Notes from Chris
Episode 547
THEMES & TAKEAWAYS: Would you say that there's ever a "normal week" in your life? Is there ever a time where things go exactly as planned, without disruptions, and you're not stressed about work? You have time for yourself, time for your side hustle, and everything is just going nice and easy? Well, maybe that happens for some people all the time, most of us have a lot of disruptions. In today's recap, we'll talk more about how to carve out more time for yourself while working a full-time job and a side hustle. Tune in to the Weekly Recap to learn more! LISTENER Q&A: This week we had a listener question in the form of a voicemail from Jeff in California:- Jeff has been listening to the show for a while now and has been finding a lot of fantastic advice and inspiration in it. He's a Biologist by trade, and his side hustle offers resume services for early career Biologists. While he's hoping to share more about his side hustle soon, he has a question about website brokers—services that buy and sell websites. Why not just take the money you have and buy a business that is already generating a monthly income and maintain it? Can this be a viable side hustle?
- The best answer is "Yes and no"—listen to today's episode to learn more!
