Do you have a highly demanding job that stresses you out?
Do you wish that sometimes, you could drop some shifts without this having such a drastic effect on your income?
Do you sometimes dream of being able to have enough so you could take a relaxing vacation? Or pay a debt down quicker? Or save some more Or not always feel so strung up about money?
All of these scenarios seem like situations that can suck the happiness right to out of your life.
Demanding, time-consuming job, less than enough money to live your dreams, expensive bills, insurance payments, and the list goes on. But, do you know that starting a simple side hustle can help reduce your stress significantly?
You see, although many of use may not want to admit it, a lack of money can make us very unhappy. If you’re working hard, but can’t get the things you want for yourself and your family, this will make just about anyone unhappy.
This is where side hustles can come in handy. In 2015 I was very stressed out. No matter what I did, there never seemed to be enough money to make ends meet. It always felt like I was making enough to barely scrape by and nothing more.
That was until I started my own side hustle (which has now grown into a full-time income for me). Now, I’m happier, I have more money than I need every month, I can actually save money and I’m working on building something that I truly enjoy.
So, how can a side hustle make you happier?
Side hustles can help you make more cash.
Side hustles can bring more cash into your life. You can then use this cash to supplement your income (or even replace your income as time goes on if this is what you want). This can help make you happier because you’ve now taken a big load off of your shoulders.
Side hustles can make you feel more purposeful.
The side hustle I started helped me share secrets on how I went from making barely any money, to now make over $7000 per month online. By sharing this, I’ve helped many people around the world start their own side hustle for extra cash. Sharing this information with others makes me feel awesome and happy that someone somewhere who needs this information can finally change their life for the better!
Side hustles can grow beyond your imagination
When I started, I never expected to be making this much money from it. However, it had grown into something amazing which is mine and no one can take it away from me. Because of this opportunity, I no longer have to deal with anxiety and depression. I no longer had the fear that I would get fired from my job because even if I did, I would be fine! With the right side hustle, you can improve your mental health too!
You can choose a side hustle that aligns completely with your dreams
Certain side hustles can align completely with your dreams and aspirations. For example, if you enjoy health and fitness and aspire to work in this niche, you can do so by working on a business that is centered on health and fitness. This is one of the best things I’ve found to make people happy. Working in a field that you absolutely enjoy, impacting peoples lives positively and making money doing it! Surely, there aren’t many things that are better than that!
Making money alone can’t make you fully happy. There will always be other things in your life that will bring you great joy. However, having the ability to earn a decent living doing something you like to do, is up there on the list of things that will indeed make you a happier person. With a solid side hustle, you can go on trips, save more money, spend more time with your family because you don’t have to work so much anymore, feel more at peace and sometimes, help people out more, splurge a little and so much more!
Note: Not all side hustles help people completely quit their jobs, however, there are a few that do and others can help you make a great supplemental income which is great.
