In episode 33 of The Side Hustle Show, I’m joined by Virginia Roberts from TheHeartographer.com. Virginia shares an awesome story of side hustle success, turning a personal skill into a hobby, then into a part-time coaching business, eventually quitting her job to be a full-time entrepreneur.

The conversation revolves around Virginia’s coaching business, but there are a ton of parallels that can apply to really any niche coaching business. This is a good one.

Big shout-out to Kai Davis from Episode 4 for the introduction.

  1. Hey,

    Some great inspiration to take away there!

    I was just wondering if you have considered creating pdf scripts for your podcasts?

    I find it hard sometimes to listen to the podcasts and only have time to scroll through a document and read it as opposed to listening.

    You can hire people on Fiverr to type them up for you and just makes it another option for your readers :) I would certainly read them!

    Great site BTW
