Hustle 101

Chris Guillebeau from SideHustleSchool.com is a tremendous advocate for the lower risk brand of entrepreneurship we cover on the show.

He’s a New York Times bestselling author of, The $100 Startup, Side Hustle, The Art of Non-Conformity and other books, and he’s hosted over 1,100 episodes of The Side Hustle School podcast.

As someone who has also built his business around helping others find and implement their own side hustle ideas, it was about time we had a meeting of the side hustle minds.

This week’s show is a re-take on last year’s Thanksgiving episode on 10 Creative Side Hustles that Make Real Money.

That show was a hit, so I’m returning to that format for another round.

Some of these will you have kicking yourself not thinking of it yourself, and some of these are 6-figure businesses you could literally start tomorrow.

Whether you’re looking for a side hustle or want to have a more enjoyable 9-5, there are several ways you can go about becoming your own boss.

Just imagine … no more clocking in, no more mean bosses, and no more incompetent coworkers to deal with.

Sounds like bliss, right?

But how exactly do you make it a reality? What do you need to do to be your own boss?

There’s a topic that no one really talks about in entrepreneurship or online business, and that’s the unfair advantages someone had starting out.

Behind every killer case study, every income report, every “overnight” success, there’s a backstory you don’t always hear.

The truth is, no one ever really starts from scratch. We bring our own history, perspectives, and baggage to the table.

What is a side hustle?

A side hustle is simply anything you do to earn money outside of a traditional job.

In generations past, this might have been known as “moonlighting,” but there’s also a more entrepreneurial connotation than merely taking on a second job.
