Tara's key points from the webinar

• Many people give up on their side hustle right before they reach success due to a perceived lack of time or investment, when there may be other underlying issues

• Using AI tools and technologies may cost more money upfront but can save time in the long run

• Beware of "insta phonies" who claim overnight success. The reality behind their success may not be as quick and easy as they make it seem

• Selling products with a personal touch can be effective in marketing

• Understanding how fast you want your side hustle to grow and whether you're willing to invest money upfront is crucial for success

• Building a strong brand may take between five and 24 touchpoints before a person actually buys from you

• Everyone's business idea is unique. Even if it seems similar to others, the way you execute your idea sets you apart
