With more and more Americans feeling less security in traditional employment, setting up a side hustle—or recommitting to one you’ve already started—can create a path to greater financial security, additional autonomy and choice, and ultimately more time for what matters most. The biggest roadblock most people face, say side hustle experts Carrie Bohlig and Craig Clickner, is getting hung up on needing a “passion” or having an original big “idea”—both of which are unnecessary!

Part adventure guide, part practical blueprint, So You Want to Start a Side Hustle offers the successful couple’s best advice on how to get yourself beyond the WHAT—your idea or product—and move to the next level to generate lasting success—and revenue. You’ll learn how to create a strong foundation for your side hustle utilizing concepts such as Lifeset, Progressive Passive Income, Life Vision and learning how to properly evaluate business systems.  

From the bigger picture life planning to the finer strategic details, So You Want to Start a Side Hustle helps you lay the foundation you’ll need to succeed, so you can not only make extra income but truly improve your quality of life.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

“First time authors Bohlig and Clickner know what it’s like to juggle multiple jobs. They spent their twenties and thirties balancing full-time careers, real estate investments, and sales opportunities. Perhaps that’s why So You Want to Start a Side Hustle comes across as so authentic.

This book is more relevant for burgeoning entrepreneurs with a regular 9-5 who need a stable income while plotting their escape, rather than someone who simply wants a secondary income. Bohlig and Clickner approach this book with an optimistic practicality. In chapter 4 (“The WHAT: Choosing the Right Side Hustle for You”), they’re upfront that a side hustle doesn’t need to be your life’s passion. Their suggestions for managing overspending in chapter 5 (“Establishing a Solid Lifeset”) include an explanation of vehicle financing so straightforward that it should be required reading for every high school student. By encouraging readers to honestly assess their values, strengths and weaknesses, Bohlig and Clickner provide a road map to getting a side hustle off the ground.”
