Lesson 16: Why You Need to Invest Time to Start a Side Hustle and Build Your Empire
Let me tell you the truth
Hello friend,
Hope your week is going well. I am back with yet another lesson this week.
Enjoy!
Purpose
You can have or choose as many as purpose for your life.
But the common key for every purpose is to enjoy.
With all the paths you may take in life and the purposes you can assign to your life, it comes down for you to find joy in everything you do.
“I finally figured out the only reason to be alive is to enjoy it.” — Rita Mae Brown
While you work on your unfinished dreams, prioritize enjoying life in the present.
It’s easy to say side-hustle is not worth it. You won’t earn any money out of it and so on.
People always want to tell you what you can or can’t do.
The reason is simple: if they can’t have it then you can’t either.
Real truth
The real truth is not everyone can build an empire out of nothing or depending only on their ability to turn nothing into something.
It needs guts and relentless effort to keep going.
Spend one year of solid and consistent effort every week or day ( if you can ) to build a side hustle.
It can be anything. May be it’s time to give your hobby a chance.
Short-cuts minimize the impact
There are no shortcuts that will make a side hustle into an income overnight because the path is different for everybody.
It takes experiments and consistency to figure out what you like doing and how to turn it into something big.
For the first year nobody really read my work. I had zero engagement on my articles.
But with time, I learned what content topics I liked.
Eventually, I am finding a way to tell stories my way.
Practice as your life depend on it
This is one of the un-popular suggestions you will find.
You want to build something. You need to practice. I am talking about years of practice.
Not one or two years. You need perseverance to keep going.
Practice your side hustle every day.
Enjoy the process of building whatever it is you want to create.
Ignore the critics and remember your why.
You simply won’t be able to predict where you end up in next three or five years and that’s the best part.
This is the legitimate truth to build your unicorn.
