Today's young people are increasingly dissatisfied with the income brought by their jobs, and want to experience fun outside their main business.

Some work as financial consultants during the day, and then go to learn yoga, obtain a yoga certificate, and become a yoga teacher after get off work.

Some are ordinary office workers, and earn money by photography and writing on weekends.

They change different professional identities and use different professional skills to make money. Many side jobs earn more than the main job.

So, how to develop your second career and earn another or even more income?

The first step to starting a side hustle: finding time!

If you want to start a side job, the first step is to find ways to find time for yourself.

Regarding wanting to do a side job but not having the time, there are often the following situations:

One is that they are busy with work and have a lot of work content.

One is that although the intensity of the work is not high, the time is long.

One is that there are a lot of chores, usually go to work, and need to do housework after get off work, take care of the elderly, help children with homework, etc.

Everyone can see what kind of situation they belong to. The situation is different, and the way to deal with it is also different.

The first solution

Examine the many jobs at present, and then assign the work content that you don't like and that has little impact on your career development to others, or simply reduce your work intensity, so that you can save some time.

I have a friend who is a teacher in an Arabic class. Apart from lecturing in the company, he also prepares some lectures and courses for teachers.

He knew that with his own ability, if he taught Arabic in this company, no matter how good the teaching was, he would only be able to bring in a few more students, and his chances of promotion were not great.

Therefore, he planned to use his spare time to do a side job and share it on the Internet, but he was too busy with work, so he discussed with his boss and handed over the work to others.

Discontinuation of such work will not affect his own career development but will also give himself some time to look for new opportunities.

The second solution

This is what happens to many mothers. Going to work, taking care of the baby after get off work, cleaning the house, cooking, etc., I am too busy. At this time, you can divide the things that need to be taken care of after get off work into two parts and share them with your husband. In short, try to give yourself at least an hour of appreciation time.

I know a mother who has two children. At the beginning, her situation was like this. She had no rest time at all, and she was like fighting a war all day long.

She divides the housework into two halves, and shares it equally with her husband, and then deliberately develops the habit of self-reliance for the children, letting them do homework independently, and take care of personal hygiene. The child goes to bed at nine o'clock every day, and she also rests at this time, and then gets up at five o'clock the next day, so that she has at least an hour to study.

The third solution

It's easy to solve, just use the mini-habit action method I explained earlier.

The basis of the mini habit system are microsteps, breaking things down into impossibly small steps that can be accomplished with only a small amount of willpower. In this way, on the one hand, we are likely to continue to complete the "extra link", and we will also form an inertia of this action, and we can continue to do it every day.

Know that doing a little something every day has more impact than doing a lot in one day.

For example, it is very popular to earn money by writing after get off work.

However, most of them were very enthusiastic at the beginning, but they gave up after a few days.

At this time, you can slowly develop the habit through micro-actions. At the beginning, you can start by writing 50-100 words a day.

The most distressing thing about doing a side job is: how to choose?

When doing a side job, what troubles many people is that they don't know how to choose what to do.

Speaking from my personal experience, I really don't encourage the kind of side hustle that directly chooses to have nothing to do with me. Because there is very little connection with yourself, you often do not have the resources and advantages to do it blindly, the risk is greater, and you need to pay more.

Some people are impulsive when choosing a side job, or because they are too anxious to make money and only care about money and nothing else. Either because of the burnout of his own work.

So, how to choose the right sideline? I can teach you a trick.

Take out a blank piece of paper and write down keywords such as your occupation, interest, expertise, etc., and write down all your skills and resources under each keyword. This sort out is your personal resource map.

In conclusion, remember: smart people never risk their own gaps and weaknesses. They tend to draw circles with themselves as the center and make choices within the circle. In this way, you can take fewer detours, but you can grow faster and get twice the result with half the effort.

As an experienced person, I would like to make two suggestions

People are no longer satisfied with the income brought by their own work, and hope to use sideline jobs for better development.

However, as a person who has experienced it, time also has two suggestions for those who are doing or want to do a side job.

Suggestion 1: Don't quit your job in a hurry

People will have a relatively naive point of view, thinking that going to work means working for the boss. The reason why they want to start a business is also very simple, that is, they don't want to serve the boss anymore, and they don't want to go to work anymore!

Anyone who starts a business with this kind of idea will find it very difficult to succeed in the end.

In their eyes, starting a business has become the next choice, because going to work is not smooth, because finding a job is not smooth, and because going to work is too hard, so I want to start a business. They see startups as a quick get-rich-quick shortcut, or even as a way to avoid work.

They see entrepreneurship too simply. What they see is the glory of being a boss, but they don't see that the boss has to bear more risks and responsibilities.

If you can’t even go to work, how sure are you of your full-time entrepreneurial success?

The development of the Internet has made it more convenient for us to engage in sideline jobs, with more choices, and it will not affect our own work.

Having a main business can ensure that your life is worry-free, so that at least you will not have any major problems in your mentality, and you will not be under pressure from the public opinion around you, and you will gain time to develop a side business.

Suggestion 2: Decide to do a side job, please learn to have fun

I found that there is always a group of people who desire not only success, but also effortless success.

The truth of life is that nothing is easy and easy, and it requires our continuous dedication and perseverance to achieve it.

The same goes for a side hustle. If you want to have income, you must first pay.

When doing a side job, you must learn to have fun, learn to be patient, and learn to persevere.
