365 Ways to Improve Your Business

Rule #1 — Don’t call it a side hustle

I’m convinced that over half of business growth is limited by our vernacular. If you want to make more money, quit referring to your business as a side hustle.

Do you want to make a few extra bucks so that you can order Door Dash more often and buy Cyberpunk 2077? Fine. Work that hustle, baby.

Not me. I want to drive around in a beamer, knowing I have millions in my bank account. I want to travel the world, staying in luxury. Not bad for a guy that teaches meditation, right? Forget the idiosyncrasy and focus on what’s important: getting your head in the game.

No more blog mindset

You don’t have a blog; you have a landing page. You have a place online that maximizes SEO and grabs up email addresses faster than Matt Stonie can eat 203 Chips Ahoy cookies.

Your page, whatever you call it, should be soaking up email addresses like the world’s best tampon. Visualization for emphasis:

If you aren’t collecting email addresses, it’s because you call your site a blog. The reason you call it a blog is because you think you have a side hustle.

You’re an entrepreneur, act like it, damnit

I’m guessing you call it a side hustle because you aren’t starving. You have a job, you do what your boss tells you, and you’re happy with a bit of change on the side. Again, fine. You do you, boo.

If you aren’t eating, even the act of driving by the smell of Burger King feels like a giant bully is pounding you over the head, teasing you with a juicy porterhouse steak. You want that steak so severely that your inner pit bull comes out. You start howling at the moon in desperation. Someone or something is going to die if you don’t eat soon.

That’s the mindset of an entrepreneur. I just ate chicken flatbread for lunch. I’m well fed. My Burger King steak is that BMW and a fat bank account.

You have to have something flame-broiled in your life.

Otherwise, you’re stuck in blog land working your side hustle.

Move now, move daily

Are you eating your flame-broiled goals today? If not, get working until you are feasting.

“How can you achieve your 10 year plan in the next 6 months?” — Peter Thiel

First, have a goal. Writing it down is good. Visualizing it is good. But can you feel it?

Is your ass getting warmer from the heated leather seats?
Can you smell the jet fuel burning from your private plane?
Are you deafened by the crowd’s rumble, waiting for you to speak?

Why wait? Yes, of course, it is reasonable to plan out your ten and twenty-year plan. Yes, of course, you should train and prepare for the race.

But what if you just started running?

Sure, you may hack up a lung and ruin your knees (or bloody your nipples). No matter how far you get, you’ll be further than if you are stuck at the start.

This is NOT the thinking of a starving entrepreneur:

I can write that article tomorrow. I need my sleep.
The inquiry can wait. I need to recharge.
I’ll play this new game for a few minutes and then get to it.

You won’t grow unless you create daily

Do SOMETHING to keep the momentum going. Small daily habits have a compounding effect that will SMASH the results of great periodic efforts. See James Clear.

The idea of a business is to make money. If you aren’t creating new ways to make more money easier or faster, then you’re a rodent stuck in a wheel.

Tweak a web page to capture more email addresses (see above), make a new business partnership, create and market a new product. The ideas are limitless.

You are an idea-making machine.

Have confidence in yourself. I believe in you. Now believe in yourself.

If you don’t already have a notebook full of ideas to grow your business, you should write a list of ten ideas every day until you run out of paper.

“If coming up with ten ideas sounds too hard, then come up with twenty.” — James Altucher

365 ways to improve your business

If you came here to mindless scan through hundreds of ideas to improve your business, bad news, they aren’t here. Besides, you would probably forget all of them before you started to smash that clap button.

Do you know where you can find 365 ways to improve your business? Inside you. The more you draw them out, the more they’ll freely flow.

Pump that well. It may seem dry at first, but I guarantee you that the water will gush out forever if you keep pumping.

In summary

I believe in you. Develop a raw hunger for what you want and take action every day. Come up with new ideas, implement them, and don’t call it a side hustle, for God’s sake.
