And during this conversation, I'm going to pass you a box at random.

And your job is to tell me what kind of business you would start with that amount of money.

Sounds good.

Let's do this.

Many of us struggle financially, and they see a side hustle as a solution to that.

Like for me, growing up kind of poor, business allowed me to take hold of my life and make it what I wanted it to be.

And it started when I was nine years old and wanting a red Schwinn bicycle.

My friends had a bicycle, my neighbors had a bicycle, and my parents didn't have money for it.

But I lived across the street from a golf course, and these golf balls would fly in my yard.

And I would go to my neighbor's yard and go across the street, dig through the ditches, and I'd pull out all these golf balls.

And I started selling them.

That was my first business.

That taught me that business is approachable.

And we all have ideas, but we usually don't do anything about it.

Why?

I think number one, they're afraid of what people think.

Number two is they don't have the tools or they're not connecting the tools with the ideas.

If we can get over those, the world is our oyster at that point.

I have $1,000.

What side hustle do you start?
