Side-Hustle Will Not Make You Rich
2 months ago, I was a broke poor man who didn't have a penny to my name not until I came across the ultimate side hustle after several hours of watching different online videos and today, I am a millionaire. Wait!! Don't tell me you just believed what I wrote because if you did then I should be able to sell you the statue of liberty.
Side hustle will not make you rich because doing a work with the free time you have out of your schedule will keep you in a hamster wheel because you are not going to be able to rest with the time. A side gig will continue to be a side gig because it will only supplement for your main job while stealing the time you need from you. If your side gig is paying well, why not turn it into a business.
If you are doing a side gig that is paying you well, it means it is able to solve a problem which is why it is being paid for. What you need to do at this point is to turn it into a real time business. What you need to do is identify the problem the side gig turn business is solving, solve the problem in a more concise and better way, get paid from solving the problem and do it again and this time at a larger scale since you are improving on yourself.
The problem with a lot of people is not wanting to start at all. See, start first. Do not wait for anyone, or find any excuse to keep you from starting. Do not keep listening to people or watching videos with the expectation of getting ideas because ideas will not come from other people, it will only come from you finding a problem and solving it.

Procrastination is success killer because it will kill whatever vision or goal you have even before it starts. You cannot wait for that obstacle to go before starting because there will always be obstacles to overcome, if you are waiting for one thing to fall in place before you begin, then maybe I should break it to you that things will never fall in place because we are sailors sailing a ship in a continuous storm, it is our job to get things better and do great things but we can never have a perfect time even after we have started.
The world we are in is full of problem, we are a problematic specie and we will do anything or pay any amount to ensure that our problems are solved. This is where you come in. To make money, you need to be solving a problem that other are not solving or are not solving well. You will not see that bing bulb idea, it might never come. The truth is the world is filled with problem, and in other to make money you need to solve those problems. If you want to get business, think of problems you encounter and begin to find solutions for those problems.
When you have found the problem, try to find out how big the potential market opportunity for solving the problem is, understand and get an idea of how many people or businesses are going through the same problem, and how much people are willing to pay for a solution. When you do this, you have been able to solve the questions of what problems you are solving and how big is the market.
If there is a current suppose solution, look at the solution and try to find a loop hole or flaw in the business, what can be done to make the problem go, something that could make the service better, faster, or even cheaper. If you are able to solve these problems then you have a business already.
Never spend time trying to design the best solution because you do not know the extent of the customers problems and you do not have a tested product to tell it is good in the market. With this, it is important to start with a better solution and not the best, as well as start with a minimum viable product (MVP) which is the simplest product needed to solve the problem as envisioned. It is from the feedback you get from this product that will determine how you would adjust to serve your customers better.
Oh, I almost feel for the first line you used, looking out for available problems and loopholes for solution is important.
