    MJ Warned Me (or, I had to learn the hard way)

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I agree with the fact that having an email list would have made this be less of a halt to the project, and more of an temporary inconvenience. The importance of capturing email addresses so that I can "own" my audience's attention has been branded on my brain now. Up to now, their attention...

    MJ Warned Me (or, I had to learn the hard way)

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I am very fortunate in that I never paid a penny for ads. And my channels / content are not branded for that company. I made unrelated (and mostly evergreen) content for entertainment of my audience, and I used / spoke about the products organically through the videos. That makes it slightly...

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I've read Millionaire Fastlane and Unscripted, and throughout both books MJ was pretty clear about the need to take into consideration the need to be in control of your moneymaking vehicle, and to be sure that there is some level of barrier to entry for what you're pursuing.

    The Escape Number Problem

    QUESTION
