    Selling at soccer match. Which product do you recommend?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Dang, never thought I need a license. Gotta get the license fast before the event. Beers could be a good idea, although they won't allow selling alcohol. I like the water bottle idea. Cheap to obtain a whole bunk, and easy to keep them cold.

    EXECUTION 
    Outsourcing is an important skill. Better to learn it now. For example, I have to cut a pdf file in several pieces. I couldn't do it in 3 hours. Rather than wasting more time, I just hire someone on Upwork to do it.
