6 Reasons Why Having A Side Hustle Is Good For You

Even if you’re earning top dollar in your day job, you may still want to think about getting a side hustle. Here are some of the top reasons why having a side hustle is good for you:

1. Improve your quality of life
When you’ve got extra cash flow coming in, then you basically have more disposable income. This means you can use the money to buy your wants and not just your needs. You can go on vacations and do fun things with the family! You can buy the latest gadgets if you like. Of course, do all this fun stuff in moderation. You don’t want to get used to a more expensive lifestyle if your side hustle income isn’t even all that stable yet.

2. Have an outlet for your creativity
If you work a relatively boring and routine job, then you may not have much room for creativity. A side hustle you’re passionate about will help you get the creative release you so desire. This means that when you work on your day job, you should generally feel good most of the time!

3. Have a backup plan
Keeping all your eggs in one basket isn’t a good plan. When it comes to finances and income streams, diversity is key. If for any reason, you suddenly decide to quit your job or you get fired, then you’re not going to go hungry because you’ve got other means of earning money!

4. Pay debts and loans
If you’ve accrued some debt and loans, then you’ll find it hard to pay off all these if you just depend on your salary. This is especially true if you live paycheck to paycheck and have no savings. If you have a profitable side hustle, you can use the additional cash flow to pay off your debts and loans.

5. Build your emergency fund
Emergencies don’t exactly announce themselves. They just happen. And when they do, then you better be prepared. If you don’t have an emergency fund, then you could wipe out your entire savings, and you’d fall into even more debt!

6. You’ll meet new people
There are tons of benefits to meeting new people. You not only widen your horizons, but you also have plenty of opportunities to get referrals from people in your network. You’ll get a new perspective on things, and there’s always the opportunity to learn something new from your new friends!

How To Choose The Right Side Hustle For You


If you do a Google search right now for the best money-making side hustles, you’ll find articles that feature a few hundred different ideas. These posts are literally a minefield of ideas, but how does that relate to you? How do you know which side hustle is going to be good for you? In this write-up, we’re going to answer this important question so you can be on your way to earning your first dollars from your side hustle!
So, the first thing you need to do is to make a list of the things you’re passionate about. This includes your hobbies (yes, you can make some money by doing your hobbies!), skills, and your interests.

Starting with hobbies is always a good idea because it means you can do these tasks without getting bored. Skills are also a good thing to include on the list because it’s something you know you can do easily. If you’ve got music skills, then you can think of ways to make some money off of music! Lastly, listing down your interests will help you further narrow down the things you want to do.
Ideally, what you want to do is to choose a side hustle that you’re passionate about (preferably a hobby), is relatively easy for you to do, and is something you’re deeply interested in.
Keeping yourself motivated while doing your side hustle is important because you’re basically working solo. If you let your motivation slide, then you’re going to fail at your side hustle. So, right from the get-go, it’s best to choose something you’re going to like doing for a long, long time.
Many people have turned their side hustles into full-time careers and businesses. But it most probably took them years. It took a lot of hard work and dedication. They also learned from their failures and mistakes.
Succeeding in your side hustle will mean developing an entrepreneur mindset. This means not being easily discouraged, and having the ability to think outside the box. Entrepreneurs think big and they focus on their long-term vision. They don’t sweat the small stuff.
If you want to turn your side hustle into a successful business venture someday, then focus on that goal. Do everything within your power to ensure your dreams come to fruition. There’s no better validation that you chose the right side hustle than by actually succeeding at it!

I will try as much as possible to constantly update this thread.
