šŸŽ™ļø 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!

šŸ’” 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.

You sit at your laptop, adjust the gaps, feel good, and press publish. Then someone checks it half asleep on a bus, holding on with one hand, with your whole content packed into a tiny phone screen. Most people do that now. Around 96% use the internet on their phones (Global Overview Report, DataReportal), even if they sometimes use a laptop or desktop (60%) too. Still, mobile is where most of the action happens. So if your content looks good only on your laptop but is hard to read on a...

Let me tell you a secret I wish I knew at the start: When you’re building something online, talking to ā€œeveryoneā€ is a waste. Like trying to light a fire with wet matches. No spark, no flame, just effort wasted. What I mean is, you put out content after content, post on almost every social media profile, create countless Pinterest pins, and feel like nobody’s caring. Most people do this, and it feels safe for a while, but the truth is it just gets you nowhere. And finally, yes, you just give...

The first time I tried using AI to write a meta description for one of my blog posts, I thought I could just drop in a prompt and be done there. The result? It sounded… way too robotic, like something nobody would want to read. Maybe you’ve felt the same. With all these tools around, it’s tempting to let AI do most of the work. But the truth is, and what almost everyone is not taking too seriously, is that you still have to be the boss. AI can write, but it can’t think for you. The reason I...
