Side Hustle 101: From Dream to Reality

Dreaming of a Side Hustle? Here’s How to Finally Start One.

You’ve had a business idea in the back of your mind for months, maybe years. You’ve brainstormed, maybe even bought a domain name… but between work, life, and everything else, it’s stayed on the back burner.

Sound familiar?

You’re not alone – and you’re not stuck. Launching a business on the side is possible, even with a full-time job. And a new 6-week program is here to help you do exactly that.

Side Hustle Success: Launch Your Business After Hours

This practical, interactive online course is designed for people who want to build a business without quitting their day job. Over six weeks, you’ll move from idea to action, guided by an experienced facilitator and guest experts. Each week, you’ll get clear guidance, hands-on tools, and time to actually do the work.

This isn’t just about theory. It’s about making real progress.

By the end of the program, you’ll walk away with a plan, a clearer sense of what you offer, and the tools to keep building.
