The Safest Way to Start a Side Hustle in 2022
If you’re thinking of quitting your job to start a side hustle, DON’T.
If you quit your job however, to start a side hustle, make sure you have a means of income. Cashflow is king.
If you don’t however, make sure that until your side hustle can pay your bills and more, you stick to your job.
If your job is a pain in the a**, then change jobs.
It’s easy to follow people that bash the 9–5. It’s easy to craft a beautiful image in your mind that jumping on that side hustle will change things easily. It’s easy to think, having that freedom of time will mean you’ll be able to do more. For a lot of people, it wouldn’t.
If your side hustle is going to be your only income stream as well, then make sure you have a job as well. You can use the 9–5 to pay the bills, and use the side hustle to fuel your investments.
The goal is multiple streams of income and the freedom of choice.
And remember, I don’t’ mean savings, I mean cashflow. And a continuous flow for that matter.
Not having that cashflow will limit your creativity and cloud your judgement. You will lose all clarity and trust me, you can’t build a successful business with out clarity of mind and constant worry.
This is the safe way, and for many, this will be the best way.
