Happy New Year! In this episode of Edelman Financial Engines’ Everyday Wealth™, we present an encore presentation of one our most requested shows – “How to start a small business or side hustle.”

When you’re starting a small business or a side hustle, there are many important factors to consider to help make it a success. In this episode, Jean is joined by wealth planner Andy Smith as she shares her journey from side gigs to becoming a small-business owner and what she learned along the way. Later in the episode, Rich Lahijani, a director of tax advisory and planning at Edelman Financial Engines, joins the conversation to talk about tax considerations, including what you typically can and can’t write off with your new business.

Ms. Chatzky receives cash compensation for acting as host of the Everyday Wealth podcast and for related activities and therefore has an incentive to endorse Edelman Financial Engines and its planners. That compensation is a fixed sum paid on an annual basis; and reimbursement for certain expenses. The amount paid each year does not vary, is not based on show content or any results-dependent factors (e.g., popularity of the show).
