3 Reasons You Need A Side Hustle

Growing up in Jamaica in the late 70s and early 80s, I remember my mom constantly pursuing opportunities for income generation outside of her job. This example planted a seed in my young mind about the possibilities that exist in pursuing these ventures. It took me a lot longer than I would have liked to be bitten by the entrepreneurial bug, but now that I am bitten, I love it!

Getting involved in a side hustle seems like an unlikely thing for a physician to do, doesn’t it? Well, to be honest with you, having a side hustle actually saved me from crashing and burning when I was going through occupational… Click To Tweet My feeling about pursuing a side hustle has deep roots for me because pursuing this venture has led to immense personal and professional growth, rekindling of creative thought and development of leadership skills. In addition, I am constantly learning about what it is like to run a business.

It is inspiring to see amazing youth like Zandra Cunningham, who started her own health and beauty line at age 10 which was born out of pursuing her passion.

3. Fulfilling Your Purpose. We are all here on this planet to fulfill a specific purpose. When we realize what our purpose is and define a path to realizing it, we often are drawn to making our impact via a side hustle. Starting something of your own allows for you to progress the movement related to your purpose and make an impact on your world. Never underestimate the power of you. Click To Tweet
