The Side Hustle Show - Full Episodes - How Long Does It Actually Take to Hit 6-Figures? (New Solopreneur Report)

What does it actually take to build a $250,000 a year independent income stream, and how long will it really take you to get there? Adriana Tica is a self-described reluctant entrepreneur who now runs two digital marketing and copywriting agencies, works as a strategic marketing consultant, and publishes the Strategic AF newsletter. She put hard data behind questions most solopreneurs quietly wonder about with her research report, the State of Solopreneurship. We talked about what the report actually found — from how long it takes to hit six figures, to why email still beats everything else, to the lead magnet and newsletter growth tactics working best right now.
