Every Side Hustle School story features someone who earns at least $500 a month apart from their day job. But some people earn a lot more, earning six or even seven figures from their side hustle. A listener wants to know: what separates small earners from big ones?
First of all, let’s acknowledge that people have different goals. Not everyone says, “I want to earn $200,000 a year from my side hustle.” Almost always, the work required to create something like that is going to be a lot more than someone earning $6-12,000 extra a year.
“Hi Chris, this is Kate and I’ve been listening for a while, and I’ve noticed that you feature stories with a wide range of results, including some that make a small amount of money, and some that end up being a really big moneymaker.
With so many episodes in the archives, my question is: have you noticed anything that separates the big wins from the small? Is it just a matter of choosing a project that has the ability to scale, or is it something related to the fundamental approach? What are the skills someone needs to go big? Thanks Chris for sharing your thoughts about this.”
