WEEKLY RECAP: Before Beginning, Prepare Carefully

Notes from Chris

Episode 260

LISTENER SHOUTOUTS & QUESTIONS:

This week we have a listener check in from Braulio and a of listener question from Giovanni:

• Braulio: I just wanted to let you know over the past few months I've listen to side hustle school daily (as well as binge listen to the episodes prior to my discovery of it) and have really been thinking of what to do for my own side hustle. Today I took the plunge. I decided to start my own service to review resumes for students trying to find internships and entry-level jobs from college. I started my own website on Wix and am excited to see what turns out. Currently, I'm finishing my last year of my degree and saw this as a problem with many of my friends and classmates. I'm not sure how successful this will be yet but hope that I can find make some profit to help with extra expenses as a student and as well help some students along the way reach their goals!

• Giovanni: Gio recently graduated and has landed a job in Silicon Valley, but he's already beginning to think of ways that he can create a side hustle. He's always thought about starting a side hustle, but he's never really known how to get started. Recently though, he's gotten an idea to start his own podcast specifically for college students in their junior and senior years. When he was in school he didn't really know what certain jobs entailed or what it took to get them, so he's looking to feature and interview people who have landed various jobs and discuss these topics so that students looking to specialize know which direction they'd like to take. What he's uncertain about is how to get started

If you have something you'd like to ask me or an update you'd like to share, I'd love to hear from you! Leave me a voice message on the website or call into the Side Hustle Hotline (Dial 844-9-HUSTLE // 844-948-7853), and your question may be featured on the show!
