I’m in year 6 of my business and my customers went off a cliff. I was closing about 3-5 deals per month and then in year 6 - it took a nose dive. But I’ve dug deep, looked at my own motivation and what made me start and flourish all those years and it’s what I truly enjoy. So- I’m pivoting by trying out a few new types of clients and I will get over this hurdle. My best year (year 2) I made on one month what I made in one year and that’s when I knew I had sone thing valuable. Thanks Ramit- this inspired me to dig deeper and keep on going. Don’t give up just because you had a dip or downturn. Pivot or add another service or product until it works again. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Just a few days away from kickstarting my side hustle! This video is just what I needed to remember that it's okay not to strive for perfection. Thanks for the breathing room, Ramit! 🌟 Juggling a full-time job, family, my new CSP, and a new business after bedtime is no joke, but here I go! I'm 38 but happy to be learning all these techniques now.

I love how Ramit and Noah Kagan (among others) are breaking down the barriers of entrepreneurship. Most of what you hear is 'If you're not willing to grind 24hrs a day and sacrifice everything you're not ready to build a business'. Hard work is important but business lies on a scale, from small to global. Thanks for the amazing free content.

its such bs how the others get down. Ramit is all facts

15:11 I started a business that I'm currently in right now around 11 years ago, I remember among my very first clients walked in and asked whether I could open an email address for her. I did and the client paid me 30c. It still gives me goosebumps thinking about it!

How come this type of info was not included in your book? You should really write a second book and just make it about entrepreneurship.

Loved listening to this! This is how I started my bow tie and accessories business. I decided to keep it as my side hustle. It allows me to use my passion of sewing, marketing, and connecting with people in person and online. Thanks Ramit!

Yay! You should look into it! I learned to sew in 7th grade. All the boys had to at my school! Anyway, you can do it!

I've had a business idea for months now and have definitely fallen into the trap of wanting to start big/complicated. These steps really help put that into perspective for me and I'm excited to start actually making progress!

Ramit, thanks, man. You really woke me up this morning. I've had an idea brewing for about two years now, an idea I truly believe will be successful, help people's lives, and it'll help people get through tough times, just like me, a 52 years old father of two, who used to financially support his family. However, in the last three years, I've faced numerous challenges and have been dealing with a very difficult time. Thanks to my wonderful wife for her unwavering support, she's been my rock through those dark days. Thank YOU for making me feel capable of making this idea happen. Today marks the beginning of a successful journey for me. I'll come back soon to share my progress at this same post. Thanks again, my friend!

Fantastic breakdown on bootstrapping a business! Focusing on the intersection of what you love, excel at, and can earn from, without waiting for perfection, sets a solid foundation for success and scalability. 👍

Thank you! I’m growing my business and this information is very helpful 😊

Thanks for the video. I’m working on my budgeting accessories business now. I am at the beginning stages but I’m excited to see where it takes me. This video was helpful.

Here are the powerful learnings from the video: Identify a profitable business idea people will pay for and that you can do. Validate your idea using the pay certainty technique. Focus on getting your first few customers. Be prepared to learn new skills and adapt as your business grows.

You done good man. Rock on

Thanks for the advice!

I have an idea, and get concerned about if it fails. So i also created ideas 2 and 3 that would use all of the same equipment, and sell to either crossover consumers, or seperate ones. Is that too deep? I grew up with a dad who always said no, my ideas wouldn't work, etc. ironically, it makes me really think through issues that might pop up, and always have contingency plans. Nothing like the word 'No!' to fire me up these days 😂

Are there grants for small business start ups?

Yes. Look up the small business administration for your state. They may have an office near you, or be able to recommend resources in your area.

I'm sure people will always buy houses. I'm interested in buying tax lien properties(pennies on the dollar) and flipping them in a few categories wholesale, fix & flip, and Retail market homes so it can leverage me into all aspects of R.E.

Buying tax lien properties for “pennys on the dollar” is EXTREMELY rare, and if was that easy to get a $600K house for $60K we’d all be living in them

I’m waiting for all the comments saying “RAMIT JUST SAID OLD PEOPLE ARE NOT STYLISH AND DONT GIVE A DAMN” 🤣😂. Love me some Ramit!

Thank you ! I’ll want at least 2 more source of income I’ll guess I have this 4 Step ! Please pray for everyone who is hustle as me and let’s get on the boat to sell 😂🎉❤🙏

That IS a lift. It's called the reverse hammer curl, and it's a waste of time

This video comes to me too late.

How about people like me we are average. I mean I am not perfect everything that I do is ok. I have nothing special I cannot be a coach or anything else. Even though I have years of experience in my work I don't feel confident enough to do things like others. I have tried, but nothing works.

​@@adnesavchen1549I hear you. I garden, and lots of people in my area grow the same things as me. I started to look outside the box, to see maybe what I could grow that was different. Can you do something similar with the baking for instance? If everyone makes blueberry muffins, could you try morning glory? The next year, people started copying what I grew. It was eye opening, that I was the one to come up with the new ideas.

😮 you've miss the reality check as always 😂

So.much fluff.
