All right, all right. Welcome to a new episode of Side Ussel School.

Welcome as well to a brand new segment. A brand new segment. We're going to call it Weekend Workshop.

week. And of course, it's all free. You can access a notes page that's going to be built out over the

course of the year at sidestool school.com slash workshop. And today's topic is learning to spot

that ideas are everywhere. You can learn to develop your power of observation to identify ideas.

We'll have a whole episode on that next week. But you also want to identify ideas with

the highest chances of success. And let's just jump in here. There's no listener audio for these

segments. We'll have a short ad break, but I want to make sure you understand the concept of where

we're going first. So today's core concept, not all side hustle ideas are created equal. Again,

ideas are everywhere, but some ideas
