I replaced my corporate salary by starting a photo booth business. Now, I coach entrepreneurs on finding their niche.
This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Ben Hawes, a comedy musician and side hustle coach based in New York City. It has been edited for length and clarity. I moved to New York when I was 22, and I was really in pursuit of security. My parents had steady jobs throughout their whole careers, and they were able to retire comfortably — I saw what their jobs had done for them, and I really wanted to climb the corporate ladder, too, so I joined ClassPass, which was a big, growing company at the time. I was making a name for myself there when, five years later, in 2020, the pandemic happened. The CFO said we were recession-proof, but we certainly were not pandemic-proof. When all the gyms closed, the company had to let go of a lot of people — I was one of them. I spent 10 months unemployed. During that time, one of the things I did to keep myself busy was build a job-hunting network that grew to about 250 people. It was a Slack channel and a blog, and it was a nice way for people to connect. But then I actually developed a merch store for it, and that's what became most successful about it. Shortly after that, I started my photo booth side hustle, called Rent My Booth. I'd go to events, and essentially just make people smile and have fun at parties with my booth, with fun backgrounds and props, and my camera. It wasn't enough to get by on its own at that point, so I started another corporate job. I was there for three years, and when I got laid off again in January 2024, it was the catalyst I needed to finally accept the fact that I just need to do my own stuff and be on my own, making my living from my own endeavors. Now, I have a few small businesses to diversify my income streams. I still do my photo booths, and I tour performing musical comedy in New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. I'm scaling my business up, but I make enough to pay my bills. With just 10 photo booth events a month, I can replace my corporate salary, which takes about 60 hours of work at the events, plus an hour or two a day to promote the business and do administrative things. My friends started noticing that I was always busy with some new project. I'm a doer, and a lot of creative people get in their head about how to get started, whether that's launching a new website, starting a podcast, or opening a business of their own. It was a friend who actually suggested that I start teaching people how I do it. So I started coaching I wrote a book on Amazon called "How to Start" about finding and starting a side hustle. I started meeting with people on a weekly basis who would have an idea, and I would basically help them bring it to life. What I do is not really business coaching, because I don't think that what I'm necessarily going to be the best at is training you over two years to make your business successful, but what I am really good at is helping you bring an idea to life. It's more like creative launch consulting, so if someone wanted to start a Shopify store or an Etsy store, start a podcast, or start something else for their business or even just something for themselves, I'm someone who can really help get you going. That often takes the form of creative services and content production, because I find that what a lot of people really need are the technical skills of making a website, or editing a podcast, and things like that. But I'm also there to be a cheerleader and help you get out of your own way. I coach people one-on-one, but I realized one of the interesting things about side hustle coaching is that someone who needs an extra $300 a month probably shouldn't be paying a coach $1,000 a month. So, to make it more accessible, I make it about content creation, and I do some workshops that people can pay $10 or $20 to attend. When I talk to a new client for side hustle coaching, I start by telling them that it requires optimism and an ability to rise above the highs and the lows. To go full-time with your endeavors is not a one-month thing; it's not something you do quickly. You build over time. And I stress to them that I'm working every day. I don't really have weekends, every day I'm doing something for the sale of a photo booth or building a website or some kind of creative endeavor. The other big thing is that you have to be authentic. If you think of the fundamentals of business, they're all about relationships and customer service, and it has to be genuine. It has to be something you care about deeply and that you will be OK with spending 18 hours a day on. If you're trying to put out something that doesn't feel authentic or feels half-assed, double-check with yourself that you're proud of it. And if you yourself are proud of it, you will be more likely to be successful as an entrepreneur, because in order to thrive at a side hustle, you have to talk about it all the time and promote yourself constantly. Don't fall for some online guide that tells you that you can make $10,000 a month in three simple steps; it takes real work to rely on yourself full-time. But you've got to choose your challenge. It's hard to work for yourself, but it's hard to work for someone else, too. So decide which one you'd rather do, be bold, and go for it.

How to score big savings on the best Caribbean cruises
How to score big savings on the best Caribbean cruises Show Caption Hide Caption MSC World America: The most American cruise ship yet MSC World America, the newest ship from MSC Cruises, features 19 dining venues, 18 bars and lounges and many more. How to score big savings on the best Caribbean cruises Last-minute deals are a surefire way to save big when booking a Caribbean cruise, but let's be honest: Most of us can't cut it that close. Taking off work, securing flights for the whole family, and finding a stateroom that can comfortably accommodate everyone (and that is in a desirable location of the ship) all become a heck of a lot harder to do when you're a few weeks or even months away from departure. Let's not add that unnecessary stress to our plates, OK? With a little strategizing, you can snag an unbeatable discount on one of the best Caribbean cruises for families. You can save even more with kids sail free promos, which are offered by nearly every major line. Bonus add-ons such as $100 in onboard credit, 'free' gratuities, and specialty restaurant inclusions further boost the value of your bottom line. So, where to start? The best places to search for deals are on cruise planning websites (which feed you offers from many online travel agencies) and directly on the cruise lines' sites. You can also keep tabs on deals by subscribing to email lists for alerts. Broaden your results by signing up with multiple cruise sites and lines. Once you're tapped into a network of deals, it's time to put some money-saving tools into play. Here are three ways to score big savings on the best Caribbean cruises for families. FIND YOUR MATCH: From kids to teens to grandparents, these are 12 best family cruise lines for all ages 1. Book a cruise during 'wave season' Think of wave season as the cruise industry's Amazon 'Prime Day' – only this buying window stretches for a few months. Every year from January through March, cruise lines roll out some of their most competitive prices after the holidays wind down. Deals advertised during wave season entice travelers to 'hit the waves,' so the cruise lines can fill their ships for the year(s) ahead. This is a win-win for the lines and families, who can save a pretty penny on sailings that give them plenty of time to plan. GO BEYOND: 101 fresh new family vacation ideas for the best trip ever Just about every major line gets involved in wave season. You'll find deals on all types of ships – including big, small, and expedition – and itineraries. Occasionally, cruise lines offer discounts on sailings during more sought-after times of year, like mid-summer or holidays. Common wave season deals include discounts of up to 50% off, BOGO offers, onboard credits, and extras such as free cabin upgrades and complimentary packages. 2. Be strategic with Black Friday and Cyber Monday specials Not all Black Friday and Cyber Monday promos are good deals. Some lines have even been known to raise prices around this time. The true value typically lies in more generous extras like significantly reduced deposits, 'free' shore excursions, and higher onboard credits. Some lines will also have an option to include airfare. Sign up for deal alerts on the best Caribbean cruises for families, at least a few months beforehand, to glean how prices and offers are trending. This will allow you to spot a deal better when you see one. You don't need to wait until the end-of-month retail rumpus, either. A handful of Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals are quietly made available in early November. CARIBBEAN DREAMS: These 6 cruise lines offer the best Caribbean cruises for families Additionally, some cruise lines will advertise a deal for Black Friday or Cyber Monday, and keep it rolling through wave season – only rebranding it and perhaps refreshing some of the extras. So, don't get discouraged if you're financially stretched too thin during the holiday season, and not quite ready to book. 3. Plan to cruise during the fall September, October, and November are among the cheapest months of the year to cruise in the Caribbean. There are two reasons for this: It's hurricane season, and kids are back in school, so the demand is much lower. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 through November 30. Any ship sailing within this time frame technically has a greater chance of being rerouted away from a storm. Despite all this, June, July, and August are some of the most popular months for Caribbean cruises. However, that's not the case for the latter part of hurricane season, which peaks from mid-August to mid-October. NO HIDDEN FEES: 7 best all-inclusive cruise lines in the world Even with a higher probability of storm activity, the chances of your cruise being affected are still relatively low. In the most likely scenario, you would have to call at a different port or spend an extra day at sea in order to move further away from a storm's path. You also might run into some rain or choppy seas, but that can happen at any time of the year. If you don't have your heart set on a particular destination, and your family is down to go with the flow, then sailing in the fall might be your ticket to the best Caribbean cruises for families. Want to slash your chances of getting seasick? Consider a Southern Caribbean itinerary. Due to their southern location and climates, islands such as St. Lucia and Aruba rarely see tropical activity.

I Went To The Amazon Prime Analyst Day. Here's What I Learned.
Last week, I attended Amazon's first-ever Prime Analyst Day in Seattle. It was a valuable opportunity to hear firsthand from senior executives who updated us on Amazon's latest innovations and strategic direction. Here are five key takeaways. Daniel Rausch, Vice President, Alexa and Echo, gave us a demo of the new generative AI-enabled Alexa. It's smarter, more intuitive and more personalized. 'Amazon's strategy is to help shoppers get things done,' Rausch told us. While the old Alexa was mainly about replenishment tasks, Alexa+ can help shoppers explore more – increasingly important for a marketplace selling millions of products. The first-ever Amazon Prime Analyst Day took place in Seattle in June 2025. Using the larger Echo Show displays, Rausch asked Alexa to help him find a cowboy hat for a Beyoncé concert. He then built a grocery list by asking for specific products as well as ingredients for a recipe. The fluidity of the conversation, the speed of the results, ease of modifications, and the visual cues made for an impressive experience. I've never been overly optimistic about voice commerce, but I think this could be a gamechanger. I asked whether Amazon felt their grocery offering was differentiated enough, especially given that competitors have raised their game in recent years. Do shoppers really understand the Amazon value proposition? The answer: price, selection, and convenience is Amazon's USP. I'd argue that in grocery it's difficult to achieve all three, but Amazon believes that it's well positioned to deliver on this. 'Over the past 20 years, grocery shopping has actually gotten more complicated,' said Meredith Bunche, Director, Amazon Grocery. 'Grocers offer so much choice today, and that has created a larger mental load for people who just want to get their groceries.' In fact, throughout the day, there was a strong emphasis on Amazon's ability to reduce the cognitive load for shoppers, busy families in particular. That's certainly a sweet spot for Amazon and perhaps one of the incentives to start consolidating grocery and non-food orders in same-day fulfilment centres. 'Customers may not realize they can buy a tomato on Amazon for same-day delivery,' said Sarah Mathew, Vice President, Global Delivery Experience. Perishables is an important category as it drives repeat purchasing, but Amazon's real strength is in everyday essentials. Think diapers, potato chips, pet food, toothpaste. This category grew twice as fast of the rest of the business in Q1, now representing 1 in 3 units sold in the US. Even though Prime isn't just about delivery perks these days, it's important that Amazon continues to improve on speed. Out of the 26 countries where Prime is available today, Jamil Ghani, Worldwide Vice President of Amazon Prime, mentioned Japan as an example of a fast delivery market, where most of Amazon's selection is available for one-day or same-day delivery, with everyday essentials among the most speed sensitive. Jamil Ghani, Worldwide Vice President of Amazon Prime Sarah Mathew noted how, contrary to popular belief, same-day delivery can be incredibly cost-effective. And it certainly powers that flywheel. 'Every time we get faster, we see customers come back more often,' she said. As with any subscription, retention is critical for Amazon Prime. Ghani noted how over 70,000 members have been with Prime since its initial launch in 2005. That is phenomenal loyalty and reminds me of a quote from Jeff Bezos: 'Our goal with Amazon Prime, make no mistake, is to make sure that if you are not a Prime member, you are being irresponsible.' This is why Amazon continues to invest in new benefits, particularly those with frequent usage like food delivery apps Grubhub in the US and Deliveroo in the UK. Ghani noted that there is a 'huge increase' in retention for those members who use a second Prime benefit. It's also why they've raised the annual fee just three times over the past two decades. In fact, when adjusted for inflation, the fee has only increased marginally ($131 versus the actual $139). Ghani doesn't like to call Prime a loyalty programme, as he told me on my Retail Disrupted podcast. He believes Amazon aspires for much more than a transactional relationship; in fact, Prime has become a utility for many households. 'You pay a little more to get a whole lot more,' Ghani said. One of things he is most excited about is live sports. 'It punches above its weight in terms of differentiation and longevity. Those members are shopping, not just coming to watch the game and moving on.' Ghani also noted how Prime is not a breakage model. 'The more a member uses Prime, the happier we are. We don't want to be a gym where we sign people up in January and everyone stops going in February.' And, finally, he confirmed that Prime is not a loss leader. High velocity events like Prime Day drive customer acquisition. Yes, there is churn but even those customers – the ones who trial Prime but don't go on to become members - are valuable. They are much more likely to continue shopping with Amazon, having had that experience. Amazon may not be invincible, but it certainly remains one of the most innovative, customer-centric businesses in the world. As Daniel Rausch put it, 'We know how to disrupt ourselves before someone else can.'
