I met a friend after a long time recently. 

his recent new goal: Earn an additional income, of 25-30K every month, by starting a side-business

his recent new motivation: Quit his job after a few months, and go full-time into the business

And his recent new fear: “I just don’t know where and how to start”

I think we’ve all been there.

So if you are just starting out or don’t know where to start, let me save you 1000 hours of time, mistakes to avoid, online scams to be aware of, and how exactly to get started amidst all the social media noise. 

Btw — if you want to read one of my personal stories, here is how I earned 70K in under 5 days

At a high-level, here are the 3 steps you need to earn more money

Step 1: Find few business ideas

Step 2: Test and Validate, and Pick 1

Step 3: Get your first 1-3 paying clients

The best thing is there are no fancy bells and whistles, no overwhelming startup funding drama, and no need to think about renting office space on day 1.

You get started by doing those 3 steps, and all 3 could be achieved by sitting in your home on your laptop by putting in few hours per week.

The only caveat is that it’s not going to be easy, you WILL have to put in the work, there are just no shortcuts. 

So, the first step for you is to find few business ideas.
