Critic Reviews

Chris Guillebeau is back with another book that will teach you not just how to earn more, but ultimately how to live better . . . You can establish your own side hustle in just 5 weeks – with a minimal amount of money and with skills you already have. Which raises a question: What’s stopping you? (Daniel H. Pink, New York Times bestselling author of Drive and To Sell is Human )
Straightforward, and packs in lots of tips . . . An ideal guide
The essential guide for anyone who wants to create more freedom, opportunity, and security . . . Packed with practical tips and strategies – illustrated by compelling stories of real-life hustles – that will inspire readers to start their side hustles now. (Gretchen Rubin, New York Times bestselling author of The Happiness Project)
There's a great temptation to assume that side hustles are just for "special people," like artists, dreamers, and 17-year-old computer geniuses. But Guillebeau deftly proves everyone can (and should) have a side hustle. (Jon Acuff, New York Times bestselling author of Do Over)

Chris' book is outstanding, extremely practical, readable and very easy to implement.

First time I listened to this book it was merely out of curiosity. About 2 years later in a new season of life, I actually did what it said and started a side hustle. I am now doing private tuition in ESL outside my day job earning $270 per week. I don't think I've ever been happier or felt this confident. It has given me tremendous joy to start something myself and great pride in my achievement, despite all my doubts. And I'm so excited for what comes next. I have big plans and I can't wait. Thanks Chris.

Outstanding
