A side hustle or job you do outside of your regular work can be an excellent avenue for diversifying your income and skills. In addition to providing financial benefits side hustles offer the opportunity to pursue your passions, explore new areas and potentially set the stage for future career moves. Personal anecdote. A couple of years into my tech career, I felt financially stable but not quite satisfied. I wanted to explore new fields, extend my skill set and increase my income. I decided to start a side hustle given my interest and expertise in programming, I started offering freelance coding and consulting services. Initially finding clients was a challenge. But as I built up my portfolio and received positive testimonials, more opportunities came my way running a side hustle was demanding. It required time management, business acumen and a different set of soft skills. But it was incredibly rewarding both professionally and financially. I gained exposure to different industries, honed my technical and interpersonal skills and boosted my income significantly. My side hustle also enhanced my negotiation power in my full time job with a supplementary income. I could negotiate better during job offers and salary discussions. It made a significant contribution to my transition from making 75 K to 250 k steps to start your side hustle. One, identify your skills and interests your side.
