Summary

#799 Is it possible to build a business while working a traditional job? How do you know when it's time to go all-in on your side gig, and what are the things to consider before taking the leap? Also, what about growing a brand that complements your full-time work? These are the questions we explore in today's episode. My guest, Eric Chou of Network Automation Nerds, is a leader in his highly technical niche. He is an author and former Amazon and Microsoft employee leveraging his expertise to build a brand and community alongside his current high-paying job. Eric is applying strategies we often discuss on this show and within SPI Pro to engage his followers and readers in a big way. Tune in for this success story because some of his LinkedIn Learning courses have now attracted over ten thousand students. Enjoy! Show notes and more at SmartPassiveIncome.com/session799.

0:03.2	When it comes to hiring don't go searching for the one. Just meet your match with

1:16.6	where I have to make a decision.
1:18.2	You can't continue.
1:19.2	It's not sustainable to always having to work full-time job and having three or four different projects at the same time.
