I was like so many of you: I worked in a full time job, but the money wasn’t enough (it’s never enough, right?) so I started a little side business. Little did I know, in a few months my side gig would start earning me more money than my full time salary!
Fast forward to today, and that little side gig has become a family business where I work with my sons: IT varsity.
Today, I teach others how to start businesses.
My advice to you is, start today. Who knows where you will be in a few years?
