I'm Ready For My Side Hustle


Chris Guillbeau's latest book, Side Hustle: From Idea To Income In 27 Days couldn't come at a better time. I have been extremely interested in the idea of a side hustle for a while, but I didn't know where or how to start. The book breaks down a plan on what you should be doing week to week so by Day 27, you should have launched your side hustle. At first, I thought I should just find a side hustle that I can do, but Guillbeau suggests that you find a high-potential side hustle. A high potential side hustle is not just another part-time job. It should be one that you can grow and possibly build into a business and replace your full-time job. He gives you some ideas on what kind of side hustles you can start. There are 3 broad categories of side hustles: one where you sell a product, one where you can offer a service, and one where you act as the middleman. I haven't read any of Guillbeau's other books so the information he gives in Side Hustle are all new to me. As a newbie, this book was very easy to read and understand, and I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in building their side hustle.

Review of The New Rules of Work



The New Rules of Work: The Modern Playbook For Navigating Your Career written by the duo Alexandra Cavoulacos an Kathryn Minshew is a pretty standard read when it comes to career self help books. There really wasn't anything new that I haven't read from other career self help books. The New Rules of Work does a good job in going into detail about how to start a job search, network, interview in the our modern day. The book is more tailored for today's modern job search/interview so I think it would be a great book for new graduates who are starting off their career or for someone who's been a seasoned employee and is starting a new job search again.
