Amber Venz Box always knew she wanted to run her own company. But when her marketing business got intensely popular, she was still in her early 20s — and she didn’t exactly know what to do. When Box co-founded Dallas-based LTK in 2011, her goal was simple: Develop affiliate marketing tech to monetize her fashion blog. That effort turned into a full-blown company when she and her then-boyfriend — now husband — Baxter Box realized they could sell the technology they’d created to other bloggers. Today, LTK is a $2 billion company that connects influencers and bloggers with retail brands and their advertising dollars, but it didn’t exactly go smoothly at first.

42-year-old Kelly Gordon is a superyacht captain for “ultra-high net worth” boat owners. She typically works with one client at a time, and is currently based in Palm Beach, Florida, stationed aboard a 108-foot yacht, she says. In 2019, Gordon started cataloguing her adventures on Instagram. Her videos resonated with viewers outside the yachting world, and content creation is now her side hustle, she says: She spends, on average, five hours per week on it, whenever she’s off-duty. Her side hustle brought in $124,000 in revenue last year, according to documents reviewed by CNBC Make It. Here's how Gordon built her side hustle, and how she plans to grow it.

Last year, Michelle Schroeder-Gardner paid $50,000 to go on a four-month cruise that took her family to 30 countries. She, her husband and their 12-month-old daughter shared one room that doubled as her floating office. They spent 60 days at sea and 50 days in port, and visited six continents. This was the most expensive trip they've ever taken, but she says it was worth it. Schroeder-Gardner says they see the money spent as an investment — not just in travel, but in a collection of memories that they will treasure forever. Here’s why she says it was some of the best money she ever spent.

Barbara Corcoran has some career advice for emerging professionals. As you weigh job prospects and potential roles, “always choose the best boss,” Corcoran, a millionaire real estate entrepreneur and investor, said in a TikTok video last week. It can be tempting to choose a job solely based on salary or a company’s big and flashy reputation — but those things won’t matter if you and your boss are incompatible, Corcoran explained. “Don’t take any job based on how much it pays,” she said. “Having a good boss will have more to do with your happiness at work than actually what you do with your day.”

It’s Tuesday night, and Liz Chick is in her studio in Brooklyn, New York watching Ella Emhoff — the stepdaughter of U.S. vice president Kamala Harris — teach 20-somethings to do something called knit painting. Running the studio, called RecCreate Collective, is Chick’s dream job, she says. Multiple nights per week, Chick — often sporting a quilted jacket she dyed herself using avocado pits — hosts instructors who teach knitting, collaging, painting and sculpting classes of up to 45 people. It’s also the most lucrative job she’s ever had, says Chick. In January, just ten months after hosting its first class, the studio brought in $25,000 in revenue, according to documents reviewed by CNBC Make It. RecCreate has been profitable since December, and Chick pays herself a salary of roughly $5,500 per month, she says.

Nobody expected Bernadette Joy to shut down her successful business. Not even Joy herself. Joy ran Charlotte, North Carolina-based Dressed, which started as a side hustle connecting people who owned bridesmaid dresses with people who wanted to rent them. It helped her pay off her student loans, quit her full-time job, hire employees and open a storefront. But the more momentum Dressed gained, the more time-intensive and less fulfilling it became. In 2019, after three years, she closed up shop. She says it taught her an important lesson, which she says is her No. 1 tip for starting a side hustle: Try to monetize what comes naturally to you, instead of selling something just because you can.

Framery has roughly 400 employees around the world, but its roots in Finland run deep throughout its work culture that promotes worker engagement and satisfaction. Finland, after all, is the happiest country in the world for the seventh year running, according to the latest World Happiness Report. So it’s not surprising that open communication, teamwork and, perhaps most of all, employee well-being, are all high priorities at Framery, a manufacturing company headquartered in Tampere, Finland. As head of people and culture at the company, Anni Hallila works to make sure that employees feel happy and fulfilled while on the job. She says she and her team use a few common Finnish phrases to create an environment where employees can thrive in the workplace. ⬇️

After graduating with her MBA in 2016, Margaret Nyamumbo took a job in investment banking — a gig that was not only lucrative, but intellectually stimulating. Nyamumbo had every intention of staying in banking and climbing the corporate ladder, but the work she was doing — analyzing consumer goods companies — seemed to be pulling her in another direction. "I learned how different brands had been started, and I realized that brands, even Fortune 500 companies that are household names, at one point, had very small, humble beginnings,” she says. “As I learned more about the industry, I [realized I] wanted to build something from the ground up.” Given her upbringing, coffee was a natural fit. She started to explore what it would take to start her own coffee brand. Find out how she grew her company into a multi-million dollar business here: https://cnb.cx/3ZFOHmj

There is one skill all young people need to thrive in the workplace — today and in the future — and it’s been around for thousands of years. “If I could give my 13- and 16-year-old one competence that I think would stand the test of time, it’d be storytelling,” millionaire entrepreneur Scott Galloway told CNBC Make It. The type of storytelling may not matter, because the platforms people use to communicate can rapidly change. The important part is developing an “ability to write well, an ability to articulate ideas and an ability to present ideas with data, infographics, slideshows,” said Galloway.
