In episode 33 of The Side Hustle Show, I’m joined by Virginia Roberts from TheHeartographer.com. Virginia shares an awesome story of side hustle success, turning a personal skill into a hobby, then into a part-time coaching business, eventually quitting her job to be a full-time entrepreneur.
The conversation revolves around Virginia’s coaching business, but there are a ton of parallels that can apply to really any niche coaching business. This is a good one.
Big shout-out to Kai Davis from Episode 4 for the introduction.

I was excited to hear about this cool little business because it just goes to show you there are opportunities everywhere. Can you apply Virginia’s lessons and strategies to your own side hustle?
Also, what do you think about the listener question — should side hustlers put their business on LinkedIn?
