Side Hustle 7/4/19: Ask This Before Starting A Side Hustle

Happy Independence Day!

How To Hustle This Week: 3 things to consider before starting a side hustle.

Before you jump into a side hustle, take a minute to consider a few things. First, what are your financial needs? Is your side hustle going to be an ongoing job or a temporary situation? Second, consider your skill set. What is going to make you stand out from the crowd and are you going to be able to put the time into it? And finally, is this side hustle a stepping stone towards the path you “really” want or is it just a break from the ordinary? Once you have worked through these questions, you’ll have a clearer understanding of what you want to gain from your side hustle and where it can take you. [CNBC]
