About Edgar and His Blog

Every day I’m hustling…not really, but I’ve always wanted to say that!

Hi!

Edgar Escoto here, Writer and Head Dork of this blog.

I’m a dad to two cool kids. After that, I’m a Corporate Finance guy by day, entrepreneur, and writer after dark. Like most people, I have my ups and downs, which can be stressful, but I learn something new every day.

I started this site because I believe in the hustle. After all, what’s riskier: starting a business, or relying on your job as your only source of income?

Like I said, I work full-time, but I’m building my biz nights and weekends. You can do it too.

I’m not here to sell you on the idea that you can go from having a full-time job to being a successful entrepreneur overnight. Anyone who makes that promise is full of shit. But I can show you how to go from zero to one – how to take the very first step.

Everyone has their own reasons to side hustle:

  • Earn more money
  • Pay off debt
  • Learn new skills
  • Use free time more productively
  • Make an impact

What’s my reason? These two selfish selfie takers…

I believe in you. Whatever your reason, I’m here to help. This site shows my successes and failures, as well as the actionable lessons life has given me. My life is not all about business and working, so I’ll also share some of the personal stuff too.

This is about the experiments along the way, the journey. But it’s also about building a future of real financial freedom.

You have the power to steer your own financial destiny.

Take the first step and join me.
