So you want to create a side hustle?

So You Want to Start a Side Hustle: Build a Business that Empowers You to Live Your Life, Your Way by Husband-Wife Duo Carrie Bohlig and Craig Clickner Releases June June 8 2021 (McGraw Hill)



It may be more important than ever to have a side hustle.


Do you dream of starting a side hustle that will bring in extra income? Would you like this side hustle to change your lifestyle, empowering you to have the option to one day leave your full-time job and enjoy more autonomy, choice and time doing what matters most?


It took a couple, Carrie and Craig Clickner to imagine this precise lifestyle, beginning the journey in their twenties―juggling full-time work while side-hustling. More than extra cash, Carrie and Craig were seeking to leverage entrepreneurship as a means to truly enrich their quality of life by giving them freedom and time. Because all-too-often, side hustles simply remain ideas that either never take flight, or simply become a stressful, added burden on already busy schedules―leaving their founders without any meaningful results.


Carrie and Craig have built several streams of both “Progressive Passive” and passive incomes, allowing them to invest more time with their kids and pursue other passion projects like writing, public speaking, and launching a nonprofit. They have not only used side hustling as a tool to create an extraordinary life, but have helped others do as well, speaking to audiences of over 20K annually, and now are ready to empower you on your journey.


This new book, So You Want to Start a Side Hustle: Build a Business that Empowers You to Live Your Life, Your Way (McGraw Hill, June 8 2021) is about helping people make real paradigm shifts so they can move from an employee mindset to a business owner mindset. As Craig and Carrie share; There is an epidemic of people starting side hustles, but they want to teach you how to finish one.


Designed as a “traveling adventure guide”―So You Want to Start a Side Hustle begins with foundational steps most side hustlers miss―such as establishing a clear Life Vision so you can understand what winning even means, developing the right “Lifeset,” and learning how to evaluate business systems, not just products. Rich with real-life stories about failure and lessons learned as well as anecdotes about the experiences of other small business owners and solopreneurs, So You Want to Start a Side Hustle shows you how to get your idea from the thinking and planning stages to the life-changing, revenue-producing venture you want it to be. All in a candid and accessible, fun-to-read tone.


While offering specific and tactical strategies to handle marketing, decision making, and funding, So You Want to Start a Side Hustle also walks readers through the aspects Craig and Carrie see as most paramount: building the right mindset, Lifeset, and support structure.


For you and your friends and family, it may be time.
