Before we get started, let’s state the obvious. You either picked up this book or it was given to you by a dear friend or loved one. You know yourself well by now, so let’s ask the easiest question first. Do you have a burning desire to start a side hustle before you get much older? Have you been thinking about a side gig – maybe for years? Perhaps you devoted your life to supporting your family – and now it’s time for you. Or perhaps some extra money might be a good idea.

            Does your empty house need excitement and energy now that the kids are gone? Maybe retirement is looming, and the nest egg needs a boost. Do you have an interest that you would like to develop and introduce to the world? Is there a major goal out there that desperately needs to be achieved? I’m not talking about little things like getting a sports car. In the final reflection of your life, will you deeply regret not pursuing a side hustle, because you never allowed yourself the chance to bring it to fruition?

If your ‘why’ might be fulfilled by starting and growing a side hustle, you have the right book in your hands. Go through the process of evaluating your ideas. In most cases, I find that people just want to live a fuller and more satisfying life by starting a side gig, but they don’t know what is involved. In these cases, getting a new hobby won’t cut it. It needs to be something of substance…. A really big thing. After all, your life is a huge deal, and anything you do should be exciting and worthwhile.
