Most people aren't mentally prepared to be an entrepreneur because they're sold a dream that starting an online business is easy. 


The part of entrepreneurship that not many coaches and gurus don't talk about online is "you're going to have to get comfortable being bad at something, before you get good at it".

In addition to navigating all of the business struggles, you'll have to overcome personal obstacles all while keeping your business operational.

In this Bonus Episode, I'm sharing the audio from my guest appearance on Season 3 of Red Cup Talks hosted by Obed Burgess  (Podcaster, Actor, and Entrepreneur).  


Obed and I discuss...

• Laying the foundation for business success 
• Key to pivoting when you find yourself in the wrong business model
• Bouncing back in your business after life gives you a knockout punch
• Getting through the failures that go along with being in business especially in the early stages of your entrepreneurial journey

And more...

Remember, in the world of business, it's not about what obstacles you'll face, it's about the action you take to overcome.


Whether you're starting out or looking to pivot your current career journey, the  insights discussed related to overcoming setbacks are game-changing.

Many new coaches face a harsh reality...

If you don't have clients, you don't have a coaching business.

And the only way to have clients is to install a process that delivers leads to your business daily.

In Ep. 90, I breakdown the exact sales process you need to install in your coaching  business to have a pipeline of clients.

The best part about the sales process I share in the episode, is most of it can be automated.

If you've been thinking about starting a business or starting to grow an online audience, you may have found yourself wondering, "Do I really need a niche?"

In this weeks episode, I'm discussing why choosing a niche can help you grow your online business significantly faster by choosing a niche and I'm also sharing a variety of questions to help you uncover the perfect niche for you and your business.

Resources Mentioned in Today's Episode:

Questions to Ask to Help You Choose a Niche

• Is there an area or a topic that you’re really passionate about?
• Is there a topic where you know more than the average person? 
• If you have a job, why did you choose that role? What drew you to that type of position or work?
• Do you enjoy the type of work that you do or is there a type of work you really enjoy? Maybe even a past job?
• If you have a degree, why did you choose that degree? Was there a certain class or topic that you were really interested in? 
• What kinds of hobbies and activities do you like?
• What could you talk with someone about for 30+ minutes?
• Have you helped family or friends in the past ease a certain pain point? 
• Do you have really great advice on a certain topic or area? 
• What have people told you you’re really good at in the past? 
• Have you mastered a certain aspect of your life that other people struggle with? 
• Have you achieved certain results for yourself that others might find desirable?

Want to start an online business but don't know where to start?

Want to build and scale a business that will help you achieve your dream of financial freedom and live the entrepreneurial lifestyle full time?

Use your 9-5 day job to build your online business and become financially free so that you can live the entrepreneurial lifestyle full time. It's time to use your job to quit your job.

That's what today's episode is all about. Take the expertise accumulated over years of working 40 hours per week. Take that expertise and turn it into a business that generates recurring revenue for you for the rest of your life. (just like I did).

I'm going to show you how in today's episode of The Entrepreneur Ride Along Podcast.

The Day Job Niche
The day job is one of my absolute favorite places to find business ideas. You are an expert at whatever you do in your day job. You are literally a professional; you are paid to do what you do every day, forty hours a week, fifty-two weeks a year. That is the definition of expertise. You spend over 2,000 hours per year focused on one particular task in one specific industry. You have an immense amount of knowledge on this subject, knowledge that other people will pay to access. If you look, you will find a topic you have mastered in your day job that you can turn into your first business. I don’t care whether you are a barista at Starbucks, the retail manager of a Dicks sporting goods, a financial analyst at KPMG, an attorney for Samsung, or the CEO of Google. That job, where you spend over 40 hours per week, every single week is a breeding ground for business ideas. 

If you want to start a side gig or build a business to support yourself financially so you can live life as you please (and not work), look to that monstrous time suck where you spend 40 hours per week. Use it to lose it. Use your job to build a business so you can quit your job and reap the financial rewards. 

So why should your day job be your first business? Well, there are three simple reasons.

• It’s easy
• It’s the quickest path to success
• It’s profitable

I'm going to show you why I love the day job niche, and show you how to utilize this niche to start your first online business, in today's episode of The Entrepreneur Ride Along Podcast.

I just sold one of my websites for $95,000. Today, I will tell you all about how to sell a website, how I flipped my website for $95,000, and I will give you a review of Empire Flippers (the broker I used to sell my business).

The business is the "Pomsky Owners Association". A business I started in 2017 as a website to practice my SEO. The website has grown substantially over the past few years, averaging over $2,000 in monthly profit. Through Empire Flippers, I was able to get a 55x multiple of monthly earnings, which put the valuation of my business just under $95,000. 

I learned a lot along the way selling this business. I first started the process of selling this business on April 27th 2021. I didn't officially list the website for sale until July 6th 2021. I didn't sell the business until August 14th 2021, and I didn't get paid for the sale until December 28th 2021. It's a LONG process, and I messed up quite a bit along the way (which slowed up the process). I talk all about that in today's episode including what to expect when selling your business, the expenses you can expect for broker fees and taxes, and all the behind the scenes in flipping a website.

In today's episode I'm going breakdown why I sold my business, share the lessons I learned, and show you how to sell a website on Empire Flippers using my business as a case study.

Book marketing is new to me. I'm learning a lot!

In today's episode, I share what's working, and what's not, when marketing my book Step One. 

Step One: The Surprisingly Simple Process To Research, Validate, And Choose The Perfect Online Business launched in September of 2021. The launch went great, I sold over 120 copies in the first month and hit #1 in the new release category for eCommerce.

Today, I talk through what I am doing to keep the sales rolling in now that the launch period is over.
