Side Hustle

"Side hustle" is a term used by the younger generation and aspiring entrepreneurs, but guess what?

It's becoming a reality for EVERYONE.

The skill set that college should teach, but doesn't is: how to SELL.

The days of corporate security are over. Pensions, 401K's and retirement funds are rapidly disappearing. That means you can't put all your eggs (hope, money, dreams, etc.) in one basket.

All your ideas for a side business need to be implemented NOW. 

If you currently have a job, you can lose it overnight...
If you're unemployed, it can last a long time...
If you're an entrepreneur, you have to keep evolving...

This isn't meant to scare you, but motivate you to start DOING.  

What do you have a passion for?
What experience(s) in the past has prepared you for the future?
How can you make money doing it?

Everyone wants to follow their dreams, but you need to figure out a way to get paid to do them.

I'm not telling you to quit your job and pursue you passion now. 
Instead start researching, testing and networking in the industry you want to be in. 
Get some experience, even if it's not paid, so you can learn what your customers want. 

If you do your homework now, you'll reap the benefits of your "side hustle" becoming your main thing. 
Good luck and get started NOW!
