Imagine achieving the stability of a day job while enjoying the thrill of a startup. In this guide, Patrick McGinnis reveals how investing just 10% of your time and resources can allow you to embrace entrepreneurship without sacrificing your steady paycheck. He provides a step-by-step plan to help you identify your first entrepreneurial project and determine the best way to allocate your resources. McGinnis illustrates how to engage in projects that enhance your skills and provide additional income outside your day job.
