Hi Chris and Susan here...
Â
When we first read those words "Without a side hustle, my life would be ruined"...
Â
We were taken back to that conversation we were having with ourselves back in 2009
Â
They were from an article we were reading on one of our favourite sites and one of the writers we follow
Â
And we thought of you here reading our newsletters because once upon a time you held up your hand to wanting to make money online (for your retirement or whatever your personal reason, to create a side income etc etc)...
Â
Let's answer an important question first shall we
Â
What is a side hustle really?
“Side” means it’s not your primary form of workÂ
What is missed is, a side hustle is a seed you plant. It’s not what a side hustle starts out as. It’s what a side hustle becomes that unlocks several layers of your undiscovered potential.
Â
It was certainly that way for us
Â
Our side hustle started out as an experiment to see if this online business stuff really worked...
Could we really make money like they said...
Â
Well six months "side hustling" proved we could and it definitely unlocked undiscovered potential for us
Â
Like the author of the article, our side hustle became our main hustle and it led to a more meaningful life and work we were proud of
Â
Â
And here's a few ideas for you if you really are wondering what you might want to doÂ
- What do you love?
- What are you really good at?
- What have you survived?
Then, do some fun web searches and let your imagination run wild...
Â
Search the internet related to each of your interest areas, combined with phrases like “side hustle” or “how to make a profit doing,” to find out what others are up to and what their customers are needing
Â
Some of these key words may not produce hot leads, but they are meant to ignite your own wild imagination for keywords that may yield some very surprising discoveries...
Â
female baby-boomers, LGBTQIA+ millennials, vegetable gardeners, wildlife photographers, webmasters/coders, science fiction writers, elementary math schoolteachers, farm animal lovers, craft artists, guerrilla marketers, opera singers, nature lovers, world travellers, fashion bloggers, dyed hair stylists, stay at home parents, college students, introverts, actors, couples, animal trainers, bookkeepers, bakers, bee keepers, etc.
Â
Now that you have some ideas in mind we can look at how to get your business off the ground
Â
That's what we do best
Â
Comes from years working with small businesses and more than ten years online teaching and training and guiding people towards their dreams and goals
Â
It might be a program you can plug into or it might be we need to plan a session together to formalise your ideas
Â
Either way we hope that we and the article we've shared gives you some hope for the futureÂ
Â
If nothing else the Pandemic has taught us nothing is certain - not jobs, not the economy, not retirement, not even our health
