Side Hustle Show 154, how to start a consulting business, your first $5,000.

Welcome to the Side Hustle Show, where aspiring part-time entrepreneurs learn how to turn their

side hustle dreams into reality.

Because your 9-to-5 may make you a living, but your 5-9 makes you alive.

And now your host, Nick Loper.

What's happening?

Welcome to Side Hustle Show, Nick Loper here.

If your series about building job-free income streams,

you are in the right place.

Today's show is all about what I believe is one of the fastest side hustles to get started,

and that's a consulting business. Actually, as you'll hear hear it begins almost as a highly specialized

freelance service but evolves into a high-value consultancy following the path that

my guest lays out. Now today I'm joined by Jonathan Stark who's a former side hustler turned full-time

entrepreneur. His primary business is consulting on mobile web development projects at

Jonathan Stark.com but he recently took a side hustle in which he helps newer

consultants get their business off the ground from zero to five thousand dollars a month.

You can learn more about that business at expensive problem.com. I love that domain because as you'll see,

finding an expensive problem that you can solve is at the heart of any successful freelance

or consulting side also.

And today, Jonathan is going to walk us down the path he shares with his students to come

up with expensive problem service ideas, validate them, land your first clients and testimonials, and ultimately scale up that business

so you're selling your brain and not your hands. Sound good? Now all the notes and links for this episode are at
