Adam shares his journey from owning and scaling a cleaning franchise to becoming a franchise coach who helps others find their perfect business match.

The conversation explores how franchising can provide structure, support, and a proven pathway to entrepreneurship for those who don't want to build a business from scratch. The episode wraps up with motivational insights and the powerful reminder that there's no one-size-fits-all definition of hustle, franchising might just be yours.

Find Your Entrepreneurial Fit Adam Goldman debunks the myth that entrepreneurship is only about inventing something new. Instead, he highlights franchising as a powerful and often-overlooked pathway for those who want business ownership without starting from scratch. By leveraging proven systems, prospective owners can focus on growth rather than reinventing the wheel. 2. The Power of Proven Systems Success in franchising often comes down to following established models. Adam emphasizes that the most successful franchisees are those who find a brand that resonates with them and fully commit to the franchise's processes. This "boring is beautiful" mindset underscores the value of consistency, structure, and support in achieving financial freedom and scalability. 3. Rethink What Success Looks Like Instead of chasing only glamorous industries, the episode celebrates "money in the muck", finding lucrative opportunities in unsexy but essential services like waste removal or compliance inspections. Aaron Gordon and Adam Goldman encourage listeners to broaden their definition of hustle, asserting that stability, recurring revenue, and local market mastery can be equally, if not more, rewarding.

    If you've ever wondered whether living small could unlock bigger dreams, this conversation will inspire you to keep hustling and create your own path.

    Get To Know Eric Hawkins

    Eric Hawkins is the owner of Cape Charles Tiny Livin, a tiny house hotel. But that's not where his story starts.

    Eric walked away from a 3,000-square-foot traditional home to live tiny — a decision that reshaped his life, his finances, and his understanding of freedom. What began as a lifestyle shift turned into a business, and eventually into a tiny house village that has been featured in Virginia Living Magazine, The Tamron Hall Show, and CBN.

    Today, Eric teaches others how to build income and options through tiny living — not by buying raw land or jumping in blind, but by learning how to think strategically and revive overlooked properties. He's the author of Unstuck and Unstoppable and the creator of a masterclass that helps people move from stuck and overwhelmed to clear and confident.

    Eric speaks openly about fear, faith, freedom, and the practical steps it takes to design a life that actually fits — not just one that looks good on paper.

    3 Key Listener Takeaways


    1. Define Your Own Hustle: Eric Hawkins emphasizes the importance of having a clear personal vision. Rather than hustling for what society expects, focus on the one image or goal that genuinely excites you and let it guide your daily decisions to maximize fulfillment.


    2. Pivot Without Fear: The episode highlights that your "needle" (or goal) can and should evolve over time. Eric Hawkins's story of walking away from a 3,000 sq ft home to embrace tiny living shows that being flexible, not defined by possessions, and open to change leads to greater happiness and clarity.


    3. Exposure Builds Confidence: Eric Hawkins encourages listeners to gain exposure and try new experiences, whether that's RV living or scaling back. Stepping outside your comfort zone, regardless of others' opinions, can move you from feeling stuck to being confident and clear about what you truly want.
