A rejection from Google was the best thing that ever happened to me. Two years ago I was an MBA intern at Google. I didn’t get the offer. Dejected, I refused to talk about it, unsure of how to unpack the experience. On today’s episode I’m sharing why that experience, along with other “rejections” were really blessings that positively fueled my side hustle mission. Here are just a few nuggets from this episode:  Google’s ‘No’ led me to my ultimate purpose: inspiring people to live unboxed and without apologies Failure is an event, not a personality trait Failure taught me to stop waiting to be chosen and instead choose myself Everyone should start a side hustle, even if you don’t want to be a full-time entrepreneur   Links mentioned in this episode:   The Beginner's Guide To Being Awesome by Brandon Carter Side Hustle Pro Facebook Group  &nbsp; Show notes from this week's episode: SideHustlePro.co Click here to subscribe via RSS feed (non-iTunes feed): http://sidehustlepro.libsyn.com/rss &nbsp; Important Announcements:If you listened to last week’s episodes, you know I’m gearing up to release the exact email templates I used to land even the most hard to reach guests.

Ep 19: How Rejection Led Me To Be A Side Hustle Pro

Side Hustle Pro Nicaila is back with&nbsp;a second check-in for 2017. Time is flying by. It seems like just the other day I was kicking off with the first episode of the year, and telling you guys about my mindset hacks for 2017. Now I'm here with some updates and progress reports.&nbsp; I break this episode up into three main topics: Number One: The Lessons I’ve learned since&nbsp;we last spoke Number Two: How my 12-week sprint is going. Number Three: What I’ve learned from launching my first online course, Master The Gram

Ep 36: Side Hustle Diaries: Check-In with Side Hustle Pro

One year ago, June 22, 2016 to be exact, I created Side Hustle Pro podcast with a microphone and a dream. The road to Side Hustle Pro really started when I graduated with my MBA, but no job. I was feeling pretty dejected, especially after I kept going on interview after interview and getting rejection after rejection. Then I started to wrestle with the idea of doing my own thing, but for some reason, I just couldn’t pull the trigger, because I &nbsp;didn’t see myself as an entrepreneur. And the reason I didn’t see myself as an entrepreneur is because...the narrative of entrepreneurship was of white men. I wanted to gain confidence and motivation from women who look like me. And particularly women who started as side hustlers (because, let's face it, these student loans are not going to pay themselves). So I started a series of "Side Hustle Pro" interviews on my old blog while I was unemployed and trying to find my way. The rest, is herSTORY. I didn't know all the blessings and challenges that would unfold as a result of launching Side Hustle Pro. Today, on my one year anniversary, I pause to look back on year one. I don’t come up for air often enough to take notes and reflect on how this all came to be (I'm too busy working to release an episode each week!). SoI'm grateful to have had some time to look back. On today’s episode, I get into: &nbsp;  The "secret" behind Side Hustle Pro's first year growth My hits and misses What I would do differently if I had to start it all over again My biggest lessons from Year 1 My goals and what's up next!  &nbsp; Listen on Apple Podcasts, Soundcloud or Stitcher Links mentioned on this episode   How To Start Your Own Podcast With No Experience  How To Write A Killer Cold Email  [COURSE] Master The Gram: Build An Engaged Audience On Instagram  [Case Study] The Simple Social Media Challenge That Helped Triple Side Hustle Pro’s Business  Click here to subscribe via RSS feed (non-iTunes feed): http://sidehustlepro.libsyn.com/rss Announcements Side Hustle Pro is 3000 members strong.

130 Latham Thomas - Creating Space for Self Love and Owning Your Glow

Today on the show, I am introducing you to my best kept secret: the woman who has taught me to turn my knowledge into a valuable, premium course.
Her name is Danielle Leslie and she founded Culture Add™ Labs to help companies and individuals uncover their Culture Add™ and launch profitable products online. She is also the creator of #CourseFromScratch, an 8-week online intensive that helps people create & launch their profitable & poppin’ online courses.

She has been an online marketer in Silicon Valley for almost 10 years and helped personal brands & influencers, including Guy Kawasaki, earn collectively millions of dollars by launching their online courses.

One of the reasons I wanted to have Danielle on the show is because her framework for course launches addresses our common human tendency to get stuck on the preparation part and delay your launch.

She teaches people like myself to not fall into the trap of creating your course content all before you’re ready to launch and instead, focus on what she calls the 4Cs. She breaks this all down in her masterclass, which you can sign up for at SideHustlePro.co/CourseFromScratch if you are interested.

In my own case, I have wanted to launch a podcast training program for almost a year, and I have been dragging my feet because:

I was overwhelmed with the thought of breaking all of the content down
I knew it was really valuable information that could make people thousands of dollars and thus I knew I would need to charge a premium price point (and I was SCARED to set that premium price point)

I turned to Danielle and with her guidance, I launched my podcast accelerator as an invite only program in February and it’s been an AMAZING experience so far.

What I’ve learned from Danielle is:
Focusing on creating a course that truly meets your student’s needs, means creating it with their active feedback, not creating it in a vacuum without their input 
I’ve also learned that it’s not going to be perfect the first time you do it so you have to get down to business and start, so you can improve.

On today’s episode, Danielle gets into:
Her straight line to the cash formula that shatters the most popular course creation narrative
The tools she used to do a $20,000 course launch in 60 days with no email list
Her MVC method to not overthink your launch and to pre-sell your course
How her online course made $25,000 alone in one month on Instagram...and how it has exploded since then.
As this episode premieres, Danielle just crossed the $100,000 mark, her first six figure month. And in today’s episode, she breaks down how she’s quickly approaching $1M in revenue this year

If you want to learn how Danielle’s online course made $100,000 in one month alone from Instagram listen to this entire episode, and remember to sign up for her Course From Scratch class at SideHustlePro.co/CourseFromScratch.

Grueling schedules, late night studio sessions, cheap eats, and "fine" spirits has led to a lot of health problems for many artists within the music industry. On this week’s episode we discuss the impact of veganism within the hip hop community with plant-based celebrity chef, author, and wellness influencer Chef Ahki. Chef Ahki has cooked for many musical artists and is a pioneer of the Electric Food Movement which encourages its followers to eat non hybrid, wild, and alkaline foods.  Her mission is to help others live a healthy lifestyle by "cooking to cure". During our discussion, Chef Ahki talks about veganism within music and how this important evolution promotes holistic activism. She even made a cameo in the music video for the viral hit "Vegan Thanksgiving" by Grey, who happens to be a vegan rapper.

Growing up in Oklahoma before moving to Texas (she is now based in Atlanta), Chef Ahki speaks on her Midwestern upbringing and how the family garden influenced her relationship with food. We also talk keeping supportive friends close, the best ways to transition to a vegan lifestyle, and how the chef used to sing back up for Miss Lauryn Hill!  She has definitely lived a electric life. To find out more about veganism and the hip hop movement, take a listen to the episode. It is a treat for your ears.
