What It's About
If you only have a small amount of money, what's the best hustle for you? (Hint: it's a trick question!)
Notes from Chris
Episode 1098
I’m so glad to get this question today … it’s a problematic question that I often hear variations of. If you have ever thought, "oh, I have a certain amount of money, what can I do with it"—this question is for you. If you go on a vacation, thinking about the available budget is perfectly reasonable. You have $1,000 or whatever the amount is, so you ask, “Where can I go for $1,000?” But this thinking doesn’t apply to your moneymaking side project … or at least, it shouldn’t. I’ll tell you why, but first I have to thank Oliver for bringing up this question.I don’t have a lot of disposable income right now, so I always like hearing stories with low startup costs. I could probably spend about $500 but no more ... what’s the best business or side hustle for me to pursue?Listen to today's episode to learn more...
