Hey it’s Opossum here! Welcome to my free monthly Q/A Roundup. Today’s post is on some of the best questions in the last month. Each week I write about a new topic or analyze a new digital business. If you’re not a subscriber, here’s what you missed this month:
Great article. Agree that taking a stable job with less stress and wfh is great to combine with side biz, compared to more salary and more stress. I myself recently jumped of the corporate law rat race to make 120k working 9-3 (partly from home) inhouse.
Been using Extra time for side biz, since Christmas, but must confess it has been hard when no one is really shouting and asking for deliverables. Easy to just put it off and instead go out or do other things. Any tips? Been really trying to treat it like a real business and real job. So far my niche site is up and Structure and first silo of articles starting to come along. Thinking of outsourcing more to Get the ball moving.
This is where self motivation comes in. Nobody can do that for you and some people aren't self motivated. You must want your side business to succeed more than you want the other stuff.
If the fear of never being rich doesn't do it. If the fear of being laid off doesn't do it. If the thought of working for someone else that doesn't really care about whether you starve for 40 years doesn't do it. Nothing I can say will do it. There has to be a fire that self motivates you to want it more than you want to do other things.

Agree. Thanks. Means alot. Anything «impressive» I have done has come from unreasonable internal selv motivation.
