QUOTES

Delay until you have a good enough body of work for consulting - Scott: "I didn't get into consulting to replicate what I can earn in a W2 role. I got into consulting and doing my own thing so that I can add a zero on top of it. But if I would have tried to do that after a year or two of experience, I never would have made it."

Deciding when it's time to do consulting from doing things for free - Scott: "I have enough of a reputation out there of being helpful and doing this stuff and enough people who've gone on to succeed that I have to put up a filter to protect my time."

Succeed first in your main roles - Scott: "Side income is not commission replacement, that's not the way to look at it. The side hustle income should be augmenting your full on-target earnings and your commission. You're definitely thinking of it backwards if it's a replacement."
