Summary of Side Hustle 

4.5 . 1594 reviews

Short summary

Do you want to expand your financial freedom, but the thought of giving up your day job is far too terrifying? Would you like to run your own side business without having to put forth a tremendous amount of effort every day? It’s time to learn how to run a side hustle! You too can become a business success, with very little effort involved. Chris Guillebeau is a New York Times Bestselling author. His previous book, “The $100 Start-up” was a huge success and “Side Hustle” takes it a step further, showing you how to take a simple idea and develop it towards a money-making result. No need to quit your day job, no need to invest thousands, and no need to learn the ins and outs of business management. All you need is a willingness to learn, an idea, the initial time to develop it, and the right mind-set from the start. “Side hustle ideas are all around you.” ~ Chris Guillebeau

Turn a simple idea into a money–making machine

Listen the first key point

Let’s face it; everyone wants more money. If you wish to admit it or not, the idea of having more cash in your bank account is highly appealing. The problem is, most people don’t like the idea of leaving the security of their regular job to go in search of a new business idea that may or may not work. The security of a monthly paycheck is far too important to risk.

A side hustle is an idea that you develop into a money–making scheme. The plus point is that you don’t have to put forth much effort for this idea to continue sending cash your way, and you also don’t need a massive amount of money to get the idea off the ground.

Chris Guillebeau gives us a great example of a man from Britain who wrote a few Amazon reviews on fish tanks but then thought no more of it and forgot about it. A few months later, he received a check in the post for $350! He continued writing reviews from that point on and began earning around $700 for his small efforts.

A side hustle is a way to make cash without having to give up the security of your regular job. It gives you options, confidence, and it gives you financial freedom. “Side Hustle” teaches you how to take a small idea and develop into something with real potential.
You have no idea how far a small idea can go. Your side hustle may turn out to be a real money–maker!

Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.

In today’s world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life. Headway gives you a chance to find out the meat of a book that you might want to purchase and read or listen to in-depth without wasting a lot of time trying to figure out is this book for me? I highly recommend the app.

I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!

It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.

I’m enjoying what I’m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, I’ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.

Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
