164: How To Find The Right Side Hustle Idea

164: How To Find The Right Side Hustle Idea

How do you know which side hustle idea is right for you?

Jason VanDevere, the author of Dream Driven, shares how to uncover an idea that actually fits your life, and how to test it before you sink time or money into it.

You’ll learn:

  • Why dreaming daily can reveal the ideas that truly stick
  • Jason’s “3 L’s” test (Longing, Lifting, Light) to know if an idea is right for you
  • How to validate that your idea solves a real problem
  • The best way to confirm demand: pre-selling vs. surveys
  • The role of mentors, and creative ways to find them — even if you’re starting from zero
  • Why setting boundaries around your work time makes you more productive

Get clear on a side hustle that lights a fire inside you, and not just one that looks good on paper.
