Imagine someone comes to you with this pitch: hey, I’ve got a great business idea. It’s an underserved market, a product that people enjoy, and a high profit margin. We could make a lot of money here. You think, awesome, what kind of app is this? Or even, what industry is this in? Personal finance? Diet or weight loss? These are industries where there can be some real money. And your friend is like, no, here’s the secret – and don’t tell everyone – I don’t want someone to steal my idea. Here’s how we’re going to get rich: bouncy castles. Adult bouncy castles. Imagine it on Shark Tank… “I’m seeking half a million in exchange for 10% bouncy castle ownership and one free air pump.” Neither of these scenarios seem fairly likely, right? Well, one guy in Cedar Park, TX decided to follow his bouncy passion to the bank in the world of adult playhouse rentals. And he does it without inventory – no bounce in his life. And I gave it away in the headline, but I know you’re doing to listen to the rest of the story anyway, because you’re thinking “How in the world?” Listen to today’s episode to learn more… SEE ALSO: Catholic Designer Creates Stylish Apparel Line: What shall it profit a man to gain the whole world but not sell any t-shirts?

Notes from Chris Episode 2943 Today, we’re hearing from Rebecca, who’s planning to start a blog as her side hustle. She’s wondering whether it’s better to focus on a specific niche or appeal to a wider audience to grow faster. It’s a common dilemma for bloggers and content creators, so we’ll explore how to make the right choice based on her goals, and why starting with a clear, specific focus is often the best way to stand out. “Hi Chris, this is Rebecca Nelson, a longtime listener. I’m thinking about starting a blog, and I keep hearing that the more niche your topic, the faster you can grow. But then I see these broader blogs with tons of topics and huge audiences, and I wonder if I should aim for that instead. What’s the best way to start if my goal is to grow an audience quickly and eventually monetize? Should I go niche, or is there a way to balance that with appealing to a wider audience?” Listen to today’s episode to learn more… SEE ALSO: Catholic Designer Creates Stylish Apparel Line: What shall it profit a man to gain the whole world but not sell any t-shirts?

How did they get to that point? Not their first $100,000—that’s cool, but it would probably be a long story. But what about their first $1,000—how did they make that happen, what did it feel like, and what did they learn? Let’s hear today’s story. I’ll be back at the end to wrap us up.

#block-35ccb6c3 h2 { width: 401px; } What It’s About Is this mobile app idea a good fit? Notes from Chris Episode 2940 We love hearing from creative entrepreneurs who’ve turned hobbies into income streams, and today’s question comes from Jessica, a full-time nurse in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Jessica started making jewelry as a fun side project and was thrilled when a local shop asked to carry her pieces. However, the shop takes a 40% commission, and as Jessica’s business grows, she’s realizing that direct sales are often more profitable. She’s unsure if she should keep selling in the shop, negotiate the terms, or focus entirely on other channels. Let’s unpack the options and help Jessica decide what’s best for her business. “Hey there! I’m Jessica, a full-time nurse based out of Ann Arbor, Michigan. I started making jewelry for fun about six months ago, and was pleasantly surprised when a local shop owner asked to sell my jewelry in her store. She takes 40% of the sale cost, and as I have progressed in my business, I am starting to realize I make better sales outside of the shop and am frustrated by the large percent taken out. I like the store and shop there myself, and don’t want my relationship with the owner or employees to become awkward. Should I keep selling my jewelry there? If so, should I try to negotiate, even though that is the standard rate of commission they take out for all artists? Or do you think I should just not worry about it?” Listen to today’s episode to learn more… SEE ALSO: Catholic Designer Creates Stylish Apparel Line: What shall it profit a man to gain the whole world but not sell any t-shirts?
