Overcoming Setbacks When Launching a New Business

Learning from Vinayak's journey of building a sustainable side hustle

In today’s Live, I got the chance to interview Vinayak. He has had experience building out multiple side hustles before deciding to move to Substack for his latest one.

We covered a lot of topics of what it takes in order to build something sustainable, especially while holding a full-time job.

  1. Create a system that will keep you consistent on the hard days. Vinayak does this by batching all of his content on weekends.

  2. Do not focus on growth at all costs or else you will burn out. The growth will eventually come if you focus on impact.

  3. Creating a community and building relationships is the most important part of finding your first clients in 2026.

Check out the rest of the recording above to learn more about what we discussed, including my own personal journey of dealing with the setbacks of my first failed business.

Thank you Florence Acosta, Mick, and many others for tuning into my live video with Vinayak Ramesh! Join me for my next live video in the app.
