🎙️ 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.

Okay, you probably saw this already, right? That $3.99 lavender tote bag from Trader Joe’s went viral on TikTok and turned into a whole thing. People were lining up, stores had to set limits, and next thing you know, resale listings were popping up everywhere, like eBay, Etsy, you name it. So yeah, it looked like just a simple product, but that was not the real story. The thing is, the bag did not blow up just because it was limited. It blew up because people already cared. That is the part...

It was 2009, and that’s when Chrome launched. Google had many things they could’ve shown: tabs, security tools, settings, and all the other stuff it had. But instead, it led with one simple idea: speed. “The Fast Browser.” And that worked. They used this line over and over in different ads. It’s strong. But stop for a second and think about why all those features were not mentioned by Google. That reminded me of something a lot of business owners do by accident. They try to make their offer...

Cooking a full meal in 5 minutes used to sound impossible. Now that’s basically what AI is doing for content. Business Insider explained that companies like Mondelēz can now turn an idea into a short social video in under five minutes, Coca-Cola uses AI in campaign idea generation, and Svedka even used it in a Super Bowl ad. And when it comes to the bigger picture, agencies are even testing ad ideas with synthetic focus groups before spending money on production. In other words, what that...
