  Whether you want to find a side hustle that generates extra income while you keep your day job or start a small business to eventually grow into a larger business, there are a few important considerations you need to think about. This course covers the six most vital aspects of a perfect side gig.  A side gig should be something that makes you money and doesn’t cost you money. It shouldn’t take a lot of your time, either. Your time and money are precious and limited resources.   Many budding entrepreneurs start a side gig without realizing it is a real business that’s going to require a lot of time and money, and unfortunately, find they can’t sustain it. Others start a business that causes a lot of undue stress and puts them at financial risk or legal liability.  There’s a difference between starting a business that needs all of your time and money, and a “side gig” that has low risk and helps you make a steady stream of income. Learn the difference, and start applying the principles Dana Robinson teaches to help you find the perfect side hustle.  This course will show you how to evaluate business opportunities in a way that helps you avoid wasting your time, causing you stress and costing you money. Most importantly, this course will give you positive and encouraging ways to approach a side gig business, and gently encourage you to move out of your comfort zone in order to find and grow an income generating side hustle.

  Going far beyond previous empirical work, John Kotter and James Heskett provide the first comprehensive critical analysis of how the "culture" of a corporation powerfully influences its economic performance, for better or for worse. Through painstaking research at such firms as Hewlett-Packard, Xerox, ICI, Nissan, and First Chicago, as well as a quantitative study of the relationship between culture and performance in more than 200 companies, the authors describe how shared values and unwritten rules can profoundly enhance economic success or, conversely, lead to failure to adapt to changing markets and environments.With penetrating insight, Kotter and Heskett trace the roots of both healthy and unhealthy cultures, demonstrating how easily the latter emerge, especially in firms which have experienced much past success. Challenging the widely held belief that "strong" corporate cultures create excellent business performance, Kotter and Heskett show that while many shared values and institutionalized practices can promote good performances in some instances, those cultures can also be characterized by arrogance, inward focus, and bureaucracy -- features that undermine an organization's ability to adapt to change. They also show that even "contextually or strategically appropriate" cultures -- ones that fit a firm's strategy and business context -- will not promote excellent performance over long periods of time unless they facilitate the adoption of strategies and practices that continuously respond to changing markets and new competitive environments.Fundamental to the process of reversing unhealthy cultures and making them more adaptive, the authors assert, is effective leadership. At the heart of this groundbreaking book, Kotter and Heskett describe how executives in ten corporations established new visions, aligned and motivated their managers to provide leadership to serve their customers, employees, and stockholders, and thus created more externally focused and responsive cultures.
