Part 5: Side hustle
Do something on the side. The normal job that you are going to do is not going to let you have financial freedom, it is only going to allow you to pay your rent and bills. You have full weekend to do something on the side. You have everyday’s evenings to do what you like, either you can sit down and watch Netflix on TV or you can use that time to do something instead. Internet has so many opportunities, you can waste your time on Facebook or instead make some money on the side. Youtube is one of the biggest free platforms where you can share content and make money in return. It does not happen overnight but once you create good content, you will see some cash coming on the side.
Always remember it is never too late to follow your dreams. If you want to learn something, you can do it now. Just give it a go. Any hobbies that you have, you can do them on the side. It is all about finding time in between your daily routine. Doing things on the side, helps to keep your creativity level up.
Once you begin the journey, you achieve your goal. Make sure you share it with your family/friends and other people through the internet. As you follow this path, it will lead to many other paths, you might end up starting something unique and excel in it. You might write a book about your interest or start your youtube channel and share the knowledge with people. Remember you have to start from scratch. We all have some skills, all we need to do is discover those skills and excel in life. It can be anything that makes you happy. It can be something that you are knowledgable about, for example technology. You can start a blog or vlog(video blog) and share your knowledge about technology. Everyone loves valuable information.
If you are passionate about something you can learn quick and you can work as long as you want on it as you enjoy doing it. So find your passion and share it with the world. That’s the one good thing about internet, there are no boundaries anymore. The world is one click away. Bring the awareness to others when you are ready. A lot of people have good ideas they do not know where to begin.
It is sad to see lot of talented people not able to do what they want to do. Because of some blockage people do not do what they really want. And then people get used to the routine and the dreams or something they wish to do is not done. It is important to do what you desire. You need to make the change. Stop worrying about what you did not do and start doing what you want to do. Find a reason to do what you want to, instead of finding a reason not to do it.
We all have some people in our life who look up to us and we should encourage those people. We should share with such people whatever we learn. I know a lot of people are willing to change but they have no resources to learn as some people have no access to internet/technology or similar platforms or some people are not educated to read/write.
A lot time that you contribute towards your goals each day will create something amazing over time. For example you want to learn piano and have no idea about it. But if you start slowly learning even on YouTube if you have no money for courses. With regular practice you will be good in no time.
Remember everyday even a little bit, this is the key. There will be time when you want to give up as it’s not working etc. Don’t stop there, you might be nearly there so. Keep doing the same thing and you will get there eventually.
