Build your Side Hustle Around Your Life  Most people I know want to build side hustles. They want to have more financial freedom, more time to spend with their family, and more security around their ability to provide for themselves and their families. But they think it will be too much work. The truth is, you can start building a side hustle with only a couple of hours a day. Just give up your nightly episode of Narcos and work on a writing or FBA business. You will be amazed where it will take you in only a few months. 2. Developing a Side Hustle will Improve Every Area of Your Life  Something that many people do not realize is just how significantly a side hustle can change your life. Whenever you learn to generate income on your own terms, you will have less financial stress, you will have more confidence in yourself, and more time to devote to the things you love. You don’t have to worry about quitting your 9-5 either. Your side hustle is just the beginning and is meant as a way to supplement your income, get you out of debt, and generate extra cash to put aside in savings. 3. Figure Out What Skills You Already Have that You Can Charge For  The first step to succeeding at your side hustle is to figure out what skills you have that you can charge for. And before you say that you don’t have any, let me cut that belief down right now. If you can write, take pictures, manage spreadsheets, teach an instrument, are good with girls, or know how to plan a trip abroad, then you have the skills necessary to start a side hustle. But it’s up to you to determine what skills you have, develop the skills that you want to have, and then seek out clients who will pay you for them. 4. If You Want it You Will Get It  Everyone says that they want financial freedom, but few people are actually willing to take the steps necessary to get it. They would rather go out with friends, play video games, watch TV, or sit in front of their computer watching porn. If you want financial freedom, if you want to quit your 9-5, if you want to develop a side hustle that gives you the ability to pursue a life on your terms, then you will go out and get it. End of story. 5. Don’t be Afraid to Fail If you execute your side hustle properly, there is no need to be afraid of failure. Keep your 9-5, don’t take huge risks, and devote only a few hours to your side hustle a week. If you fail, there will be no real damage except for a few lost hours. You will still have your job, still have your family, and you will have learned some valuable lessons. There is nothing to be afraid of, so go out there and get after it.

For the last interview episode of Season 8, I talk with David Carlson, the founder of Young Adult Money, and the author of Student Debt Solutions. And his book and student debt (and finding solutions to paying it down) are exactly what we chat about in this interview. This is pretty timely too since many students are graduating university with student debt and don’t know where to start in paying it back. If you are a student and are in this situation, just remember you are not alone. So many other new post-grads are in the same exact situation, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take them seriously. The sooner you start paying them back, the sooner you’ll be debt free and can allocate that money towards something much more fun like traveling, buying a home or investing. If you know of a new post-grad freaking out because they’ve got a five or six figure student debt burden looming over them, share this episode with them! Where to Start with Student Debt Student debt is the ultimate obstacle to overcome, but it’s not as easy as just saying “Make more money and you’ll pay it off quicker.” Like David did, earning more money is of course a good solution. He started a side hustle on top of his day job which helped him pay off his student loans quicker. But that’s not the only thing you need to do. You need to make a financial plan starting with crafting a budget and saving up for an emergency fund. The emergency fund is crucial as it will help prevent you from getting into more debt.
