Hey everyone! Just over a week ago, at the Raising Generational Wealth virtual summit, I shared the 7-step road map I followed to build a remote business and leave the 9-5. I know some of you attended the summit and watched my presentation. (Thank you!!) I'm planning to break the video up and create a free 6- or 7-day email course for new subscribers, but I wanted anyone interested to have a chance to watch it as well. Here's a link to the video, or you can click on the image below. By the way, this is the first video I've ever recorded, but I will be producing a lot more video content going forward. Please feel free to reply to this email and share any feedback you have. I'd love to hear your thoughts! - Colin |

Happy Tuesday! While doing my once-per-month scroll-through of Threads this week, I was reminded why you should never look to strangers for advice on social media. (If you're unfamiliar with Threads, it's Facebook's parent Meta's version of Twitter). As I scrolled through my feed, I came across the following "Thread": "I NEED MULTIPLE STREAMS OF INCOME. What's your best side hustle?" Over 150 replies followed their question. I scrolled through about 20 or 30, stopped, and shook my head....
Step# 2 in my "Roadmap to Escape the 9-5" is to start a side hustle or business that can eventually replace the income from your day job. However, most people struggle to come up with a side hustle idea. There are likely a few reasons for this: They're focused on the wrong thing (money) - never chase the money They lack confidence in their abilities They're afraid to start Indecisive/ can't think of a 'good' business idea Regardless of the reason, if you're struggling to find the right side...
