1. Here’s How You Can Start a Side Business in 10 Minutes Per Day – Inc

I don’t agree that 10 minutes per day is enough to start and maintain a side business, but I like the idea behind the article – even if you’re swamped with work and chores, spend some time on your side business on a consistent basis because the effort adds up.

• Noticing problems that do not have solutions yet (protip: hang out with complainers for a bit and you’ll know)
• Something you’ve always wanted to learn (I wanted to know how to build websites; RoR was born this way)
• Skills that you learned from your job or hobby (easiest example: doctors who moonlight on the side)
