Running a Side Business
How to Create a Second Income
Attorney Richard Stim and Lisa Guerin, J.D
Your Business Companion
It seems like I’ve always had a side business. (The earliest one I can
remember was an after-school enterprise in which I charted my
friends’ biorhythms.) It wasn’t just the money; there were usually
other reasons. sometimes, I wanted to learn new skills—for example,
when I learned how to produce audiobooks. or, I wanted to exploit
and expand existing skills—for example, when I taught night classes for
paralegals. sometimes, I wanted
to create something from scratch
and to take a shot at the brass
ring—like when I began writ-
ing children’s stories. and when
I performed in bands, it was so
much fun that I couldn’t believe
that I also got paid. to para-
phrase Will rogers, I’ve never
met a side business I didn’t like.
one reason that side businesses
are so likeable is that they’re
always on the side. They don’t
exist to create a primary source of
income. The pressure is off. side
businesses create supplemental income, and, unlike your day job, you
call the shots. but the most surprising benefit of a side business is how it
affects your mind. It gives you something to think about, something to
manage, and something to root for. It’s a profitable daydream, a diversion
that improves your bottom line.
so, if a side business is so great, why hasn’t everyone started one? and
why is this the first book devoted totally to creating and running a side
business?
