Dean Wilson has started, owned, and operated part-time side businesses for four decades. These include service-based, product-based, and information-based businesses. His passion now is in helping others develop the small business knowledge and skills that result in a sense of independence and a greater degree of control over one's own life, as well as a reliable second income stream. He is the author of a nationally recognized and widely used trade textbook with twenty-four years in print, as well as dozens of customized industrial manuals. He is semi-retired from his largest self-built business, Steamworks Industrial Services (www.steamworks-is.com), but still offers his expertise through consulting. Dean resides in central Ohio. He speaks and offers coaching on side business (""side hustle"") development, startups, and profitable operation, and provides related resources through his website, www.eatyourcaketoo.com
