How do you learn to make candles if you’ve never done such a thing? Well, you do it just like the ancient Egyptians did: you log on to YouTube!

Your idea doesn’t need to be cutting edge or something no one has ever heard of before. You just need to stop loafing around.

Happy customers only come through great service.

The fact that no one was talking about such a thing meant that there was effectively zero competition.

He had hit the side hustle trifecta: passion, skill, and opportunity.

You’d better watch out, you’d better not pout…and you’d better get to work.

Following a trend is not normally a good business strategy. Once in a while, though, being in the right place at the right time – and with the right idea – can pay off.

Look for a niche that has low competition.
