Hey there, friends welcome back to side hustle school. This is your house Chris Galippo and yesterday story. We talked about a paralegal who begins her side hustle, while on maternity leave. What's the day, I got a story for you about a new dad. Who's woodworking hobby turned into a source of new income. While his newborn son was napping, it's called a step above daycare and it's a great example of going from hobby to money, making all with no pressure, no risk and well maintained complete control, sounds like a great site us all right. I will bring you that no pressure, no restoring right after this quick, shut out to our sponsor Scotland has combined his interest in woodworking in business

great aside, hustle. It allows him to express his creativity and account director at an advertising agency by day Scott works on the business side up in clients, develop and organizing there at him paint on the other side, Scott Channels, his creativity, making rustic decorative ladders with his side, hustle step about dick work with the birth of his first child, Scots family receive a ton of beautiful blankets, some even handmade not wanting to just throw them into a closet for storage. Looking for, The display them Scott stumbled upon decorative wooden ladder, use for just that when I was growing up, he had learned some woodworking skills. They also used to build his own skateboard grounds we figure. This was something he could make himself, especially during his sons. Nap time, and he was right, while his son slumbering Scott crafted and soon had led in every room of the house. Rent your family came is, it would notice and they began making request for their own with a bit of encouragement from his wife. He posted a few of them in a local thyself Facebook group in Garner the interest of about twenty people. It also brought him his first

sale outside the family. That's when the light bulb really turned on. He said and given that it was his wife's encouragement to make that post, he took her out to dinner to celebrate the sale ever sent. Scott has been taking one night a week to make the ladders and the rest of the week. God sales. He started by saying to his local area. Through referrals those facebook buy and sell groups a platform, Kaliko Gigi, another one, cod, let go start up, costs were minimal. He already had all the tools and stains from previous projects, so it's just the cost of a lumber. He sells his letters for about fifty dollars each and the materials costs. Just five dollars since he's been focusing on free advertising, the other forty five dollars covers the blood, sweat and sawdust. Scott typically makes five letters a week. All in one night, in its average monthly profit is a bit more than nine

hours. Always woodworking began as a hobby. Scott isn't worried about losing any enjoyment. Having it turned into a small business is actually always had an interest in business and considers business a hobby to in its full time job. No two projects are ever the same. There is never truly a clear process that can be replicated from one to the other, but with a step above you get into a flow state allowing him to pop on his headphones and listen to pack asked plus he works on its projects during those nap times. So it doesn't miss out on valuable time with his son, we're working as a therapeutic departure from his day job and he enjoys the balance of repetitive. Creation of this project will probably always stay as aside Hustle Prescott. It's a nice perk that serves in fields his hobby, allowing Scott to use the money to take his family on vacations and as a creator, let it serves a different purpose in his career. He appreciates the balance between the two. Sometimes people ask: how is this particular site hustler going to grow like they listen?

but ever certainly say: let's nice he's making a thousand dollars a month or whatever it how you gonna grow there. The thing is: not every site also needs to grow the big business. That's not really his golden story thousand dollars a month Something you enjoy is not only perfectly reasonable. It's also a success. I think it's pretty cold that this guy gets to do. A different kind of work need us first day job it's creative. He likes it because of all those facts, there's no pressure, arrests and now he gets to see his work and other. Was HANS.
