Book Hustle Your Way to Financial Freedom

Download or read book Hustle Your Way to Financial Freedom written by George Lynch and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-12-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hustle Your Way to Financial Freedom" is a comprehensive guide that empowers readers to achieve financial independence through strategic planning, hard work, and smart investments. The book emphasizes the importance of identifying popular niches with high demand, aligning your interests and expertise, and maintaining enthusiasm throughout the process. It underscores the necessity of professional editing, eye-catching cover design, and effective formatting to make your content stand out. The book also highlights the importance of marketing, especially in the saturated market of self-publishing. It encourages readers to increase their online presence, engage in email marketing, and plan well-timed book launches. The book provides a roadmap to financial independence, emphasizing the importance of creating additional income streams, or "side hustles," to fast-track financial goals. It offers practical advice on how to start a profitable side hustle and diversify income streams, and it encourages readers to invest as much money as early and often as possible. The book is not just about making money, but also about saving, investing, and better managing your money. It challenges the accepted narrative of spending decades working a traditional 9 to 5 job, pinching pennies, and finally earning the right to retirement at age 65. Instead, it offers readers an alternative: forget everything you've ever learned about money so that you can actually live the life you want

Book Financial Freedom

Download or read book Financial Freedom written by Grant Sabatier and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The International Bestseller New York Public Library's "Top 10 Think Thrifty Reads of 2023" "This book blew my mind. More importantly, it made financial independence seem achievable. I read Financial Freedom three times, cover-to-cover." —Lifehacker Money is unlimited. Time is not. Become financially independent as fast as possible. In 2010, 24-year old Grant Sabatier woke up to find he had $2.26 in his bank account. Five years later, he had a net worth of over $1.25 million, and CNBC began calling him "the Millennial Millionaire." By age 30, he had reached financial independence. Along the way he uncovered that most of the accepted wisdom about money, work, and retirement is either incorrect, incomplete, or so old-school it's obsolete. Financial Freedom is a step-by-step path to make more money in less time, so you have more time for the things you love. It challenges the accepted narrative of spending decades working a traditional 9 to 5 job, pinching pennies, and finally earning the right to retirement at age 65, and instead offers readers an alternative: forget everything you've ever learned about money so that you can actually live the life you want. Sabatier offers surprising, counter-intuitive advice on topics such as how to: * Create profitable side hustles that you can turn into passive income streams or full-time businesses * Save money without giving up what makes you happy * Negotiate more out of your employer than you thought possible * Travel the world for less * Live for free--or better yet, make money on your living situation * Create a simple, money-making portfolio that only needs minor adjustments * Think creatively--there are so many ways to make money, but we don't see them. But most importantly, Sabatier highlights that, while one's ability to make money is limitless, one's time is not. There's also a limit to how much you can save, but not to how much money you can make. No one should spend precious years working at a job they dislike or worrying about how to make ends meet. Perhaps the biggest surprise: You need less money to "retire" at age 30 than you do at age 65. Financial Freedom is not merely a laundry list of advice to follow to get rich quick--it's a practical roadmap to living life on one's own terms, as soon as possible.

Book Side Hustles

Download or read book Side Hustles written by Mike Shirley and published by ProfitVestor. This book was released on 2021-07-24 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finances have been my passion for years because of how much it has opened my mind and heart to opportunities. Financial literacy has truly changed my life for the greater good and can most definitely change yours too. I have put in hours upon hours of research on many ways to create extra streams of income so that I can accelerate financial freedom. My passion for financial literacy has given me the urge to spread its gospel to the masses in hopes to help bring joy and wealth to those who grew up just like me. I spent most of my life financially illiterate and had no clue how to control my money. Once I read “Rich Dad Poor Dad” by Robert Kiyosaki I began to question everything I knew about finances and thus my financial journey began. I had to read countless books, articles, blogs, watch countless videos, and take many courses and seminars to learn what I know today and I continue to learn daily. This is why this book is so important for me to put together and get it into people’s hands so that they can do what they love and grow very wealthy in doing so. This book is by no means to make you quit your job, but after you fall in love with your side hustles you will make enough to give you that option. I decided to break this book into categories so that it can be digested easier and flow well. There may be side hustles in here that cease to exist after the release of this book due to unforeseen circumstances but I am sure you will find quite a few streams of income here and gain happiness in doing them. Remember that you should never pick a career, job, or side hustle solely based on the amount of pay, your happiness should always come first. With that being said let's go create multiple streams of income and be happy doing it. When picking side hustles from this book I encourage you to eventually pick from multiple categories here. For Example when you master a side hustle and build a stream of income from a local hustle go master a WIFI hustle as well, so that you diversify your side hustles. This is how you create multiple streams of income. It has been said that the rich have on average 7 streams of income. With the help of this book and some dedication from you I see you accomplishing that goal with ease and creating financial freedom for not only yourself but your entire family! Read through each category and pick 3 side hustles that you would be happy to do. Once you have them start putting actions behind the one you like most and give 100% focus to it in all the time you can spare from your normal job or career. This way you give all focus to this one hustle and can decide in time if it truly will make you happy. Once you have mastered it then you can start on your next hustle picks and master those. Drop any that you find that do not make you happy. If you don’t love what you do you will never be a success at it. We don’t want you to just be rich in wealth we need you to also be rich in happiness. Keep in mind that not all side hustles in this book will be thorough step by step instruction but will lead you in the correct path to take a learning journey in that hustle. To give multiple steps we would be writing for ages and we want you to get to work on your side hustle as soon as possible. Reading about it will not make you master it, the application and execution of what is written is what makes you a master of that hustle. Check us out at www.ProfitVestor.com

Book Startup Your Life

    Book Details:
  • Author : Anna Akbari
  • Publisher : St. Martin's Press
  • Release : 2016-12-27
  • ISBN : 125009917X
  • Pages : 241 pages

Download or read book Startup Your Life written by Anna Akbari and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2016-12-27 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A young entrepreneur and sociologist shows readers how to reach personal fulfillment using the same strategies that power Silicon Valley's greatest startups. As an entrepreneur, Anna Akbari learned that one of the best things about startups is their ability to “pivot” quickly—basically a euphemism for failing and starting over. And she quickly found that personal success is no different. It’s not just about developing and following the right process but also having a good idea. And that demands rigor and daily maintenance—far beyond a few positive affirmations. Like any Silicon Valley startup, the business of life is not as glamorous as its Instagram account would make it seem. What do you do when planning is not an option? When control is out of your reach? You isolate the small stuff, experiment constantly, and use the results to lay a more sustainable foundation for the future. You validate your idealized vision by testing it out in bite-sized increments. You see what sticks, integrate, and move forward. And inevitably, you experience a series of failures along the way, but those failures are key to your next success. Living a start up life is about maximizing flexibility and measuring on-going results, not avoiding failure or reaching one particular end goal. It's about embracing defeat, analyzing it, and failing up. In Startup Your Life, Akbari shows that after all, it's often the stumbles that pave the way for real happiness.

Book Hustle Harder  Hustle Smarter

Download or read book Hustle Harder Hustle Smarter written by Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2020-04-28 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER For the first time, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson opens up about his amazing comeback—from tragic personal loss to thriving businessman and cable’s highest-paid executive—in this unique self-help guide, his first since his blockbuster New York Times bestseller The 50th Law. In his early twenties Curtis Jackson, known as 50 Cent rose to the heights of fame and power in the cutthroat music business. A decade ago the multi-platinum selling rap artist decided to pivot. His ability to adapt to change was demonstrated when he became the executive producer and star of Power, a high-octane, gripping crime drama centered around a drug kingpin’s family. The series quickly became “appointment” television, leading to Jackson inking a four-year, $150 million contract with the Starz network—the most lucrative deal in premium cable history. Now, in his most personal book, Jackson shakes up the self-help category with his unique, cutting-edge lessons and hard-earned advice on embracing change. Where The 50th Law tells readers “fear nothing and you shall succeed,” Hustle Harder, Hustle Smarter builds on this message, combining it with Jackson’s street smarts and hard-learned corporate savvy to help readers successfully achieve their own comeback—and to learn to flow with the changes that disrupt their own lives.

Book The Index Card

Book excerpt: “The newbie investor will not find a better guide to personal finance.” —Burton Malkiel, author of A RANDOM WALK DOWN WALL STREET TV analysts and money managers would have you believe your finances are enormously complicated, and if you don’t follow their guidance, you’ll end up in the poorhouse. They’re wrong. When University of Chicago professor Harold Pollack interviewed Helaine Olen, an award-winning financial journalist and the author of the bestselling Pound Foolish, he made an off­hand suggestion: everything you need to know about managing your money could fit on an index card. To prove his point, he grabbed a 4" x 6" card, scribbled down a list of rules, and posted a picture of the card online. The post went viral. Now, Pollack teams up with Olen to explain why the ten simple rules of the index card outperform more complicated financial strategies. Inside is an easy-to-follow action plan that works in good times and bad, giving you the tools, knowledge, and confidence to seize control of your financial life.
