success. Thank you for sharing this. Transparency is what helps everyone in the long run.

Building in public with radical transparency. It keeps me accountable and forces me to maintain momentum.

Also, ideas are a dime a dozen without execution. Hopefully, someone sees my execution and applies it to their own ideas.

It's crazy how far you go with small incremental steps.

A side hustle doing what though...

I'll be selling and maintaining AV tech b2b. It's something I've seen a need for in my day-to-day job.

This journey is marketing, and it's a public challenge to myself. I'll share what I learn, and I'd be thrilled if others follow. But I'm not interested in selling courses or miracle cures to get rich quick. That's not the point.

Interested!

So, I just joined a startup. No processes, no clear strategy, just one goal: selling. Getting leads. When ever I try to build a strategy, they (founders) swamp me with blablabla stories and not a single action plan. Is this the usual at startups? Also,no real company culture. At all. No HR. I am reaaaally struggling to get a sense of belonging here. What should I expect?? Tia
