Notes from Chris

Episode 274
LISTENER SHOUTOUTS:

This week we have listener check ins from Brittany and Valerie:

  • Brittany: Hello! I heard Chris speak this past week and have basically devoured Side Hustle. I had NO idea what the contents would inspire, and I am now 3 hours away from my launch of a new program inspired by this book and Chris. (All within 48 hours of the book purchase!) I just wanted to say thank you. Very excited to see what comes in the next 48 hours of my life since the past 48 have been so epic.

  • Valerie: Hi Chris! Thanks so much for the NY event last night. I really enjoyed it and wanted to take a moment to let you know that I'm feeling quite inspired.  I'm the woman at the very end of the book signing line who is working on the online event planning toolkit. I thought you would like to know that I took your words to just start even though things are not quite ready.  Although the Event Toolkit isn't completed, I told several people about it last night and lo and behold, I got a private coaching client. I'm very excited, and I hope to be able to send you something about a successful outcome of my side hustle in the near future.  All the very best with your new book—I love it. Thanks again!!

    Also, speaking of tour stops—have you seen the Good Morning America feature from my stop in my hometown of Portland? Watch it here!

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!
