Author quotes
Starting a business whilst employed allows you to determine proof of concept more safely by providing for a test run that indicates your side hustle’s viability. This means you can prove that your product or service is wanted in the world before you dedicate your full time focus towards it.
I bet you’re a lot like me; you just want freedom in your life and ownership of your work. We all want to make a meaningful impact in the world doing work that we love, on our own terms.
This book will encourage you to take the leap of believing in yourself, examine what’s holding you back, and push you to step up to the plate and knock it out of the park.
