Shout Outs & Listener Q&A:

Today we have a listener email from Janet in Phoenix, and a listener voicemail from Steven in New York.

Also! In today's Weekly Recap, we tackle the topic of whether or not you need to feel passionate about the product you're reselling—listen to the episode to learn more!

  • Janet: "Do you have to be passionate about something that you're reselling. What if you just find a good opportunity?"

    Steven: Steven has a question about subscription models, but his question doesn't have anything to do with the logistics of starting one—rather how to end one. He says that he feels like a lot of people are hesitant to start subscription based side hustles because they're not sure what to do if the side hustle doesn't end up working out. What do you do if you want to halt your subscription service?

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!
