Want to make extra money to help you pay down debt or explore a new career? Chris Guillbeau shares how to launch a profitable side hustle in 27 days! [smart_track_player url=”http://traffic.libsyn.com/couplemoney/How_to_Launch_a_Profitable_Side_Hustle_in_Less_Than_a_Month_with_Chris_Guillebeau.mp3″ hashtag=”money, #podcast, #SideHustleBook” twitter_username=”CoupleMoney” ] Give Yourselves Margin with a Side Hustle One of the biggest objections to not saving or paying down debt I keep hearing is “We don’t have any extra cash.” Makes sense. If you don’t have any extra cash, it’s hard to pay down that debt or build and emergency fund. Typically there are few ways you can save money on your expenses or negotiate better deals with certain bills like cable or insurance. But sometimes it’s not just a spending issue.  It’s an earning one. After spending 40 hours or so working,  you’re not necessarily looking to take a second job and being tied down to another fixed schedule for so-so pay. So is there a way for you to earn more on the side? Perhaps tapping into one of your talents? And what if that income stream can give you margin or a buffer so you can finally grow your emergency fund, knock out some of that debt, and maybe explore a new career? How would you feel then? Excited? Thrilled? Ready to go? Or are you a bit skeptical and tired of the hype you see online about side hustles? Let’s be real. If it was really that easy to drum up such an income stream, then most people would be all over that. However, that doesn’t mean it’s not doable. It means you have to be smart about the time you invest when launching. ever Chris Guillbeau, author of Side Hustle from Idea to Income in 27 Days, is here to share his expertise and story.  In this episode we get into: * why a side hustle can be a wonderful option * how you can start one in less than a month * why and how a sustainable side hustle can also build your legacy Hope you enjoy!
