Oh hey there, what's up? This is Chris Gullipop, want to welcome you to something special.

0:13.8

We are continuing with extended cuts. This is a long form episode focused on a specific

0:18.2

topic. So a bit different from the daily episode, which of course we still have today,

0:22.9

because it is a day. Those come out seven days a week. But in this extended episode, I want

0:27.5

to talk to you about something very practical. It's all about how to start a service business

0:31.4

in less than a week. That is correct less than a week. And I'm going to issue a challenge

0:35.0

to some of our listeners who haven't stepped forward yet. Okay, so I know people are in

1:14.4

you how to pick a topic that you have knowledge in or a skill you already have and then help

1:19.5

you extract a specific idea from that topic, turn that idea into an offer, and finally

1:23.9

1:27.2

today. So how does that sound to you? Now listen, if you're new or also because it's been

1:31.4
