From Side Hustle to a Real Business
Your side hustle is making money. But is it built to become something more?
There is a difference between generating income and building a business that can operate, grow, and create sustainable value. For many entrepreneurs, the challenge isn't whether people will buy what they offer—they've already proven that. The next question is whether the structure behind the hustle can support where they want to go.
A side hustle sells your spare time. A real business builds a system.
Join Center of Hope Community Development Corporation's BE3 Program for From Side Hustle to a Real Business, a free 90-minute webinar designed for entrepreneurs who are ready to take a closer look at what they're building—and what it will take to move forward.
During this conversation, we'll explore the transition from earning money through a skill, service, or product to developing the financial, operational, and strategic foundation of a sustainable business.
You'll leave with:
Clarity about what you're building — Do you want an income-producing side venture, or are you working toward a business designed to grow?
A better understanding of the numbers — What should you know about revenue, costs, capacity, and the financial realities of moving beyond the side hustle?
A concrete next step — Identify a practical 90-day priority that can move your venture closer to where you want it to go.
The webinar will be moderated by Alan Frelix, Director of the BE³ Program and Managing Partner of Nexturn Management Group, and feature Cedric Penix, bringing expertise in finance and accounting, and Eden Warner, executive coach and former CFO of Fandango.
Together, they'll bring perspectives from business strategy, finance, operations, and executive leadership to a practical conversation about what separates making money from building a business.
