Side Hustles and Financial Independence
Today’s creative side hustles are yesterday’s part-time job. Side hustle just sounds cooler and it sounds like it’s more fun than a part-time job. It sounds like you are getting something over on someone. But really you’re just helping yourself to something you truly deserve. Extra money.
In our discussions on Financial Independence (FI), we suggest you use your side hustle money to become FI. How? Little by little.

The Possibilities are Endless
The list is endless for creative side hustles. Any job you can conceive, you can create. Just work a little toward your side hustle each day. In the beginning, you will spend your time getting the knowledge, getting the materials, and getting your space organized. I suggest you do one task toward creating your side hustle each day. Once you are in position to begin, then aside time each day to work on your side hustle business. After that, set achievement goals for your side hustle. For example, if your side hustle is proofreading, set the goal of proofreading two papers per week. After that, set the goal of 4 proofreading papers per week and so on.
You might not reach your financial goal immediately, but by having established a creative side hustle, if you keep putting money aside, you will reach your goal. Then, you set a further goal and so on. Before you know it, your side hustle will be leading right down the path to Financial Independence
