Clever Girl Finance: The Side Hustle Guide

Bola Sokunbi · 2021
73/100
👍 Worth It

Bola Sokunbi built a real finance-education platform before writing this, and it shows — the book is organized, approachable, and walks you step by step through building and branding a side business. A few readers found parts too basic if they've already started a business, and it occasionally nudges toward the author's other paid resources, but as a starting point it's genuinely solid.
