WHY EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE A SIDE HUSTLE

Did you know that over 44 million Americans have a side hustle to bring in extra income? Check out the statistics from this 2017 survey. https://www.bankrate.com/cashlorette/side-hustles-survey/ 

Mind Blown! I was absolutely blown away when I saw the numbers from that survey! NOW truly is the time to get a side hustle or even multiple side hustles and here is WHY!

1. Always have multiple sources of income! A single source of income is dangerous because you are trapped if your industry is hit hard economically! Putting your eggs in one basket is not always the smartest thing to do. 
2. Everyone can always use extra money because it can be used to build wealth, pad your retirement fund, boost emergency savings, pay off debt, pay for college for your kids, and/or give back to the world through charitable contributions.
3. It could become your passion! So many times people get jobs because they need them to pay the bills and survive not necessarily because they enjoy the job itself. However, if you could find an additional source of revenue doing something on the side that you love, wouldn’t it be worth it to try a new opportunity?
4. The cost of living keeps rising and wages are not able to match it. 
5. You grow yourself as a person and become more educated in another industry besides your current field of employment.
6. You will be happier if you have a creative outlet and create an additional source of income which relieves financial stress in your life. 
7. With the internet, it is so much easier and simpler to create a global side hustle. The economy is always shifting and changing. Jobs are becoming more automated. People shop online now more than ever. With cellular devices, shopping is at your finger tips! Literally! Look at the statistics on it https://v12data.com/blog/consumer-shopping-trends-stats/ because they are calling it a lifestyle now.
8. The best side hustle creates passive or residual streams of income, and if you understood that you would run through a brick wall to create it!

People who start a side hustle are not crazy. They are smart and planning ahead. I challenge you to consider the opportunities out there that will allow you to create additional streams of income in the small pockets of your time around your busy lifestyle.
