How To Know When To Start A Side Hustle
Before Covid 19, many people had a side business. Post-Covid 19, there will be more opportunities to start a side hustle. Whether it’s a business or a part-time gig, if you’re doing something extra to bring some additional funds to your household every month, then congratulations! You’ve just created a side hustle to support YOU. However, some people reminisce over and over to find out if they got what it takes to start a side hustle.
Use these pointers for a self-evaluation.
You were born with greatness. You have a diverse set of talents, and you have acquired new skills during your lifetime. Through college degrees, trade schools, or other means, you have developed a unique skill set. Do your research to find out if there’s a need for your expertise and talents somewhere.
Identify your values. Your values are what you can offer to the world or how you can help people in distinct fields. If you enjoy introducing and bringing people together, then your values are team building. You are a network organizer, and you connect groups with similar interests. Follow this example and write down your best asset, so you can classify the niche for your side hustle.
Look around you. Odds are, there is someone in your entourage or network seeking a service that you might be able to assist them with. You might want to reduce the Tik Tok videos and Twitter sharing by seeking for people or institutions that could benefit from your specific skills.
Help and grind. People always come to you for service in one area or more. What if you could charge a fee to those repeat clients? If your friends and neighbors look for you to walk their dogs once a day, their friends might also need a dog walker. Think about it!
A lot of big businesses started as a sided hustle. Use these suggested tips to identify if it’s finally time to start your side gig. The time is now, not tomorrow.

This is something I really need to read. I always get confused what to do or what not to do during my virtual team meeting.
Voice projection is so important, and clear dictation as well. When i was drama we practiced this for hours so we could be heard all the way to back of the auditorium without a microphone, but at the same time we were not yelling, only projecting our voices. There is an art to it.
Clear dictation, Yes yes! Thank you Jen😀
Good advice! I used Zoom with my students at the end of the year and became very conscious of several of these.
