The world is shifting the 9-5 as we know it. AI is threatening job positions, there are layoffs, recessions are looming, and meanwhile, the price of everything is going up.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been saying this for years, but your life experience, your passion, and your skills might be your biggest safety net, and your best opportunity for income going forward.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not<\/em> profiting from what you love doing and what you already know, then you could be leaving a lot of potential on the table!<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been huge proponents of starting something of your own \u2014 something that\u2019s yours and can\u2019t be taken away from you.<\/p>\n

This is what we\u2019ve believed since the start of Goats On The Road \u2014 wayyyy back in 2012 (yeah we\u2019ve been around for awhile!)<\/p>\n

But, it\u2019s especially relevant these days.<\/p>\n

The truth is, a lot of what we used to rely on \u2014 stable jobs, steady income, predictable growth \u2014 feels pretty shaky right now.<\/p>\n

But, don\u2019t worry, it\u2019s not all doom and gloom<\/strong>! There\u2019s a way for you to overcome these challenges, which is what I\u2019ll get into in this article.<\/p>\n

Most people think they need more credentials<\/em> to start an online brand. And actually, this is where most people get stuck \u2014spending time on certifications, waiting until they have a bigger following, and taking more courses to learn more <\/em>about the topic that they already know!<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve come a long way since the first online brand we build back in 2012!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

But the truth is:<\/strong><\/p>\n

You\u2019re already sitting on something people would pay to learn \u2014 you just don\u2019t realize how valuable it is (yet)!<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve helped more than a thousand people start online brands around their passions, skills and experiences, based on what they already know<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Meaning, they didn\u2019t have to spend tons of time adding more to their plate\u2026we simply helped them unpack the gold that was already there.<\/p>\n

Your niche. Your amazing idea. Your next move\u2026it\u2019s found inside your skills, your experiences, and your passions.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re thinking about creating something of your own (as a side hustle, or as a full-time gig), and are looking to turn your expertise into profit, this is where to start.<\/p>\n

The 3 Buckets: Start With What You Already Have<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re unsure about what niche to pick<\/a> or what kind of business to start, here\u2019s the framework we\u2019ve personally used to come up with our profitable ideas over the years, and it\u2019s what we teach our clients as well.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s built on 3 \u2018buckets\u2019 that we all have access to \u2014 no matter your background, job title, or level of experience. <\/p>\n

Note: we go deeper into this and really help you narrow down your idea in our Niche Clarity Program<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Bucket #1:<\/strong> Skills & Knowledge<\/span><\/h2>\n

This is the knowledge you\u2019ve accumulated over the years. Skills you\u2019ve learned through your career, school, certifications, training, self-education\u2026or even just trial and error. <\/p>\n

You might not think of it as special, because it comes naturally to you now. But to someone else, it\u2019s exactly what they need help with. <\/p>\n
