The internet says everyone needs a side hustle. Your main hustle, apparently, isn’t enough. You must now hustle sideways as well, at night, smiling into a ring light, while your employer sleeps soundly in a house you’ll never afford.
I support this. A side hustle is a wonderful way to discover that your hobby, which once gave you joy, can also give you invoices, one-star reviews and a tax question you’re afraid to Google.
Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life. You’ll work every day of it, after 9pm, at a loss.
Follow these steps and you, too, can be an entrepreneur for one financial quarter.
