So doing any kind of side hustle is always a lot more work than it seems, especially with a demanding job and being a parent - having a side hustle is really about prioritising what to do, what not to do and when to do/not do the thing.  

• daily writing - even if it's only a few words, writing and making content is the key to making progress
• serving my audience - yes primarily through writing and content creation
• learning and seeking new experiences - trying new ideas, they may not always work, but they may lead me to break new ground that I may not otherwise have found.   

As you may know, I got an audible subscription and have been going through audio books at quite a rate.  

This year I listened to so many books.  

Even though these books weren't written in 2022, it was the year that I listened to them and learnt so much.  

This year, there were two books that completely change my view and approach, as it pertains to the side hustle culture.

These are 'Make Time' by Jake Knapp and John Zeratsky

I liked this book so much so, that I even made a YouTube video on the key takeaways from this book here

Feel free to give my channel a subscribe while you're there :). 

You can get 'Make Time' on Amazon* here https://amzn.to/3zH6dsS

The other book that completely transformed my point of view and approach was 'This is Marketing' by Seth Godin. 

Seth Godin is one of my favourite people to listen to and is a real thought leader in marketing - you can get his book here on Amazon - https://amzn.to/3GuLcEV, it's a great listen, I really recommend it.

Audible has been a game changer for me, as it allows me to listen to books while exercising, going for walks and even while gardening.
