Ratings and reviews

I bought this on a whim, but was a bit disappointed it was pretty much just "testimonials." Then, bored on New Year's Eve, I decided to read through the first few of them... and I couldn't really put the book down. Not all of the stories are interesting, but they're not meant to be. Certain ones I have bookmarked; they fit my life and circumstances, and inspire me. The book essentially helped fan some flames inside, and I feel good about trying to pursue a side hustle sometime in the future. I'd be interested in getting this as a coffee table book now, just to flip through for random inspiration.

Started reading this book on the trail, enjoyed reading how normal everyday people come up with new ways of making money. Author has very cleverly written how anyone can do something more with a little effort. Great read

The writers name is Chris gullible spelled in a way that nobody could tell, if u need a side hustle how bout selling useless books in funny pseudonyms to stupid desperate people 🤣
