The foundation of your success or failure starts with who you align yourself with (or learn from). Craig and Carrie have again and again shown incredible results in helping others grow their businesses and change their lives. So You Want to Start a Side Hustle provides a follow-along guide for your financial life and autonomy. You now have the opportunity to learn from the best; its just up to you to implement.
DAN SPRANSY, owner of Realty Executives Cooper Spransy and founder of Before16.org
This is the book I wish I had when I decided to reinvent myself and start my own side hustle. I spent my entire professional career in higher education. I never thought about some of the important questions raised in Carrie and Craigs book around subjects such as finding your Who and designing a Life Vision. Just understanding the magnitude of these two topics alone, and how to approach them, can fundamentally change a persons life.
The breadth and depth covered in this book will help you understand whats necessary when starting and profiting from a side hustle, including those who already have a business but want to take it the next level. Reading the book feels like having two mentors working with you, side by side, with specific steps and guidelines to ensure your success.
In a nutshell, I cannot recommend this book enough. Get a copy now.

Carrie and Craig have created a framework for taking action in the direction of your dreams.

Their voices both weave in and out of the story as your guides and mentors along the way. This one is a game changer and deserves a place on every aspiring entrepreneurs bookshelf.

INTRODUCTION
From Craig
One of the greatest adventures and most rewarding accomplishments of starting our side hustles was manifesting the ability to step away from corporate America. Not only did we generate the income we needed, but we created the time we craved. Of all the goals worth pursuing, fighting for the life you want to live should be one of the highest priorities.
