It's going to be a big year. And January is when so many of us set goals for our business,

for all the things we want to achieve. And in a small business or a side hustle, even,

cash flow can make or break you. So if your money gets tied up, if your tools don't connect,

every decision feels unnecessarily stressful. Maybe it's time to switch to Intuit QuickBooks's

money management tools. Big shout out to QuickBooks,

our sponsor, start the year with confidence about your goals. Learn more at quickbooks.com

Oh yeah, what's up? Welcome back, friends. Welcome to Side Usul School, another episode here, Chris Gillibow, your host. And in fact, this episode is known, or it's within the segment known as Failure Friday. Failure Friday. I believe we can learn as much from failure as we can from success. It's with this principle in mind that I offer you a segment,

a bi-weekly segment. I think that means every other week, well, you know, every 14 days or so,

a collection of short stories about mistakes, missteps, disasters, and of course, failure.

You get to hear directly from a side usler who has struggled in some way. Maybe they have

made a mistake or maybe just some disaster has occurred. Something

has happened to them. And they're going to tell you a short story of something that went very wrong.

So these stories tend to vary a bit. But it's all about like what is the action, the consequence,

and then how does the person respond? How do they adapt and how do they go forward, you know, in some way?

So today's short story features Jay Perkins.

He operates a lifestyle fitness blog.

Previously, he founded a business called kettlebell kings.
