    Trying to get into consultancy - not sure where to start

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    This looks promising. There is only one way to find out: talk to them! Do not assume it is not a big enough problem for them, maybe they do not know how to solve. It reminded my of the case of an entrepreneur (who is now killing it!). She had a solution for fish farms, something that...

    Don't Let the Fastlane Devolve Into Side Hustles

    RANT 
    Interesting... Although not all side hustlers are made equal and here is where the mindset matters. Some of these hustlers are just looking for easy money and have the shiny object syndrome. But many others are just giving the first step towards fastlane. And these side hustles can be just...

    How to Create a $2k+/mo Passive Income Website in 30 Days (or Less)

    GOLD! HOT! EXECUTION 
    Depends on the service, but it could be an option. What I did was offering a course solving a very specific problem of a niche I know well. You could try something similar with either a product or a service. The key is solving the problem effectively.

    Closing my company – Post-mortem analysis so you can learn from my mistakes

    EXECUTION 
    I agree, although, it is also important to focus on willingness to buy. There are many things people need but they still do not want to pay for them, (we humans are irrational creatures), or sometimes they don't even realize they actually need them.

    Closing my company – Post-mortem analysis so you can learn from my mistakes

    EXECUTION 
    That is a good point. In any case, within the range of products that people want to buy, in my case, I prefer to focus on need for this one instead of nice to have! But the focus on willingness to pay is certainly important!
