Today's Guests
Jake Lang
Jake is currently working on his 10th online business,
He describes himself as being addicted to finding niche business ideas and starting new online businesses. And he now helps others start their own online business through coaching, books, and membership. He has published two books on the topics in the past two years including the book Step One and the book Use Your Job to Quit Your Job
Some of the businesses I've started include a business selling online courses in the insurance industry (my best-performing business), a dog blog about the Pomsky dog breed which I sold in 2021, an educational website about agile methodologies and the PMI ACP certification, and my newest niche website about pellet stoves. (Among others that have started and flopped).
With my portfolio of websites, I replaced the income from my day job and took on entrepreneurship full-time in 2021.
