It's going to be a big year. And January is when so many of us set goals for our business,

for all the things we want to achieve. And in a small business or a side hustle, even,

cash flow can make or break you. So if your money gets tied up, if your tools don't connect,

every decision feels unnecessarily stressful. Maybe it's time to switch to Intuit QuickBooks's

money management tools. Big shout out to QuickBooks,

our sponsor, start the year with confidence about your goals. Learn more at quickbooks.com

Let me.

Let's talk today about a former sound engineer from Texas with an $80,000 a year side hustle handing out free maps.

These maps go to hotels, which then give them to their guests.

And he, this hustling engineer that is the subject of our case study today, he gets paid by advertisers.

And by doing so, he's built a

diversified income. He gets paid from a lot of different businesses. So if some disappear or don't

have money for ads or otherwise just drop off the map or something, he's got plenty more.

He also has his eye on taking his idea nationwide by allowing people to franchise the model.

Have you ever lost your way while looking for the fine dining of Outback Steakhouse or TGI Fridays? Some of my favorite restaurants.

Let's not forget IHop Applebee's. There's so many others. If so, put a pin in it. We'll be back

at the proper latitude and longitude right after this shout out to our sponsor.

Stay tuned.
