3 Reasons You Need a Side Hustle

This post is long overdue but here we go! For the past year or two years this term “side hustle” has been floating around…but what does the term really mean?

For those of you on MARS, a side hustle is any activity outside of your job used to bring in additional income to supplement your day job income.

The current economic situation, taxes, Government…chile these expensive Beyoncé tickets and constant Jet Blue airfare specials have made it damn near impossible to be able to afford your current lifestyle on one stream of income.

That leads us to the reason for this blog the 3 reasons you need a side hustle in your life!

Reason #1: Financial Freedom

There is nothing better than shopping and not looking at the tag or buying a plane ticket without having to check your credit card balance to see if you will be declined…

PEOPLE…you know you need a side hustle when you have to check your online banking before you enter the supermarket or you have a mental calendar countdown to pay day…This is not cool.

Having additional income allows you the freedom to live life as comfortably as you can without the stress attached to financial worries.

Reason #2: The Spring can Dry Up!

Suppose you go into your “stable” job and they give your redundancy papers, then what? You put out all of this effort into building their company and their brand to “secure” your job and they sack you! There is no feeling more powerless than knowing someone else is controlling your destiny. The amount you are paid, when you take vacation, how much vacation you can take, when you will work, when will be your time off, what you wear! Should you leave your sole way of providing for your family in the hands of another person?

Let that sink in for a bit…if the answer is HELL NO! Then you need to devise a way to bring in multiple streams of income.

Reason#3 : Nothing feels better than Being Your Own Boss!

There is something about setting your own hours, deciding what you do and when and the ability to earn unlimited income based on your hard work that cannot be described in words. Knowing that you are in control of your destiny, income and personal and professional development is an adrenaline rush. Suddenly your 9-5 becomes an entity you are providing a service for that brings in one source of income in your portfolio of “hustle”.

I hope this blog inspires you to go out there and create additional sources of income. If you are interested in freelancing on our team email us at infohrboss@gmail.com.
