Living My Side Hustle: Inspiration for Anyone That Does Extra Dave and Jennifer Campbell

E43 - What You Need and What You Don't Need To Start a Side Hustle
What You Need and What You Don’t
There are very few prerequisites to side hustling. To be successful in using this model, mostly you need:
• The right frame of mind.
• The willingness to act.
• You don’t need much money.
• You don’t need much time.
• You don’t need a business degree, or any kind of specialized education.
• You don’t need employees, assistants, or business partners.
• You don’t need experience starting a business.
Here are the objectives for each week:
Week 1: Learn to generate profitable ideas
Week 2: Select your best idea (not all ideas are created equal!)
Week 3: Prepare to share your best idea with the right group of people
Week 4: Launch--probably before you’re ready--and track your results
Week 5: Regroup and refine
Your Turn: Let’s Get to Work! 
You need to determine whether the side hustling life is right for you or not. 

Here’s a quick test:
• Do you like the idea of having more than one source of income?
• Are you willing to devote at least thirty minutes a day to building your hustle, for at least the next month?

E39 - Eight Things to Avoid When Considering A Side Hustle - Future Proof Your Idea Right From The Start
When considering a side hustle, there are certain pitfalls to avoid to ensure a positive and successful experience. Here are some things to avoid:
Unrealistic expectations: Avoid falling into the trap of expecting instant success or overnight riches from your side hustle. It takes time and effort to build a successful venture, so manage your expectations accordingly.Lack of market research: Avoid starting a side hustle without conducting thorough market research. Understand your target audience, competition, and the demand for your product or service. Without proper research, you risk entering a saturated market or offering something that has limited appeal.Overcommitting and burnout: Be cautious about taking on too many side hustles or dedicating excessive time and energy to your ventures. Consider your existing commitments and make sure you have a realistic work-life balance to avoid burnout.Neglecting legal and financial considerations: Don't overlook the legal and financial aspects of your side hustle. Ensure you comply with any licensing or legal requirements and keep track of your income and expenses for tax purposes. Seek professional advice if needed.Lack of passion or interest: Avoid choosing a side hustle solely based on financial potential if you have no genuine interest or passion for it. Pursuing something you enjoy will help maintain motivation and increase your chances of success.Ignoring scalability and sustainability: Consider the long-term viability of your side hustle. Will it be sustainable? Is there potential for growth and scalability? Avoid investing significant time and resources into something that may not have a future beyond a temporary venture.Neglecting your primary job or main responsibilities: Ensure your side hustle doesn't interfere with your primary job or other important responsibilities. Avoid compromising your main source of income or neglecting your family, health, or personal life in pursuit of your side hustle.Failing to set clear goals and boundaries: Define your goals and set clear boundaries for your side hustle. Establish realistic targets, milestones, and limits on the time and effort you dedicate to it. This will help you maintain focus and prevent it from overwhelming other aspects of your life.By being mindful of these pitfalls and avoiding them, you can set yourself up for a more successful and fulfilling side hustle experience. Remember to assess your options carefully, stay organized, and balance your commitments effectively.
