Does anyone here have side hustles? I started to provide sales training and coaching for individual reps. It started out very casually, but with a lot of referrals, I now help founders sell, build sales teams, and solve sales challenges, while still working with reps to boost sales... essentially filling the gaps left by typical sales managers. 1-on-1s with founders have been giving me valuable insight into a variety of industries. Sharing this here to motivate anyone who wants to try!

That's so cool! Thanks for sharing. How long have you been doing this, though? I'd assume it's not that easy to get founders of companies to trust your expertise .. how did you get there? I've been holding off on creating a course or writing a book about sales, but it just takes so much time that I don't have. Would love to know if you did this alongside your actual job, or if you quit at some point and focused completely on building this.

I’ve been seeing a lot of people move into consultation roles recently! Kind of a nice safety net to have other things going on. It’s been a while since I have had any side work, used to help on some marketing and email campaigns for small businesses. Which was fun for me and maybe something I should get back into.

I don't, but reading this is really making me want to give it a try. That's awesome you've been able to make it so successful. Any chance of you making it your full time job? It sounds like you've got to be close to being able to make that a possibility.

That’s awesome! I love how your side hustle grew from something casual to really impactful work. I’ve been thinking about exploring a side hustle too, something that aligns with my skills but also adds variety to my routine. Haven't quite figured out what yet.
