Notes from Chris
Episode 183
WEEKLY CHECK-IN: Occasionally, there will be a new question and an opportunity for you to share your side hustle journey on the show! Who has helped you along your journey? I would love to do some shout outs on the show, and give you a chance to acknowledge and thank anyone who has helped you get to the point you're at now on your side hustle. To send in your response either leave me a voice message, call our Side Hustle Hotline at 844-9-HUSTLE (844-948-7853), or make a voice memo on your phone and email it to me at podcast@sidehustleschool.comLISTENER Q&A: This week we had a listener question from Paul:
- Paul feels like he often gets these 'diamond in the rough' ideas that would genuinely help people and make hims some additional money. However, many of his ideas involve coding and other technical skills that he doesn't already have. His question—what do I recommend to a potential side hustler who has neither the skills nor the time to learn the skills needed to launch their idea.
