This chapter discusses the importance of learning new skills and how to apply them to side hustles and businesses. It provides tips on asking for a raise and earning money outside of regular employment, and emphasizes the need for a side hustle to make money rather than investing a lot of money to learn something new. The difference between a side hustle and a side business is explained through examples of Linda and Rihanna, and the importance of finding a balance between making money and pursuing passion is highlighted.
#474: When Tiffany Aliche was in her 20’s, she fell victim to a credit card scam.
A crafty swindler convinced her to take out a cash advance against her credit card for $35,000. He said that he’d invest the money and produce Bernie Madoff-style returns. She was an inexperienced investor. She believed him.
