Do you have an idea for a Side Hustle?
Let’s say you don’t! This could be because you already have a business that already absorbs 110% of your time.
Regardless, it’s worth taking the time to check out Side Hustles, provided by CC members.
Why?
- We don’t know what we don’t know!
- Checking out what others are doing may give you ideas you can use.
- You may be able to support other CC members in their endeavours – and build all-important trust in the process!
- Most importantly, you are likely to come across many people who are desperately looking for more than their current employment provides (you may be doing them a huge favour by introducing them to CC members willing to offer them a side-hustle opportunity).
- You may be able to engage with other Side Hustles that will not only support your idea but will also help you earn additional income while supporting other CC members.
- For example, there are some great tools that will greatly enhance your network-building activities, which can also be income-generating. In other words, extra income for very little extra effort.
On the other hand, you may be excited about a business idea you are itching to launch!
- Our advice is: slow down, don’t rush. If possible, keep your day job!
- It’s great that you are building your network – we are great believers in “network first, ideas second”
- Only 28% of your business success is attributed to how great your idea is. Many great ideas fail, while mediocre ideas succeed.
First Steps
- Discuss your ideas with others in the CC who have gone before you.
- You may be excited about your idea – but will your market be as excited as you?
- If the market isn’t ready, can you pivot?
- Do you have a team of people that can work with?
