Is the thought of finding your passion overwhelming you? Has it stopped you from moving forward in starting your side hustle?
After reading a great article called "Not Every Hobby Is A Side Hustle" by Ann Friedman we are diving into the idea of whether doing what you're passionate about makes for the best side hustle, do you have to be passionate about your side hustle at all, and why being passionate about the results something gives you may enough.
What is your side hustle idea? Do you feel passionate about it or are you more passionate about the results it will give you? Please email us at Team@locationindie.com and let us know!
In This Episode:
- 02:15 Lessons From A Deviled Egg
- 04:30 Does Your Side Hustle Have To Be Something Your Passionate About?
- 11:15 Getting Into An Industry That Your Hobby or Interest Lies In
- 14:45 Passion As A Whole Or Only A Piece
- 17:20 The Danger Of The Word Passion
- 19:13 You Can Be Passionate About The Results & Not The Thing
Quotes:
"If you are passionate about something, does it have to become a side hustle? The answer is no. You should and can take sacred things that you do in life and say I am never going to turn this into a business." [14:47]
"Maybe it is healthier to not look at the overall business as something you have to be passionate about." [16:01]
"That is the danger of the word passion to me when it relates to entrepreneurship and starting side hustles is that people will say 'Do I have to be passionate about something to start a side hustle around it?' and it's hard to give a yes or no answer because passion isn't something that is always a yes or no thing." [17:23]
"So if you're sitting there and your saying, 'I don't know if I am passionate about this?'. Does it spur your interest a little bit? Is it something that you think would be fun? And if so, then you might go down that path to start seeing if it is something you're passionate about with the caveat that if you don't end up crazy passionate about it, that is also okay." [18:47]
"You don't always have to be crazy passionate about the thing that you're doing. You can be passionate about the results that you are going to achieve because of that." [19:13]

Quotes:
"You want to make sure you are saying no to the things that aren't as important so that you can say yes when an opportunity comes up that is important or that is something that you want to take advantage of." [12:33]
"Taking things away is actually sometimes the solution." [13:32]
"As humans, I think most of us are conditioned to always want to say yes and put ourselves second." [15:05]
"If you think about your time as your greatest asset (which it is) then you protect that like crazy. [15:53]
"If people take just one thing away from everything they have ever listened to on this podcast, I think the most important thing you can try to do and the most important lesson I can ever impart is the more proactive you are the better your life is going to be. [17:25]

Last week we discussed the triangle of freedom (if you missed it go back and take a listen) so that you can be proactive and not reactive in your own life. Today, we are getting into what we believe is the best way to start your path to the triangle of freedom and that is the side hustle. Now, this doesn't have to mean that you take this giant leap from full-time work to scrambling to make money but instead having a side hustle builds a bridge from full-time employed work to full-time work in your own business without the stress and drama of having to sink or swim.
We will be doing a lot more episodes on side hustles, quitting your job, entrepreneurship mindset plus a ton more and we really appreciate having you with us on this journey. If there is a topic you would like to hear more about please email us at Team@locationindie.com.

How much is business a part of your lifestyle?
Today we are breaking down lifestyle business vs business lifestyle and what that actually means. Once you start your business your eyes get opened to all things business-related so that you can improve your business, expand your network, & share knowledge with others all while having fun (yes, actual fun).
We talk a lot about the lifestyle part of location independence such as traveling but we haven't really dived into the business lifestyle and what that can look like for many people especially those who are just starting out. It is time for us to flip the lifestyle business term on its head, get intuned with the business mindset, and embrace the freedom to explore without limits.

Today we are discussing why we spent 20k on coaching, how it can fast track your progress, and why coaching is such a positive investment in your future.
You can get to the next level on your own or you can utilize the minds & experience of those who are already doing it and doing it well, the choice is always yours. We choose to invest in ourselves (& businesses) to get to the stage we want in a much faster fashion because we know that time is money and spending all that time to figure it out on our own wasn't go to benefit us in the long run.

And now for podcast #2 with a LIVE audience via our Zoom room!
Is it okay to still be talking about travel? No one wants to be seen as insensitive, uncaring, or tone-deaf during these extremely tough times (for us all) so this is a question a lot of us in the travel world have been asking ourselves. Trav came up with 6 reasons why not only is it okay but we should be talking about travel right now. Join us as Trav breaks down his list and Jason either agrees or counterargues with his views.
We hope you all are healthy, happy, & safe! Remember we will all be traveling once again in the near future but for now, it is our duty to stay home so that the world can be a safer place for everyone.

While the coronavirus should be taken very seriously, we wanted to do something fun to show that it doesn't have to be all doom and gloom & we can make this new normal a positive one if we try.
