From the profile of many of our members, we realized that a lot of us still have our regular 9-5 job and are looking for ways to venture into our business. As our first post for the year, we thought to address the concerns of this class of people, before we roll out our business growth techniques for the year.
If you’ve ever thought about starting a side hustle, you’re probably motivated by one of three reasons:
It’s a hobby, and you’re feeding your interest during your free time.
You’re supplementing your primary income. Maybe you have financial goals you want to reach, and having an extra income source will help get you there quicker.
You plan to transition into entrepreneurship full time, so you’re testing the waters with a side hustle before taking the big leap and quitting your full-time job.
Regardless of your motivations, you’re about to start a business. And the moment you expect people to start paying you money in exchange for value that you provide, you can no longer treat it as a passive endeavor. But when you have a full-time job—in addition to a life that you’d really like to enjoy—that’s easier said than done.
There’s a reason it’s called a side hustle: you need to work hard to make it a success. Follow the tips listed in this post to get you started.
