I love how you're putting out content like these for free. It's extremely valuable for me as someone who's just starting out with a side hustle! … Your newsletter has been a fantastic resource for me!

I'm currently working on starting my own company. Dexter's newsletter content has helped me a lot with tool suggestions and practical advice from some interesting individuals with different paths to success. Portfolio Path helped me discover new AI and other tools to speed up my workflow. Subscribing to the Portfolio Path newsletter is a no-brainer.
Ex-Meta Chief of Staff
Thank you again for the session! I found it very clarifying. It really helped me get a stronger sense of scale and focus for the next steps, especially as I begin shaping the path forward alongside the new role. Appreciate your partnership in this. It has made a difference.

I'm working on creating a coaching program based on my social content (Wealth Building). Before the blueprint, I waited 6 months before publishing a guide and sales stalled after 2-3 months. The blueprint gave me the framework to test and helped me create a test first habit. I've shifted my mindset from 100% ready before testing to action first, adjust as you go! .

I'm an ex-Big Tech employee who wanted to explore a Fractional role and I secured my first client during the cohort. It was comprehensive, providing me a step-by-step structure on how to frame my offer, including looking for my target clients and executing on it. The weekly office hours also helped me with asking questions about real life experiences.

Dexter is a knowledgeable coach leveraging his extensive product knowledge to inspire senior professionals to launch consultancies and build a portfolio career. I discovered Dexter through his newsletter, sharing tips and stories every Sunday about pivoting from "live to work" to "work to live." He also offers 1:1 coaching, where I found a lot of value refining my big “why” and roadmap.
Jonathan Sullivan
Digital Product & Services Leader
This newsletter’s topic was not one that I was personally interested in, but I found myself reading the whole thing anyway. I love how you take a personal experience on a topic, break it down, and then translate it into practical advice.
Rachel Porcelli

The channel selection lesson was really helpful! I also appreciated the pricing formula and the pointers on listening for pain points.Thank you for your generosity with sharing your knowledge.
Group Project Manager, Rakuten
This is a program, that I would highly recommend to anyone looking to start a portfolio career. Enjoyed it so much
Founder, Floridge Exports
It was a steep learning curve to finding my niche but learning from your method early on to think deeply and iterate was a game changer! Thank you so much for your contribution to the business community.
Shaun
The course is really helpful to scope out what you have to do to get started in your side hustle journey. Thanks Dexter for being so supportive in our journeys!
Kevin Dave
Full Stack Engineer at Request Finance
Dexter is an amazing coach and everything that he taught is comprehensive. The course was eye opening. It helped me to see my potential and strength so that I can choose the right side hustle to start. I joined the Remote Side Hustle course to learn more about building a side hustle which eventually could becoming a business. My initial idea was to work on consulting for software engineering or remote work related topics. In this course, I learned a lot about bootstrapping a side hustle. My side hustle is still in the early days but with the course resources, I believe that I can continue my own journey to build my side hustle (with the help of the community too).
Victor Luo
Project Manager / Consultant
I'm already working on one side hustle in selling Japanese bath products with my partner and applying some of the lessons to our business. Whether you're at the start of your side hustle journey or looking to expand your existing side hustle, I highly recommend this course as a great foundation to help break through the fear barrier and just have a go. As a result of taking this course, I've gained more knowledge and confidence to navigate the challenges of starting and running a side hustle business. Thanks Dexter for creating this valuable course.
Shannelle Chua
I learned so many new frameworks with this course! Dexter takes such a professional approach to the creation of a side hustle, which I have not encountered anywhere else.
Emma
Associate Client Executive @ Marsh McLennan
As an Insurance Broker, I took this course because I wanted to "create something" outside of work even if I didn’t believing in myself and my capacities at first. Dexter's course boosted my self-confidence and provided me the tools and mental frameworks to go out there and conquer the world. The community is also an important value add where I can discuss the course content and find people at different points on their side hustle journey.
Rainer
This side hustle course was really great. I really loved how Dexter packed a lot of essential information into 8-10 minute videos which made it easy to follow along. Dexter also shared a lot of great tips, examples, and worksheets. Lastly, what was awesome about this course was I got to join a community of other aspiring side hustlers and learn from them.
VJ
I highly recommend this side hustle course for those seeking actionable strategies. Dexter’s no-fluff approach and concise yet insightful content provided me with a structured framework for refining my side hustle. The format of short videos and accompanying worksheets made the course easy to follow and encouraged deeper thinking. Dexter's guidance helped me gain valuable insights and take meaningful steps towards advancing my side hustle endeavors.
Deassy Rizky Syahputri
Principal Consultant - Thrive
I embarked on my solopreneurship journey about 1.5 years ago following a layoff. Despite already taking the leap into entrepreneurship, I found the Remote Side Hustle course to be incredibly beneficial. The course provided invaluable frameworks and structures that I hadn't previously utilized. The content was refreshingly straightforward and concise, supplemented with practical examples. The exercise templates were particularly helpful as they allowed me to directly apply the theory learned to my own side hustles.
I also truly appreciated the sense of community among cohort peers. As a solopreneur, connecting with like-minded individuals has been invaluable in maintaining motivation and momentum. Before enrolling in the course, I often felt overwhelmed about whether I was making the right decisions. However, thanks to Dex and the Remote Side Hustle course, my mindset has been refreshed. I now approach my ventures with greater confidence.
Leo Zhang
I can’t recommend this course enough because of its value and the connections that you form with other students. I have been following Dexter since his Singapore days and always wanted to learn from his experiences abroad. I got to know him better in the past month, learning his toolkit to run a side hustle.
Felix
I recently graduated college and I have seen many people having successful side hustles, showing you how they have done it. The thing is... how do you even start? This course will help you jumpstart getting your side hustle up and running and also help you frame your mindset on how to approach side hustles. Dexter provides you examples from his side hustle journey (and has many other case studies from other successful side hustles as well!). I've finished the course and I'll still be making use of the course content.
Ekaterina Fedotova
Project Manager
I really recommend this course to anyone that feels a bit stuck and and wants to start a side hustle in a new niche. I decided to take this course because I was interested in exploring a different path for career growth. It's very well structured and a perfect amount of live sessions, homework, video lessons, collaboration with other students, and feedback from him and his team. It helped me generate ideas, think outside of the box, and get the results I wanted.
Jazel Castillo
Product Lead
I enjoyed being part of the Part-Time Consulting Launchpad community. I always wanted to launch a side hustle, have a mentor, and commit to doing the work. Dexter's course was a great way to start making it happen. I like how the course started with the customer in mind: finding your *potential niche, matching your skills, and plotting it in a demand matrix. The Notion course worksheet prompts were very valuable. I especially enjoyed the last part (which focuses on Sales 101): creating a pitch, and website, qualifying leads, and writing sample scripts for the discovery call.
Amin Neeme
Product Partnerships & BD Lead @Google
Just went through 2 case studies. Both are extremely helpful and I walked away with actionable tips I'll implement. I was really impressed with how much value the few questions asked extracted!
Charlie Daye

Dexter has created a fantastic course for those looking to build a side business. I appreciated that this course is packed with detailed video lessons and relevant case studies which bring the theoretical concepts to life. The course helped me have a more structured approached in how to plan and launch a feasible side hustle. As someone who has experience in the entrepreneurial field, I found nuggets of wisdom in this course and would highly recommend. Thank you Dexter!!
Andrew Tsai
I LOVED this course by Dexter and think it's great that he implemented many of the same strategies he teaches in this course itself. I appreciated the quick and succinct videos, easy pacing, and actionable steps covered in this course.
Ivana N
I started exploring 1:1 career coaching as a side hustle a few months ago, but I had been dragging on making real moves due to imposter syndrome. This course helped me unblock myself and gave me the tools and frameworks to crystallize my offerings, my value proposition and my sales and marketing plan. What I appreciated most about this course is that it is packed with actionable tools and real case studies.
Ningjie Cao
Product Manager
This course has helped me sharpened my focus, find my niche and formulate a strategy to launch it. As a Product Manager and Consultant who has lived in 4 countries, one of my goals was to launch a remote side-hustle that I could do as a digital nomad. I appreciate the personal touch that Dexter has put into this course, and his examples and insights are very relatable. Don't miss out on the vibrant community as well, as you will be learning a lot from your peers too!
Matthew Belli
Product Owner, Nestlé
I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to start their own side hustle but feels intimidated or unsure of where to begin. As someone who was initially scared to approach the idea of starting a side hustle, this course simplified the entire process and broke it down into approachable steps. I now feel more confident and empowered to pursue my entrepreneurial goals. Dexter's passion for the subject matter was contagious, and his enthusiasm motivated me to take action.
The course materials, including video lectures, worksheets, and real-life examples, were incredibly helpful in reinforcing the concepts taught. Overall, this course has not only provided me with the necessary tools and knowledge but also inspired me to embrace the world of entrepreneurship.
Benhard Martin Pasaribu
Head of Growth
Dexter's course was the answer to my prayers. As a full-time professional, I was always curious about building a side hustle. Recently, my career took a turn that led me to taking on side consulting projects, but I had no idea how to scale and expand it. The course helped me to get an understanding of how to start and scale a side hustle business end-to-end, giving you real examples on how to do it and sparing no time for vague explanations. I really appreciated the course structure, as it starts with your mindset, then drills down into the nitty gritty details of executing your side hustle. I'm thankful for the course as now I'm more confident building my private consulting business as a side hustle.
Shilpa Nath
Founder, The Kommunity Consulting
I was able to upsell a service based on the strategies we learnt in the course! When I started, I wasn't sure which project to work on and how to get started. Dexter really goes out of his way to help us work out what we can do better and untangle the knots we're facing.
I loved the bite-sized "theory" videos and detailed workbooks that helped me to process my ideas into actionable items. The workbooks highlighted blind spots or challenges, which we discussed during the office hours. Loved working alongside others who were also in a similar journey.
Group Project Manager, Rakuten
Dexter's course is a mini-bible for anyone who is looking to launch their portfolio careers. Before joining the course, I had so many questions on how I could start a side hustle, how to find my first client, and many more. His course is a step-by-step approach that you can easily follow. The exercises make you put on your thinking hat and take action. I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to launch a side hustle. Life is short. Make the best use of it.
Mateo Riveros
Principal Product Marketing Manager
Before the course, I had something inside of me tugging at me to become an entrepreneur, but I didn't think I could provide value in any of the areas that interested me. Within the first week of the course, I had an “aha!” moment when I identified my ideal client profile and realized that they had a number of pain points that I could resolve with my expertise. From there, my goal was to build a roadmap of actions I could slowly take, while balancing full-time work and family demands. After graduating this course, I feel that I have a long-term roadmap that I can execute to land my first clients and grow this business at my own pace.
Head of Content, Ali Abdaal
I managed to secure a few clients during the 8 week course, which I'm delighted about. I've been wanting to start a side-hustle for some time but never got around to making it happen. This course was exactly what I needed. It gave me the structure I needed to define and refine my offer, validate it, look for clients, and more. On top of that, the weekly sessions and accountability buddy system helped keep the momentum going - always great vibes with a group of like-minded people whom I hope to stay in touch :) After taking the course, I have way more clarity on what my side-hustle is and how to go about building and scaling it. Thanks so much for your support!
Co-Founder, Foundersbuilt
I closed my first fractional client during the program. Since then, I've closed two more, and now have the financial runway to explore my next chapter with clarity. After a decade of sprinting through product roles, venture capital, and building my own startup, I needed time to reassess what came next. The Portfolio Path cohort helped me balance leveraging my founder brand with quietly executing and building in the background. This program isn’t just about side hustles; it’s about designing a sustainable career on your terms.

I enjoy reading Dexter's newsletter because I always learn something new. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about personal finance.
Aynur A.
I loved the case studies, especially the one about the guy who didn't know what he wanted to do. I also love the fact that at least one of them was nowhere near financial independence. Your newsletter is literally the only one I read now. Even Justin Welsh's newsletter, while it's good for a few months, only really applies to a specific way of setting up a business and is heavily geared towards a personal brand type business. Thanks so much!
Chiin G.
I was on a career break and was just lurking around LinkedIn when I saw Dexter's interesting posts. I saw his cold outreach scripts, and started to reach out to interesting people on LinkedIn using it! It was very helpful for me during that time, and helped me improve in reaching out to people to ask for advice, hear their story and just chat. Because of the repetition of outreaching cold, I landed a role in business development. His scripts are still very useful for me in terms of how to frame how to approach a total stranger on the internet haha! :)

Managing money as an expat/global citizen doesn't have a 'playbook' in the same way that localised investing does. Money Abroad helps to demystify these challenges and explain concepts in simple ways, with real examples. It's had an impact on financial discussions in our household and I'm confident it'll have the same effect on others too.
Jesse Lau

The only time I've heard about the concept of semi-retirement (and in detail) is from you - thank you!
