(rhythmic instrumental music) Hey everyone, I am Heather, and I am here to help you ditch that nine-to-five, and create a freedom-based business, so you can live your life, your dreams, your way. And today we are gonna talk all about the side hustle. I'm gonna tell you what it is and how starting a side hustle can get you on that path to freedom. And I'm doing it, so I know it works. Now, the definition of side hustle is pretty much what it seems to say.

And that is some sort of business that you do on the side in order to generate extra income. So it could be things like walking a dog, or being a personal chef for somebody, or organizing somebody's kitchen. It is anything outside your normal daily nine-to-five job. Now, there are many different types of side hustles. Some are physical, such as dog walking or house sitting. And some are online, and there are a bazillion of those opportunities out there. Some pay really well and require some special certifications, and others create just kind of a trickle of income, but don't require any special type of training.

So there are so many choices for you to pick which side hustle is best for you. First, let's talk about side hustles that do not require special certifications or any special training. Again, dog walking is a great example of that. You can put a notice up in your community. Or put an ad out on Craigslist or on Facebook Marketplace, advertising that you are willing to walk someone's dog for them. In fact, I met a lady down the hall today. She did exactly that to me. She was here walking someone else's dog. And she asked me, do I have a dog that I need walked. And the truth is, yeah, but I should probably walk him myself because I'm here. But, anyway, it's a great side hustle, works great for her. There are other things you can do, such as become an Uber driver. If you have a car and you meet their standards you can start driving Uber on the evenings or the weekends. It definitely puts some pretty good extra money in your pocket that way. Or even if you are a graphic designer. Now, a lot of people go to school and have a lot of training for graphic design.

But there are others who are self-taught. They don't have the degree, they don't have the certifications, but they are fantastic. And if you get out there and advertise your services as a graphic designer there is a huge need for that right now. So just explore the types of things that, number one, you enjoy doing, and number two, you're pretty good at. And see if there are things out there that you can start developing a side hustle for. Now, if you're ready to start earning that side income. And you're ready to buck that traditional system go ahead and type #BuckIt below because I'm right with you. Okay, other types of side hustles require special training. For example, you could be a CPA, and on the side offer your services to people that need extra help, maybe at tax time like right now.

Or if you're an attorney you can offer to review people's contracts on the side. There are a lot of different types of specialized side hustles that you can start. You can even become a notary. Now, that requires a process that your state will require you to go through. But once you do that you can offer your services and get $20 a pop for somebody who needs a notary. And that's the type of thing that would be great to do on the weekends for people who are selling real estate and need to have things notarized. If you're an app developer in your day job, well, just go advertise your services on the weekends and nights. And you can make some pretty darn good money as an app developer for people that just want to hire you on the side. So think about your skills, think about what you are trained to do. And then find the places that people advertise for those skills, and get going on your side hustle. Okay, so now you're at a place.

You're ready for the side hustle, you want to do it. The other thing that's important to pay attention to is how to fit your side hustle into your life without completely overwhelming yourself or your loved ones. And it is important to take the time to pay attention to that. So, if it's a side hustle that you do in the evenings make sure to carve out very specific hours just for your side hustle. That way it doesn't dominate your entire life. Or if it's a weekend gig just make sure you still reserve time to spend with your loved ones or doing things that are important to you like exercise, or going to movies, or whatever. You definitely want to make sure that if you are adopting a side hustle it does not create a life for you that actually makes you miserable and at the opposite effect of what you are trying to accomplish. So, you now know whether you want to do a side hustle and what type of side hustle will work for you. But maybe you need a little bit more guidance on the specific things that are out there.
