Summary

If you’ve ever thought of starting a business or taking an existing one to the next level, how many times have you caught yourself saying, “I’m not ready yet,” or “I just don’t have enough time/money to make it happen”? There are countless people out there who’ve let their dreams slip away without even dipping their toes in to try.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Noah Kagan. Noah is the CEO of the $80 million dollar company, AppSumo and author of the new book, Million Dollar Weekend.

He’s launched seven multimillion-dollar businesses and was even a part of the early teams at Facebook and Mint. And he’s here to give a crash course on how to start a million-dollar business in a single weekend. Literally.

You’ll learn what it takes to make that daunting first step that trips up so many people. Noah even breaks down how to test drive your dream in 48 hours to see if it can be profitable and then maps out how to turn that ambitious idea into a million-dollar venture.

But this isn’t just about starting a business or launching a side hustle. It’s about creating the life you always wanted, free from the shackles of “what ifs” and regrets. So, whatever your dream is, this is an episode that could change everything for you.
