Summary

 

Today Trudy is joined by Nick Nallback, founder of 9-5 to Freedom.  Nick has a day job AND he’s working on building a business of his own in the rest of the time he has available. 

By day Nick is a project manager who travels throughout the United States for his job.  Nick always thought about entrepreneurship and starting his own business was something that was out of reach, till he read the book Millionaire Fastlane by Millian Quinteros.  Nick realised anyone can become an entrepreneur.  It just takes a mindset shift. 

Nick uses his project management experience to help with systemising and building processes in his business.  And he uses those same skills to help people start podcasts. 

Nick’s business model for now is to share his journey into the world of entrepreneurship.  He originally started out by writing about his experiences in a blog, but didn’t take off like he thought it might. He then tried video content and would just freeze while talking to the camera. 

It wasn’t until he was listening to a podcast by Ed Mylett and heard the words “there is no right time to start” that he knew podcasting would be his thing. 

Trudy and Nick talk about – 

1. What Nick is working on his business – Website/SEO

3. Nick’s biggest challenge to date – Imposter Syndrome 
4. The role perfection and comparison play in Imposter Syndrome

6. Nick’s most important asset – Laptop and Adobe Suite (something he has played with since he was a kid)
7. What Nick has learned from YouTube videos and how they can teach you anything
8. A software Nick struggles with – Adobe Premiere 
9. Nick’s mentors and how they’ve helped him build his business – Pat Flynn (who motivates Nick) & his dad (always had the entrepreneurial mindset)
