Who here has successfully built a side hustle or startup? Who here is successfully creating additional income? Does anyone have resources [books, podcasts, anything] that have helped them?

Anyone else a bit of a sucker for start up books? What's your favourites?

Mine (so far!) are The Lean Startup, The Art of the Start 2.0, and Start with Why.

I'll switch to a startup as the only data engineer and will closely work with all the Head ofs + the CTO.

Any advice/books/... on stakeholder management at that level? Especially when things fail/discussing budgets/new hires etc.

My background is in tech transactional. I joined a cybersecurity SaaS startup at the end of last year and now also handle more generalist matters in addition to all things commercial-related. I have a number of books on contracts that I’ve found super helpful over the years (The Tech Contracts Handbook, A Manual of Style for Contract Drafting, Sign Here, etc.). Can anyone recommend books they’ve found helpful for L&E matters, privacy matters, product matters, or marketing/advertising matters?

What are the best books to read about startups? From someone who’s working at a startup and trying follow the right practices

Considering an exit to a startup that just completed a solid series B. They’re willing to provide competitive comp package and surprised how large the base is for a startup. Has me concerned about being on the high end and being the first person that comes to mind when it’s time to pinch a few pennies or clean up the books ahead of future rounds/IPO. Valid concern or am I overthinking it?

Any good recommended books on how to build a scalable product and team? I'm looking for recommendations for two areas: 1) in general laying the groundwork in a startup to have the tools and especially processes in place to scale, and 2) tactical focus on building a SaaS project. I've been promoted into a management role from Dev roots, so need to learn more PM processes to be an effective manager in day job, plus would like to start building my own SaaS solution.

Looking for recommendations to generally upskill my Strategy work (or learn from scratch) — be it courses, classes, books, podcasts, people to follow.

For context, I’m a freelance Social Media Manager/Strategist and I came into Ad world via Startups. Throwing myself into learning on the job with more Strategy gigs - but I still don’t feel like I quite know the lingo or best practices or theories.

Which books would you recommend for in house counsel about strategy, management, and leadership?

Can anyone recommend good books or articles on startup org charts and hiring? Think we’ve hit early signs of product/market fit, but not sure who to hire next, in what order, and how the org should evolve over next few years.

As a new product manager what books should I be reading? I’ve already read Inspired but looking or more. For context, I’ve joined a series A start up and as expected there’s a lot to do and it’s very fluid. I want to be able to help the head of product as much as possible as well as provide some structure to how we work.

Side hustle or startup ideas for someone who isn’t technical/doesn’t code? Where should I look or where to begin? I don’t have any strong passions or specific skills that I’m confident in. What books, articles, blogs, orgs, events, people I should follow for inspiration that has helped you? I have some cash to invest and am looking for a part time hustle that can cash flow at least a little bit of money on the side.

New to startup ecosystem. What are some resources, books, podcasts that help you along the way? Are there any communities you interact with regularly on Reddit/discord/meetup?

Can anyone pls recommend a resource to learn Agile / scrum in the shortest way possible? Books or online class? Just joined a startup and want to brush up on my skills. Thanks!

- How to launch a product and/or a startup?

On workplace said it was “under review” then after a week it updated to “interviewing”. It was status for two weeks. I did not get a phone call nor email about setting up an interview. Then logged in to check and say “not selected”. Just kinda want insight on what happened? Thx

I’ve a job search support business. Unlike self-paced courses I provide personal group support because I believe it provides results (like having a PT vs DYI). But getting quite time consuming to scale. Does anyone have any advice?

If anyone has ever heard of the website Curated, being an "expert" (read: salesman) is a fantastic side gig. I joined their golf sales team (there are many categories) expecting to make maybe 500-1000 a month and am actually bringing in about 3000 a month doing it.

I told my boss that I’m starting a podcast where sex is the topic and she fully supports it. Should I care what my other co workers might say or keep the same mentality, “screw them”?

Hey guys! I have tried doing accounting/bookkeeping on the side because I'm a single mom and I have no family currently where I am, so no one to leave the little one after she's home from school to potentially go outside the home. I have been ripped off 3 times by people on Fiverr & Upwork seeking my services. How do I verify these people and how what other side gig can I do from home?

Do you often partner with other freelance creatives? I'm slowly building a roster of freelancers in different disciplines to pass on some of my private practice work.
Here's why:
1. Increases my capacity and shortens my turnaround time.
2. Other freelancers are usually experts in the area that I don't want to actively work on myself
3. I get to specialist on the parts of the project I like most and lead the creative direction for the rest.
4. Get to create great relationships with other talents
