This is a great interview. I lost a job I had for 8 years in April 2023, took a break, traveled to South East Asia for two months, and came home in December to find out my dad had cancer. Enter 2024, finally found a job, started the end of Jan, in a cubicle all day after spending 3 years working fully remote. Then my dad died on Feb 3rd. Im 53, he would have been 70 April. As I was going to work this morning, while at work and ever since I left work, I'm telling myself one thing over and over. I no longer want to spend the rest of my life chained to a desk. I no longer want to subject myself or need someone's permission to live the way I want. And then I find this podcast tonight. I want time and location freedom. Short term I want to make $100k with a side hustle within the next 18 months so I can quit and continue building towards $ 10k - $100k per month. Thanks for the motivation!
Sorry for your loss... I'm glad you're keen on the positive side of life, and making the most of what you have to get what you want out of life. #Onwards #KeepWinning
Really enjoyed listening to Dickie's back story here. I was one of his early customers when they launched Ship30. By that point I had spent nearly $7k on courses to try and move away from my full-time job in tech, but kept failing to launch. Today I'm running a six-figure media and education biz in the design space with nearly 1M followers, and I genuinely owe it to Dickie and Nicolas. Great episode.
Would you say getting myself into the next Cohort of Ship30 will help me along in what I am chasing as mentioned above? I know they have Premium Ghostwriting Acad as well but I'm not sure I want to come out of pocket like that. Congrats on your success thus far!
Loved the peek behind the curtain on how Dickie got started breaking it down into realistic, practical steps that anyone can follow. INSPIRING episode. THANK YOU!!
I’m over 40 under 60, my goal is online to make 10k to 100k a month within 24 months. I need freedom, tired of asking for permission, and need to be more involved with my family
The value I get from your podcast is unreal. I appreciate you being authentic while doing what you believe adding to the universe. Idk how you time these posting when you do, but as soon as I get to work you’ve already posted less than an hour ago….This podcast is my morning coffee💯
I love to hear this! Starting out this was exactly my goal, at the beginning of the each week ambitious people could listen and receive value from it Thank you🙏🏾
Someday I'm going to figure out how to build something valuable and all my decades of woe and misfortune will serve as fascinating conversation! Or i'll just die trying. I don't know what else to do with myself anyhow!
@@VirtualSGat least you got plenty of dirt and mud to dig in. 😂. And yeah I am right there also. At the point of why the hell not go for it. Because the alternatives are boring and seems like such a soulless drudge anyway. This one also appeals to me and gives my life meaning. It is important to find a model and a mode of operation that one can see going for a long time, though. Not just sign up for the "time and location freedom and be my own boss". Some of the online business models would give me that, but still feel like a drudge and more or less another job.
@@DonDealio I haven't found model, nor mode of operation. I just like to do creative things... it's only natural to crave an audience... to convince myself that I deserve success. Time will tell. The train keeps rolling, no matter.
@@VirtualSG Listen to Dickie & Cole, and to Dan Koe and to Justin Welsh - the combination of these should give you a pretty good idea how to get going. If you are OK with something that you build at low budget and taking the time for organic growth.
keep spreading this message! you don't have to quit your job to make your side hustle your full-time. you can do both at the same time, it won't be easy but if you want it bad enough anything is possible.
Don't quit until your side hustle brings in money which is sufficient for you/family. And that money comes in with work and sacrifice. Remember, your failure was not due to lack of know-how; but lack of sacrifice. Success requires sacrifice - your time, comfort, some money.
"I wanna take the show to the next lvl, better production, it's even better 'guests' " hhhhh, I find current guests so good, I don't know what does "better" mean 🤷♂
This episode absolutely has blown me away. I have my came across an episode that resonated so hard with me. I'm so glad I came across this episode and I can't wait for future ones to come. Awesome job!
Great talk. The host is also angling questions in a good way, helping the guest bring many aspects out. I will keep an eye on it. (Also looking forward to see the talk with Nick Cole coming). Is there a link to this/these tweets from Dickie that they are referring to?
First time hearing of Dickie Around the 35 min mark that’s a brilliant idea. I’m always watching a RU-vid video knowing it could’ve been condensed. This is a clear sign that what I was thinking works. I love learning but may as well optimize the info.
I see what you're trying to do with the table. I recommend it be more square or round. The rectangle seems a waste of space to me, but if it works it works.
*This was beyond awesome! A friend sent me the link to **#THIS** and I must say, I totally love the valuable information shared! The two of you have definitely shifted my MINDSET!!!* 🎬
I have seen a few videos like this now. It seems that these people are always coming from white collar jobs. I already get up at 330am. I'm not getting up earlier man. Would be nice to find someone that left a blue collar job to start their own thing that wasn't another blue collar job. I'm trying to break out as a photographer but it is hard to do at the end of the day. Doesn't mean I won't make it but I sure would like to hear someone else's story.
I also have to say that the lessons in here are still amazing and worth a ton. I was curious if writing is still valuable now with all the advancement in AI? It's surprising you didn't ask that question.
Take random photos and sell them on photo resale sites. Set a goal of how many photos you'll take weekly. Use your cell phone to upload a specified number of pics daily from an online drive. The key is to start somewhere and use your time wisely. You have nothing to lose by trying.
Great interview, thanks for putting this out there! Something happened to the audio at 49:25 or so it seems. Besides that, enjoyed everything about it. Keep up the good work!
Hello Calum , I am fascinated by. The basic yet essential questions you asked Dickie..... Yet ..I am very curious to know what were you writing on your note pad the whole conversation......how do you take notes off of an interview .????
I really enjoyed this interview. I had never seen these two gentlemen before. How do I find Dickie elsewhere? I may be asking prematurely as I am only half way through video. But I am hoping to find more on him now.
Nobody dreams of working for blackrock. Here’s my tips after making an abundance of money. Work for yourself. 1. Money don’t make you happy. 2. Family and friends are more important. 3. Stay focused on you first. 4. Find what you are good at. 5. Keep learning new skill sets since things are changing at a rapid rate. 6. Stop eating junk processed foods. 7. Learn how to speak in a positive way. 8. Treat people with kindness. 9. Learn the tax code and how it works. 10. Invest your money

Whenever I hear people say, “I just wrote for an hour a day to practice and that’s how I got started…” what did you write? Like topic examples? Did you write specific types of things? Or just randomly like a journal entry? Asking because I want to write and make money by doing it I just don’t know how to get started, like with what I guess.
This wasn’t me being negative in any way… it was genuine curiosity. Many “courses” aren’t courses but all the gatekept info behind a paywall. So I was just, out of my OWN curiosity, asking deeper questions. But thanks anyway…. 👍🏼
I was thinking the same thing. Table maybe needs to be wider...fantastic job with the guests, by the way. This is only my second time watching one of your episodes and your guests are exactly who I need to hear from 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Wish you would choose your words more carefully, Calum. There will be no future guest "better" than this guy or worse than any other. You cant have better or worse guests; they're all just great people each with something inspiring and unique to contribute to you, firstly, and then the viewer. A Bigger subscriber count and operational platform will not help you find any guest "better" than Dickie bro.
If all you put in for study is a pumber that comes off on a real job, it means school is just a lie. For that reason one must be resilient enough to start your hassle
Damn. I subscribed when you was at 4k. I feel a bit greedy seeing you grow. Internet Logic: “Stay as my precious little secret, I don’t want you to succeed” 😂😂 💀
Content is good but hard to watch. All I hear is or see is a copy cat of " The Diary Of A CEO ". Even how the approach is with talking. Sounds almost identical to how Steven Bartlett talks. At least put your own spin on it. Not all hate though, Some good people on these podcasts. Subscribing, can't wait to see how you turn it into your own flavor over time as you gain more traction.
Onlything you’re missing is saying “82% of our viewers aren’t subscribed yet” channel and heart felt moment feel to much like diaryofaceo. But non the less you gained a sub from me. Quality work
Love that you got to do this interview at the Shipyard Calum. I'm in Cole and Dickie's Premium Ghostwriting Academy, so it was great to listen to this episode!
Since discovering your podcast I have gotten valuable information from your interviews. Thank you and I will subscribe one I get my first check from my new job.
I’m working on putting out my content continuously @jsrussell56. I can’t wait until my writing reaches the audience who it will serve and make such an impact that it make a dynamic change.
This podcast so enlightening, and I am not even finish it yet. Holy F***. I am an AI startup founder who wrote one international book on AI product strategy, and I could not be more motivated to write again!.... Thanks a lot, Calum and Dickie!
