Maya Angelou was a part time professor. Still love ya, Brother ❤️

Side hustles can be for fun while main hustles bring in the money.

"Those who can, do; those who can't, teach,"

That’s fine if you have the opportunity and means, but most of us don’t have the resources or ability to do that.

I'm going to apply it

I feel like side hustles should correlate with the main hustle. Side hustles are essential for some people trying to cultivate a particular profession, or reach a specific goal. Example:being an author, public speaker, and activist all coincide and propel the individual who multitasks such talents.

Years ago Bush the 2nd lauded Americans for having 2 or 3 jobs. He could not connect the dots to Americans not being able to make it with one. It was tone deaf then and sadly Mr. Galloway it is tone deaf now.

Somebody’s side hustle is acting on White Lotus!

My old boss told me, do one thing well. (Rather than 10 things badly). How can people master something if they’re pulled in too many directions. This esp in music. The old greats did music. The new bands all have day jobs & side hustles.

⚠️ The endgame is to privatize most government services ⚠️ Playing field is already skewed for the ultra wealthy. ⚠️ The top 2% received about 90% of the net wealth of the masses over the past 40+ years ⚠️You think we stand a chance to create a business that would replace these government agencies?

As a broke side-hustler, I can’t argue this. As someone who splits my time between my career and need to express myself through creative outlets, I can’t say I’ve had a choice though.

I would LOVE to have a lucrative deal with network news channels to appear on their shows. I guarantee the $$ you make from MSNBC, et al appearances are more than some people make in a year.

My new business started as a side hustle. Loved it so much I’ve been moving out of my first job. Retiring that one soon. :) It’s a great way to test out a new career.

Coincidence?

Multiple side hustles are as deceptive a path to wealth as “do what you love & the money will follow.” No it won’t unless you also dedicate all of your time, all of your effort, and everything that you do to take you one step closer to achieving your goal. Success doesn’t just magically happen.

You sound like my CEO! Lol

So don’t do the hustle.

I have a big dream I want to pursue. I'm currently looking to side hustles as a means to get to my big dream but it's also exhausting & time consuming. Your idea makes a lot of sense but requires some courage. I might as well cut through the chase and draw a bee line straight for the big dream. TY

Salaried people working 60 hours a week don’t see a return on that investment. Pay has not kept pace with productivity in decades. Side hustles are a way for people to close the ever widening gap between labor and the beneficiaries of economic growth. Not everyone uses them as get rich quick schemes

Yes, but serial would be doing them consecutively rather than in parallel.

Disagree. Read Range by David Epstein. Generalists are often much more successful than specialists in a noisy world.

Not too late to delete

Having multiple hustles pointing to one direction could be a good approach. The problem begins when multiple hustles pointing to different directions.

Excellent!

What do you think about Cabinet officers have two or three jobs.

And going all in doesn’t work for most people either. I don’t know why people refuse to admit that there always going to be “losers” when it comes to capitalism. It’s a function not a bug.

Some of us don't have that luxury ... Maya Angelou worked as a streetcar conductor, dancer, journalist, etc. - www.history.com/news/maya-an...

I thought it was a free world. It's your call what you do. Growing up working class, I watched my Dad do all sorts of side hustles to finance luxuries like my education. He forgot to tell us getting rich was a priority, but instead showed us how to live a rich life with not a ton of money.

Love Scott… but this kind of advice is so much easier to give when you’re worth hundreds of millions of dollars, have gigantic homes sprinkled across the planet, and don’t have to worry one second about any kind of medical insurances. It would be nice to live in Scott’s world, but most of us don’t.

it is hard to have BigPlans if you’re going to be Homeless or starving

While side hustles are maybe a little bit about money, they’re also about sanity.. a reminder that there’s more to you and more to the world than a primary gig that drains your soul. They offer a glimpse of what’s possible. The mental health benefits alone are worth it.

Think outside the box, Scott. I have a side hustle which is entirely related to my main focus.

It's funny how people with money.Tell people not to make extra money. It's just amazing. To everyone who has a side hustle, this guy's clown so keep working, make money.

I agree. Humans just are not capable of juggling that much. That would be like being the CEO of a Car Company, Rocket Company a Social Network and running the US government, NO ONE could do all of those well.

By that definition, companies should just focus on one thing. PepsiCo should sell only soda, not chips (Frito-Lay, Doritos) or breakfast cereal (Quaker Oats); GE does mfg and healthcare; Disney is movies, sports, media, theme parks; Amazon does online, retail, book devices, cloud computing

I agree with you a lot. I think this take is a little out of touch. People with far lesser means are trying to find ways to supplement their income. Are you thinking about those people and not tech fan boys who are creating side hustles?

Hustle sideways, upside down or any direction. As long as you propel yourself forward.

Survival vs wealth are two different things. I’ve always had a side job to help but my side hustle now is getting a second degree

This is not as easy as you say. I have a full-time job, the insurance of which supports my family including a disabled child. I ALSO have a side hustle that I focus on in the hopes that it can grow.

Does Scott Galloway possess any ability to read the room? Who the fuck needs these condescending lectures right now.

And it’s stressful to manage them all leaving little energy for the main event

How many different income sources does @profgalloway.com have? Why can't he focus on one?

You nail it. To many people are looking for the easy win.

Ok Prof!

Agree that focus is best. Unfortunately these days many full time jobs offer neither sufficient compensation nor upward career prospects to adequately support workers (esp young workers) for their present and future needs. Since healthcare in the US requires a full time job, we have side hustles.

I agree. The way through this is to unify citizens of like mind and vote. Numbers matter. We have been through hard times. Thanks for your comments.

I struggle with this. People of high intelligence often have a range of interests. How do you pick the one out of a variety of interests? How do you know when you are ready to make the jump? I am spread so thin already.

Love Scott! have read most of his books and listen to his podcast. Agree overall with this advice, I do however, think there's exceptions. I invest 100% of my side hustle, max our roth accounts yearly, pay into three 529's, and save money for another rental. I consider it another revenue stream.

I host a business podcast for educators. It would be great to have you as a guest on my show.

Where I live in rural red Michigan, it seems like everyone has a side hustle.
