Start-up!

The author of the New York Times Bestseller THE $100 STARTUP, shows how to launch a profitable side hustle in just 27 days. To some, the idea of quitting their day job to start a business is exhilarating. For others, it’s terrifying. After all, a job that produces a steady paycheck can be difficult to give up. But in a time when businesses have so little loyalty to employees that the very notion of “job security” has become a punchline, wouldn’t it be great to have an additional source of income to fall back on? And wouldn’t it be great to make that happen without leaving your day job? Enter the Side Hustle. Based on detailed information from hundreds of case studies, Chris Guillebeau provides a step-by-step guide that anyone can use to create and launch a profitable project in less than a month. Designed for the busy and impatient, this plan will have you generating income immediately, without the risk of throwing yourself head first into the world of entrepreneurship. Whether you just want to make some extra money, or start something that may end up replacing your day job entirely, the side hustle is the new job security. When you generate income from multiple sources, it gives you options, and in today’s world, options aren't just nice to have: they're essential. You don’t need entrepreneurial experience to launch a profitable side hustle. You don’t need a business degree, know how to code, or be an expert marketer. And you certainly don’t need employees or investors. With this book as your guide, anyone can learn to build a fast track to freedom.

Have you ever met someone with the perfect job? To the outside observer, it seems like they've won the career lottery—that by some stroke of luck or circumstance they've found the one thing they love so much that it doesn't even feel like work—and they're getting paid well to do it. In reality, their good fortune has nothing to do with chance. There’s a method for finding your perfect job, and Chris Guillebeau, the bestselling author of The $100 Startup, has created a practical guide for how to do it—whether within a traditional company or business, or by striking out on your own. Finding the work you were “born to do” isn’t just about discovering your passion. Doing what brings you joy is great, but if you aren’t earning a living, it’s a hobby, not a career. And those who jump out of bed excited to go to work every morning don’t just have jobs that turn their passions into paychecks. They have jobs where they also can lose themselves for hours in the flow of meaningful work. This intersection of joy, money, and flow is what Guillebeau will help you find in this book. Through inspiring stories of those who have successfully landed their dream career, as well as actionable tools, exercises, and thought experiments, he’ll guide you through today’s vast menu of career options to discover the work perfectly suited to your unique interests, skills, and experiences. You’ll learn how to: • Hack the job of your dreams within a traditional organization by making it work for you • Find not only your ideal work but also your ideal working conditions • Create plans that will allow you to take smarter career risks and “beat the house” every time • Start a profitable “side hustle” and earn extra cash on top of your primary stream of income • Escape the prison of working for someone else and build a mini-empire as an entrepreneur • Become a rock star at any creative endeavor by creating a loyal base of fans and followers Whichever path you choose, this book will show you how to find that one job or career that feels so right, it’s like you were born to do it.

Side Business

Al igual que los héroes de antaño se lanzaban a realizar sus sueños y a lomos de un caballo se adentraban en bosques encantados, muchos hombres y mujeres siguen recorriendo un camino para «encontrarse» a sí mismos. Como descubrió don Quijote hace muchos años, una misión no siempre resulta ser como se había planeado. Los viajeros sufren contratiempos inesperados o se pierden porque alguien les ha orientado mal, y algunas situaciones que han de afrontar son un auténtico reto. Sin embargo, por extraño que parezca, las desventuras (y a veces hasta los desastres) generan confianza. Este libro trata sobre esta oportunidad de aprender. Vas a estar en compañía de hombres y mujeres que iniciaron grandes aventuras y dieron un propósito a sus vidas trabajando en pos de algo que para ellos tenía un profundo sentido. Encontrarás aquí sus relatos y las lecciones que aprendieron. Sabrás lo que les sucedió por el camino, pero, sobre todo, sabrás por qué ocurrió y por qué importa. Fabuloso... Bien escrito, entretenido e inspirador. Huffington Post Las increíbles aventuras a las que Chris Guillebeau nos remite en Tu sueño hecho realidad, incluida la suya propia de viajar a todos los países del mundo, me dejaron exhausto. Claro que, siendo alguien que trabaja desde casa, la mayoría de los días mis aventuras se reducen a darme una ducha. Ahora, hablando en serio: los relatos de este libro son de verdad inspiradores, y muy, muy entretenidos. Joel Stein, columnista de la revista Time y autor de Man Made: A Stupid Quest for Masculinity Chris Guillebeau es el Indiana Jones de nuestros tiempos. Gretchen Rubin, autora de Objetivo: felicidad Cuando la misión consiste en un viaje o en alcanzar una meta, puede ser satisfactoria, divertida e incluso provocar un cambio de paradigma. Pero cuando la misión nace de un anhelo profundo y se transforma en auténtica vocación, se convierte en medicina para el alma, y eso lo cambia absolutamente todo. La felicidad de hacer realidad nuestros sueños es una invitación a escuchar a esa parte de nosotros que busca desesperadamente algo que dé verdadero sentido a nuestra vida; esa parte que dice: «¡Eh, despierta! Hay una aventura diseñada expresamente para ti que te espera». Lissa Rankin, autora de Mind Over Medicine

Chris Guillebeau scheint alles richtig gemacht zu haben: Er liebt sein Leben und tut jeden Tag genau das, was ihm Spaß macht. Schon früh hat er begriffen, dass es im Leben wichtigere Dinge gibt als Geld. Mit 20 hatte er seine letzte Festanstellung, seitdem arbeitet er freiberuflich in den verschiedensten Berufen - er verkaufte Kaffee, designte Websites, war Amateurmusiker. Zwischenzeitlich verbrachte er vier Jahre als freiwilliger Helfer in Afrika. Neben der Arbeit an seiner eigenen Homepage findet er jedes Jahr Zeit für seine große Leidenschaft: das Reisen. Gemäß seinem Credo "Verbessere dein eigenes Leben und gestalte damit die Welt positiver" lebt er die Philosophie seines Buches. In diesem hat er all seine großartigen Ratschläge, praktischen Tipps und Lebensweisheiten zusammengetragen, damit jeder von uns ein außergewöhnliches, erfüllendes Leben führen kann. Denn gegen den Strom zu schwimmen kann manchmal sehr befreiend sein. Wir müssen nicht alle Anweisungen von Autoritäten befolgen, Regeln einhalten, ohne sie zu hinterfragen, oder jeden Tag in einem Job verbringen, der uns schon lange anödet. Wir alle haben es verdient, genau das zu tun, was uns Freude bereitet, und unsere Träume zu verwirklichen. Jeden Tag. Denn nur dann werden wir zu besseren Menschen und die Welt zu einem besseren Ort. Und genau das lernen wir mit diesem Buch.
