I have a wife and am an active father of 2 kids under age 2 and also have a side business in addition to a day job that requires 50 hours per week. If you’re not interested in a side business and would rather spend time doing other things, that’s awesome — there have definitely been points in my life where I didn’t want to be bothered. But the ‘time famine’ excuse is just that – an excuse. If you really want to do something, be it exercise, a hobby, or a side business, you have the time to do it. ‘I don’t have time’ and ‘If only I had a more money’ are the biggest dream/fulfillment killers I know.

Even with the decline of consumer and business spending there are still plenty of valuable investments for people to seek out and get them through these tough times. In fact, I think right now is the time to get wealthy, not be afraid. I think that a sidebusiness is a perfect opportunity right now, especially if it works.

Thanks for writing up your thoughts on this, starting something on the side is something I’d like to get going for myself soon. If you have the time and desire, I hope you could write a little bit about how you deal with this from a legal/taxation standpoint

I think the trick to having your own side business is for it to be something that you love to do, and not just doing it for the money.

Everything takes time, and for newbies out their, get ride of the “get rich quick” thinking.

All the best.

A lot of ads on the television portray property investment as an easier means of investing nowadays since home prices are at their lowest for years now. They also assert that selling real estate is not as difficult as people think so. How true is this assertion? Is there a way to do this safely?

I couldn’t agree with you more given the current economic climate. Diversification and innovation will be key to the survival of many of us.
I currently have several projects on the go and more in the pipeline and this info has proven very useful.
Many thanks

good motivational talk for the fat lazy america, as a constantly active individual i often ask myself these questions, wondering about others, who are addicted to TV or games.

A side business does provide a great way to diversify and gain that valuable business confidence. The trick is to find out how the systems work, then continue to be a part of other side businesses…

I agree I use to struggle to pay my bills but started my own side business, and after getting rooted I am now adding about $1,500 a month to my income. I love my job, and my side business allows me to continue to do what I love, and have money to have fun in the process.
