Review by Booklist Review

Business coach, entrepreneur, and Inc.com columnist Brown takes a refreshing approach to career planning in this thoughtful and practical book. Drawing from a wide array of resources, Brown addresses the practical and personal aspects of career management. Readers will find his advice reassuring, as he advocates for recognizing both one's own inherent strengths and the value of previous on-the-job experience, even when it appears that previous experience might be irrelevant. Brown asserts that well-developed side hustles can become robust and sustainable careers and offers step-by-step advice for taking the leap, then proceeding gradually and prudently. Readers are reminded to consider work-life balance as well as the importance of creating their own measures for success. Brown ably weaves his own experiences into the narrative with insight and self-awareness. Passive income is discussed in great detail as a way to smooth out potential gaps in income that can accompany a career change. Recommended for career collections.
