Whether you're looking to earn extra cash or dream of quitting your day job, this conversation delivers the practical blueprint you've been searching for.

We meet creative entrepreneur Georgia Norton Lodge who offers brutally honest advice about what it actually takes to build a sustainable side hustle. She shares the exact steps that helped her transform a $35 product into a $500 one, and how a single email to her database once made her $16,000.

Plus you’ll learn:
- the Venn diagram approach to identifying your perfect side hustle
- six practical steps to get started (even with no time or budget)
- realistic timelines and expectations
- when to know if your side hustle is working (or when to let it go)

Check out Georgia’s courses and workshops, and you can follow her on LinkedIn and Insta.
