Dan and Ian have heard many variations of the same question over the years: "I want to be an entrepreneur, but how do I get started?"
Today's guest has some really practical insight into what it means to take the leap into creating your own business.
Dom Wells began, as many do, building affiliate marketing sites.
He's since gone on to establish several successful spin-off businesses from what was effectively a side hustle, all while still working a full-time job teaching English in Taipei.
This week, Dom joins us to share tips for getting started on the long journey of entrepreneurship, how to build a skillset and a network, and the mistakes that he made along the way.
