NOTES:
[00:28] Kevin: Today, we're joined by Luke Peters. What we're going to be talking about today is thinking of your side hustle/business as an asset[02:22] For some people that side hustle becomes, like Luke here, legitimate business in their way of life[02:32] Can you talk a little bit more about where you came from and what inspired you to get to where you are today?[02:40] Luke: My parents had always worked hard and always taught us to work hard (I got a good work ethic from my parents)[03:10] An inspiration is that once you have a business, you kind of realize that you have more stability in a sense (you're in charge of the risk versus being an employee)[03:22] And I enjoy the freedom, I'm not someone who likes to follow a lot of rules[03:48] Everyone can be in business, you don't have to be just one type of individual[04:14] Hiring good people is the best thing now. The sooner your business is making enough money to hire good people, good people are going to drive your business[04:27] Kevin: Do you find that in today's world it's a little easier to outsource tasks (ex: Fiverr)[04:55] Luke: For sure, in today's day and age you can do that, but you have to weigh both sides of it. You don't want to outsource things that are not making us money in the beginning[05:15] You hire locally for the high-level talent (where experience makes a difference) and you outsource the tedious things you don't need to do locally[05:30] Kevin: There's also the flipside to this and that is when you're starting out your side hustle, you're doing all those tasks and a lot of people say it's good that you do them in the beginning in order to learn it first. When you understand it better, you can outsource it better[06:27] Let's talk a little bit more about why would our listeners want to change their mindset of thinking about what they're doing as a side hustle into a legitimate business?[06:40] Luke: Let's first back up and look at employment. The days of people staying with the company their whole working lives is past us now and it is a very competitive world[08:01] When you work for someone else, first of all you need to be motivated (flexibility to make their own decisions)[09:23] Is there free time
