If you\u2019re looking to pay down debt or save for a financial goal faster, there are two ways to to do it: either save<\/em> more money or make<\/em> more money. Let\u2019s assume you\u2019re knocking it out of the park with your frugality. How can you make more money? Well, one way is starting a side hustle. Besides providing you with extra income, my guest today argues that having a small business on the side can actually bring a lot more satisfaction and confidence to your life. His name is Chris Guillebeau and I’ve had him on the podcast before to discuss his book Born for This<\/i><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Chris and I begin our conversation talking about why every man should have a side hustle \u2014 including those who are already very happy with their day jobs. Chris then walks us through the process of starting a side hustle from ideation to business formation to marketing. Along the way Chris busts some myths that people have about starting a business and provides examples of folks who have added $1,000 to $20,000 a month to their income with a business they work on in their free time. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
