Weekly Recap: Should You Open a Retail Store While Working a Job?

Notes from Chris

Episode 421

LISTENER QUESTIONS: I recently received a great email from Rachel. She has a question that a number or people have asked in different ways, but I love the way that she phrased it. Here's what Rachel had to say:

Hi Chris! Today, I was filled with excitement as I opened my Amazon box to the bright, yellow cover of your book. I can’t wait to dig in! My question for you: is it possible to create a side hustle for a brick-and-mortar business while maintaining your day job? It seems like many people’s success is with low overhead online businesses, but my dream is to open a wellness studio. Am I biting off too much to chew with a side hustle of this nature?Thank you for taking the time to read this!

It’s certainly possible to do that and indeed a lot of folks have done so. It's just harder than something that's strictly online, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't do it. If it's right for you and you can handle it, don't let anyone dissuade you. If you can be dissuaded or for anyone else out there wondering about this, listen to the Weekly Recap to learn more! 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!
