I've always been talking about really really doing what you love, I wrote an article on it on medium and it got like more than 3k views i think A lot of people liked, I didn't even expect that to happen, I just wrote it because I felt like giving up and I wrote something about "Why You Should Never Give Up On Your Dreams" And I talked about doing something you're passionate about.

So A bit of a story A guy named Chenell Tull, the founder of Hustle to Startup, did precisely that after seven years as a Google Ads and SEO specialist for AAA's e-business department. She'd aided her stepfather with his internet presence for a marketing firm he'd founded, and she'd told her networking group about it. This helped her land another customer, and she soon had three or four clients working alongside her day job.

Tull explains, "I decided I loved this so much that I wanted to leave my day job." "I worked for approximately a year and a half to save up eight months' worth of costs." Tull left her job in June 2017 to focus solely on her business, I mean this is incredible,

The key is, Start it with the intention to have fun.

I have come to realize that many people that succeeded online didn't have intention of not making money initially. I know some people that started their blogs and YouTube channels with the intention of having fun but were later able to monetize them and start making a whole lot of money from them. The truth is that whenever you want to start any online business you should not have the mindset of making money from it but with the intention of trying out new things that might work and at the same time it is also very important that we should try as much as possible to seek knowledge and guidance from people that have succeeded in such particular venture. One of the mistakes I made when I started affiliate marketing some time ago is that I had the mindset of trying to make money quickly instead of learning and trying out new things and probably have fun. this is where our YouTubers get it wrong because they make it seem as if it is very easy for someone to venture into online business and start making money immediately without taking some much time. It is quite very wrong and you can not succeed online that way.

This is true, some people started out a type of hustle as side hustle but it later became their major source of income. As we are meant to understand it side hustle is what we do just to keep a balanced take home. It is not something we do as our major source do income. Hence we spend less of our time in monitoring the activities going on in it. I have also have my fair share of this. When I completed serving I started out a poultry business as a side hustle as I working in a school at the time. All I do for the beds was just to make their cage very neat and I provided their feeds in the morning before leaving for work. Then after sometime my birds started doing so well and people started coming to patronize the chicken from me. Then I realise that, that ideas of doing as a side hustle could really bring me a fortune and I later made it my full time hustle . And it really paid off.

The only reason I had to shift focus was a s a result of the inflation we started experiencing, so it became a struggle to take care of them as cost outweighs profit.

Yes I agree to the story and the fact that passion can be turned to a business but let's be factual, if there's no profit gotten from the side hustle, I don't think that individual would've resigned from her day job.
So a side hustle would be turned to a day job if it's able to measure up to the profits that the main job is pulling in else there should be no need to tow that same line in my opinion.
A lot of people want to be entrepreneurs or business owners but fail to realise that being a businessman is more strenuous than having a 9-5 job. Someone with a regular job has fixed time of working and limited scope - they don't bother their heads of how the business gets customers if they're not in sales for example but as a business owner, every aspect of the business is your concern and you're actively involved too.

It is very important indeed do that which you love doing as a side hustle and even as your main job. Most people usually start side hustles as a way of earning the extra cash. But if you start something that you can have fun while earning the extra cash, it will be such an exciting venture.

Just like Chenell Till, you will soon enough leave your day job and concentrate on your side hustle as a main source of income. Which is so great because you will be doing something you love and you can be your own boss. You choose what to do and how much you would like to achieve.

The most important thing is that you just make sure that when leaving your day job, this side hustle is something good that will actually earn you a living. It would be a shame to leave your day job only to end up not having money to pay your bills.

Having a side hustle is very important these days. It makes you earn a good amount such that you can sustain yourself fully. If you want to live a more comfortable life, just ensure that you have several sources of income. Also, when you retire from your day job, a side hustle will be a great thing to concentrate on.

I have learned many things in this your very articles, the first thing that I learned is giving up, some people gave up there dreams very easily which is very very bad, I have came across this kinds of people that gave up on there dreams this truly have a negative impact in there personal lives, seriously giving up is not the best way to make your dreams come true you have to fight for it, this what contributes to people failing because they easily give up and this very bad. If you give up easily sorry to say but you still never achieve your dreams.

I had to come back and read this post again, I can't even believe the amount of value in this post, I really felt broken when I was writing this, but now am glad am back up.

I tbink what most people don't realise is this, that moment when sh*t hits the fan and you feel like quiting you feel that this wasn't meant for you, that's when your success is around the corner waiting for you.

Someone stated it like this, all your dreams and success is on the other side on consistency if it was easy everyone would be rich and success it's not. So not everyone is, prove to nature that you can take a blow.

Of cause, it's very possible for your side hustle to become your main source of income in the long run. Currently graphic designing is more of a side job for but I have plans of growing it to become a major source of income in the future because it is what I love doing.
