| 0:00.0 | Hello, hello, what's up? Welcome back. My name is Chris Gillipo. This is SideHussell School. |
| 0:11.6 | The only show bringing you a daily story of someone who creates a new source of income |
| 0:16.5 | without quitting their job. Now, as I've been on the road for the mega side hustle |
| 0:20.6 | book tour, I've been getting a ton of questions and I noticed that these questions fit a number |
| 0:24.9 | of themes. Gotta say that probably the most frequently asked theme I get, or at least |
| 0:30.1 | in the top three, are questions about failure? Like what do you do about the fear of failure? |
| 0:36.0 | How many times have you failed? How do you come back from a failure? How do you limit the |
| 0:40.4 | costs or the consequences of a failure? And so on. And earlier in the year, we did a little |

| 1:09.1 | along the way so that as you try, you have more experience, you have a better idea of |
| 1:12.7 | what will work and what won't eventually you'll arrive at that success, the thing that |
| 1:16.2 | you're looking for, or whatever your side hustle goal is. And today's story in particular |
| 1:19.5 | is about a telecom manager who gets paid to write resumes for LinkedIn connections. We |
| 1:25.4 | can also call this a case study and how to use LinkedIn to discover a service you can offer |
| 1:29.7 | to people who are already following you. The other day, I think it was actually the |
| 1:32.8 | beginning of this week we talked about someone who was using Pinterest, almost exclusively |
| 1:36.6 | for her marketing. Well, LinkedIn, as you probably know, is all about careers, employment, |
