5 Powerful Reasons to have a Side Hustle/Business

(Thread)
1. You Will Be Less Stressed

It’s hard to keep calm at work when you are always stressed out.

This is exactly why you need a side hustle.

How does taking on more work sound less stressful?
Employees are typically handed an overwhelming amount of responsibility with little to zero autonomy.

There are few things worse than the stress of a toxic manager.

Several studies show that entrepreneurs and people who have a side hustle are happier overall.
A side hustle fuels you with confidence, purpose, and a feeling of personal achievement. 

More Dopamine… Yay!!
2. Improve Financial Security

Let’s be real, who doesn’t want to put more money in their pocket?

Research proves that American’s biggest source of stress is due to money concerns.
Obviously, having a side hustle is going to put more money in your pocket.

Mathematically speaking, increasing your income enables you to attack your financial goals faster. 😎

MORE MONEY means you can:

Start Investing
Pay off Debt
Obtain Financial Freedom
3. Expand Your Skills

Some say don't put all your eggs into one basket.
Others argue that you should go all in.

I think you can make a valid argument for both, however, in my opinion there has never been a more important time to have a diverse skill set.
"Get a safe, secure job” 

Truth is no job is really safe. 

The scary reality is you can get fired at anytime.
Due to budget cuts, I got let go from a job in the past. One day you have a job and the next day you don’t. 

Believe me, it happens fast!

Having a few side hustles helped me with the drop-off.

I was still able to generate income while looking for a different job.

Learning a different skill can be intimidating, but remember most things aren’t hard they are just new to you.
Riding a bike is hard at first, but eventually it becomes second nature.

Your side hustle may be scary at first, but after a while you will be glad you started.
4. Potentially Change Your Life

There are a number of success stories out there where someone turned their side hustle into a full time business.

@CJ_Johnson17th is a great example of this! ⌚️💰
5. The World is Always Changing

Let’s be real here- when you only have one income stream, your finances are at a much higher risk. 

What if something were to happen to your job?
What if your employer decides to downsize the workforce?

What if your employer decides to replace you with a robot?

Like I said earlier, the harsh reality is your job is never really safe.

You have to save yourself.
Starting your own side hustle is a real solution to real problems you are facing.

Don’t waste anymore time.
