100 Side Hustles: Unexpected Ideas for Making Extra Money Without Quitting Your Day Job Book Review - by Chris Guillebeau

Today I finished reading this book:
100 Side Hustles: Unexpected Ideas for Making Extra Money Without Quitting Your Day Job by 
Chris Guillebeau.

The book is a piece of art with cheerful layout and colorful pictures.

As for the book content, it's a quick and definite way to get you motivated to go and start your own side hustle and get your hand busy.

All the side hustles featured in the book are sourced from the Side Hustle School Podcast by Chris.

The book features many side hustles that vary between super clever and unique ideas to normal and traditional business projects and wired or unbelievable ways to make money as a side gig.

Some people mentioned in this book  

The guy who invented the backpack boat.

The guy who sells live insects for Reptiles Pets.

The collage student who runs a seven figure cleaning business.

The man who owns a museum trips guide company that worth millions of dollars.

Some people start their side hustle and wanted to keep them that way beside their daily jobs.

While others wanted to expand their gigs into a multi million dollar business and full time income.

You just can't help yourself except keep reading about those people who took the step towards their dream.

I hope you read this book and try it for yourself.

Keep me updated through your comments and feedback.

In its tone, it reminds me of the book

In order to life what you want you need to first know it.

Side Hustle: From Idea to Income in 27 Days : Book Review

Today I've finished reading this book

Side Hustle: From Idea to Income in 27 Days

for Chris Guillebeau

This book is intended for people who don't want/not ready to quit their full time jobs, but they need to make some sort of their own source of income on the side.

The book is great and very inspiring. You need to keep up with all the information and exercises the author puts in your hand..

I'm starting a new book also for Chris Guillebeau;
The Art of Non-Conformity: Set Your Own Rules, Live the Life You Want, and Change the World

This is an old book back from 2010

The $100 Startup: Reinvent the Way You Make a Living, Do What You Love, and Create a New Future : Book Review

I've just finished today the reading of this great inspiring book:

The $100 Startup: By Chris Guillebeau Book review



The $100 Startup: Reinvent the Way You Make a Living, Do What You Love, and Create a New Future

From the author who traveled the world in ten years and interviewed hundreds of people who had the braveness to pursue their dreams.

The book gives examples of many people who have decided - or even went by accident - to the situation of having a simple product they can offer to the world, then after they've got their first sale they knew they had something special in their lives.

Do what you love

The book has a clear message to the reader :

Do what you love. You can grow then grow a business or get to your target of freedom.

Either you are a designer, a teacher or even love to cook something, do whatever you love and keep doing it. Keep in mind that you will get to your target by doing it.

Advises are not always good

The other message I got from this book is:

Advises are not always good. Some advises are just bad in nature.

One of the people who has been interviewed in the book says:

Most people don't have their own businesses. And a significant percentage of them don't like the idea of you getting out from the nine-to-five daily job life they have.

Unlike many books on entrepreneurship, this book takes you to the point by showing hundreds of live examples from real-life entrepreneurs who went through the way.

You don't have to get into dept

You don't need to start with big investment. There is no need to get in dept or get a big part from your life savings just to start your own business.

Many people interviewed in this book has just started with about $100 or a little more.

Start as early as you can

You can stand still in the point of analysis and planning forever. But it's better that you take quick actions towards what you love and benefit from.

About my experience

I've completed the book in eight days. I've been reading it and also listening to it through the TTS Text-to-Speech software on my cellphone which has been my dream for years and now it has been fulfilled by using Android Software.

You can also listen to it for free on Audible using the free trial that allows you to listen to two audio books for free on Audible.

The next book I've started is a new book from the same author Chris Guillebeau

Side Hustle: From Idea to Income in 27 Days

The Happiness of Pursuit book review

The Happiness of Pursuit: Finding the Quest That Will Bring Purpose to Your Life : Chris Guillebeau

Just finished reading that book for Chris Guillebeau

That book gives many examples of people who wanted to take the quest of their lives.

A man who wanted to go across The USA on foot and a woman who wanted to see as many birds as she could are some examples.

The author, Chris Guillebeau , who had his own quest of travelling the whole world (193 countries) in ten years has seen many of those people.

The book is very inspiring and easy to read. After you finish it, you will definitely have that feeling of looking for your own life quest.

You may dob't want to travel the world or go to your country on foot, but you may want to find your own adventure.

Born for This - A book I recently finished

I've just finished reading that interesting book for Chris Guillebeau : 

Born for This: How to Find the Work You Were Meant to Do

How to find the work you have been born for. It's either a job, freelance project or a business. It may be also a goal or a target.

The book shows you some examples of people from around the world who have found their target and got the job they have been born for.

Employees, freelancers, CEOs or Roaming Entrepreneurs. All those people who tried to look for their dream jobs and found them.

You may even be a full time employee but still have a side business that can be your Side Hustle or your own small business.

Einstein and work passion

Today I had a completely new piece of information I got from Chris Guillebeau Born for This. In a chapter he mentioned the importance of following one’s passion but also to focus on what gets money for everyday life and paying the bills. In this chapter he mentioned that Albert Einstein had been working as a clerk for patent office.

Einstein felt it’s a good thing that he keeps his routine job that gets him the cash that enables him to focus on what really matters to him and loves the most ( that Relativity thing ).

You can keep your daily job as a mean for getting a constant and reliable source of income while keeping your eyes on your passion in practical aspects.

Making a schedule for regular practicing of your passion is a good starting point.

You must keep time for yourself and keep it as a ritual. Scheduling that time and linking it with a simple doable action that supports your overall target to your passion.

Improving your skills as working towards making them inevitable is not an option.

Reading books, taking courses or even watching useful videos concerning your passion is a good source of information.

Also, the regular scheduled practice routine makes skills improvement automatic.

Scheduling definitely makes things possible and doable. Simplicity makes your brain do it spontaneously. Simplicity means splitting big targets into small easy tasks.

Scheduling is mainly linking those simple tasks with some other habit you already do effortlessly or linking them with something that definitely happens (i.e. Sunset or when it’s 2 o’clock)

The idea has made my day. 

I know many writers who write about entrepreneurship and making business as a side hustle who agree with this point.

Where you can keep your daily job and have fun practicing your true inner passion. But when you see that Einstein himself have done it, that’s a brand new headline.
