Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Brian Page, an entrepreneur, author, online educator, and passive income pioneer based in Mount Pleasant, SC, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
My customers are burnt-out entrepreneurs, 9-5ers, and anyone wanting to make an income passively to start living with TRUE WEALTH: Income + Time + Choice.
Tell us about yourself
I am an author, speaker, and passive income expert. I share what it takes for anyone, regardless of position or industry, to work less, earn more and live free on my latest book, "Don't Start s Side Hustle!." In this book, I help readers navigate their journey to becoming a "Passivepreneur" – a new wave of entrepreneurs who are able to create "passive" income revenue streams without having to take on multiple side jobs. Don't trade your 40-hour workweek for an 80-hour-a-week side hustle. The promise of entrepreneurship is to create a lifestyle of freedom - but the pursuit often leads to a time-bankrupt life. If you're an overworked employee who's done with the 9-to-5, a serial entrepreneur who has yet to realize the American dream, or a burned outside hustle owner who's tired of the grind, this book was written for you!
I realized early on that a "J-O-B" was something I didn't want. I knew I wanted to work hard, but I also wanted to work for myself. I made it my mission to figure out a way to make money while living the life I wanted to live. Over the last 20 years, I have worked with such heavyweights as Grant Cardone, Tai Lopez, and Kevin Harington, and is best known as the creator of the BNB Formula, the world's #1 bestselling Airbnb™ coaching program with over 25,000 students in 47 countries. Having built an empire of passive income that allows me the freedom that most people crave, I am dedicated to sharing the secrets to my success so others can follow in my footsteps.
In this title, I provide context on why it's possible to own your own time and walk readers through how to pivot out of a traditional job, be prepared to make the change, create a plan for yourself and make it happen. I guide readers step-by-step through 38 bitesize chapters, teaching them how to ditch the rat race and enjoy the "Passivepreneur" lifestyle. In "Don't Start a Side Hustle," you will learn how to:
- Trade working your ass off in exchange for hard-working assets.
- Create cash flow from products, services, and properties you don't own.
- Become an "income producer" instead of an "income earner."
- Live a lifestyle of freedom by building a passive income empire.
- Follow in my footsteps as I quit my job and earned a 7 figure automated income - in just 47 days.
I have been unemployed for years. While traveling the world and spending tons of time with my family, I have been building stream after stream of passive income, allowing me to own every moment of my life. Even through the 2008 market crisis and COVID-19, I have been able to build my passive income empire by creating, controlling, and owning assets that do the work for me. My number one goal is for you to have a life where you have more time. More money. And most importantly, freedom.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment as a business owner is seeing my students live their dream and experience life more.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
One of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner is managing your time. I recommend for individuals struggling with this to plan out their day hour by hour and stick to that plan no matter what it takes. A work-life balance will be huge to experiencing the fruit of your labor.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Celebrate all of your successes, no matter how small.
- Pick one business, and stick with it until it hits the level of success you know it can achieve.
- Enjoy the journey of your entrepreneurship! Be patient with the process.
