3. Create a side hustle.
Let's discuss each of the options.
Option 1: Beg your current boss for a raise.

4. How will I sell what I build?
Network with like-minded people in your space.
20 firm believers are all you need.
They will:
- Encourage
- Recommend
- Amplify your voice
If each of your believers gets you 5 customers, that's 100 sales for you.
That's a good start.
