Welcome back to the Diversified Income Experiment! Today, I am pleased to have a conversation with Nick Loper! Nick is an entrepreneur and the author of the book “$1,000 100 Ways: How Real People Make Real Money on the Side”. Nick’s entrepreneurial journey began at an early age — selling candy to his fellow Boy Scouts at summer camp, and eventually painting houses in college at the University of Washington. After graduation, he did what he was “supposed” to do: get a full-time for a giant corporation. However, he was able to build his biz nights and weekends. His book has literally hundreds of side hustle ideas. It showcases his successes and failures, as well as the actionable lessons from hundreds of fellow side hustle entrepreneurs.In this episode, Nick talks about the biggest lessons from his book $1000 100 Ways. We talk about some of the coolest and most successful businesses featured in his book and how the entrepreneurs who made them possible were able to crush their side hustles. Nick also shares his thoughts on overcoming the fear of starting a business and how you can grow your podcast today.
