No time like the present to start thinking about that side hustle you've always dreamed about. If a global pandemic doesn't get you motivated, I'm not sure what will.

And if you are raking in some extra cash on the side, there will be tax consequences! That's why we're happy to bring you another episode that's sponsored by H&R Block.

As you're getting ready to file your taxes, remember that H&R Block has all your tax needs covered. Their experts have an average of 10 years’ experience. They’ve seen it all and can help get all the credits and deductions you deserve.

Okay, now back to your side hustle.

Do you have to be an “entrepreneur,” replete with a big, fat business plan in hand, to make a little extra cash on the side?

What if I told you that in 27 days you can come up with an idea, implement it, and potentially start making some extra income on the side?

That is what you call a side hustle, which also happens to be the title of a book from Chris Guillebeau, who's nice enough to join us this weekend.

While the thought of quitting your day job to pursue a business of your own may be intoxicating and even escapist, it may also be a bit unrealistic. Most of us can’t just up and quit a job that delivers a regular paycheck and benefits, to boot.

But what if you could quickly and easily create an additional stream of income without giving up the security of a full-time job? Enter Chris and the side hustle.
