Читать книгу Side Hustles For Dummies - Alan R. Simon - Страница 15

Our professional lives are hallmarked by a simple, straightforward equation: Work equals pay. Or, stated a bit more broadly: You put forth effort and provide value, and in exchange, someone pays you for your labors.

Many people are satisfied with what they earn from their full-time jobs, so the idea of making more money from some type of side hustle isn’t exactly top of mind.

For many others, however, their full-time jobs may come up short on the financial side. Maybe they make just enough to pay the bills and save a little, but their kids’ college tuition is on the horizon in a couple of years, and they’re not sure how they’ll afford it. Or maybe they want to pay for a wedding or a dream vacation that’s been on hold for too long.

Whatever the reason, doing something on the side — yep, a side hustle — may be the answer for how you can have your professional cake and eat it, too. In other words: Continue to hold down a full-time job that provides stability and benefits (even though the financial side isn’t quite what you’re looking for), while still earning money above and beyond what comes from your job.
