Anyone who’s known me for any length of time knows that I don’t believe in having just one source of income. If you’re new to the concept, I recommend this article I wrote about why you should have a side hustle.
Before my editorial services business became my main gig, it was my side hustle. When it became my primary source of income, I knew I needed another side hustle.
I had one for a while, and it was a truly fun and lucrative one, but amongst other drawbacks there was the “hustle” part of it.
I needed something less intrusive, something closer to my everyday life, a way to get paid for doing things I already did every day, things that came naturally to me.
After reading The Four-Year Career (a life-changing book for me!) I knew for sure that what I wanted was out there, and that I would recognize it when I saw it.
And I have!
I recently partnered with an amazing company that allows me to build residual income by doing what I’ve already been doing daily for free.
I’m excited and fired up!
PS
There’s a lot out there under the guise of business opportunities offering extra income. Here’s something I learnt from a great leader:
ABOUT YOUR OPPORTUNITY
- Is this a real business opportunity? Or just an excuse to move money amongst friends?
If the answer is NO, don’t WALK away… RUN away!
- Would I purchase the product or service if there were NO Business opportunity attached?
If the answer is NO, don’t WALK away… RUN away!
- Does the company offer a leadership development program?
If the answer is NO, don’t WALK away… RUN away!

Yes! I’ve always had a side hustle. First, it was selling Ankara clothes on Etsy, then crochet braids. Lately, with an infant and other personal non-money bringing projects I’m working on, no time for side hustle. So I decided to up my salary, whether at my current job or a new job. I’ve got financial goals to meet.
Interesting! How’s this going?
I hear exactly what you’re talking about with regards to the time. My side hustle is all about offering courses to learn how to take your expertise in a subject and turn it into a training package and course. Getting it up and running in a major effort, but making it time efficient is a must
Great!
