This was a DNF for me. Just not what I was expecting and not what I was looking for. ..................

Thank you for sending me this galley, however unfortunately I was unable to access this book on my e-reader.

This book is a relatively quick read with lots of good advice as to how to select a side-hustle (i.e. a job that makes you money on the side of your 'real' job until it perhaps can become your real job), make money at it, which pitfalls to avoid and how to approach certain trickier parts.
There's nothing new or earth-shattering in this book, so if you have read several books in the genre you may find it short of new ideas, but if this is your first "dipping the toe in the water", this book could well be right for you and the wisdom of author's advice, based on her own experiences cannot be denied.

Do you have a passion or a hobby that has nothing to do with 9-5 job? Then, this book is for you. Susie Moore is a life coach and advises high-growth startups in Sillicon Valley. She has written a book just for you, if your answer to my previous question was yes or may be. It's called What If It Does Work Out? - How a Side Hustle Can Change Your Life.

The freelance workforce in America is around 35% and sites like Upwork are doing $1 billion business. This is the "gig" economy. If you are willing to do the work hard, you can turn your hobbies and interests into lucrative side hustle or a small business that generates an income for you. This book offers insight and tips to guide you along your journey or get you started on path to earn an extra source of income.

Common problems one face when getting started with their side hustle are fear of failure and hesitation. Moore's words will help you overcome these common difficulties or personal demons as I like to call them. She also offers guidance on planning stages for your side hustle. You will find tips on using the power of visualisation to brainstorm ideas and think pragmatically. Managing one's time is the main focus of her advice through out the book that includes being efficient in selling what you do (whether a service or a product) and promoting the same.

The writing style is energetic and easy to grasp. She has provided inspirational stories from current successful entrepreneurs such as of Spanx and MindBodyGreen. The author knows what she is offering to her reader and I think this book can be a good source of motivation for side hustlers out there.

4 out of 5!

This was certainly very inspiring and delivered exactly as the title suggests. I was looking for something a little different from it, as an aspiring author with the hopes of this becoming my full-time career (aren't we all!), and this was suited more to those who wish to create alongside another income source. I still found this a lovely motivational guide, nonetheless, and is all the encouragement anyone would desire, to motivate them in making their creative pursuits a business venture.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to the author, Susie Moore, and the publisher, Ixia Press, for this opportunity.

I received an ARC of "What if it does work out?" for free through NetGalley in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.

I think I might've really enjoyed this book had it not been for the millions of spelling errors and missing letters. This will have to go under "Did Not Finish" for me.

Does say what you would expect it to say, not much more

The author tells us much about her own path, although I would love to know what type of $500,000 occupation you left, and she quotes othes well known in the side hustle and coaching fields.
My honest opinion, the main appeal of this book will be to readers under 35, knowing full well age is ambiguous. It is the energy and feel of the book more so than the actual words and suggested exercises that will motivate and resonate with readers.
