I have read “You Absolutely Shouldn’t Start a Side Hustle” by Zulie Rane and thanked her for sharing so ingeniously and ingenuously. There were many points of view which I agree wholeheartedly.

While I agree that a side hustle is not easy to embark on, I would still work at it but on the premise that I would hold on to my stable, main job.

To me, a side hustle is an extra source of income, preferably something different from one’s main job such as writing which brings immense joy and benefits.

My point however is; Do it anyway. Even if it is difficult. Even if fails. Even if it pays me less than $2 a month so far. Especially with writing which I am passionate about.

Nike says, “Just do it”

“Never, never, never give up!” — Winston Churchill.

These two quotes are my credo for meaningful living. We will never know what hidden talent we have until we try.

Just don’t do it for the money. You will be disappointed and discouraged if that is your first aim.
