Have a business idea you want to get off the ground, but can’t afford to give up the day job? Or do you dream of making money from your hobby? Chris Guillebeau, author of the New York Times bestseller The $100 Startup, will show you how.

Chris has been building side hustles for over 20 years. He knows what works and what doesn’t – and why it’s important to distinguish interesting ideas from profitable ones.

During this practical masterclass, he will guide you through a 27-day plan, giving you the information you need to develop your side hustle with just 30 minutes a day and no investment. You will be engaged in practical exercises on planning and launching your business, with plenty of time to ask Chris any questions you may have.

Whether you need some extra income or would like to try out an idea you’ve been nurturing for a while, Chris will show you that anyone can make more money or pursue a passion with little to no budget and without quitting their day job.
