Side Hustle Do you like to tinker in the garage, basement or whatever you call your man cave? In this week's episode we discussed side hustles that may provide you an additional revenue for more purchasing power or even more importantly, pay down debt. Did you know that some of the most well-known businesses today had their inception in the garage? Here they are, Apple, it is one of the most well-known brands in the world which originated in a small garage in Cupertino, California. not to mention Hewlett-Packard, Amazon, Google, and the Walt Disney Corporation to name a few. We talked about having passion, purpose and along with core values if we are to expect sustainability in whatever we decide to do as a side hustle. Of course, we are not saying that your idea will be as huge as these corporations, but if we are going to augment our income considering economic conditions, it will help to meet family obligations.
My guest is a well-seasoned motivational speaker that takes him to schools, colleges and other venues that demands his presence. He also is the hosts of a popular syndicated podcast show, the Zack Ballenger podcast show. We talked about how psychology plays a tremendous part in moving forward with an idea of implementing a side hustle. Zack published a book entitled "Do not be a Zombie" of which I asked him what it meant. He proceeded to tell me that he grew up in an exceedingly small town, and sometimes we limit our thinking to the size of such experience. Or we are just going through the motions of everyday life without exploring outside our comfort zone, therefore, we are living much like a Zombie, not realizing our full potential. I absolutely agreed with him on that point, not limiting our ability, much like a goldfish will only grow to the size of the fishbowl. Should you inform your employer about your side hustle if you have an 8-to-5 job? The answer to the question is it (depends.) It depends if there is going to be a conflict of competition with your regular employment and your side hustle, or if you are in a salary arrangement, which means they own your time. You will find that there is no problem with your employer, so long as your performance on your regular job does not diminish. My guest mentioned an organization called SCORE.ORG that will help you get your idea off the ground, and I am here to tell you that it is a great organization of which I have utilized in years past. These are retired individuals interested in giving back to the community and it is a wide spectrum of professionals waiting to assist. you as mentors As a word of advisement, if you are looking for sustainability in a side hustle, explore the industries of Energy, Health care and Food. Not sure about you, I have not been able to break the habit of any of these three necessities in life, I wish you well!
