In this conversation with Chris we get deep into how:

• Take off some of the pressure by learning the difference between a startup and an income generating project.
• Learn how a side hustle is different from being a full blown entrepreneur.
• There is nothing wrong with you if you don’t want to quit your job tomorrow and take a big risk to start your own thing. You have other options.
• Not everyone is meant to be an entrepreneur but that doesn’t mean you can’t have your own thing on the side.
• Learn how to decide what kind of side hustle is right for you.
• How you can use your power of observation and curiosity to find possible side hustles that fit you.
• Learn the steps to identify and execute an effective side hustle.
• Learn how to truly identify and get specific with your ideal customer.

I remember in 2006 I had just been fired from a job that I hated.

I was pretty determined to not have to go back to “just another job” where I would spend my days just waiting for the weekend as I grinded it out in meetings that had no meaning to me.

So I began learning everything I could about people who get well paid AND love their work. Let’s call these people “Happy High Achievers”

One of the things that I observed right away is that Happy High Achievers don’t often get jobs by traditional means. When you’re outside and looking in it almost seems random. It’s not though.

It also doesn’t have anything to do with applying 200 plus times on Indeed or LinkedIn.

So how do they do it?

Well we’ve talked in the past about the importance of prioritizing what you want. That’s step 1, you must understand where you’re going to make it easier to get there. That said Happy High Achievers realize that people hire other people (not companies and not computers) which means that the very biggest short cut to finding work that fits you (or even getting positions created for you) is through relationships.

Now over the years I personally have found the very fastest way to begin a relationship with someone else isn’t networking events (and it definitely isn’t speed networking!) It’s also not social media.

Instead it’s through something far easier: introductions.
