“The side hustle offers
something worth much
more than money: A hedge
against feeling stuck and
dull and cheated by life.”

“In any case, those of us who are
employed generally understand
ourselves to be lucky. [But your
side hustle is] the distraction
from your disappointment, a
bridge between crass realities
and your compelling inner life.”

“Tell me, what is it that you plan to do with
your one wild and precious life?”
Cut your commitments
Schedule like a boss
Use your network
Find your tribe
Outsource everything
Celebrate small wins
Always add value
Make self-care a priority
Remember your why
Don’t flaunt it at work
