“I want them to be dependent on me.”

This statement was made to me when by an owner of a small business as we were discussing a marketing position for his company. I asked if he would consider a contractor instead of an employee and was presenting the benefits of not adding to his permanent headcount. I understood: he wanted leverage over his staff through fear.

In this episode I talk about starting or growing your "side hustle".

If you are considering starting a side-hustle or want to talk about ways to grow your current side business, let’s schedule time to chat. It is likely you are already helping people and could get paid for this work. I set aside time to help people break the cycle of dependence on an employer, to use personal and professional networks to gain liberation from a single income source.  Dscottsmith.com/contactscott is where you can find access to scheduling time with me. It’s a 45 minute no-cost, no obligation conversation.
