My voice is hoarse and I need a 100 hours of sleep right now. In fact, I almost forgot that I’ve already recorded and edited my podcast episode because I was watching World of Dance after a fun and eventful past 5 days of side-hustling. And, 4 of those side-hustle days were in the mountains (Vail and Breckenridge). This episode discusses the importance of not just working your side-hustle, but making sure it works for YOU too!

Show Notes
I’ve just spent 4 days in Vail and Breckenridge. Two of the best ski resorts in the world. I specifically went for a side-hustle that took place in the mountains. Most people look just at the money that a side-hustle can provide them. I look at a couple of other factors before saying “yes” to a potential side-hustle.
- Great time for this episode
- Things to ask yourself before saying yes to your hustle
- If your job is people intensive, you probably shouldn’t pick up a hustle dealing with people
- Think about the other perks that your side-hustle may offer you. Perks may include:
- Learning new skills
- Free food
- Swag
- Travel
- Clothes
- Networking opportunities
- Some things to consider before saying “yes”
- Pay
- Time flexibility
- Do you like the product/service/organization that you’ll be working with? Are you in alignment with them?

Thinking About Starting a Blog?
I love blogging! It has been an incredible experience, transformed my life, and connected me with a ton of amazing people. Blogging is a pretty cheap activity and I recommend hosting your blog with Siteground. Many bloggers have begun leaving HostGator and BlueHost and moving to Siteground. Myself included! Read why I’m leaving HostGator and BlueHost (I have 2 blogs one on each hosting platform) and moving to Siteground. If you’re a new blogger Sitegroundwill cost around $3.95 a month (depending on the size of your audience). They have great customer service and tutorials on how to host your new WordPress blog on Siteground

If you’re thinking about starting an online business, the resources below are a great way to get started.
- The Ultimate List of FinCon Community Products

- Make Money with Ebooks–There is more than one way to make money with your writing skills. I’ve created this course to help inspire, educate, and support writers who are sitting on a book idea…and are afraid to write it. This is YOUR year.Make Money with Ebooks is offered at three different tiers to meet different student needs.
- Self-Study

- $10KVA–Are you curious about becoming a Virtual Assistant as a side-hustle or a potential full-time gig? My friend Kayla Sloan is killing it as a Virtual Assistant and schooling other entrepreneurs in how to become a VA that earns on average $10KVA. This course is what I recommend as the first part of creating a virtual assistant business.
- Making Sense of Affiliate Income-If you’re looking to make affiliate income with your blog, Michelle Schroeder-Gardner’s course is the course that I recommend. She makes well over a $1 Million a year blogging and the biggest chunk of her income comes from affiliate marketing.
- IMark Interactive–Grayson Bell helps me with all of my website related tech issues and he is THE go to guy for WordPress related tech in the several different blogging niches (all the Personal Finance peeps work with him).
- Elite Blog Academy-Many bloggers have gone through this course and I consider this course the “Granddaddy” of all blogging courses. It’s not cheap, but in additional to getting all of the resources that are key to building an incredible blog, you’re also become a part of an insanely supportive (and huge) community of bloggers. Many of whom are making crazy money.
