🎥 DESCRIPTION
Nick Huber is the author of The Sweaty Startup: How to Get Rich Doing Boring Things. He is also a successful self-storage investor, founder and operator of several "sweaty startups," and the owner of several other businesses, almost exclusively in "boring" sectors. Not only has he built incredible wealth (financial and otherwise), but he has also done so while documenting his journey and showing others that entrepreneurship doesn't always look like creating an app and moving to Silicon Valley.
In this episode specifically, we talk about:
3:11 - Nick's best advice for achieving financial freedom fast
5:12 - Who was Nick Huber?
14:15 - Why Self Storage?
17:07 - How he raised $500,000?
21:33 - What is a sweaty startup?
28:00 - Why is cash flow so important?
31:16 - What is a VA and why work with them?
35:41 - The importance of good hiring
41:51 - How buying businesses can unlock real wealth
...and so much more!
