Lift Off - Get Your Side Business Off The Ground

I used to exhaust myself on my side business

I was grinding it out early morning, updating my website before I headed out to my 9-5 that was really 8-7. Get home, eat and 8pm I'm back in my home office (my couch + laptop) knocking out more work for a couple hours. Weekends were all day sessions try to get as much done as I can.

It's a hustle, a grind, exciting and challenging. And exhausting.

Wait A Minute...

There had to be a better way. And that's when it dawned on me - I spend all day at a tech company putting out amazing products. In fact I spent 15 years putting out apps, websites, and physical products that have done amazingly well. And each company, though different, used very similar tools, techniques, and approaches.

So I had this amazing idea - what if I used the same approach tech companies use and applied it to my side business. Not just the website, but every aspect - the site, the workbook, the social media strategy, the marketing - everything.

Like PB +J

And turns out, it worked wonders. I was able to really get Snowball up and running and make sales and improve at rapid pace. I hit my stride, quit my job, and double downed.

I coached a few people on the techniques as well they saw instant improvement.

And that's what this course will teach you - everything I learned from tech companies like Boeing, Facebook, Google and so many more - from principles and methods, to how to structure your work - put in a way you can apply it to your side business to get it off the ground.

What Will I Learn?

If you'll learn first hand the the ways of working, systems, and process many tech companies use to be super efficient only geared and reworked to be applied to those working on a side business.

This system will show you:

• The principles and ways of working tech companies and startups use to be successful and how to apply them to your side business

• The methods startups use to organize and break down their work for maximum efficiency and how you can apply the same methods.

• The concept of the MVP and why virtually every startup embraces is and how you can embrace it as well.

• How to utilize the MVP concept to get your product out quicker without sacrificing quality.

• The importance of running your work in the form of Sprints - another technique every tech company deploys to manage their work.

• A smart way of planning and structuring your work to maximize efficiency and make the best decisions possible

• A structure you can apply to organizing your work to eliminate the overwhelm feeling.

• How to reframe failure and setbacks as a positive and actually benefit from them

• How to apply all the tools and techniques.

So Will I Get Rich Quick or...?

This isn't a silver bullet or a make money fast formula. I'm not guaranteeing you will become a millionaire or ear six figures by next week. If there was a simple formula you can follow to make a ton of money instantly everyone would be doing it. Spoiler alert - there isn't.

There are approaches you can take to increase your odds of success and to work as efficient and effectively as you can. This is what this is. And if you have a side business you know valuable your time is. It'll help you approach your work with the right mindset and add structure and process to your side business to mitigate risk and increase the probability of success.

When I applied these methods to my company I saw an instant improvement, but I still had to put in the work. It's just everything started working much smoother and I saw so much progress in a short amount of time.

So What's Covered?

There's a number of sections covered.

• Key principles and ways of working
  • Every tech company I worked for principles and ways of working to guide their work. I cover the 4 common ones that every successful company utilized.
• How To Think in Terms of MVP's
  • Most people think your product has to be perfect - it doesn't and most tech companies put out really basic products called an MVP. I cover it all in the MVP section.
• How To Run Your Business using Sprints
  • Sprints are a common technique used in the tech world. I break it down along with the benefits and core components.
• How To Structure you work
  • There's two ways to go about this and I cover them both. One way to cover more big picture work (bigger projects covering several weeks toseveral months). And another to cover short term work (how to structure a week or 2 worth of work).
  • I use an example of getting a website up and running - a concept most people running a side business will need to do but the principles and lessons can be applied to any part of your business.
• How To Use The PRO Principles
  • Prioritize, Reduce, Organize - I cover how to implement these throughout your process.
