Most people think they need one great side hustle idea.

But that's not the only path.

Today you'll hear from Norman Leach, how multiple income streams can come from at least three places that are already part of your life: the skills you have, the problems you notice, and the interests you naturally follow.

None of his multiple income streams started as big, polished business ideas. Instead, they started small, and grew over time.

If you've been waiting for the "right" idea, may this episode help you see that it's closer than you think.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• How a simple skill turned into a long-term income stream
• How noticing a problem led to a business opportunity
• Why not every side hustle needs to be a full business
• How one interest can lead to multiple opportunities over time

What would you do if your job disappeared tomorrow?

After six years at Ticketmaster, that's what happened to Rachel Minion. She was suddenly furloughed during the pandemic. At the same time, her husband had just been laid off.

There was no backup plan.

But Rachel had something that many of you have or are wanting to have ... a side hustle with a small handful of clients.

So she made a decision.

She called those clients and told them she was now available full-time. She shares that since then, her marketing agency is now generating about $560,000 a year.

We also learn from Rachel,

• how she made the leap from side hustle to full-time business,
• how she turns expertise into offers clients will pay for, and
• why marketing your own business, can feel harder than marketing someone else's.

If you're currently building something on the side or thinking about starting, this conversation with Rachel may expand what you think is possible, for you.

Branding seems to be important, but at the same time, can be hard to pin down.

So in this episode, we're making sense of it.

You'll hear from brand strategist Rob Genovesi about the three things that made the difference in 4X'ing his revenue, without making big changes. We touch on all three, but spend most of our time on what makes you different and how to express that more effectively so people remember you and choose you.

You'll also hear about a few simple and practical shifts, the kind Rob calls "dumb little things," that don't cost anything but can change how people experience your work.

Since recording this conversation, I've already implemented two of them and I share what I did in the end of the episode wrap-up.

Let me know your key takeaways, as I always love hearing what resonates with you.
