Oh hey friends, thanks for tuning in today. I hope your month is going well so far. I hope

you're able to do something that's important to you. I hope you're able to focus and that's

always a big challenge for me. Sometimes I just kind of get stuck in doing either the

same things all the time or I'm not able to make progress on something that's important.

So I just kind of keep trying and I hope that you do the same, maybe not always trying

in the same way, right, trying different stuff. But just having a little bit of grace for

yourself as well, that's my wish for you as we dive into today's episode 2,349 of Side

Usal School. My name is Chris Gillibow. And today we got a question from Laura in Houston.

Laura is a dog trainer. I was going to say a professional dog trainer, but actually she

is a side hustling dog trainer. I'm not sure what her day job is, but on the side she is,

well, I guess, training dogs. And she wants to sell training equipment and toys. So she

wants to move from the service of being a dog trainer to selling a product, which of course

has much more potential for passive income and such. So let's settle in. Quick little sponsor

message, 30 seconds, then Laura's question. Her question and my answer, in fact, both of

those. We live in an increasingly automated world, but some things still require tedious

manual work. Well, luckily for e-commerce business owners and side hustlers shipping

is no longer a manual task, thanks to our partner shipstation. Big shout out to shipstation,

helping us out for seven years and beyond, helping out many of our listeners as well.

I always hear good things about shipstation from listeners who check out the free trial.

They often end up remaining customers for years. In fact, and that's because it's just

such a great service. You'd have to 84% off USPS and UPS rates. In fact, over 130,000

companies have grown their e-commerce businesses with shipstation. So check it out for yourself.
