Side Hustle Engineer

WHAT YOU NEED AND WHAT YOU DON’T

There are very few prerequisites to side hustling. To be successful in using this

model, mostly you need:

• The right frame of mind.

Specifically, you need a willingness to learn and experiment.

• The willingness to act.

Even though I’ve tried to write a very practical book, merely reading it

won’t do much for you.

• You don’t need much money.

Put away your credit cards (at least the ones with high limits) and don’t

worry about needing to raise capital or ask someone for a loan.

• You don’t need much time.

To be fair, you’ll need some time. But the time required to start a hustle

should be minimal.

• You don’t need a business degree or any kind of specialized

education.

Most business education teaches people how to be a corporate manager,

which is fine if that’s what you do for your day job.

• You don’t need employees, assistants, or business partners.

You may want to get help at some point, but not right away.

• You don’t need experience starting a business.

You don’t need to be an “entrepreneur” to start a side hustle.
