128: How to Be a Trustee for the Untrustworthy | Feedback Friday

Side Hustles

Jason DeFillippo shares his experience of transitioning from a startup to a corporate job, highlighting the challenges of maintaining motivation for a side hustle. He emphasizes the importance of not quitting a stable job unless the side hustle is ready to scale, advising against the romanticized notion of going all-in without a safety net 1. Jordan Harbinger adds that motivation should stem from genuine passion rather than financial necessity, warning that quitting a job prematurely can lead to stress and burnout 2.

The reason you're not succeeding more with your side hustle or your art project, it's not because you don't need the money because of your day job. It's because you aren't motivated to do it.

--- Jordan Harbinger

They both agree that a side hustle should be pursued out of love for the work, not just as a means to escape a day job.

   

Unhealthy Patterns

Jordan Harbinger discusses the importance of recognizing and breaking unhealthy relationship patterns. He advises listeners to take ownership of their choices and understand the subconscious reasons behind their attraction to certain types of partners 3. Harbinger suggests that understanding these patterns can lead to healthier relationships and personal growth.

Once you find the reason that you're going after this type of person, whether it's self-worth issues or some other pattern, then you can start to break these unhealthy patterns.

--- Jordan Harbinger

He also addresses the feeling of restlessness in successful individuals, suggesting that mentoring and volunteering can provide a sense of purpose and fulfillment beyond personal achievements 4.
