100 Ways to Make the Time, Energy and Priorities to Start a Business, Book or Blog
Focuses on creative side projects Author achieved $35,000 income Offers 75% off video course Shares productivity techniques Lacks time and energy

One of the fastest paths to success described here is starting a new project such as a business, blog, book, or other creative endeavor. The book argues that side projects can produce extra income, greater fulfillment, and a more enjoyable career, yet many people lack the time, energy, or life priorities to start and complete them.

Author Bryan Cohen presents his methods based on personal results and practice. He reports earning more than $35,000 from his side business Build Creative Writing Ideas and writing 30 books that sold more than 20,000 copies. He says he refined his creativity techniques through reading, conferences, trial and error, and hundreds of hours of practice, and the book includes a 75% off access bonus to his Udemy video course.

Bryan Cohen lays out productivity techniques so people who lack time, energy, or priorities can start and complete creative side projects like businesses or books.
