Why You Should Consider Starting a Side Hustle

Sounds a little dramatic, but I can tell you from experience a side hustle can change your life. Whether you have:

• debt that is weighing you down
• your biggest fear is waking up in the same cubicle 10 years from now
• you want a better life for you and your family
• you want to spend more time with the ones you love instead of being controlled by the never ending emails and Slack messages or…
• you want to buy a house or take that dream vacation
• you just want freedom — financial freedom, time freedom, location freedom.

If you are NOT 100% satisfied with where you are today, a side hustle may be the answer.

I started my side hustle because of many of these same reasons:

• the overwhelming weight of over $200,000 in student loan debt
• the fear of spending my entire life in a cubicle
• wanting to have the freedom to decide who I work with, when I work, and where I work,
• not wanting to have to choose between a career or family
• and the ultimate driver: waking up excited and happy EVERY DAY!

When I started my side hustle, my first client paid me $800 a month and in less than two years that turned into six figures per year and eventually I went full-time. It has allowed me to pay off huge amounts of debt without having to sacrifice things I love, like traveling with my husband — hello business class tickets to Europe! 🙂

I now get to choose when and where I work, I am fulfilled by what I do and know I am making a positive impact on the people I work with. I wake up everyday excited and happy and on top of it all… I am making more money than I ever have before.

So if you know you want a change in your life, write “yes” in the comments below.

Alright, let’s dive into why you should consider starting a side hustle:

1. It can help you pay off debt or save for a large purchase like a house or vacation.
2. You can build the foundation of your business and take more risks — learn what works and what doesn’t — without having the financial strain of it being your only source of income.
3. Are you multi-passionate? With a side hustle, you can try out your different interests to see if you really want to start a business.

A side hustle can absolutely change your life. It changed mine.
