🎙️ Listen for the Missing Piece


I’m a big fan of HubSpot’s blog, and while scrolling, I saw their 2024 Entrepreneurship Trends Report.

What I highlighted was that, according to their survey, 70% of entrepreneurs started their businesses because they wanted to change their career or lifestyle.

And even 45% of people became entrepreneurs because they wanted to be their own boss or escape the 9-5.

Interesting stats, right?

Indeed, almost everyone who reads this newsletter has that dream: being your own boss, building something meaningful, or creating a life of financial freedom.

You might also want to start a business, or maybe you’re trying but aren’t sure what to do, where to find good ideas or even what steps to take.

I think it’s completely normal to feel unsure about your next move, but you can still find helpful resources to guide you.

And one great learning tool that many people don’t think about is podcasts.

Yes, podcasts are so powerful because:

  • You can learn while doing other things like driving or exercising
  • You get to hear real stories from people who started just like you
  • They don’t cost anything to listen to

So if you’re looking for such knowledge, motivation, inspiration, or maybe learning from stories, podcasts can be a great companion.

But here’s something even more important: which ones are worth listening to?

Well, I did some research and found some amazing podcasts for entrepreneurs, including ones I’m already listening to.

​Check out the list here!

💡 Quick Tip: Take notes while listening to these podcasts! Use your phone’s Notes app to write down:

  • Important lessons you learn
  • Business ideas that come to mind
  • Tips you want to try later

This simple habit will help you remember the best advice and create your own guide for starting a business…

Cheers,

Minosh.

Nearly 80% of readers find my blog from Pinterest, not Google. And it’s not only Pinterest. The same thing is still happening across other platforms, too. Yes, more people now find things on social apps, on ChatGPT, and can even buy products directly there. You may have heard that a few weeks ago, OpenAI released “Buy it in ChatGPT.” When people ask shopping questions like “best running shoes under $100,” ChatGPT will soon show products from places like Etsy and Shopify.

I don’t know if it’s just me, but you know how leftover pizza tastes even better the next morning once it’s reheated just right? Could be just me, but I doubt it. Anyway, that’s what updating your old content feels like. It’s not about starting from scratch. It’s about polishing what already works. Most beginners keep chasing new ideas, thinking that’s how growth happens. But smart people? They revisit their old posts, improve them, and watch the results climb again and again. This is how...

Ever noticed how some newsletters just feel different? I still remember the first time someone hit reply to my weekly email and shared how useful and helpful it was for him. Suddenly, it wasn’t just me sending words out into nothing. Not just for me, newsletters have now become a real place for people to share and feel listened to. And now there’s a change happening.
