Times have changed, and it seems that 80% of us are taking on new ways to make ends meet, pay down debt, and put some extra spending money in our pockets. Having a side hustle is no longer an option – it’s a necessity. This week we’re looking at (3) three reasons the side hustle could do wonders for your career.
1. Traditional internships are not readily available to mid-career changers. To solve this issue, create a side hustle to deepen your experience and skillsets and prove to others that you can do what you say you can do.
2. It doesn’t matter that you don’t want to be an entrepreneur. It seems that almost everyone is doing something, in addition to their 9-to-5 job to develop an additional stream of income. Truth is, a side hustle might be your best way to make a career change. Working a side hustle gives you valuable experience and a chance to “fake it till you make it” while you build your reputation and business — one client at a time.
3. Consider that the top (3) side hustles are selling and renting property, ride-sharing, and fitness training. Even if you don’t own real estate or have a driver’s license, the great news is that EVERY industry needs consultants. Find a “lane” where you are an expert and start pitching others on how you can help their brand or business.
Career success sometimes doesn’t come right away. It takes time to advance in your career and get to where you want to be. Consider developing a side hustle (or two) along the way. We guarantee that your side hustle will help enable you to grow faster and farther than you would without it. Your side hustle may be the ideal way to help you find and create more ways to Live. Love. Do. ®
