My USD4,704.36 Loss | Stop Thinking about Side Hustle
I received a lot of advice over my loss of USD4,704.36. There were many suggestions. Many suggest that I should get a side hustle to supplement my business income. I agree this is a viable idea, this quickly brings in the money. Nevertheless, my business takes up a lot of my time; it is not a 9-to-5 gig where I can clock off on time. I do not want to make another mistake due fatigue or being in a rush.
For a side hustle to work for me. It should have some kind of alignment with my business. Otherwise, I will wear myself out. The only thing that I can think of is teaching people how to run VBA scripts in Excel and Selenium to automate processes that are routine. These are nothing sophisticated.
Instead, I should focus on my business's expansion and efficiency. By being efficient, it frees up time allowing me to mentally rest. By expanding, I bring in more income. Look for the smallest change that result in the biggest income or cost savings.
By using my business as an automation template, I have pratical experience and continue to develop a deeper skill set. Maybe then, it can be a viable and meaning side hustle. For now, I have focus on my business.
